There was a wedding on when we went but realised there is a separate restaurant to the wedding reception area. We were greeted by friendly staff asking if we wanted to be seated in the restaurant or in the glasshouse - obviously went for the glasshouse! It was quite large, probably seated around 20 tables (plus the extra tables indoors). The decor was simple yet elegant. There were low hanging glass bulbs throughout and some black and white vintage posters on the walls. I went for the lunch deal which was 2 courses for £9.25 I think, but there was also one course and 3 course deals. I ordered the soup of the day for starter, which was carrot and coriander accompanied with white bread. I don't like carrot at all but it was quite yummy! Only downside to the starter was when I wanted to butter my bread and the butter was so melted it was just oil in a packet. My boyfriend ordered vegetable pakora for his starter and it was delicious also. For our mains I had a lasagne which came with garlic bread and a side of salad with vinegar dressing - wasn't overly salty or cheesy which was lovely :). The 2 course definitely filled me up, great value for money! There are also seating outdoors as well for hot summer days, shame it was rainy tomorrow after the week we've had!

And we find Andiamo, an upscale italian restaurant with excellent food and service, and best of all, offering lunch menu specials on a Saturday. Everything was delicious. The fry calamari was high standard. The spaguetti cozzy, with mussels was awesome. And the tortelloni dolcelatte, with nuts and spinach and cheese, to die for. Dessert: warm apple pie with ice cream and the caffe latte were so good. Bottom line, we had an excellent experience and strongly recommend everyone to try it

Andiamo's Milngavie restaurant is without a doubt my favourite of all 3. I've become incredibly…read moreknowledgable with the chain as my partner Colin works for the Hamilton branch, and I've been in quite a lot of times in the last couple of years. Colin and I decided yesterday that we were going to visit all 3 restaurants in one day; have a coffee in the Giffnock branch, a starter in the Milngavie branch and then a main course in the Hamilton one, and we managed it successfully! Upon stepping into the Milngavie restaurant, I was blown away. In comparison to the other two, it's so contemporary, fabulous and fresh. Black walls dotted with white and gold paintings and furnishings, a huge ornate fireplace and a whole lounge in the bar make this the largest of the three, but also definitely my favourite. Colin and I had starter portions of pasta to eat; Colin a Penne Modo Mio and myself a Rigatoni Norcina. Both were loved and scoffed down with a presumably indelicate manner. The staff were excellent, and loved to hear Colin was a fellow Andiamo staff member (even taking our final round of drinks off the bill!) Excellent work Andiamo! Now just get the other two up to a similar standard.

Catching up with my reviews - ate here on 14th September, in my bid to try out the new local…read moreplaces. Very busy restaurant and had to book in advance to try it out, following a takeaway option the week beforehand (which was very average). Extremely modern fresh interior and friendly enough welcome in. Was a noisy night as a live band was playing at the other end of the restaurant. Sat us down at the end of the restaurant in a booth and waited a few minutes before getting waiter back to ask for drinks. Ordered a bottle of wine and soft drinks. 25 minutes later... they appear back.. Not a good start already, given the waitress had taken our food order before the chap came back with 2 soft drinks and a bottle! Mum was the only one to order a starter of minestrone soup & as you can see from the photos - a tuscan bean soup would be a better description, not a minestrone soup of any shape or form. No one came over to ask how it was either. Mains arrived shortly after and I went for Milanese Chicken with pasta, mum had pasta with spicy sausage and Fi, pasta with prawns. Side order of focaccia bread. Simplest way to describe the food. Bland and tasteless. No seasoning in any of the dishes whatsoever. Pasta was dry and not fresh tasting in the slightest. Worst part - the bread. It wasn't cooked and dough was still raw all across the edges and the rock salt... OMG.. Anymore thrown on & I'd be in hospital! Not to worry... oh wait, thats right, no one came over again to ask how things were, or even acknowledged you at the table. Didn't eat much, but still opted to try desserts to get a better feel for the place on a review. Sticky Toffee and Tiramisu are always winners & they were okay - not stand out, but the better out of the 3 courses. Another thing that lets this place down, is the ambience or lack of. It's just so loud in here with the tunnel design and you can't hear yourself or talk without raising your voice. I was quite disappointed with Nonnas Kitchen, given the takeaway the week before wasn't great, but put that down to it being a takeaway. Clearly, things don't improve much eating in food or service wise. Popular down to nothing else is really in Kirky and it's big and modern. Not a winner with me or anyone that expects freshly cooked and lovingly prepared food/service. You Don't Gotta Eat Here... Sadly!

Will definitely come again when I am in Kirky next :)

Despite the random ramblings of the first review on this place, having nothing much to do with…read moreeating here, as more a rant on cycling and coffee - I decided to try this out, after Nonna's Kitchen across the road was an utter disappointment. Booked table for Fiona and I on a Tuesday night, as the weekends are rammed. Wasn't overly busy with 3-4 tables there at 6:30pm. Waitress came running over from behind counter, bubbly and friendly to seat us. Her colleague came over with menus and mentioned the specials, along with offer of drinks. Fancied their Chianti, so she came back with a small glass for us to try beforehand (nice touch). Ended up with the bottle as a result! Went for starters of calamari, mains of Lasagne and Fiona has risotto, but they kindly added prawns to it for her. Chatted with the waitress & instantly from sitting down here, it has a very different feel from Nonna's Kitchen. No, it's not slick and fancy with a Fiat 500 car sitting outside purely for marketing purposes. It's COSY and welcoming. I'm instantly relaxed as is Fiona. This is what I want from a restaurant... lets hope the food lives up to the ambience and service so far! Calamari - cooked fresh, not from frozen, but cut a little too thinly and lacked seasoning. Still nice though, but for £5.95 it could be better taste and portion wise. Glasgow City prices here after all.. Mains didn't take long to come - 15 mins or so and wowser. There was certainly no lack of portions here! The focaccia bread looked amazing (cooked!) :-) Dug into the bread whilst the lasagne cooled. Stark contrast from Nonna's and the lasagne was bursting with flavours. Fiona even said her risotto was the nicest she'd had so far, from ANY restaurant to date. It might be slightly more than Tony Macaroni's lets say, given they do special 2/3 course meal deals, but with the portion sizes and quality, it was well on a par with City Centre restaurants. Saved space for dessert & had to have Tiramisu and Fiona tried Torta Della Nonna. A traditional Tuscan dessert with pastry and vanilla. Whilst mine was stunning, Fiona was left disappointed in hers, as it had nuts all over it (hates nuts!). A little heavy on the icing sugar dusting too. Lass said she'd change the menu to show nuts on it, but despite not being eaten, it remained on the bill. A nicer touch would have been to take it off as first timers here and an issue with the menu here. That said, we both had a very relaxing, friendly banter evening, learning about the restaurant, staff etc and experienced FINALLY, some freshly cooked food locally. I will 100% come back and take the mother along to sample it and hope the standards remain consistent here. You Gotta Eat Here - For Sure!! :-D

We had an AirBNB in a nearby town and wanted dinner without driving all the way back to the more populated cities. Looking at Yelp we found this location and decided to give it a try. Kirky was fairly dead at 7pm on a weekday but the local parking lot was free by that point in the evening. Cafe Marian was an short stroll from the lot behind the church and the staff welcomed us in. The food was good and the service was quick (ish - I mean, small town dinner, don't expect the food in ten minutes).

I decided to just go for the lasagne and a side of bread with oil & balsamic vinegar. I'm glad I did because the portions are huge!
