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!

The service was also friendly and attentive, could not have been better. Wine list reasonably pricey but for the 4 of us the final bill was £140 which was excellent value. Definitely worth the trip from Glasgow to Hamilton. Can't 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!

We arrived just after 9.30pm so we were worried we might be too late as the closing time said 10pm on the door but folks were still being served so I presume it was an 11pm closing. The staff were lovely and accommodating, sitting us down in a wee comfy corner for the two of us. As I was famished I wanted the full 3 course meal. We started off with mozzarella sticks, I can't remember what they called it but it was sticks of yummy battered cheese and dip, then I had the penne carbonara. You could choose the pasta you fancied, penne's one of my favourites. Then for a sweet I had a strawberry sundae, it finished off the meal perfectly. I would definitely come back here as the prices weren't too bad, the décor was smart, especially as it's still fresh and new and of course the food was delicious. One to keep in mind for future tasty food.

I've never been to any other Di Maggios, and I'm keen to try another to see if it can change my opinion on the company. I've been in this restaurant a few times when I was younger so I don't remember it much, but my parents never liked it. But I went in about 6 months ago with my friend Maria and both of us were so disappointed with the service we received. Over the course of the evening we were served by about 13 different staff members so we didn't actually ever know who our waiter was. They managed to get both our starter and main course orders incorrect, but we weren't offered any sort of consolation such as free desserts or a free drink, which is normal in a restaurant when they make mistakes regarding orders. The only reason I'm not giving this place one star is because, when they get it correct, the food is actually not bad. They have a delivery service which I'd use because I do like the food and wouldn't have to put up with the bad service, but I'd never go in the restaurant again.

I had a discussion with the waiter about the nachos with him pointing out that the mince had chilli in it when I said I didn't like anything "nippy" so I went for the ribs. I was surprised he didn't mention these were a bit "nippy" but they were also lovely. Meat fell off the bones and my little face was awash with sauce. Friends had stuffed mushrooms and mozzerella cubes Had the steak and hot cheese philly ciabatta sandwich with chips and salad. Portion was large so took half home. Thoroughly enjoyed what I could eat. Unfortunately, one of my friend's had a problem with her salad with crispy bacon. We all just looked at it when the waiter put it down because the bacon looked as if it had not seen heat never mind being crispy. It was rectified immediately but how any chef/cook could put something that was not cooked out for a customer has obviously no pride in their work. Maybe he/she just didn't care. Who knows, we were not given an explanation. It kinda put us off so we skipped puds and left. I have eaten here a number of times but this time, well .... there was something not just quite right. It was fairly empty so maybe that was it. It will probably be a while before we return.

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. The food is good, but quite overpriced. I have only ever sampled the least Italian elements of the menu, to be fair, but no-one in my parties have ever complained to be honest. 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.

The childrens' meals are a proper variety of good nutritional meals. The restaurant is based on the New York Italian diners that offer pizzas, pasta and burgers. ( there are a lot of other dishes too ). I like the comfortable booths and the decor. The walls are plastered with hundreds of black and white photos of old famous movie stars and baseball players from old New York. They play lots of old rock'n'roll tunes as well. They sell pre-prepared compilation CD's of all the music you here. ( bit pricey though ). This is a great place for popping into after the cinema, or if you have a big party, or if you're on a date, or even if you just fancy a good meal on your own.
