Please bear with me while I attempt to put into words how glad I am that we found this restaurant.
Driving past it looks quite pretty from the roadside, the big glass front on the canal bank, but yes the entrance around the back and the carpark don't quite meet the otherwise beautiful standard the restaurant aspires to.
The internal decor made me feel like we were in a luxuriously renovated farm house in Italia, just beautiful.
It was a Tuesday night, and a booking wasn't required, although this may be different on weekends. The waiter was very attentive, but not overly so.
For starters we ordered garlic bread, mozzarella sticks and Bruschetta. The Bruschetta was a little tomato heavy for me but still delicious non-the-less. The tomato was the right level of sweet with the perfect amount of oil.
For mains my partner had Carbonara Linguini and he described it as a "spiritual experience" plus they were generous with his need for parmesan. I ordered the Parma Ham Pizza with Black olives, and I feel confident in saying that it was perhaps the best pizza I have ever eaten, I only wish I could have finished it. They did box up the remains for me though.
For the same quantity of meals and drinks the price didn't differ that much from say Frankie and Bennies, but the quality just blew me away.
The staff were truly lovely. Our waiter explained they are endeavouring to recruit a more cohesive cocktail menu, to add to their already well stocked bar.
They open for a couple of hours over lunch during the week, then again on the evenings, and open all day on weekends.
I would urge anyone within reasonable travelling distance to Falkirk, to pay them a visit. The atmosphere, food and staff all scored very highly in my view, including the reasonable bill delivered at the end. read more
