Zucca Ristorante Pizzeria in South Lanarkshire

Waited ages for starters. When they came the portion size of the Arancini was minuscule. The main course was even longer , then they brought one of my son’s dish but not the other two we ordered. Then they took this away because it was too long a wait. The excuse was that the Chicken milanese wasn’t cooked properly. They left the garlic bread , so it was cold when we started eating. My son had the beef ragu tagliatelle tasted practically the same as my pasta in the Milanese. Sorry , I won’t be back.

myself & my girlfriend both got a pint of Pepsi which cost £3.75 each. we both got a portion of mozzarella sticks to start which cost £7.95 each. you only get two so we thought this was quite expensive (nearly £4 per one). the cheese wasn’t melted enough in the middle which was a bit disappointing. it came with a small side salad that had no dressing on so we didn’t bother eating it - wouldn’t take much for a drizzle of balsamic or something. we both got combos for our main (£16.50 each). I got half margherita pizza with linguine arrabbiata & my girlfriend got half veneto (mushroom and ham) pizza with penne enzo. I felt the pasta was too soft and didn’t taste like how arrabbiata should. my girlfriend thought her whole main was quite tasteless. we also got plain fries (£5) to share which weren’t great either. the total bill was £61.40. we definitely won’t be returning as there are much nicer Italian restaurants in surrounding local areas which are cheaper.

We had the best night in Zuccas for dinner, the staff were all so friendly especially our waitress Emma. She was so helpful and made our experience so much better!

Came here for breakfast and my husband ordered the stornoway stack which looked good and he enjoyed it. I ordered eggs avacado which looked as though a 5 year old had made it. the eggs were poached however were overdone. the avacdo was not smashed and appeared to be blended like the kind bought in packs from supermarket. On the side was one half of a tomato. this was not worth the 11.00 pounds they charged. Defo needs improvement. coffee was really good to be fair

My wife and I are very fortunate that we live within walking distance of Zucca. We've been going since it opened and we've never been disappointed. Yesterday evening we visited for our usual pre-christmas dinner. There's always a warm welcome waiting for us and as usual the food and service were perfect. I had the cozze bianco to start followed by steak tagliatta (sliced steak on a delicious salad). My wife had prawn cocktail followed by coda di rospo (monkfish, parma ham, mussels with potato fondant and a chilli, lime & coconut broth). Everything was beyond delicious. The service was perfect. Always a delight.

Really delicious food in nice, lovely atmosphere. This was our first time visiting Zucca and it won’t be our last. Staff were both knowledgeable and pleasant and looked after us very well. Food was freshly prepared and really enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

Mi sono presentato senza aver prenotato sabato sera e mi hanno fatto comunque sedere: servizio impeccabile e veloce. La pizza era buona ma poteva essere anche migliore; in complesso molto soddisfatto.

Lovely meal for me and my teenage grandchildren. The food was lovely but the service was absolutely first class. I would highly recommend.

Anniversary meal, had looked at the menu before coming and picked what we liked. The wine advertised on the website was £19 but when we went it was £25, quite a jump The food however was nice but felt the restaurant has went down slightly as we were sat just opposite the kitchen facing a bare wall with holes in it, (a picture or something would make it nicer) sorry we didn't leave a tip because of this.

Visited Zucca in East Kilbride with 22 people for a pre-wedding night dinner for my friend and all her loved ones. Marcus and the team were nothing less than spectacular! From the point of booking, nothing was a hassle. All 22 of us were seated, orders taken, food arrived and left without a glitch! I was initially nervous about having such a large party, having phoned other places who were reluctant to seat us due to the sheer size of the party. However Marcus was great to link in with for booking. The food was absolutely delicious, particularly the tirimasu. My partner and I even commented that it was the best tiramisu we have ever tasted. All food arrived without any issues, hot and fresh. The staff were all super friendly too! All round, 22 people who would love to return to eat at Zucca. Thanks team!

staff weren’t helpful and very blunt seemed like they didn’t care or put in any effort starter was served cold and a little frozen

Amazing pizza dinner. Our waitress Yen served us so good. There were lots of nice add ons for free like beer, bruschetta and passion fruit. Pizza was great!

As a rule I love eating at zucca whether the village or town centre, this is the 1st time I have had a delivery and I was so disappointed, food was over 30m past estimated delivery and was freezing cold, the pizza was greasy and soggy, the chips were tasteless and the cajun pasta (which I love) the sauce was congealed, powdery and gooey, the chicken was very dry and tasted processed, my 1st and last delivery experience, has me 2nd guessing if I will even go back to any of the restaurants

Ordered from Zuccas this afternoon for delivery this evening and it absolutely did not disappoint! Delivered on time and the delivery driver was lovely. Food was amazing and we’ve got enough for tomorrow. Great deal with the pizza/pasta, two sides and a pudding. We’ve not touched the pizza (we did add haggis Bon bons on) AMAZING that sauce is so creamy. The Cajun pasta. Hand cut chips and the cheesy garlic bread was so tasty! Pizza for breakfast and will definitely be ordering again, can’t wait to dine in the restaurant.. first time zuccas customer and won’t be my last! Can’t wait to try the cheesecakes we absolutely didn’t need. ✌️

Had a takeaway meal on Wednesday and ended up with food poisoning. Now in the hands of local Environmental Health Department.

For a small town restaurant, the quality of the food here is surprisingly good. The range of small plates wouldn't look out of place in one of the upmarket hipster places in Finneston, and on this occasion at least, lived up to that taste-wise. Definitely try the rosemary focaccia - pizza base style, but with the lightest, fluffiest crust I think I've ever had. Ragu could have been a fraction richer, but that's just personal taste. Good service even although they were clearly under pressure.

We had the pizza and pasta combo which was very tasty, it's rare to find genuine stone baked Italian pizza from my experience, this was great. Staff were very friendly and professional, well worth a try. Staff commented that during lockdown they had a big push for delivering high-quality pizza, I hope to try this soon.

Visited Zucca's for a late lunch/early dinner with a friend. Booked a table online and requested a booth which we got, even though it was just the two of us. The Set menu is everything you need, stripping it back to the basics. Offering simple delicious food. Pictures - Polpette (meatballs) & Risotto. The staff were attentive and nothing was an issue for them. They allowed us to enjoy our drinks even though our meal was finished and we didn't feel rushed out the door. Excellent service and delicious food. Would definitely be returning soon and recommend to everyone to try it!

Beautiful meal, lobster ravioli - prawns were honestly so lovely! Highly recommend! Service excellent, well presented and delicious - if you want a lovely meal and fab service zucca is the place to go

We were in before lockdown while visiting my sister, they love it, and I can see why. Great service, lovely food and cosy surroundings. We’ll definitely be back over the next few months.

Despite the Covid-19 global pandemic the team at Zucca are delivering top quality restaurant food at take away prices! Tonight was our 3rd Zucca take away since the lockdown started, each one has been ordered and delivered via the JustEat app, either on time or slightly early AND piping hot. Yes, it’s a reduced menu but be in no doubt this is top quality food and plenty of it, you never ever “leave” Zucca hungry! A big thanks to Yacine, Marcus, Gary, David, not forgetting Stevie and his team in the kitchen for thinking outside the box in these exceptionally difficult times. Helen and I look forward to being back with you when the lockdown permits.Well done & best wishes Barclay & Helen

My wife and I visited zucca as we had vouchers from our family, we visit most restaurants in village in EK but hadn't been to zucca in a long time as we didn't really enjoy our last visit. We both had starters my wife's was good but my mussels were lukewarm and some hadn't even opened, not a great start , maincourses were ok my pasta dish was not as spicy as I hoped it would be but ok ,my wifes pizza was good though. The service was slow we waited 25 minutes for our main course dishes to be taken away and only after my wife had asked them to do so , as we had waited that long we had decided against a dessert but weren't offered dessert menu anyway ,we also overheard waitress talking about other diners as we were seated near where the food is brought out, not very professional, same as our last visit we left disappointed and will not be back as there are so many great places to eat in village with great food and service,

As always...just love it ! Never ever disapoints . cosy, warm great atmosphere. Find is extremely good . had veal and asparagus was lovely on the pre-theatre menu.

Lovely restaurant!Had a great meal with my wife last week.Carbonara was cooked perfectly as was the calzone pizza, I’ve ordered a calzone in quite a few places and it seems to be very hit & miss I’m glad to say this one was right on target

Got to be the best Italian restaurant I have been to in Scotland and I have been to a few with it being my wife and I's cuisine. The customer experience is always first class and done with a smile. The food always sets the same excellent standards and says a lot that every time we visit the food is always so tasty and fresh no matter what we order. I have been to many Italian's in Glasgow and none have come close to Zucca's with regards to quality of food and outstanding customer service. A special mention to Lucy on the day who did everything with a smile and nothing was ever too much trouble. Between Lucy and Megan it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere with great service. Keep up the amazing work and see you very soon! Bravissimo!

We went for the two course lunch time menu and had half pizza and pasta option. Good choice and good value. Service fast and would recommend.

Every time we eat here we always leave feeling happy ! Great staff and very attentive. Alway look forward to eating here!!

I called ahead to inquire about bringing a special bottle of champagne to celebrate after my sister in law and her husband’s daughter’s wedding and was told they Don’t Allow Corkage due to licensing laws. However other restaurants in the area permit bringing in a bottle and charge corkage. We love this place and the food and service is always great, but just wanted to call out the manager on his somewhat sketchy response, made worse by them not having the first two wine choices available when we came in and ordered dinner and drinks. Not the end of the world and just wanted to share the issue. Dinner and service was great as usual, hence the good rating.

Real good restaurant. Attention to detail on food second to none. Friendly staff. I could see myself eating here every week.

Went here for work night and food was lovely staff were great and prices were reasonable all round good place to go.

Food was very good Waitress that looked after us was first class sorry did not get her name Only down point was the draft from the front door Otherwise I would have given them 5

Visited for my first time, staff were very attentive and food was excellent

Great welcome from the staff when you first enter the restaurant, the food is fantastic every meal for 8 of us hit the spot with a varied wine selection. I would thoroughly recommend the risotto with scallops which is delicious one of the best meals I have tasted

Always a great meal with fantastic service . Plenty to choose from and a choice of menus. Nice and handy for pre theater.

Been here a few times now, never disappoints, but tonight? BEST meal yet and to be honest, one of the best meals I have had out this year (and it is now December) - from the special 'Festive' menu, which, by the way is incredible value, the Arancini were awesome, full of flavour, but my main was superb! A perfectly cooked sea bass fillet, served on a fantastic base of diced roast potatoes, spinach, and cherry tomatoes with a pesto dressing, the seasoning was immaculate, compliments to the chef on that one, the base PUNCHED flavour which despite the strength in NO WAY overpowered the delicacy of the sea bass. Pudding (Christmas) was deelish too, a small but adequate portion with lovely brandy sauce, the sweetness cut through by a lovely garnish of tart, fresh redcurrants! I made a point of going and speaking to one of the chefs, I was so impressed. My friends all raved about their food too, the chicken stroganoff went down very well!

I tend to visit this place most weeks and have never been disappointed with the food or service. The staff cannot do enough for you, they make you feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door until you leave and check throughout if everything is ok or if you need anything else. Then I come onto the food which is just as good as the service. I have tried nearly every dish on the menu over the past few months which have all been excellent. The food is fresh, tasty and always hot and very well presented. The mussels, calamari, soup of the day, seafood pizza, duck, veal, and lasagne are a few of my favourite dishes but I don’t think you will be disappointed with anything on the menu. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

We have friends staying with us this weekend So, booked a table for 4 at Zucca. As ever, the service was friendly, prompt and courteous. The food was delicious, the wine was spot on and its only a short walk home. Zuccahas never let me down.

Always consistent service in here with decent selection. You know what you’re getting which is good. Can feel a bit cramped but it’s still a favourite with us.

We were meeting with friends for a catch up, and while we arrived on time for our booking, the other four were 25 minutes late after visiting a pub along the road. Not to worry. We were shown to the table and were looked after just fine. We were given a plate of nibbles to keep us going till the others arrived along with a drink and jug of lemon water.

We booked a family dinner for my son's special birthday.

Eaten here before never had a problem however we ate here Friday night and I ordered lasagna it was like rubber and burnt sitting in what looked like a bowl of tomatoes and cheese sauce yum sent it back asked for a salad it came 15 mins later but it wasn’t fresh and was covered in some sort of glaze I asked for red wine vinegar and olive oil to dress it but they made up a concoction of vinegarette

Food is pretty decent just a shame that the service given by the staff doesn’t match. On a previous visit had complained about service and on this visit caught a member of staff pointing us out and joking about it. Won’t be back.

Excellent food, wine and service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

We ate from the early dinner menu, three courses for £16.95. This was fantastic value. There is plenty choice and all six dishes we had were cooked very well with good size portions.

This is a great restaurant, always busy, always great food. I usually go for the Cajun chicken pasta which is amazing as are their pizzas. Never had a bad meal here

The staff are always friendly and the food is of a very high standard and never disappointing.They are a well run establishment with a selection of Italian staples, like pizza and pasta, through to meat and fish dishes and a good variety of wines.

This is a small place but the best italian food I have ever had . Its reasonably priced and great staff. But you have to book in advance

This was my first visit but won't be my last. The atmosphere is perfect, food is delicious with a great menu to choose from and the staff were very friendly too, nothing was too much. Would definitely recommend and look forward to my next visit

1st time visiting whilst in East Kilbride . Food was really nice, they have a very good choice on the menu. Service was quick also Would go back if in the area!

Went to Zucca for a friend's birthday and we really enjoyed it. It was a really nice place to sit in, it has a nice relaxing atmosphere even though when you looked around it was very busy. They food was fab too and great value. It's one to keep in mind for an occasion.

We went sat 10th August 2019 , starters were all lovely , service for drinks was slow , various folk got steaks which was pale looking, 1/2 pizza pasta , pizza was soggy and pasta is deff not as good as town centre was bland and nothing like other restaurant you would think they share same recipes, , two folk got the veal and highly praised it , we asked for more drinks 20 min prior to our table departure to be told they needed table Bk in at 5 which was 17 min prior to our drink order of 3 beers and 1 wine , can honestly say I normally love zucca but tbh I want be rushing Bk for a while , the advantage to zucca to other restaurants is there cocktail list , but I would deff rather eat in number 38 higher quality food , disappointing zucca and I am a huge fan .

I have been going to Zucca for years, such a great place to eat! Gorgeous food, great service. Thoroughly recommend Zucca pizza and pasta both are excellent!

Food is delicious, well priced and good portion size, friendly staff and nice surroundings. Wine is delish too 😊

Visited with friends for lunch. Great menu and the food is to a high standard. Everyone ate everything. Staff friendly. Toilet could be upgraded but apart from this lovely place to eat in East Kilbride.

My husband and I have visited Zucca a number of times. In particular, we both absolutely love their half pizza/half pasta dish - so tasty, I highly recommend.

Have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and never had a bad meal , the service was excellent too.

First the good, the service, friendliness of staff, range on the menu. Not so good, no gluten free menu, “we can make any dish gluten free” never inspires confidence and having a reaction later confirmed my doubts. Also served mussels where nearly half of them hadn’t opened. The chef apologises I was told......that’s alright then.

We were in East Kilbride and booked last minute. We had courses from the specials board and the food was tasty and plentiful. The service was efficient and friendly and the bill was reasonable. We look forward to returning soon.

Been to this restaurant before. My sister and I don't live here, but visit family and always try to eat here. Although a bit on the pricy side, worth it for the quality and standard of service provided. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection, meal for 2 with wine came to just over £70.00. Could not find fault with anything. Delightful.

Visited in May large table of us.

Still to have a nice meal in here and on time. Feel rushed to get out at times so the table can be used by the next customer.

We visited Zucca last night (Sat 22/6/19), after a long lay off.

Lovely restaurant. Wine and food Great! Had pre theatre menu. Nice wine list and lovely cheesecake! Staff nice and friendly.

I took my teenage boys for pizza and pasta and this was our first visit. The boys really enjoyed their pizza and the carbonara was tasty. My scallop and pea puree risotto was almost inedible though - it was a little like licking a salt pot! Tiramisu was great, but choice of dessert was very limited.

Went here last night with group of 5 was told if I booked a few days in advance which I did the chef would offer more vegan options than the few they gave on the menu not the case. When I booked I told them there were 2 vegans. When we were seated they had no note of this so waitress had to ask chef what they could offer us other than the limited choice on menu,came back to just say the limited choice back over again. How difficult is it for a trained chef to come up with some vegan ideas when you are giving them notice. It's not hard, I could have gone into the kitchen and rustled up something myself better than what was on offer. Considering how popular veganism is becoming you would think they would make more of an effort.

From the minute we arrived the staff were terrific, felt as if they went out their way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The food is fresh and first class with a good range across the menu. The best restaurant in East Kilbride

Good choice of dishes and the veal I had was lovely with a great sauce. I had asked initially for the dish to be served without the mushroom and onion and it came with them but it was no trouble for them to correct this. Service could be a little slow as it was very busy but overall it was enjoyable

I went there on Sunday lunch with my friends, I have to say this is the worst service I had ever , first thing I have to say is the tea cup was really dirty, and I was waiting for 10 min to get someone to change the cup for me, and they forgot give me sugar as well, so another 10min for the sugar, so when the waiter bring the sugar my tea is already cold anyway.and I saw the manager was so relax enjoy he is cup of coffee at the bar . Just nobody can see my table at all,and that was benning when they just open , I had to say they wasn’t busy at all.

I normally give a good review but today wasn’t the best service. Wasn’t the busiest I’ve seen it and we were forgotten about a few times. We were only asked on arrival to order a drink and not again after that. When plates were taken away we asked for a cappuccino which never came. When we managed to get the waiters attention to question this we were told oh I forgot as I got talking to another customer. Not a good excuse!! We had also asked for a doggy bag as there was a lot of food left but didn’t get this either. I’d say this is out of the ordinary but shouldn’t let the standards slip!!

Visited with 8 friends on Wednesday evening. The service was warm and efficient. We opted for the 2 course pre theatre and found this to be great value for money. I had the pasta/pizza combo for dinner and would thoroughly recommend it. Huge portion sizes. Would definitely come back he next time I am in East Kilbride.

I visited Zucca today with my friend - food was very reasonably priced and great quality but unfortunately there was a let down and this was the lady who was looking after us. My friend and I both found her to have a bad attitude towards us and it really did make us feel uncomfortable which is a shame and wasted the experience. We will be back solely for the fantastic food but this was a massive let down.

We seem to have alot of our birthday celebrations in Zucca's. Just love the ambiance of the place. Had my usual musells and spicy pizza washed down with a Peroni.

Been here a few times during nights away with business and always great service and great food. Great if dining solo as fast and friendly service

Only been here once before and this time it was for my mums birthday with the family ?

We visited the zucca in Ek town centre we had lasagne Cajun chips pasta prawns pizza the food was amazing well done to the chefs staff realy attentive will be back again

Party of 9 for a birthday. Good quality food with excellent service. Food arrived on time. Catered well for a large party.

When shopping in East Kilbride we always eat here . Staff friendly and helpful . Food excellent . You don't get rushed. Comfy seats .. We took the half n half . So filling . We would definitely recommend this place to family and friends . We will definitely be back . Thank you

My wife and I visited Zucca on 15th Feb for the first time for dinner. We both had two courses and the food was delicious. I had the calamari for starter and she had the liver pate. The main courses were Cajun chicken pizza for me and she had the pesto pasta dish.

Nice place and good quality food. Staff knowledgeable about menu and wine/drinks. Will be back, I'd recommend that you book for evenings.

Booked for an early dinner, just as well we did as those who hadn't booked didn't get a look in.

Booked a meal here as it’s local and we wanted a quite night, as we usually go into the city center to eat. First impression was fine.. very busy, which is always a good sign.

Met up with friends for dinner. The set menu had a really good selection of starters, mains and sweets. The food was first class, and none of us had anything but praise for our meals. The price is reasonable and the staff were very nice. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely day shopping and we popped in and had a lovely snack with soft drinks. Serves was very good on a busy day. There was a good choice on the menu.

This is mainly an Italian style restaurant serving pasta and pizza, but it does other main course dishes such as chicken and fish in different sauces.

The food in here is amazing and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant us comfortable and clean and staff great but I personally prefer the other outlet at ek shopping centre but that is not to take away from this restaurant it us great. Well worth a visit.

Being away from home for work, last week I made the mistake of disregarding my taxi driver’s suggestion that I try Zucca. Tonight I decided to give them a go. I had pomodora bruschetta to start which was clearly made with the freshest ingredients with a generous portion size, washed down with a very decent non merlot red that I last enjoyed in Italy. This was followed by pasta with mussels and prawns, topped with crispy fried sea bass in a creamy tomato sauce...absolutely amazing (Good portion size, pasta al dente, mussels that melt in the mouth and prawns that tasted so very fresh, with sea bass cooked to perfection) and I asked for chilli and courgette to be added, for which there was no charge. This was, by far, the best meal out I’ve enjoyed for a long time! It’s made my stay away from home a tad more pleasant than normal and I will mosey definitely return when I’m working back up this neck of the woods...a definite yes from me - they get very busy so poss best to book if you’re wanting to give here a go. The staff were very busy due to family party coming in to celebrate a birthday, but I kind of enjoyed being left to enjoy my dinner with minimal interruption, and the second I needed them they were there!

Had lunch recently with 3 friends. I had the riceballs and the cajun chicken pasta. Hugh portion which I couldn't finish!

Brilliant as always, food is excellent - never disappoints! Staff all friendly and helpful! I had chicken enzo pasta and I added chilli flakes. Went for the pre- theatre Christmas set menu at £16.95 for two courses.

Friendly and welcoming staff. We were also celebrating a birthday and staff were happy to bring out our cake and sing along. I had the mussels (large starter portion) followed by the Pollo Genovese which was super! Very attentive staff and lovely atmosphere.

Horrendous experience. Our party had eaten from the over priced and average tasting a la carte and pre theatre menus at which point we ordered a round of drinks, before we got the drinks we were told we had to leave immediately as the table was booked for another dinner party. At no point in the night had we been given notice of a time to leave. If they had told us before we ate or even told us 30 minutes before we had to leave we would have understood. The manager had a poor attitude and was argumentative. He did not seem to care that my young children would have to wait in the cold and rain for a taxi. I have never experienced treatment like this before. They even tried to charge us for the drinks we ordered but never received!! This restaurant has all the values of a second rate fast food outlet. Will not be back and would not recommended to anyone. Get yourself a jar of dolmio and some pasta from the supermarket it will be the same. The slices of veal were so thin you could only taste the breadcrumb coating.

We booked a table here before we attended a function near by. The service was on point and the food was amazing I had the specials (starter and main) and my wife ate from the A la Carte. We will definitely be returning.

Went here for a nice meal and a few drinks with the Wife. The staff are very attentive and are always a step ahead will Defo be returning soon.

very poor customer service. The main meals were not good and when I said to the waiter nothing was done about it and especially the manager girl was very rude and a lot of the other staff were rude as well. overall a terrible night and would never recommend to anyone !

Had a lovely meal, food was lovely. Customer service is also always amazing. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food and service. The family opted for Italian favourites like, lasagne Mac cheese etc but I went for the fish dish which was excellent, every mouthful was a delight. I normally have spaghetti meatballs which I also highly recommend.

Went last night for dinner with my best friend. The food was amazing, half pizza half pasta. Drinks were lovely and so were the waiting staff. Definitely will be back!

Visited with a friend for dinner using the early evening set menu. Wide choice available. Well presented, tasty food, Fast and efficient service. Friendly staff. Allowed to sit at table whilst waiting on friend because I arrived early.

We popped in here as it’s local and had a lovely lunch. The mussels in cider sauce were a huge hit. It comes with garlic bread. Then we had steak and hand cut chips. This comes with a separate serving of pepper sauce which I liked as I hate food smothered in sauce. The chips are amazing and the steak was delicious. Then ice cream. That was delicious too. It’s a set price of £15.50 for three courses with a supplement of £6.95 for choosing steak. Still worth it though.

excellent food ..menu is amazing there's something for everyone's pallet..cooked fresh u can actually smell the Italian herbs from the kitchen which I do like ..furnished really well and staff always there to recommend meals ..

Having eating in zucca at shopping centre and thoroughly enjoyed it decided to book restaurant in village due to attending theatre. Was dissapointed in the service and ended up had no time for dessert which was included in menu. Asked if we could take it with us again this took so long we had to leave or would have missed start of show. Appreciate it was busy but not Upto par on the night
