The best restaurants serving Italian food in Lowlands

Wow I am scone snob! My mum bought me on on recent visit to Peebles and wow it didn't even need butter! A fruit scone with plenty sultanas. Lovely!

We chose the premium rosete menu for a special birthday and it was flawless - sous vide salmon and filet steak cooked to perfection! Every element was delicious down to the peas. Rob is friendly and professional, would highly recommend!

One of the absolutely best kebabs in Scotland. Long open, fast and with really LARGE portions. Much advised for any hungry travellers in Lockerbie.

The 1st place I always try to eat at in Dumfries. Great food and really friendly staff. Just a hit or miss if you can get parked out side

For a treat we ordered deserts from Sadie’s, they were delivered by the owner, what a lovely girl she is and WOW there deserts were delishious and we will certainly be ordering from them again

Restaurant was pretty full, but still managed to squeeze us in, amazing food and service, definitely will be back soon!

We've been here 3 times now. The food is amazing. Service is second to none, and it's just a great little restaurant. It's very popular with larger groups, but that never affects the service.

We eat at The Pheasant quite often, despite it being a 30 mins drive from home. Great homemade Italian food using local produce. Indulgent puddings. Pity it’s closed between November and March

This restaurant is an absolute gem! We visited there for dinner and the food was amazing! Huge portions and authentic American tastes! Though the food should be the star and it was we have to send special thanks to Cameron who went over and above the fantastic service we received. He actually took us back to our hotel in his own car as we couldn’t get a taxi. He offered straight away to take us to our hotel which was over and above anything I’ve ever received in a restaurant! In a nutshell if you want a fantastic meal with fantastic staff then do yourself a favour and visit The Hitchen Post you won’t be disappointed! Once again thanks to Cameron for a wonderful meal and a very much needed lift home!

Lovely welcoming atmosphere, good food and service.

I have had some good Italian food but the balsamic and small details in the food are great. The wine menu is okay but this is a little town and would it be worth it. Dessert was good too, personal choice would be sharper lemons on the cheesecake, but that is just me! Well done! Great food and you know your market.

No kids menu but they split the adult pizza for our boys to share. Pizzas and garlic bread were absolutely amazing, just perfect. Pasta great too. Tirimasu a little dry but other desserts lovely. Very friendly staff. Would go back.

Although we did not have a booking, the owners managed to accommodate us even though it was busy. People providing negative comments about this restaurant must be on a different planet! The food and service were faultless. The portions were generous and freshly prepared and cooked. The pesto pasta with pine nuts and garlic was fantastic, as was the Napoli. The homemade desserts were amazing - we had the tiramisu and the lemon tart. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in Moffat. Probably best to book!

A great Italian restaurant in the centre of town.

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch, in the cosy welcoming atmosphere at Francos, when it was wet and blowing a Gale outside! Great food and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
