The best restaurants serving Italian food in North Ayrshire South West Scotland

OMG - do not hesitate if you are reading reviews and looking for a delicious deli sandwich! We were passing through Largs and contemplating stopping at supermarket to pick up a sandwich when we decided to treat ourselves to something a little more 'upmarket'. The ciabatta with halloumi and sundried tomato and rocket and pesto was everything I dreamed of and more, so fresh and tasty. I wish I lived closer, I would love to try more of the menu based off my single experience. Everything in the deli looked fresh, was reasonably priced, and the staff were really accommodating and welcoming. Will 100% be back next time I'm in the area. Would love to sit in for something next time. 5 stars!

Staff here are so helpful and friendly. Went out of their way to accommodate us. I called several times about dietary issues. Each time they would recommend something and said that if that didn’t suit person they would make them something else that wasn’t on the menu. Can not recommend Adesso highly enough. Will definitely be back here 100%

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!

Don't mind delivery a wee bit late as long as still hot and the food was hot and very enjoyable, thanks 😊

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.

Quick visit on a busy Thursday night. Staff are good and decor is nice. Good menu and kids menu. Wide selection of drinks. Margherita pizza was simple and tasty. Pasta alla Puttenesca was very good but a measly portion, could have done with same amount of spaghetti again. Very expensive garlic bread with cheese: five thin slices of ciabatta priced and £5.50?! Very poor. Also both pizza and pasta were hot but served on very cold plates. Could be better with a few small touches. Pints of Peroni well pulled and good value.

came here for overnight dinner and breakfast the overall experience was amazing staff very helpful food amazing 3rd time back

Used many times and always raved about nonnas but tonight utterly dissapointed !! I think this one was cooked in the fires of hell 🔥 🔥 They did resolve quickly when we phoned and raised concern which is a positive but to send out in first place raises a question for me ???

This place is amazing for dates 5 stars I loved it so much and it’s quite fancy but not to much there food is so good I recommed

Very enjoyable meal. One member of staff was great the other could remember a simple goes a long way. Not quite the view over the harbour we expected but a good outlook all the same. The number of seat would suggest in good weather during summer it would be a very busy place. As it was when we were there it was quiet. The meal was good Italian at a reasonable price. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

We live locally and visit often but it was a very disappointing birthday lunch today..... I decided to try the Penne Toscana but when it arrived it was only lukewarm. The Waitress apologised & took it back to the kitchen. After a couple of minutes it returned (same chipped plate, same meal with a poor serving of mushrooms) slightly warmer but still not heated through. It was tasty so I just ate it rather than cause a fuss. When the Waiter cleared the plates I mentioned an off putting piece of what appeared to be gristly chicken or sausage that was also in the (vegetarian) meal, he apologised after prodding it with my knife, none the wiser to what it was, however it had further spoilt my enjoyment of what could’ve been a tasty dish. No second drinks were offered, we had to wait until we were ordering our desserts to have another drink. Only 1 drink then arrived, we had to ask again for the other which then was offered to 2 tables before we got it. Husband was disappointed with the tiramisu which he said had no coffee flavour to it. Overall a very disappointing visit from a food and service aspect. We understand that staff change frequently however today it was obvious that new / inexperienced staff, lovely as they were, would’ve benefitted from support from senior staff to ensure good service and to deal with problems that arose.

I have been here a few times over the past couple of years, the only reason for returning is that they do an okay panini and it’s very handy for before or after a walk on the beach. I have never dared to try anything else on the menu and by the looks of other reviews this was a wise idea. I can’t write a review without first mentioning the toilets which are like something from a horror movie. Soaking wet floor, only one cubicle with a working lock, filthy bin with broken lid, brown liquid in the hand dryers and a terrible smell. They have been like this for several years it seems, and you would think they would have done something about it by now seeing as it’s their number 1 complaint. The toilets should actually be closed until they are refurbished and refitted, definitely a health and safety hazard. Staff seem miserable and removed from their customers. Hardly any eye contact or willingness to engage. My mother and I shared a small bottle of sparkling water which came with two dirty tenants pint glasses, even the bottle of water was dirty. I suppose anyone working here would be miserable. It’s incredibly dated, the food is mediocre and the facilities are horrendous. There is something very off about the whole place and I think having visited a few times we’ll be giving it a pass until there are improvements made. It could be a much better place given its perfect location overlooking the Isle of Arran and the proximity to the beach. I suppose it needs a major cash injection, until then…avoid!

Got a meal from this place last week. I was up all night over the thirst over salted and really really greasy.. Heart attack on a plate

This place has just been rebranded with a new chef etc but as I never tried it before I cant comment on the difference. The food we ordered was nothing special and I've definitely had better pizzas. It was cold when we collected it, it wasnt worth the money and we won't be returning.
