We were very fortunate to come across this place as we left dinner to the very last minute and had…read moreforgotten to pre-book somewhere to eat. Not a single bad word can be said about this place. The food was absolutely incredible, staff was terrific and the whole theme was very unexpected to see in Dunoon. We had ordered a Calzone (with a side of chips) and the Cajun Chicken with chips, both of which came with a wee portion of coleslaw. The chicken melted in your mouth and was seasoned beautifully. The calzone was baked instead of fried and was the BEST calzone I have ever had. The chips were perfect and even the coleslaw was delicious (and I don't even like coleslaw!). We spoke to who we believe is the owner and he was very friendly and approachable and our server was a woman who could not have been better. Her service was as perfect as our meals. We highly recommend The 51st State Bar & Grill and will definitely be back next time we are in Dunoon.

Our dining experience was marked with good food and excellent service. Andy was AMAZING!!! He is a very professional server that goes above and beyond to provide the best experience possible. Calling our cab as we were finishing up our meal was a nice touch and very appreciated. They have a full bar and are quick with the drinks. If you order a mixed drink it will come with the shot of alcohol in a tall glass and a cold bottle of soda along side it. The presentation is very refreshing. For dinner we went simple with two pasta dishes and garlic bread. For appetizers we both decided on the fried mozzarella sticks. One of our meals came with meatballs that were very dry. This made them unappealing but the red sauce was delicious. The second pasta meal was macaroni with a sauce that was a blend of cheeses. This was outstanding and a recommendation by our server. Our appetizers came with a tart cranberry sauce and were very good.

I had the quattro stagioni pizza (£6.95) and a portion of spicy fries.The pizza was pretty decent, nicely crisp, golden brown and properly cooked all the way through. What can I say, it was yum! On the vegetarian front, should anyone tire of pizza (as if) or penne arrabiata (definitely) the peperoni ripeni main course caught my eye "stuffed pepper roasted with tomato & basil risotto, topped with mozzarella & drizzled with pesto". I LOVE pesto! Our waiters were attentive and friendly, the vibe was relaxed and I loved the smart decor. Cecchini's has none of the twee paraphenalia usually found in an Italian restaurant - not a raffia covered chianti bottle with red candle in sight. The wallpaper is pretty cool and features images of Italy in the medium of old black and white postcards. Nice one! The menu is very reasonably priced and they do takeaway also. Drinks are on the steep side with the cheapest pint of draught lager coming in at around £4.20 a pint, and a large glass of cordial £1.80, but the wine isn't silly prices. When you add the food and drink together the bottom line bill is not extorionate. Free wifi, easy free parking a short walk along the road. Special offers and set menus at certain times and particular days. Check em out!

Shaping of the pizza was done expertly by hand, draping it off the edge of a marble counter. I had a basic margherita pizza. Much of the base was a lot like uncooked dough. The flavour was strongly sour and salty but otherwise bland. There was also an incident whereby the open pizza box fell on the floor as it was loaded. I couldn't see behind the counter, so I'm guessing the pizza itself didn't touch the floor. But some acknowledgment of the mishap or even an offer to make a new pizza might have been in order. Obviously, there was nothing in what I ate which would make me return. I still like the foodie vibe around this place but obviously I would need some sort of reassurance or positive reviews by others to give it another go.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and there is always a relaxing ambience, which makes a great intimate dinner, either with your partner or with a family. At first when you enter the restaurant you are seated in a little section designated for pre-drinks and nibbles before being taken through to the main restaurant for dinner, where the food is served not long after being sat down. This is great as means can have relaxing chat before being sat down for dinner. The menu is in Italian, with English underneath, with a large focus on beef, chicken and seafood. This restaurant is suited to kids as the chefs will make anything plain if you ask for it. Furthermore, this restaurant has a dessert trolley with all homemade fresh Italian puddings and you can choose there and then which one takes your fancy. I would highly recommend this place for a truly special dinner.

The street scene on Glasgow Vennel never fails to send me back in time - an old cobbled street, including the flax heckling shop ( an old stone cottage) which is a Burns heritage site. Inside, the ambience is good in the old school Italian style, and the atmosphere gets very hale and hearty as the evening progresses with all those Ayrshire families enjoying themselves! On my last two visits to family in Ayrshire, this is where we went, and it was been clean plates all round for us, from my niece (age 10) to my mother (aged 70+). Pizza for me, calzone for my sister, chicken for mother, and pizza & chips plus homemade ice cream and more elaborate desserts for the kids. All done to a T - see the photos from my sister's phone which I've uploaded. I wouldn't call it high glamour, but prices are reasonable (£9.25 for the most expensive pizza) and the value for money and wholesomeness of the food is unbeatable. In conclusion, it would take a lot to make me want to try a different restaurant in the Irvine/Kilwinning area.
