Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The warm and welcoming staff consistently receive high praise from visitors, making every dining experience feel special. The cocktails are a standout, with a selection that complements the Italian classics. Diners rave about the engaging ambiance, combining trends with comfort, making it the go-to place for casual meals. The small patio area is perfect for those who enjoy dining al fresco, especially during warmer months. Portions are generous, ensuring that guests feel satisfied without breaking the bank, aligning perfectly with the £20–30 price range for an enjoyable meal. Feedback often highlights the delightful desserts, particularly the tiramisu and chocolate cake, as must-tries.

Most Disliked

Some visitors find the location slightly less appealing from an exterior standpoint, describing it as unassuming from the outside. Peak times, particularly on Saturdays, can lead to a bustling atmosphere that some may find overwhelming; it’s best to consider off-peak hours for a more leisurely experience. Several reviews note that reservations are essential, especially for dinner, to avoid disappointment during busy periods. A few diners expressed a desire for more menu variety, particularly in the pizza and pasta selections, although the existing offerings still receive positive feedback. Additionally, while service is generally fantastic, a couple of reviews mentioned occasional delays during peak hours.

After reading the reviews, I had to go see for myself. Spent my birthday afternoon having lunch here and it was a lovely experience. Ambience was just perfect, my reserved space was the best 🤭. The stafff were professional but very nice. We had pasta ( I don’t remember the names 😂) which I enjoyed and cocktails and ofcos ice cream and chocolate cakes for dessert. 🍨. Would definitely recommend.

WOW. I haven’t been here since before COVID and it’s just as good as it was before. Mum and I popped along for the lunch menu today and the service was fantastic. The boys are so friendly and polite! The food is unbelievable and such a good price for a lunch menu too. Can’t wait to come back to try the cocktails!

Came here in October and the waiter recommended a pasta as I couldn't decide. Best pasta I've ever had. Came back today and they squeezed us in without a booking, despite the poacw being packed. Another amazing meal

Had dinner here during the week and it was fantastic. The pizza was so fresh and tasty. The prawn cocktail was the best I've had in years. The staff are extremely helpful if you have food allergies. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff who made this evening more than just a dinner it was a experience.😎👍

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I’ve visited around Paisley. It doesn’t look like much from outside but it’s laid out beautifully inside, great decor and atmosphere. Now the food; everything exceeded my expectations, more than decent portions, complemented with excellent service. Three of us spent about £80 which included pasta dishes, desserts, and wine. Definitely worth every penny spent. 100% recommend!
