The best restaurants serving Italian food in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

What a wonderful venue, warm and cozy, excellent decor. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was first class, plenty of it and was hot. I would say that the venue is very reasonably priced. If I’m ever back in that area, I’ll book a table in advance and return to this wonderful Bistro. Thank you.

We ordered 2 takeaway pizzas while staying on Iona and they were soooo good!! I actually can't write this without wanting another one (shame I'm back home). I would definitely recommend Ailidh's if you're staying on Iona and don't want to cook - why would you, with this on your doorstep?! I was going to take a photo of the pizza but I was too preoccupied eating it 🤣

Absolutely incredible pizza would 100% recommend worth a visit. Really unexpected from just a wee small unsuspecting place.

My wife and I, with our small dog visited during a lunch time break in Bowmore. A great welcome by lovely staff, nice cocktail, followed by one of the nicest pizza and pasta combinations that we have ever had. The staff are particularly welcoming, and were lovely to our little dog. We thoroughly recommend and we will use again when in the area. Thank you. A++++

We celebrated my wife's birthday here, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious - the steak was the best I've had in ages. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the cocktails were excellent. We’d happily return and might even consider staying at the hotel next time!

I and my colleagues were appalled by some of the most abusive behaviour I have ever witnessed upon entering an establishment. We waited for a table in what must have been the wrong place to wait (?). My friends were subsequently subjected to a barrage of unintelligible but clearly hostile bluster from an apparently aggravated host, who ushered us over to a counter to ostensibly assist us. We had done and said nothing! It felt only appropriate to leave the establishment immediately, upon which one of the chefs threw us a profane finger gesture. Baffling and shocking. Do not visit here.

Excellent food and good value and friendly helpful staff

They didn’t give me Dr Pepper like I ordered

Absolutely delicious Pizza. The three of us all reckon it was the best pizza we'd ever had, even the gluten and tomato free one! Staff friendly and very efficient. Good luck with the refurb, although we couldn't really see anything that needed improving ? Thanks for a great meal.

Good food, great convenient location and very friendly staff.

Myself and 3 friends enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch 😋 the staff were very attentive and Gary kindly gave us some mulled wine and mince pies later to enjoy ……definitely will go back to Riva

We enjoyed a lovely meal and drinks on a busy Saturday evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, taking orders and delivering food and drinks in a timely manner. We shared a pizza, veggie lasagne and a mushroom starter - all of which were excellent. The atmosphere was vibrant and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Lovely community cafe. A good range on the menu, staff are lovely and the cafe and toilets are clean and well maintained. The views out over the water are beautiful and we had our lunch by the window Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here and the kids enjoyed the park next door. Hope we didn’t disturb your burns lunch.

Food was dressed up to be something it's really not. Greasy spoon at heart. Good service and it was cheap enough. So not all bad.

cured my constipation took microwave in toilet too save time can't cook won't eat no clue pink chicken undercooked mince and disgrace of a bolognese wouldn't recommend to my worse enemy
