The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West Scotland

Best takeaway in Ayr. The stonebaked pizzas are absolutely delicious, as is the pasta. And the chip suppers are excellent. Fast and HOT delivery, can’t beat it.

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.

Fantastic, what a great meal, great menu, fab staff good prices, We will be returning very soon as its not far from us at all!

Didn’t actually get there. Turns out the restaurant is closed at the moment but the scunners took my online booking. Not impressed, so even if they open again I shan’t be going there!

The gluten-free pizza that these guys do is phenomenal! It's delicious, and honestly, I'll never order pizza from anywhere else because nothing can top it!! I highly recommend! (You can find them on just eat too!)

Visited for lunch met by a very friendly member of staff who showed us to our pre booked table had read a few reviews that were not too complimentary so was unsure what we would find no need great service and food was lovely the four of us shared a platter for a starter and it was more than enough main meals were all enjoyed too full for desserts finished with coffees will.certainly return

The bistro is in the shopping center on the first floor. Were here for breakfast. Condition totally friendly. The food came super quickly. We really enjoyed it. Prices rather cheap. Clear recommendation.

A gem! Penne con Salsiccia, simple, fresh and brilliantly executed.

First time ordering here. Haggis arancini with whisky sauce starter was so delicious, penne pollo Alfredo lovely and light and lasagna was so tasty. Will definitely be ordering from here again 😊

Pleasantly surprised by dine in option ,quick efficient service by Jay

Superb. We were a walk-in table of 3 on an already busy night. Greeted and treated very well throughout. Very attentive and genuine staff. The food was very tasty and well presented, the 'fish soup' being the 'food envy' moment. Dessert topped off with sorbet and according to him indoors, 'one of the best tiramas's' he's tasted. Highly recommended - we will be back.

Food is ok - standard Delivery service - terrible. We live around the corner it took a lifetime. Delivered everywhere and us last Staff are unpleasant and immature

Pizza toppings had slid off pizza and smudged into corner of box implying box had been flipped over upon delivery. Did not effect quality or taste of food and we enjoyed it. Delivery time very fast. Charging a service charge and a delivery charge is a bit strange. Will sit in restaurant next time so food is less shaken if i need to tip anyway lol

We ate here on our second evening in Ayr following a recommendation by the owner of the guest house where we were staying. Seating is very comfortable and the restaurant is quite spacious. There’s a full menu of primarily Italian dishes with a good selection of pasta dishes and pizzas. The lasagne and pasta carbonara were very tasty along with a risotto dish. Service was very good…friendly and professional and despite being busy, staff were very observant. There’s a very large bar serving a particular good selection of cocktails. We thought prices were about average for the area and we enjoyed the experience of eating here.

Although busy, we got shown to a table very quickly. There was a mouth-watering display of cakes available, however the scones we opted for were by far the best we’ve tasted in a long time. I’d a superb pot of tea, and thanks to the skill of the dedicated barista, my husband enjoyed a fabulous flat white. A row of dedicated tip bowls ensured that our lovely server, Susan, was acknowledged for offering us the wonderful option of having our scones toasted; delicious! A nice old-fashioned end to our Largs visit.
