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!

Not to be confused with Di Maggios…read more This is one of Motherwells best retaurants and one that doesn't deserve much praise in my book. 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.

I tend to have pasta or fish as my main meal with their pâté to start. The pâté comes with a delicious red onion chutney and tasty bread.

I visited here on a whim one evening during the week to get a quick dinner and drink before heading to the theatre. The place was empty and this worried me as I wondered why a lovely restaurant like this had very free customers. The staff seated us in the conservatory area which was lovely and meant we could eat while having the sunshine on our faces. The staff were attentive and served my house white wine in a chilled glass- delicious! I started with a delicious duck and ham terrine, served with salad and a garlic bread- this was rich, melt in the mouth meat with a buttery garlic bread. Yum yum. I then had the chicken supreme served on chorizo risotto in a garlic and cream sauce. I was barely able to hold a conversation as the food was so tasty. The chorizo risotto was soft and salty with a tender piece of chicken resting on top. If I could have eaten it all over again I would have. I finished with the meringue and lemon curd shortbread. As you will see from my photos, this was beautifully decorated and one of the prettiest (and tastiest) desserts I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now, you might you ask, how big a fortune did you have to spend on such a delicious 3 course meal? And I would answer, a mere £13.95! Yes, under £15 for one of the tastiest meals I have had outside of Glasgow. Grab yer coat and get a table here soon!

Was a sunny Sunday and the outdoor area was very busy with people having drinks. Inside was a bit quieter (understandable with the rare sunshine). There's a nice glass terrace area for seating and an indoor restaurant. On a Sunday they do a set menu, 2 courses at £10.95 which is great value. To start, I had the bruscetta, which was great. Tomatoes were fresh and the bread tasted freshly baked. For main, I had fish and chips which was superb. The batter on the fish was great, crispy and tasted lovely. Special mention to the chips which were twice cooked, and amazing! The service was attentive and friendly. Special menton to the house lager too, very tasty! Though you're spoiled for choice for good restaurants in Bothwell, I'd highly reccomend paying a visit here. Great quality food and well priced.

Great Italian place I was in with friends a week ago tonight. Was with friends that I've known…read moresince I was five. 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!
