Mains were the pizza /pasta combo , Cajun penne and half pepperoni and chilli pizza and my better half having carbonara and half ham and pineapple pizza.Both were excellent and a very generous pasta portion. Very nice experience,will defiantly be back

They have big circular booths, which I love and give an intimate feeling to your dining experience. I was there for the lunch deal (£10.95 for 2 courses) but I have been for dinner a few times and it is always tasty. The lunch deal is amazing. They have a great selection, about 5 starters, 5 mains and 3 deserts. The portions are not stingy either. Within their lunch deal, you can get half pizza and pasta as a main. Yes, you did read that write...can get pizza and pasta together! They have a choice for 3 pastas and 3 pizzas and you can choose a half portion of each. You may be in a carb coma afterwards but you will certainly not be hungry! The pizza is thin and crispy and as it is cooked in stone pizza oven. If your preferred pizza or pasta is not on the lunch deal, you can ask for your favourite from the main menu. There may be an extra charge but still realy good value. I had the courgettes stuffed with chorizo and arborio rice with mozzarella - so fresh and tasty. I then had a burger for my main - the burger was juicy with lots of flavour. It came with mushrooms, onions and mozzarella. It came with big, hand cut chips which were delicious. If you are in East Kilbride, and fancy some tasty food, then Zuccas is a must visit.

Pietruccio's in Hamilton is without a doubt one of my favourite restaurants. I've been 5 or 6 times…read moreand every time I go I feel more and more welcome by Pino, the owner. It's one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to, without a doubt, and it's because of Pino's exquisite style of old school Italian cooking. The service is always absolutely perfect; friendly, welcoming and warm, without being in your face. Even though I think Pino should have a restaurant that can seat 1,000 with this quality food, the restaurant is very small and only has about 10-15 tables. Topping everything off with an extensive wine menu, and a full bar, I see no faults with this place. The menu is brand new every day because Pino only makes meals that day using the ingredients he has. I love this aspect because every time I've been the menu has been so different, as it changes with the seasons and with the chef's mood. You can order from the menu normally, e.g. starter, main, dessert, but every time I've been I've gone for the gourmet tasting menu. This is a 7 course meal consisting of 3 starters, a pasta main, a fish main, a meat main, and a trio of desserts, all very small in size. For £25.95 it's absolutely fantastic. This evening as always, I chose the tasting menu. The most exciting aspect is you don't get to choose what you're having; Pino does. So even if you went two days in a row and the menu was the same, you could have 7 different things. Tonight's 3 starters consisted of Smoked Duck Salad, Grilled Asparagus in oil and vinegar, and Stuffed Aubergines. Absolutely heavenly. Our pasta main course was Tortelloni with Ham and Black Truffle in a Creamy Sauce. The fish was Salmon alla Romana, and we had an Aberdeen Angus Fillet, cooked rare to perfection, for our meat main. Without a doubt the best steak I've ever tasted. The trio of desserts consisted of homemade apple cake, homemade dark chocolate mousse, and a selection of berries drizzled in maple syrup. This place is absolutely outstanding, and despite the fact it's not in the city centre, I would definitely advise making a point to get out to this place for a meal. You definitely would not regret it!

It's always the way - having never visited here in the 5 years we've lived around the corner, we…read morewere pleasantly surprised by just how good the food was. We'd gone for a walk one sunny spring evening and ended up here. To be honest, I really wanted a fish supper but preferred the idea of dining in rather than a takeaway, so we decided to give it a try. One downside of this restaurant is that it's in the basement of the building, meaning that on a lovely sunny night you don't get to enjoy the sunshine. The decor could definitely do with updating as it is very casual. I looked at the menu and decided to have the pre-theatre (available all night on a Thursday) which is £13.95 for 2 course. There is a good choice of dishes (about 5 options of mains and starters). I opted for chicken liver pâté followed by mushroom and asparagus risotto. Graeme had a pizza, so we decided to get a cheesy garlic bread to share with our starters so he didn't steal all my pâté. The a la carte menu has pasta, pizza as well as meat and fish dishes. In all honesty I would have preferred one of the meat/fish mains but the prices were just too expensive for me, most coming in at over £15 for a main. Comparing these prices with decent city centre restaurants, I wouldn't expect to pay more on the south side and that's why this place loses a star. The pâté was a good dollop, served with crackers and bread as well as some salad and red onion chutney. Delicious, and a great size for a starter. The garlic bread was heavenly and had a huge amount of cheese on it which was just perfect. I really enjoyed the risotto as well - I've had a lot of bad risottos while dining out, and this wasn't one of them. Perfectly cooked, generously topped with Parmesan and lots of tasty mushrooms. I would have liked more asparagus but the pieces I did get were delicious and it was perfectly cooked, with the right amount of bite. We didn't have dessert and decided to walk home. The bill came in close to £50 due to the expensive drinks, which was a little disappointing. A small glass of rose was £4.95 and Graeme had a beer, so that pushed things up a little. I'm glad to say that we'd definitely go back and recommend it - the pre-theatre is a very good deal and I was really impressed by the cooking. It's great to find a great little restaurant right on your doorstep ... even if it's been there all along! (Added note, there's carparking behind the row of shops if you're driving, it can often be hard to get a spot on Ayr Road in the evening).

The fake fireplace humoured us at first but later on we forgot about it and it seemed like the real thing. We were happy, warm, and in good spirits. To start off, we were surprised with a humongous portion of fresh steamed mussels in a savoury tomato broth. This was expertly timed to be followed by our platefuls of freshly made pasta. Gorgeous was the creamy carbonara with Parmagiano and Amatriciana, which were wallops of a finish to the nights eats. The staff were lovely, the male wait person in particular was very accommodating and his sincerity was felt. We really wanted to do dessert..but alas again too full! Must come again to peruse the menu further and delight in desserts.

Anger, rage, fury, annoyance. That is what I am feeling. How did I not find this place sooner? Why…read moredid nobody mention it to me? Why did I not see Donald and Peter's rave reviews before now? The world is a cruel and wicked place, but I have to let bygones be bygones and accepted that I am, indeed, a douche for not finding this place sooner. Nestled in Mount Florida near Hampden Park, you wouldn't necessarily find this little place. From the outside it looks nothing more that your typical Italian joint. Almost neglected you may say. There's nothing particularly appealing about the shop front. Furthermore as they have no website I had no real idea what to expect food wise. So, I went in completely blind, not knowing anything. First impressions were excellent, very cosy, only 8 or 9 tables, nice Italian music in the background, the chatter of Italian in the kitchen and amongst the waiters. It all boded very well. We ordered some drinks and after a quick rummage through the menu (which all looked great, and very well priced) we were recited the specials of the day. In true Italian style we took the plunge and went for a mega feast of four courses. Nothing particularly challenging for a Wednesday night I must say. To begin, we had a duo of bruschettas - one, a classic tomato and the other with friarielli (or Italian wild broccoli). Afterwords we had a wonderful seafood caserecce pasta dish (primo) with fresh clams and squid. It tasted just like the real stuff I would get in Italy. After, yes there was more (or a secondo), a huge fitto misto (which we shared) which is basically battered and fried seafood. The batter was so light and crisp, and served with lemon its a simple and easy dish that is difficult to top. Finally for desert was a home-made amarena cherry and amaretto cheesecake. It was oh so rich and creamy. Exquisite!!! All this was washed down with some rather darn fine Soave white wine, and the best part was the final bill, incredibly good value for money considering the quantity and the amazing quality of the food we had. I could not recommend this place enough. A real proper Italian restaurant, which is going straight into my top Italian eateries list. I simply cannot wait to go back.

I made a grand entrance by falling on the floor either by slipping on something or a shoe malfunction but the owners & owners daughter were so quick to come over to me as I made a spectacle of myself, & were so kind, they picked me up & dusted me off and promptly gave me ice for my swollen hands. They couldn't do much for my bruised ego however but once we all decided on the 2 course between 2 and a bottle of wine, that helped me laugh of the embarrassment! Great specials by the way with lots to choose from. After living in the US and not getting the "British/Italian" version of lasagna at my disposal or prawn cocktail Marie Rose I knew exactly what I was having. Both were delicious! All six of us had incredible meals. The owners were witty & chatted with us. One graciously tried to take a group photo & failed, we asked the other owner who quickly said no no we are awful with cameras & phones I will get my daughter. We all laughed afterwards. The staff was great, we had a great night there. They put up with a bunch of 50 year olds hooting & hollering telling old childhood stories, although I suspect they enjoyed the banter. Turns out one of our friends shops in one of the owners home towns for work - small world. Definitely check out this place! Great ambiance, great food. Oh & the sticky toffee pudding is to die for!

It's cramped inside with a cold interior and average service. It also takes itself a bit too seriously I think, encouraging bookings even though it's never that busy.

It's a good place that is tucked away, quite intimate and cosy in the right company, but it is quite expensive and the wait on the food is often unbearably long. Good, not great. Better for couples, given how cramped it is inside.
