I…read morethen remembered Eataliano in Hamilton, I thought some good Italian nosh should satisfy our rumbling stomachs. 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 see that this Di Maggios has one review and it's a 4 star review. I genuinely struggle to…read moreunderstand how this place could get anything more than 2 stars, and that's me being kind. 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.

Went for a late lunch with friends. We decided on the lunch menu which had a good choice for the…read moreamount charged. 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.

Chiefly Onesti's and The Rex. Time to complete the epic saga. Marcantonio's or 'Marr-keys' rests beside Wok Express near Motherwell Library on Hamilton Road, in shouting distance of a few pubs which gets them alot of business. They thrive on the squad of schoolies from Dalziel High School down the road though at lunch time. I dare anyone to try get served in here at lunchtime. The food is great, and not as expensive as other chip shops, with a constant wee production line waiting for you in the hot plate. Sometimes the chips aren't piping hot, but that's about all I have to say as a negative point. They also do a half a fish supper type contraption which is becoming more and more common which I won't argue with one bit. The ice cream, as has been mentioned, is also excellent. There's also something slightly nice about the wee box they give you your food in with Marcantonio's on it, as if they take a wee bit more pride in their business than other places. No reason why they shouldn't either.

It was an Wednesday evening and in need some scran. Ian came through to see me and I remembered…read moreFiona M. raving about Mushtaqs. I said "up for an Indian?" Ian agreed with great enthusiam. Yay! It's about less than 10 minutes away from me, so we were there in no time. Arrived no problem and we noticed they had a car park round the back. Car parked and ready for food. It was fairly busy for a Wed evening, few couples and a wee party of 6. Ordered our drinks and the waiter explained how the buffet works as we hadn't been before. We helped ourselves to the pile of poppadoms with a fab choice of different sauces. There were some really lovely flavours and poppadoms were really tasty. Our starter to share soon arrived and it was a really good mix and it was delicious flavours. I think they should add fish pakora to the mix and I think it would be perfect. Nom! As it was a buffet we headed up to the hot plate/cabinet things. It started from rice, mild curries up to spicy. I had some white rice and oooh the pilau rice. That was the most delectable pilau rice I've ever had. I piled on some chicken korma and chasni, it looked so creamy and smooth. When we returned to our table there was a big fresh warm naan bread sitting ready for us. I thought that was a really nice touch, a lovely wee surprise as I was looking for the naans. The food tastied amazing, the korma and chasni were scrumptious and the pilau rice really complimented it. For the third course of the buffet we were offfered ice cream or coffee. Ian had a coffee and I squeezed in a cheeky wee ice cream with strawberry sauce. It finished off the meal perfectly. I'm so glad I remembered here and I would certainly come back. I didn't know about all the publicity about the place and the award winning chef but after tasting the food I can see why. Yum!

The veg pakora and the chicken tikka karahi were nice however the Chicken tikka masala was a creamy slightly pink colour and had a funny floral taste. Unfortunately the pilau rice was the brown kind rather than the bright yellow saffron rice also it was overly fragrant, again like a flowery perfume, which didn't go well with the curry dishes. The garlic naan was a bit thin for some reason. The main prob though was after the meal I felt really bloated that night and next day my stomach didn't feel great, feels like fighting off something, so not sure if I would order again.

I love Tortolano's. I love it so much it makes me want ice cream in the middle of winter!…read moreTheir ice cream is definitely one of my very favourites (vying for the top spot with Equi's) and has been a staple of my life, growing up in Uddy. It used to be based in a much smaller shop and only did ice cream and sweets - sugar mice ftw! - but since moving to a larger establishment they are also now a chippy. Unfortunately I'm not hugely keen on their fried offerings, not that I've tried them that many times as I live very very near Enzo's, so I'm never gonna trek up the Main St for something else! The ice cream is the main attraction for most people anyway. They do a decent range of flavours, my favourite being raspberry ripple were I forced to choose, and while it is a bit pricey, it is completely and utterly worth it. You try having some and then tell me it isn't! They still sell chocolates, old-fashioned sweets and other things, which change seasonally. I still sometimes think about the summer of '02 when they did Blue Cloud (bubblegum flavoured) ice cream and blew everyone's frickin MINDS, it was a particular hit with the kids at my school. Good times. Why four stars? The reception you get in there is sometimes a bit icy (pun fully intended) and I always feel a bit awkward in there rather than being welcomed as a paying customer, but that too is worth putting up with! (Did I mention the ice cream is good? It's good.)

Well, when i heard this place was opening i was ecstatic…read more I'd previously been to the one in Byres road glasgow which was amazing and ever since i had been telling my mum how good the dressing were etc. we love a salad dressing haha. so then i heard this place was opening and i told everyone and couldn't wait.. so it opened and i couldn't wait to go and my perfect opportunity came when my Aunt from Canada was home and we were going for lunch so i suggested here because it had been so yummy in glasgow. We went in August, after it had been opened for 5 weeks, this was so the hype and stuff had calmed down as we hadn't booked. so we went in just the two of us and were greeted by a man who said hello. i asked for a able for 2 and he said whats the name, i told him we had no reservation.... and he seemed so annoyed why this was i dont know? as it was 1pm and the restuarnt was pretty empty except up the back where i guess it family area. so he'll fussed about on the computer trying to find us a table why i dont know as there were plenty clearly available. so a waiter came and took us to our seat. i think it was the owrst seat in the house, a tiny little table right at the back with all the prams at the fire exit... my aunt did say are you serious'? why cant we have a booth and he got flustestered and walked away so rude. so we sat down, i had to sit right in at the table as the waitresses kept asking my to push my chair in so they could get past to get to other tables. seriously? whilst waiting, we were next to 4 family table 2 of whom had big prams and screaming children. they wouldnt move their pram so i could hardly move in my seat. i was so unimpressed we thought about just getting up and leaving. we ordered drinks and they took ages god knows why as the place wasn't busy. i was disappointed there was no lunch menu deals available.. we ordered ceasar salads an i was vamished and looking forward to it, it came out and we both just looked it... then looked at each other. yes it was a large portion, but the lettuce was swimming in dressing so much so it had gone completly soggy, the chicken was so dry and chargrilled it near broke my teeth and well the croutons you could have knocked someone out with them they were that hard. i was so disappointed as id had a completly different experience in glasgow and i felt so silly for having been telling everyone how amazing it was and dragging my aunt to it. we paid the bill grudginly at almost £15. We left. when walking out still no tables were filled out front this enraged me more as we got sat through the back as "these were reserved" well reserved for who those having dinner? all in all wasn't impressed in the slightest. terrible service and attitude. food was not good at all. pricey too. won't be back ever. i'll stick to what i know and travel to Glasgow instead.

I ate at Tony Macaroni twice during my recent stay in Scotland. It's a chain Italian restaurant,…read moreso the food was OK. Both times I had the Insalata Gotardo, which was very fresh. I enjoyed the mix of flavors in the salad, including the large "crouton" topped with the grilled goat cheese. I also ordered a side order of their home made bread the first time, and the rosemary focaccia bread the second time. Both breads were very good. For dessert, the first time my husband and I split a dessert, which name I can't remember, but it was basically fried sweet dough (what we Americans would compare to funnel cake) with chocolate and toffee dipping sauces. I'm a huge chocoholic, and was a little disappointment in the chocolate sauce, but the toffee sauce was excellent! On my second visit, I got the apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. It was hot and crumbly, a dessert I love paired with nice cold ice cream. Our second visit here was actually not planned... we wanted to go somewhere else which didn't have any seating available for us, so we went to Tony Macaroni as a back up. It's not the type of place I'd go out of my way for, but would count on a decent meal when it was convenient.
