The best restaurants serving Italian food in Midstocket / Rosemount Aberdeen City North East Scotland

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.

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

It was late by over an hour but it tasted nice

I recently had the misfortune of dining experience here, and it was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The food portions were shockingly small, and the taste was subpar. To add insult to injury, the restaurant's "2 courses for £24" offer was misleading. The staff failed to communicate the exceptions and conditions attached to the deal, leading to confusion and an unexpected total bill of £30. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this to anyone. The combination of poor food quality, inadequate portion sizes, and deceptive marketing practices makes it a place to avoid. *Rating:* 1/5 stars
