The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West Scotland

Having traveled a lot around Italy this was a real treat to have such beautiful, authentic Italian food in my old home town of Hamilton on a rainy Friday night. We had the 6 course pasta tasting menu which just got better with every course. Presentation and flavours could not be faulted. Extensive well priced wine menu. Would definitely go out of my way to visit again.

Raspberry and lemon curd frangipanes to absolutely die for. Amazing.

Pastas were very tasteless. He only fed him sauce. We asked for garlic bread but we received fried bread. The employees were friendly and helpful, but the food was mediocre

Venue is stunning. Super cute and cosy feel. Staff were nice, but I do feel they lacked enthusiasm and communication. We waited 20 minutes for our first 2 drinks (beer and a porn star martini) 40 minutes for our second 2 cocktails. We were given one drink free as we had waited so long. We had gone out with the intention of trying as many cocktails as we could but we felt like staff had actually forgotten about us. With only 4 tables, I find that hard to believe. When we were ordering food it all went pretty easy. The food took a respectable time to come out and it was actually pretty tasty! After our food was cleared the waitress asked if we wanted another beer over, i said yes but my friend was about to order and she walked away. We had been in the restaurant from 6-8pm had our meal and 6 drinks and generally felt a bit deflated after it. On a brighter note. When we did get the cocktails they were amazing, the place was clean and food was really nice. Just might get a takeaway instead next time.

This was our first time at this restaurant and l can honestly say this was the best meal we have had in ages, no long wait, food was piping hot, the staff were superb, even putting anniversary balloons up on our table, very reasonable pricing for a three course meal, lovely atmosphere, no issues l will be back soon, first class.

We stayed in Irvine for a night before catching the ferry to Arran and ate here. Lovely ambiance and the food and service were excellent. Set menu very good value. Highly recommended .

Absolutely gorgeous food with deserts to die for. All staff made us feel so welcome. To miss a meal here is a mistake you will always regret.

We have been tonight to celebrate our mums 50th birthday. There was nothing that was too much for Donna, she made us feel like old friends. The service and food was 10/10. Thank you, again xo

Best italian food in my life ❤️

Lovely dinner at Prego at the weekend. Food amazing as always and staff took great care of us so well. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

Arigo was our Go Go Local when we lived in EK. What a friendly atmosphere and really good food. Always listen to the specials. ☺️

Order for delivery, came quick, fresh and was absolutely amazing. So delicious!

Coffee was good although disappointed there is no full breakfast despite it being advertised online. Overall, very overpriced in general. If they bring back the full breakfast, I would maybe give this place another chance. The pancakes and syrup were great though. We got two cappacicounos, one roll sausage and egg and pancakes and it was £28. This is robbery.

Always a great place to go for a gluten free meal or snack , the staff are amazing and very knowledgeable about allergies , the bonus is being able to take the two dogs in with us , they even get given treats and plenty of water, what more could you ask for

Fish delivered it was so greasy and cold. Won't order again. Very expensive delivery. Dissapointed . Will not order again
