Piazza in Argyll & Bute

Great choice and perfect service for someone who is gluten and dairy free. Service was very attentive. Had a delicious pasta dish following wonderful minestrone

Service great , great location eating some of the best pizza n pasta Ive ever had whilst looking out into the Oban harbour , even the drinks were excellent. Cant speak highly enough of this place.

After a long day touring Mull and Iona, it was nice to have a great Italian dinner at Piazza when we got off of the ferry. The service was attentive and pleasant, the food was very delicious and the setting was lovely, right on the waterfront. They can do half-sized servings of most dishes, so we were able to get a small pizza, which was the perfect amount. Very enjoyable dinner. Reserve ahead of time.

Pizzeria in einem Hafenhotel, gute Lage. Bedienung drückte uns am Eingang mehrere Seiten Getränke/Speisekarte ohne jedes Lächeln in die Hand. Karten waren verknittert und fleckig. Wir haben Fish&Chips und Nudeln Godfather bestellt. Essen war nach 5 Minuten da, also vorgekocht. Essbar aber nichts besonderes. Nach Kartenzahlung grosses Palaver, da die Zahlung nicht registriert war. Musste neu gezahlt werden

The margarita pizza was very average, tasted like canned sauce.

Excellent spot which we happened upon and it has a view of the water. Really popular we were lucky to get a table. Pleasant welcome, attentive staff. Can recommend the Penne Italiano, the Garden Pizza and the Olives. Chilled atmosphere and good food what more could you want. Ice Cream Cone for pudding - you can have it - I recommend the Mint Choc Chip.

You cannot expect a very good Italian restaurant on the pier at Oban but it's false. A great choice of Italian meals and the pizza are succulent.

Short waiting time. Food good. Employees top

Food was very fine. Service staff was very friendly. Next time I would call ahead and make a reservation, otherwise it would be a bit of luck if you got a table

Had a lovely family meal here on Sunday night. The setting is just beautiful, fantastic food and really pleasant staff. Rohit and his team are doing a fantastic job. Well done x

Arrived to find a queue of people waiting for a table. Most of the tables outside were free, so asked if we could sit outside. An Italian woman shrugged her shoulders, screwed up her face and pointed to a table. We took a table outside and were quickly and politely served by a young waiter. (it was his last evening) We ordered a pizza each, which arrived quickly. To say I was disappointed with the pizza is an understatement! It was tasteless, and looked awful. You can buy better pizzas from a supermarket! I see that this is a 'family' owned restaurant. I really hope it's not owned by Italians as their ancestors would be turning in their graves at the standard of pizza being served here! If you enjoy pizza, don't eat here!

Very expensive for what you get. Drinks came in a can lol, lasagna looked like a frozen supermarket one. Absolute fortune for it, the chips were just skinny pizza shop chips , the pasta was bland. Nice staff though. Lad serving us was a nice lad. No children options only half portions , if somone got half of the slice of lasagne I got then they would be very hungry still after. So not the best really. Shame as the kids chose it and were very disappointed. :( the 2 star is based on value for money and quality of served food.

We ate very well and were served very friendly. Be sure to make a reservation as it was very full

Very nice meal well looked after by the team, especially Rohit. Good atmosphere. Will be back

Honestly the food was pretty good as for a non meat eater and the menu offered a good range. Would have certainly gone again on my stay here in Oban but the slow and poor service (ignored several times and forgotten about) did make it unfortunately a less enjoyable experience. 🥲

We had spent the day in the rain, wind and cold and and we're desperate for some great Italian food. Wow! Did we stumble on the right restaurant! The staff was very friendly and treated us like family. Very conversational and accommodating. The food came to us quickly and was delicious. I ordered a salad and spaghetti alla bolognese. My partner ordered a Margherita pizza. We also ordered chicken fingers and mozz sticks! And be sure to order the tiramisu! It was all fantastic. The manager led by example. He worked as hard as the staff and took time to talk to us. He was funny and personable. If I'm ever in Oban again, you can bet I'll go here+

Great views here and a pretty vibrant place to eat. The pizza is solid and it's a great stop if you are on a bus tour.

Piazza Restaurant was at first a good choice. It had a nice waterfront view, but was hard to get into as it was completely booked, but we managed. Excited for some good Italian food after 13 days of Scottish food on our vacation. Sadly, the food at Piazza is NOT true Italian. I ordered the Lasagne and it was by far the worst Lasagne I have ever had. Pasty layers of pasta sheets, ground beef in a terrible sauce, and nothing else. There was no ricotta or herbs or anything that resembled Italian Lasagne. It literally tasted like it came out of a Chef-Boyardee can. I try to be positive and share good things about every place I review, but this place had only two: the view and the service, not the food. The chef could simply watch a YouTube video to learn how to make true Italian Lasagne and people would come back. Isn't that the goal?

We had dinner at Piazza this evening. Efficient and fast service! No exorbitant prices. Nothing to say

Arrived in Oban on route to Inverness after being delayed and diverted on the roads up from Glasgow. We were hungry but didn't have a reservation arranged in Oban. We found Piazza on the waterfront which sounded ideal so we thought we'd try it. Good location and right next to a car park. We ordered two pizzas which were mediocre. Too cheesy with oil build-up, and the dough could've done with a few more mins in the oven. I ended up having to scrape some of the cheese off. The waitress took our plates and saw that most of one pizza was left. She didn't ask us how our meal was. We asked for the bill, paid and left. Service from the waitress wasn't good and we didn't feel welcomed by her when we walked in. Wouldn't go back to try it again and wouldn't recommend. This restaurant looks really nice but the pizzas were not. Please also be aware if you needed to use one that there are no sanitary bins in the ladies!

Brilliant staff and delicious food - definitely worth listening to the waiters recommendations! Very grateful to the team for fitting us in last minute :)

Good place with good views. Service could be a but improved including cleanliness, otherwise, a very good place to eat. Good variety on the menu and great taste as well. Enjoy food while sitting outdoors or indoors with good views of water and boats. Pizza is recommended. Served very hot. Not easy to find parking.

Lovely food, fast efficient friendly service and good value for money too.

After arriving in Oban in the early evening (6:30ish), we needed dinner, didn't have reservations anywhere, and didn't want a long, drawn-out affair. Italian sounded good so we found Piazza down on the Oban waterfront. Even without a booking, we were seated fairly quickly upstairs at a table for two. Service was spotty and not that friendly. One guy seemed to be managing the entire upstairs dining room, which is fairly large. My husband ordered a beer which should've come out quickly to be enjoyed before the meal arrived. There seemed to be some confusion between the dining room manager and the servers who brought food up. They didn't know where orders went so sometimes the food or drinks sat there until the manager could serve them. Not sure why the servers didn't just bring things on to the right table? The food was okay - not outstanding, but not bad either. Another odd thing that happened was that, as we were eating, the dining room manager started rearranging tables. He moved an empty two-top table and slid it right up next to our table, added chairs, and then proceeded to set the table for the next guests. We were trying to eat and talk, but he was working there within inches of us. Strange. We thought they might even seat guests there since the place was so busy, but thankfully the table remained empty. Piazza isn't bad, but don't go and expect fine dining or exceptional service. If ever in Oban again, we would not go back.

Van tevoren gereserveerd bij Piazza. Toen we aan de tafel zaten werd nog even gemeld dat we 1 uur en een kwartier de tijd hadden want de tafel was daarna weer gereserveerd voor een ander. Jammer dat zoiets niet al aan de telefoon benoemd wordt. Het eten was prima en de locatie erg mooi. Het enthousiasme van de serveersters/serveerders verschilde. Er is geen 1x bij ons gevraagd of alles naar wens was. Wij zouden de volgende keer een andere plek uitkiezen om te eten.

Good location on the Oban seafront, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. But the food NO, pizza not very nice looking, vegetable starter with fake dried tomatoes, they were just crushed tomatoes, sweet and sour onion with an unpleasant taste, artichoke can pass. Penne all'arrabbiata soft and extremely spicy. NO!!! Locale situato in buona posizione sul lungo mare di Oban, staff cordiale e ambiente carino. Ma il cibo NO, pizza di aspetto poco gradevole, antipasto di verdure con pomodori secchi finti, erano semplici pomodori schiacciato, cipolla in agrodolce dal sapore poco piacevole, carciofo può passare. Penne all arrabbiata molli ed estremamente piccanti. NO!!!

Great Italian food right next to Oban Harbour.

We came in around 6pm on a week day as a family of four. The genteleman at the door kindly led the way upstairs where we could enjoy the beautiful view. Hospitality spotless. We ordered soups, pizza, pasta and a burger. While we waited for our orders the place became very noisy, more than lively which for the long run became bothersome. The pizza was really hard to cut, the size smaller than what we would expect. One of the pasta was hard to rate, wasn't tasteful, the chicken instead of the panko bread crumbs has regular crumbs etc... Overall we were not impressed, for the price they ask for the meal we expected so much better. Be mindful of these, who knows maybe you will like it.

Family of six, walked in without a reservation, we only had to wait ten minutes to be seated. Nice atmosphere, cracking views across the harbour, service friendly. The food was excellent, we enjoyed our mains and desert. The menu prices were reasonable, certainly value for money, their price point matched the quality they were serving. Empty plates all round.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, overlooking Oban harbour. Service was fantastic and food was delicious. Heartily recommend booking here.

Really enjoyed this meal, lovely view, weather great and staff were so nice 👌

Upon arrival, we nearly lost our table as another couple who had also booked arrived early, we had arrived on time, but after some time, they decided to wait. We had a nice table overlooking the Quay. Initially the staff were quite attentive and we were able to order quite quickly. However we waited 40 minutes for our meal, given that we only ordered two pizzas. The capricciosa was small in size, the base was quite hard, dry, and tough and appeared pre made. There wasn't much ham on the pizza, and the consistency of the cheese had lost its gooeyness and had the appearance that it had dried out under a heat lamp. The quattro formaggi was exactly the same basewise and in terms of having dried out a bit and only had 3 small little fingernail sized pieces of gorgonzola on it. Again, the pizza was quite small in size. We asked for olive oil to drizzle over the pizzas, and a vinegar bottle containing a very pale thin yellow liquid was brought to the table. When tried, it did not taste or have the consistency of olive oil, so we did not use it. Once we were served our mains, the waitress started to lose interest and we had to chase the bill and then further chase payment. The restaurant was busy with people waiting to get in, but the staff seemed overwhelmed with the demand and had no sense they could make things easier for themselves by taking payment a bit quicker. The location of the restaurant is good but in terms of interior decor it's nothing special and a bit grey with nothing linking it to its environment ie a harbour. It was a bit corporate. We wouldn't return and after having been looking forward to a pizza during our holiday, it was very disappointing.

Very expensive. Portions are small. The service is so-so.

Nice location on the pier in Oban. The food was delicious and despite the crowds, the service was friendly and correct!

Great place on the water. Food was reasonable, service great and very reasonable prices.

Great pizza! They worked hard to seat our party of seven.

The minute steak was really good and the pizza too. The Dessert was delicious i had waffle con gelato. I really recommend this place.

Ordered a takeaway, food was shocking. Calzone was mostly dough, small portion and tasteless. Ordered an adults cheesy pasta for two year old daughter thinking there's plenty to go round but again the portion size let them down. Wish we just went to Tesco down the road and bought ready meals which would be tastier than what was given to us last night. 5 of us ate and no one could say at the end of the meal that is was enjoyable. Every meal was tasteless and mundane. Worse Italian I've been too.

Waited 30 minutes in the cold and rain for a “you don’t have a reservation? It’s not going to be possible! » when there is a queue outside, you warn! It’s the least we could do, we wouldn’t have waited especially for pizzas in Scotland… So we ate at the ice-cream Burger, it’s cheap and it does the job.

Yes, an Italian place on the waterfront in Oban. Very tasty meals. Great service.

Pasta tasted very good, but the portions were more for children than adults. The only consolation is the view.

Good location for water views and appeared to be a popular spot. We ordered 2 pizzas. To be honest, the quality wasn't great. Crust was dry, topping very sparse and very oily. The base felt like a frozen supermarket pizza. Am wishing I'd taken a photo to share with this review because the pizza didn't at all resemble what others have shared.

Really enjoyed the food. The place was very busy when we visited but standards of service did not falter.

Great food and view over the harbour. Loved our family meal. Special place to visit. Thankyou

Really friendly relaxed atmosphere.

It just wasn't that great. The wait staff was all very nice, but our table wasn't ready for our reservation time. When we were seated, it was next to the window with the lovely main street and water view. But we couldn't enjoy it at all. The full restaurant has no sound absorption whatsoever. The noise was unlike I've ever heard in a restaurant before - sounded more like the front line of a war. We all enjoyed our food but all agreed that the portion size was too small. I looked around while we were leaving and noted that every single plate we passed was licked clean; an indication that it was good but that the food ended before the person was satisfied. We ordered mozzarella sticks, bruchetta, Alfredo, the one with anchovies, salmon mushroom Alfredo, and meatball marinara. The only disappointment was the sauce with the mozzarella sticks. It was a chili sauce rather than marinara and we found that to be weird. In our opinion the quality of the food did not make up for the small portion side and the awful atmosphere. We ended up ordering a pizza to go because my kids were still very hungry.

Very well locate, good service but with average food.

Excellent modern Italian restaurant. Atmosphere and staff were terrific. Food was great and made fresh to order.

Nice location to sit, staff were friendly and welcoming, food was awful

Great location, pizza was yummy and drinks delightful. Tip, as soon as you get in grab a menu and order, this will speed up your food. Overheard a couple saying have been waiting ages for a menu. Will definitely use this place again 👍

Italian restaurant with poor quality food. The staff looked tired. Bread is low quality baked goods. Salad was not tasty. Pasta bolognaise…sauce was floating in oily water (reheated?), the taste wasn't really that great either. Wines tasted were of poor quality. The restaurant offers a nice view and that's about it.

Nice to eat something different than standard pub food. Delicious pasta, good wine. Friendly service

Great little restaurant, excellent service from the local staff.i would recommend booking as it is a very popular place,plenty of parking

We had a delicious dinner here. Refined flavors and not too large portions. Highly recommended.

Busy, Italian food was absolutely lovely. Brilliant view, would recommend to book.

Tasty food in a great spot by the harbour. Lovely staff too.

The pizza is absolutely not recommended! It is extremely small and there was more crust than toppings on the pizza. Also very greasy. Frozen pizza would have tasted better. To start we should sit at the bar. After a few minutes we were finally brought to a table. Please note that several tables were free and without reservation markings. We got dirty dishes... The only positive thing to mention is the ambience and the great view!

Excellent food Good sevice Welcoming owner

I'm not one for writing bad reviews as I work in the hospitality trade plus rarely get a bad experience in restaurants, I know that we are only human and can make mistakes but if you are not going to put the same amount of effort in to a meal as you do when you start your shift to when the kitchen is "Closing in 5 minutes" then but I'm sorry you shouldn't be allowing your front of house staff to take orders 5 minutes before closing since the chefs left before we even had our meal infront of us...So we got sat down outside where we picked waited up to 3/5 minutes for a menu hurried on to order so i chosen to have the beef burger which was a bit on the greasy side but was edible, Our little boy had some chips due to not being offered a kids menu, my partner chosen to have the Spaghetti bolognese which looked to be flung together in a greasy tomato water barely edible tasted better microwave Spaghetti bolognese....Service we were not asked once how our meal was up until we were finished when the lovely chap eventually appeared so we got the bill while this lovely chap was giving us the bill may I add thank you for the kind gesture of taking one of the meals off the bill I appreciate that but what I didn't appreciate was when giving us the bill was taking it upon yourself to read my partners messages on her phone to our friend who recommend and said how lovely you restaurant was along with myself reading the reviews...we are extremely disappointed with the food and service but I would like to thank tesco who saved the day with a meal deal for our long journey back home *Spaghetti bolognese in the pictures below*

Great food, good choices. A restaurant with two floors, upper floor, has lovely views. We really enjoyed it here. Book well in advance

Arrived at this restaurant at 2.55pm and was promptly sat outside which we chose. To then be told "kitchen closes at 3pm so if you just want to give me the order quickly" we werent given menus for at least 3 minutes after this. So quickly scanned the menu and i decided upon spaghetti bolognes my parter got a cheese burger. We had to order a side of chips for my son as no child menu available or offered if they do have one!. Food arrived almost 10minutes later. And i could tell straight away this spaghetti wasnt anything like the reviews. Mine sat in a bowl of greasy, watery sauce. The mince was mushy and lacked that rich sauce youd expect. Not once during thr meal did anyone come to ask if anything was needed/everything okay. Upon the waiter spotting us looking around rather helplessly he came over and asked "all good for you?" To which i replied unfortunately not and explained to how the spag bol was sat in water and he replied "if you didnt like it i cant do anything if you dont tell me and kitchen is closed so i cant get anything else for you" i explained how I didn't want another meal and how im disappointed in yhe meal not that I just "didnt like it". My friend had recommended this place so naturally as one does i sent them a message including the picture ill include on here. The waiter arrived with the bill and infomed us he had removed the spaghetti from the bill. I had placed my phone upon the table put of curiosity while the waiter had arrived back to engage in conversation. To which it became apparent that the waiter took it upon himself to READ my personal message which was on my phone and began saying "oh youve already wrote bad things" . Then backtracked as he noticed i was shocked hed read my phone. Between me and my partner we have worked in the busy restaurant industry for almost 10 years and i would never expose any customers to this type of behaviour.

We had a lovely meal, they cater for coeliacs, gluten free pizza and pasta is available and they even made us a GF garlic bread pizza base. Dogs are allowed in the outside seating area and they had a water bowl.

We were served by Rohit This was an extremely unpleasant experience. As soon as We entered the restaurant, he said kitchen closes within 10min, which is fine. We ordered food and asked some questions about the beer, he pounced on us and said you are really rude!???? Infact the whole time his behaviour was extremely rude and he even pointed his hand and fingers towards me while talking. Very argumentative, unprofessional behaviour. When I asked his name, he asked my name and threatened that he wont serve the food to me if I do not tell my name. The food was excellent but his behaviour was very bad! In the end he said that he is not threatened by any reviewed!!!! This did not end here He literally followed me around 400 mts to say “ you are pathetic and he is here for so long, this is what Im teaching to my kids”!!!! Guess he needs a psych help, I couldnt say much! Total harassment!

Food is fantastic, good selection to choose from and good portion size. Staff really helpful and nice

Very warm welcome and attentive serving staff

Best spaghetti carbonara I've ever had ❤️

Great food, staff working really hard, helpful and overall great experience

We booked ahead, the restaurant was busy, the staff were pleasant and helpful. The food was of a high standard. Highly recommend

Good food reasonably priced. Would recommend booking as they were queueing outside door just as we were about to leave.

Great find for us (party of 4) staff were amazing and super friendly. We had 4 pizzas which were excellent and arrived quickly. Now our goto when in Oban - apologies again for mix up on payments 😳🫣

We visited here as a group of four. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who appeared to be a manger. The overall setting was lovely especially when we were seated at a table with a sea view. We were greeted at our table by Thomas who provided us with exceptional service throughout. He couldn't do enough for us and we loved his banter. We couldn't have been more grateful for the service we received from Thomas. A great asset to the team. Our group ordered pizza and pasta dishes along with starters. All thw food was lovely and speedy. We would 100% recommend visiting here you won't be disappointed.

First, I was amazed, how amazing their gluten-free pasta tasted - just like real pasta. 24 hours later I realized they hadn’t been gluten-free after all. Ruined the whole day. I spare you the details.

The service was very fast and excellent on a busy evening. The food was very delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Very good food. The restaurant was very busy, and even then, the service was excellent.

The food tastes good, but the portions are clearly too small. A £14 portion of pasta definitely won't fill you up.

Kind and efficient service, lovely bayside view, and good classic thin crust pizza! We were pleasantly surprised as we walked in on a busy Friday evening without a booking and got a table within minutes. Our order was taken shortly, the drinks arrived swiftly, and our pizzas soon after. My husband enjoyed his pizza Diavola with extra fresh chillis and Nduja sausage while I was very satisfied with my choice of the Scorzesse pizza with mushrooms and smoked salmon. Affordable prices and all in all a great experience!

Food was great. The focaccia was to die for, even ordered more to take away. The service and location are great to!

***** Good food nice place Staff frendly I recommend this place I will definitely visit****

Excellent Italian food! We got the linguini, chicken sandwich and the Chiete pizza and they were all delicious. The cinnamon waffle was my favourite. The service was very quick and the food was hot and fresh. I would definitely go here again.

Really nice food, well worth the money

Great food and service, the pizza and fish were delicious and the staff so accommodating. Make sure you check the opening times as they do close between lunch and dinner service and we almost missed out 😊 the view is also spectacular from the tables!

The restaurant has a great view, is clean, and has a stylish decor. The staff were kind and accommodating. There were a few drinks that weren't available, so we were given replacements. This is fine, but they should have asked first. The food wasn't memorable, but it wasn't bad either. I would probably try something new rather than go back if I'm in Oban again.

Cary out not hot. Portion size very small

The pizza was very soggy. Probably they bought it frozen and top with whatever veggies. The pasta 16 pounds, quality of a Tesco meal deal. The Sky beer was good. The waiters are really kind.

Lovely food. Great for gluten free.

Too fancy atmosphere and honestly the food didn't meet my expectations. The staff were very nice and service was great.

Fantastic food. Had cheesy garlic bread to start (shared) followed by the Chicken tagliatelle with creamy chive sauce. Had a taste of my husband's tiramasu and it was delicious.

Lovely spot, shame the food doesn't match the view. Pizza base obviously not freshly prepared. It was doughy (though clearly not fresh dough or baked in a pizza oven) and unappetising. The spaghetti with creamy mushroom sauce with smoked salmon and additional prawns had no salmon to be seen. Service very good though and very accommodating.

Me and my partner visited Oban and found this place on our first night there. We had a fantastic time, we were especially happy with the atmosphere, it was nice and lively but you could have a clear conversation at low volume, perfect for us. All the food was delicious and came quickly, they also serve Skye Gold, a great Scottish beer. The menu also clearly describes the different kinds of pasta which is much appreciated! The location is fantastic and offers great views of the harbour and the ocean. We were also very happy the prices, our bill came to around £40 per head, which for starters, mains + sides, desserts and drinks is very fair!!

Came for lunch with friends without a booking on a Sunday lunchtime, staff very welcoming and friendly. We had some unusual dietary requests which were met with efficiency and courtesy and the food was very good indeed. Would certainly recommend. Thank you for a good experience.!

The location is beautiful, the staff were lovely and friendly but the food was disappointing! Pasta was bland and looked and tasted like frozen pre cut chicken. The crab was also tasteless. We were in and out within 40 mins. Perhaps just an off night as our experience is very different from the other reviews for the food quality.

Very busy but service was very good, food was delicious and very reasonably priced, will be back when next in Oban.

Nice place, staff friendly, reasonably priced and food fantastic, especially the romantica pizza what's not to like, recommend booking.

Nice food good service set in harbour area good views of the bay

Great view of bay and ferries. Tasty food and good service. Price is ok too.

I and granny had our evening meal at this lovely place and fully enjoyed the whole experience even though the atmosphere was a bit noisy however it didn't stop us from enjoying our meals here. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant on a busy night especially the manager. He was extremely nice to us even though the restaurant itself is booked up he had gone the extra mile and accommodated us with a Table. Food was absolutely superb, good value and good choices. I highly recommend this place to everybody. Thank You Piazza Restaurant, Oban

The food ( bruscetta and lasagne ) was nice, the dressing on the salad excellent. The staff were busy.

Good food, good service, good views

Nice pizza, super friendly staff and great position. Lovely Oban 😍

Portions could have been bigger, but nevertheless, very enjoyable. Beef cannelloni was excellent. Tiramisu is not to be missed!
