The best restaurants serving Italian food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

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 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

We were very disappointed last night. Been here lots over the years but last night the food was mediocre at best. The calamari looked good and was ok but it was quite rubbery. The chicken was dry and over cooked with a risotto that was just a pile of very salty plain mush. Couldn't comment on the flavour due to the salt. But no bite at all to the rice. We come here at least every year as we met here years ago and the food is normally exceptional. Maybe they have changed chef recently? Not sure we'll carry on this tradition now😞

I had read good reviews online about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the soup of the day (butternut and sweet potato) to start (delicious), baked hand made pasta tubes with the most delicious filling, topped with a creamy tomato sauce and for dessert a coconut panacotta with chocolate soil served with gooseberries and smooth vanilla ice cream! My husband had the baked handmade pizza dough, filled with cheese and topped with a tomato sauce followed by a venison and beef ragu with tagliatelle. He had coffee then envied my dessert but was too full to order one! This was the best restaurant meal we had on our break. The staff were lovely including Morag who owns the restaurant with Andre, her husband and chef.

Food is always excellent . Staff attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend

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

A really good authentic family Italian restaurant - we absolutely loved it! This restaurant had wonderful food, we had the clam spaghetti and calamari which was excellent and then all had a pizza, amazing! We also enjoyed a delicious bottle of chianti. Good atmosphere with local people and tourists to the area and the staff were very professional and friendly, excellent service! If we were ever back in Dumfries we’d definitely go back.

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👍

Food was delicious. Dietary requirements catered for.

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

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.
