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

We ate in the Pizzaioli Restaurant for the first time last night and will definitely be back. The food was delicious, very authentic Italian and good quality. The staff were very friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was inviting with a relaxed vibe, lovely lighting, soft back ground music and comfortable. Would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant which is owned by a local Italian family. We’re also keen to try their Pizzaioli take away further down the Sandgate sometime.

The ice cream cart has to be one of the best things we booked for our wedding! We thought 9 flavours was loads and would be easy to pick but we really struggled to narrow it down, they all sounded so incredible. On the day we certainly weren’t disappointed; the ice cream cart was so pretty and the gelato and sorbet were unreal! It went down a storm with all our guests (especially the kids) and was the perfect addition to our sunny wedding day. A little added bonus that we weren’t expecting was that we got to take home all the leftover gelato. We had weeks of different ice cream every night after dinner, it was amazing! Thank you so much for being the perfect addition to our day! The McNish’s

Just a walk in. Wed looked at a few places but nothing was grabbing our eye. Then clocked Vito's. Decor was really nice & as it turned out the food was excellent as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it & I'm pretty sure next time we're in Prestwick we'll be back

Great food and service and price was great a must try

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

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.

Ali the cook and jay our server were great

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.

The Ice Cream Factory is superb for both walk in Ice Cream and take away tubs. Excellent ice cream and great service. Good value for money too.

Cmon Nero .....what the heck !!!! Your coffee is fantastic but still you don't take the hint.....animals belong outside !!!!! Today sitting with my family having coffee in one of our favourite places.... everything suddenly again became tainted. What is it you don't understand.....dog people just don't care about anyone else. We were sitting enjoying our beautifully made coffee when in come a couple with 2 dogs straining at their leads. They immediately sat down behind us and actively sat their smelly dogs ***on the couch*** ..yes ON the couch. This is absolutely disgusting...I for one wouldn't like to sit on a couch where dogs have sat their 'unwiped' behinds on. The dogs even ate off the seat as the couple threw food to them on the seat.....what the fudge. DOGS NEED TO BE KEPT OUTSIDE.
