The best restaurants serving Italian food in Scotland

Tasty sandwiches, pizzas and calzones - the ingredients taste fresh and the basil pesto is lovely. Cannoli are also good and worth a try here. Only downside is that they are takeaway only since the shop is small.

Had a lovely meal here last night. The food was really good and the staff were very helpful and happy. Will be back again soon.

I’ve been visiting the Junction Cafe since 2015. I’d booked a table for a light lunch with my wife (recommended to avoid any wait/disappointment). Super warm welcome from Joe and David. Food and coffee was excellent 👍 … A shout out to Ivan in the kitchen. A selection of takeaway cakes for afternoon coffee with friends, who all commented on how super yummy 😋 they were…👍

Visited here Monday 23rd of September 2024. 6 of us had a brilliant meal and the staff are to be commended. Best pizza in a while. Hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back

Incredible quality of ice cream, friendly, great Italian vibe. The staff were really nice to us, they have so many unique ice cream flavours, I tried Christmas pudding and Apple and cinnamon crumble. The coffee was also good and they sell some really nice products from Italy. Will definitely be back!

Staff very friendly. Allowed us to takeaway an order close to closing time. Spaghetti bolognaise was the best I have had in a while.

Lovely little family run Italian restaurant. Great food. Friendly service. Good value for money. Bring a bottle of wine 🍷 and enjoy a lovely evening.

We came on a Saturday evening and booked ahead. Out table was not ready when we arrived and the waitresses seemed uninterested. Before we eventually caught a waitresses eye to let her know we had arrived she shrugged and said ' I dunno' and then proceeded to ask another waitress who went ' oh yeah' and told us to follow her to table. She just plonked two menus down onto a table with two places set for us and carried on walking to the kitchen. No engagement, nothing!! It went from bad to worse service wise I'm afraid. It seemed like the two waitresses who were on duty were a little bit overwhelmed and maybe having a tough shift ... But still! We waited an hour and 15 minutes for our mains, however, we were deep in conversation and enjoying each others company so didn't mind that too much l. I prefer to wait rather than food before rushed out. The food was lovely, freshly cooked and tasty. No complaints with the food - just the service, which left a lot to be desired. I hope you can rectify this, as this is the only thing in my opinion that lets the place down, as the other businesses in this area have shown us exceptional customer service during our stay in Arbroath.

Fantastic find - so welcoming to my young children - excellent waiter and delicious food at a great price. The gnocchi was particularly good and the children’s menu is great value.

We had a beautiful two course meal and drinks. Food was delicious and service friendly and quick. We would highly recommend!

We found this Cafe using Trip Advisor on our way to Girvan. Just 5 minute detour from the main road, was worth it. No parking by the premises, so parked just around the corner. 2 minutes walk. Cafe was welcoming, light and lively. Coffee for myself and Wife, and my daughter had smashing mango smoothie. Our waitress was nice and friendly. Recommended for a quick stop from Coffee or a snack.

This is a lovely restaurant nice staff but food is a big let down would not return came home and ordered a pizza

Lovely little cafe. Just what's needed after a walk in the hills. Bacon rolls and a cuppa - perfect. Food was very tasty and the staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

First time visiting this beautiful family run Italian Restaurant in Stockbridge. Absolutely faultless from start to finish, lovely atmosphere inside with a few tables outside as well. Party of 9 who all struggled, but managed to just about finish the very generous portions. I highly recommend the Tagliatelle Papalina, the finest plate of pasta i have had for a long time. Service was exemplary and we will definitely be back soon.

Food always very fresh and well presented. Staff courteous and patient with customers. Particularly like the ring doughnuts which are not too sweet (compared to most supermarket offerings). Prices very reasonable too. Always visit this shop when in city.
