The best restaurants serving Italian food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

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

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!

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!

Visited recently during the week and although really busy the food and service were outstanding. My partner is from Edinburgh and couldn’t believe how reasonable it was for the quality of food we were served. She can’t wait to go back. Fab u Lous

Absolutely lovely. Can never fault you guys. The quality of food is amazing and always really tasty. The service is top notch. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you. X

authentic Italian restaurant with lots of charm & traditional vibes. The early bird 2 course menu is excellent value for money at £13.50 pp with all the classic dishes on. We opted for the regular menu, i had the calamari fritters & sea bass with mushroom ravioli ( was lobster on menu but they had run out). The fish was cooked to perfection & the ravioli was amazing in the red pepper sauce. My partner had panzenolle ( probably spelt that wrong but it was pieces of pizza dough with a garlic mayo dip ) & steak diane. He said the steak was one of the best he had, very tender. The restaurant was full, which apparently it is mostly, good atmosphere & lots of attentive staff. very good👍

Small starter portions, I had Chicken Milanese for main and the chicken was nice but the sauce on the pasta was god dam awful. Tasted like tinned tomatoes and nothing else. Total waste of money, especially as I was told before hand the 2 for £16 menu was on and then told when I was there it was not so it was £16 for my main on its own. Staff seemed quite short tempered too. Don't think I will be visiting again.

Excellent as ever. Highly recommended place to eat in the lovely village of Moniaive. Great selection of Italian food from an extensive menu. All food is freshly cooked.

Visited here Monday 23rd of September 2024. 6 of us had a brilliant meal and the staff are to be commended. Best pizza in a while. Hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back
