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!

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!

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

Fabulous place to eat. Service, food choices, and friendly atmosphere really makes this place. You don't feel rushed and certainly don't have waitresses or waiters hovering about constantly asking if everything is ok, like other places I could mention. Relaxing afternoon. Would not hesitate to return.

Outstanding Italian restaurant!!! From being greeted by manager, Ben, upon arrival to our friendly timely server, Christine, it was a true pleasure. We had caprese salad and mussels, pizza and lasagna, followed by tiramisu and lemon cheesecake. Every item we had was delicious. Portions were generous, sauces outstanding and atmosphere that seemed like we enjoying a true Italian experience in Scotland!! Looking forward to trying their entire menu! Cheers!!

Had a lovely dinner here a few weeks ago with some friends. I had the Rigatoni Buongustaio (first two pictures) which was AMAZING and I would highly recommend this! Next in the photos is the Frutti di Mare seafood pasta, then the Rigatoni All Italiana is the 3rd pasta dish. For dessert we very much enjoyed the chocolate fudge cake and tiramisu can’t wait to come back! The Rigatoni Buongustaio was so delicious I think I’ll have to have it again, although there are so many dishes that sound great. I can’t stop thinking about how tasty it was! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend!
