This little place is worth visit but make sure you book in advance as since the day one it's been fully booked. Ok let's get to business Food wise... TRATTORIA means tavern. Place where you'll get traditional home made food and that's what Trattoria Genova offers fresh tasty food... We don't need more of Jamie's Italian... We want authenticy and simplicity thanks guys:) Service..very friendly staff and owners. It's been a week since you open and you give the feeling like you were there forever. As soon as I walked in the floor staff greet with smile and give the warm welcoming feeling. This was my second visit and the barman remembered how I take my coffee.. . Hey ho! I like that! :) Inside... Just lovely. Beautiful modern twist with spectacular art on the wall and the ceiling.. Just go on and visit! You won't regret it. I'll be back for sure.. Well done!

I stumbled across this place when looking for somewhere to eat in Paisley. The first thing I…read morenoticed was the lovely interior of the restaurant. It's beautifully designed with a clean, modern feel making the dining atmosphere enjoyable. The servers were very friendly but I would have to say that they were not as attentive as I would have liked. We had to call them for refills on our water and prime them to clear out plates. However they were very personable and hopefully this was just due to the face that they've only been open a few days. I thought the food was slightly above average. I ordered the bruschetta to start and it was a good balance with the garlic and basil. Then I add the pollo Milanese which was average. Overall I would love to give this place four stars as its fresh on the block and boats of a lovely interior but I just feel the food didn't math up. It was what I expected but nothing above and beyond your traditional Italian.

You can smell the fresh paint, no joke! Only here to watch a movie at the IMAX and Braehead struggles for decent eateries, unless you like Subway & Frankie/Bennys.. Warm welcome on entrance and place is really nicely decorated with smaller booths for 2. Waiter brought over menus & they had to be the largest menus I've ever seen. You could spend the whole meal not seeing the other half! Opted for Lasagne, as I never get to make it with Fiona hating cheese & Fiona went for Risotto with King Prawn. Side order of foccacia with cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil. Didn't have to wait too long, as it's geared up for folk seeing a movie or doing other activities in Xscape. Have to say with such a low expectation, that I was actually pretty shocked. The lasagne wasn't out of a freezer, the risotto was cooked fresh & full of flavour. The clear winner though, was the foccacia, which was more a pizza base to be fair. The lightness & flavour from such a simple dish, was 10/10. I could have just ate that for my lunch, the portion was that large as you can see from attached photo. Pleasantly surprised & pleased, that I can actually eat a decent meal at Braehead, when we go to see a movie at the IMAX. Yes - Spiderman 2 in IMAX was awesome by the way :-D You Gotta Eat Here - For Sure!! :-D

Everything came out quickly and nice and hot. The pizza was great, I really loved their bread. The pastas were very typical from any big Italian restaurant but nothing spectacular. The calamari was a little chewy but the batter was nice and crispy. All in all I'd say this place is a decent family restaurant where you can get average flavored Italian food with excellent service. A little expensive for what you get, but it's clean, lively and you'll know what you're in for.

I've had the smorgasbord and it was a good variety of antipasti. The minestrone was a good starter, too, as were their meatballs. The main courses were good--I enjoyed the pollo peppe, and the pasta carbonara was good. The deli does half-baked pizza that are very nice--thin crust like in the restaurant but take home and finish. They also do "ready meals" that are good as well as a counter selling cheeses, meats and pastries. Well worth a visit.

I started out with a mixed salad, it had chopped greens, a layer of tomatoes, red onions and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, not only was this mixed salad good looking it was great tasting too! For the main meal I went with Pollo Birra & Carciofi, which was pan roasted chicken breast with red onions, rosemary and artichokes in a sauce made from Italian handcrafted beer. Oh my! The chicken was so tender and good, the flavors of everything blended well, before I knew my meal was gone. I knew since I was indulging I needed to keep it moving and dive into dessert, after checking out the yummy menu I went with the Tronchetto Al Cioccolato- it was an Sicilian style chocolate cake, rolled together with Italia Amaretti & cookies served with nocciolate ice cream, oh sweet bliss! Every bite was just divine! Service was great and friendly. A truly great dinning experience, Tarantino offers creative Italian dishes.

I was a little dubious when I saw restaurant opening up - after Indian and burgers, Glasgow has a…read moreload of Italian places. Located just off the Finnieston strip next to Ox & Finch, we actually tried going here last year but for some reason they were closed on a Saturday night so we went to Mother India instead. A group of 5 of us visited for dinner last night. The restaurant is pretty small actually but not pokey - no one was seated right beside us and the music gives it a good atmosphere so you don't feel like people are listening to your conversation. The menu is really impressive - I pretty much wanted to eat every single dish. As Rocco G says, it's not your usual Italian dishes on the menu and you can be a little more adventurous here (although there is a section of traditional Italian dishes which are more common in the UK like bolognese, carbonara, lasagne). There's lots of eggplant/aubergine (drool) and loads of delicious-sounding seafood, as well as nod to Scottish folk with a chicken breast stuffed with haggis. There's even a good range of vegetarian dishes. I went for the scallops to start (£9.95) which were beautifully plump (is there any other way to describe a good scallop), served in a lovely tangy Aurum liqueur sauce. For the price I thought 3 scallops was very reasonable, and really enjoyed how perfectly they were cooked. For main I couldn't go past the gnocchi with king prawns in a white wine sauce (£11.95). It was a huge portion (too large, if I'm honest) but overall a really wonderful dish packed with flavour but not smothered in sauce, and really letting the puffs of gnocchi shine. There was one main large prawn (in the shell) and then smaller prawns scattered around the dish - again, for the price I thought this was really good value. I even went for dessert (something I rarely do) as I quite fancied the tiramisu (I think around £5). Again, great sized portion, lovely presentation and had a nice boozy/coffee kick to it. I couldn't eat it all so they happily popped it in a container for me to take home (guess what I'm having for lunch today?!). Service was great - we were looked after by two staff members who were both friendly and helpful. There was a mix up with the mains as one of our party didn't receive his, and they only realised as they were bringing out our dishes. I thought the way it was handled was really nice - they offered him some bread while he waited, and then took his dessert off the bill to say sorry. Life lesson: If Rocco G says it's good, it's going to be good.

My Mum and I were hungry so just went for it. We were in the Braehead one (used to be Xscape), its a good size and wasnt too busy. We got three courses for £11, served a lovely waiter with (what I hope was) a cheesy fake Italian accent. I got mushrooms to start, creamy chicken pasta for main and finished with waffles. Everything was delicious!!! I was stuffed and chuffed ;). My Mum also enjoyed her meal, she had garlic bread, fish and chips and ice cream. I'm not a big drinker and Mum was driving to I had diet coke (with unlimited refills) and Mum had tea. The best part was the music they played! Elvis, Dusty Springfield, The Beatles and lots of others that I love. The bathrooms were nice too :). So my views of Frankie and Benny's have definitely changed and I will no doubt return.

Good selection of meat, fish,…read morevegetarian and vegan tapas providing lots of variety to choose from, plus several mains like paella, steak, etc. We decided to get a selection of 6 tapas, taking advantage of the 3 tapas for £9.95 offer (available all day Sat-Sun). Staff were warm and friendly, and we were immediately served complimentary bread, oil, olives and a jug of fruit-infused iced water - top marks for the welcome! Service and wait time was no issue as we were the only folks dining there (unsurprising as 3.30pm IS an odd time to be eating I suppose). I tried 4 of the tapas dishes - Guiso de Garbanzos (a slow-cooked chickpea stew in a herby tomato sauce), Tempura Vegetal (bite-size pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, courgette and carrot coated in a light crisp batter and served with a sweet chilli dip), Patatas Bravas (a tapas staple, this one was like roast potatoes with a thick tomato sauce on top), and a tapas-sized serving of the Paella de Verduras (which differed slightly from the description in the menu - no courgette or aubergine, but the mix of broccoli, carrots, peas, peppers and delicious savoury rice was fine without). The restaurant is fully licensed, however I had a nice fruity mocktail as I was out with the car. We really enjoyed the meal and I'm sure we'll be back again.

I was here last month to try the Spanish menu of the restaurant…read more I was pretty impressed about how the restaurant makes you feel in a real Spanish restaurant, decoration, free nibble while you wait for your main courses etc. We ordered: champiñones al ajillo (mushsrooms with garlic) morcilla rebozada (black pudding), gambas rebozadas (prawns), croquetas y carne guisada (lamb cubic). The best one was the lamb, really similar as the Spanish, and really tasty. Mushrooms and prawns were really good too and with the same elaboration as in my country. The less Spanish for us were the croquetas and morcilla, croquetas because the inside wasn't as creamy as they suppossed to be, and morcilla because in Spain most of the time we eat in smaller quantity and just themselves without the tempura. We also tried one of the wines from our region in Spain (12£) the bottle and was soooo good! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are nearby Paisley.

It was really a random decision, and we didn't expect much from an Italian / Kebab shop hybrid take-away, but I just had an itch for Italian food that needed scratching! Ninos has a great range of pizzas, pastas, and classic kebab shop snackery, which can make for an interesting array of food arriving at your door! You can also get meal deals for one, two, and four which are spectacular value for money. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was absolutely awesome. There were some random chicken starters that we ordered (can't for the life of me remember what they were called) which were perfectly marinaded and were super tender. The dessert was also fantastic!
