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 italian restaurant is just off the high street and upstairs. We received a warm welcome and were quickly seated, the menu is quite comprehensive with lots of choice. The food was excellent, well cooked, well presented and good portions size. The staff were really nice, friendly and professional. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. If you are in the area I would heartily recommend a visit to this restaurant for its quality food, friendly relaxed atmosphere and great value for money.

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.

5/11/25 My friend found a good rating on Tripadvisor, so we decided to take the ride for lunch after attending church at the Dumfries Baptist Church. It's a lovely restaurant filled with many American memorabilia. The service was superb, especially our last server(can't recall his name), but he was very attentive and very friendly. He actually took the time to stop and chat. We both ordered the lamb dinner with Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, herbed sausage stuffing, and mixed fresh veggies. All was delicious. The only complaint was that the lamb was a bit dry and tough. Other than that everything was perfect! We topped the meal off with sharing a hot fudge sundae with crushed Reeses peanut butter cups! It was a great way to finish the meal and well worth the trip!

Food very delicious, service excellent, atmosphere great. All in all a great Italian meal in great surroundings. We will return

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.

Great place with really nice food and super attentive staff in their ex-Police station. Really enjoyed our meal.

Well 3 meals were perfect, wine lush service excellent but my meal was like it had a bowel of sugar in it don’t know if it was supposed to be sweet , meal in question was la dolce vita pollo , I didn’t complain because the other 3 people said there food was amazing

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👍

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

Un agradable café dentro de la excelente Galería de Arte que es The Lightbox. La selección del menú es un poco limitada, pero las pizzas y la pasta son excelentes y buena relación calidad-precio. Asientos bastante cómodos y un buen ambiente. En general, precios medios. El servicio es amigable y normalmente muy bueno, pero estirado cuando está muy ocupado... los clientes han sabido entonces ayudar con las mesas de compensación.
