The Oven in Fife

Informal Italian restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. Good choice of the more unusual pastas and risottos. What we chose was excellent.

I got the Parma sandwich, I was quite underwhelmed. The prosciutto was quite pooey. Not worth the money.

My husband and I are staying at a caravan park close by, it wasn't clear this restaurant is within a holiday home resort and signage is very confusing. There is no mention of this restaurant on any signs around or in the park either. However, once we finally went into the main reception area there was a small sign stating Luna Rossa room. We had a lovely Chateaubriand and the staff were lovely. Please update your sign posts! I am sure this will bring in more customers.

What a great place for food and family. The 4 adults and 13 month old grandson enjoyed all the food and checked on regularly I’ve booked my husband 70th as there’s something on the menu for everyone and the prices are really reasonable. We will back before that though!

In the middle of the charming little streets of St Andrews, I found a hidden gem that made me feel like I was dining in a tucked-away trattoria in Rome: Little Italy. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with that cozy vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy without rushing —and that unmistakable smell of real Italian cooking that grabs you the moment you walk in. I started with the garlic bread, and it was spot on. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right touch of garlic and olive oil —nothing else needed. For the main course, I went straight for the chicken pesto spaghetti: a simple combo, maybe, but here they absolutely nail it. The pesto was fresh and creamy, with that real basil and pine nut flavor that changes everything. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked, adding just the right amount of protein without taking over the dish. I left happy, with that feeling of having eaten something made with real care. If you're ever in St Andrews, don't miss it —Little Italy is a true gem.
