The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East Scotland

This restaurant/hotel was closed for a while and this was our first chance to visit since it reopened. The service was excellent as was the food. Good restaurants seem to be few and far between nowadays. All we get are national brands, so its good to see an independent offering a great night out.

What brilliant folks in here, can't thank them enough. Baled me out big time when I suffered a Pizza Dough catastrophe. Gave then a shout on the off chance and they sorted me out with a massive bag of the best Pizza dough. It rose like a dream and tasted ace. And by the way, I have also eaten here and the food is always spot on, but this was a bit 'above and beyond'. Fantastic team, thanks so much!!

Stayed in hotel from Saturday 27th till Tuesday 30th. Rooms were very clean and bed was excellent. All staff were very pleasant and well mannered,and went over and above to make the stay very pleasurable. Food in restaurant was excellent and even cooked a dish not on menu for me to try.

Nicely located near my hotel.the food was excellent and the service was very nicely done.Well worth a visit.

If you want some time to relax for talking with friends I will recommend this place! It is very nice! The music is wonderfully selected and the coffee it's so tasty! You should try !

Lovely wee spot, food was enjoyed very much but the portions were so small we couldn't believe our eyes..we thought prices were reasonable until we realised there was barely any food in the plates..we also ordered quite a lot of wine thinking we'd be able to match it with the amount of food and it was a bit disappointing. Must admit we left the restaurant and went to get a burger to fill up our bellies! I still recommend this place as the food was really tasty, service was great and the staff very friendly!

Really tasty starters and pasta. Cool setting too

Absolutely incredible ice cream. I tried many flavours over a few days. The coffee crunch and bounty ice creams were my favourite but they were all amazing. I don’t know how I am going to cope not being able to eat this everyday anymore now that I’ve left Fraserburgh.

Disappointing works Christmas meal last night, focaccia was basically pizza base with rosemary and salt, soggy lasagne main had no garnish or sides , veggie pizza was bland, plus compulsory 15% service charge for a large group. Lazy, soulless cooking.

Not really sure if I'm missing something here but recent reviews are raving about this "little gem" "fresh family pasta" and we just didn't get it. Sadly sat between an 8 and 4 top which both ordered slightly before us, push our 2 top of starters out first was my thinking..... nope we sat and watched the 8 top get starters and the 4 top get starters and mains!! Thankfully we got moved as our starters arrived (40 mins after sitting down), away from the middle of the two tables. Mediocre brushetta and seafood salad.l, something that I could do at home tbh. An hour and 15 after sitting we get two plates, not bowls, of penne pasta clearly not freshly made, with a trickling of wet sauce that barely coated the pasta. Maybe we got them on a bad night but for me it's a no return. Staff licking fingers behind the deli, chefs serving food with hand towels, door open IN OCTOBER and just no real atmosphere or attention to guests or food for that matter. £43 for 2 starters 2 mains, 1 beer 1 juice and 1 pudding, really good price but for sure it's not value for money if you know what I mean. Defo had a snack when we got home as portions are small.

Bland expensive food, took forever to deliver the check when asked.

In for lunch on a random Wednesday. Service fast and friendly, and food was superb. The LUNETTE BURRO E SALVIA was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a very long time. I had something similar in an Italian Restaurant in Dakar (of all places) and I’ve been chasing that high ever since. Now I know I can get something just as good local, I’ll be back for sure 😁

This is a gorgeous restaurant with a rustic Italian feel. The tables are nicely spaced apart and the decor is lovely. The food was amazing, my wife had the ‘best lasagna of her life’ and the skewer with various meats was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend it. I’ve taken off a mark for the owner berating the staff for ‘too much cutter chatter’ infront of customers. There was no need, the young inexperienced staff were lovey and friendly and the girl with the red hair was running the show wonderfully.

Fantastic restaurant great food good choice menue the staff are friendly and professional loverly house red to wash down a beautiful meal

This was my first visit here, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
