The food was absolutely incredible, staff was terrific and the whole theme was very unexpected to see in Dunoon. We had ordered a Calzone (with a side of chips) and the Cajun Chicken with chips, both of which came with a wee portion of coleslaw. The chicken melted in your mouth and was seasoned beautifully. The calzone was baked instead of fried and was the BEST calzone I have ever had. The chips were perfect and even the coleslaw was delicious (and I don't even like coleslaw!). We spoke to who we believe is the owner and he was very friendly and approachable and our server was a woman who could not have been better. Her service was as perfect as our meals. We highly recommend The 51st State Bar & Grill and will definitely be back next time we are in Dunoon.

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.

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.

We melted off the icy cold night with Sapori's. Upon entering, we were gladly received with a…read moretoasty warm invite, with our eyes wandering here and there to sumptuous italian imports stashed around the room. The fake fireplace humoured us at first but later on we forgot about it and it seemed like the real thing. We were happy, warm, and in good spirits. To start off, we were surprised with a humongous portion of fresh steamed mussels in a savoury tomato broth. This was expertly timed to be followed by our platefuls of freshly made pasta. Gorgeous was the creamy carbonara with Parmagiano and Amatriciana, which were wallops of a finish to the nights eats. The staff were lovely, the male wait person in particular was very accommodating and his sincerity was felt. We really wanted to do dessert..but alas again too full! Must come again to peruse the menu further and delight in desserts.

Anger, rage, fury, annoyance. That is what I am feeling. How did I not find this place sooner? Why…read moredid nobody mention it to me? Why did I not see Donald and Peter's rave reviews before now? The world is a cruel and wicked place, but I have to let bygones be bygones and accepted that I am, indeed, a douche for not finding this place sooner. Nestled in Mount Florida near Hampden Park, you wouldn't necessarily find this little place. From the outside it looks nothing more that your typical Italian joint. Almost neglected you may say. There's nothing particularly appealing about the shop front. Furthermore as they have no website I had no real idea what to expect food wise. So, I went in completely blind, not knowing anything. First impressions were excellent, very cosy, only 8 or 9 tables, nice Italian music in the background, the chatter of Italian in the kitchen and amongst the waiters. It all boded very well. We ordered some drinks and after a quick rummage through the menu (which all looked great, and very well priced) we were recited the specials of the day. In true Italian style we took the plunge and went for a mega feast of four courses. Nothing particularly challenging for a Wednesday night I must say. To begin, we had a duo of bruschettas - one, a classic tomato and the other with friarielli (or Italian wild broccoli). Afterwords we had a wonderful seafood caserecce pasta dish (primo) with fresh clams and squid. It tasted just like the real stuff I would get in Italy. After, yes there was more (or a secondo), a huge fitto misto (which we shared) which is basically battered and fried seafood. The batter was so light and crisp, and served with lemon its a simple and easy dish that is difficult to top. Finally for desert was a home-made amarena cherry and amaretto cheesecake. It was oh so rich and creamy. Exquisite!!! All this was washed down with some rather darn fine Soave white wine, and the best part was the final bill, incredibly good value for money considering the quantity and the amazing quality of the food we had. I could not recommend this place enough. A real proper Italian restaurant, which is going straight into my top Italian eateries list. I simply cannot wait to go back.

Having visited the restaurant for years, celebrating all manner of things with my family, I can honestly say I consider it to be Paisley's best restaurant. The staff are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and they make each experience - always a culinary delight - truly excellent. American and Italian influences are married beautifully; the latter being (thankfully) far more prominent leaving the former as an interesting accent. The resultant atmosphere is inviting, warm, relaxed and a pleasure to dine in. The lighting in the back is perfect and really makes Cardosi's a great place for a special occasion whilst the booths are somewhat secluded and provide for an intimate retreat in which to enjoy an afternoon or evening with good company. The menu has developed over the years but some signature dishes remain popular with my family; the simple Penne Alfredo is pasta perfection and the goats' cheese bruschetta (one of the four or so bruschettas offered) is divine. Presentation is thoughtful and consistent no matter which service you're enjoying; this is a testament to the kitchen staff as dinner can be exceptionally busy. Value is excellent, especially at lunchtime when two courses can be had for £9.50. Evening and pre-theatre are very well priced and do not overly restrict the diner. The à la carte options can be a little pricey but I have yet to be anything less than impressed by the choices therefrom. Recently there have been a couple of duck dishes on both the evening and à la carte menus which have been superbly executed. The Coppa Scozia, which raises the humble vanilla ice cream to dizzying gastronomic heights with the addition of crumbled Scottish tablet and hot caramel sauce, stands out from the dessert menu (but is equally matched by the rich and decadent cheesecake). Heralded by many as Paisley's go-to place for any special occasion, Cardosi's is unrivalled in the town and can hold its own against many of the reputable Glasgow restaurants. Whether you go for lunch or dinner, with a crowd or your significant other, you can be sure you'll be enjoying the very best that Paisley has to offer in quality dining.

Amaretto struggled when it first opened in Bridge of Weir but now it has definitely hit its stride!…read more The food is proper tasty Italian goodness and the prices are great. You can get a 3 course lunch for under £15 and an evening main course is around £6. Don't even get me started on the delicious Italian desserts for £5, mmmm mmmm, what's even better? The delicious Italian waiters! If you're into the whole tall dark and handsome thing, which I most definitely am! Amaretto also does take-away which is great if you're fed up of the usual Chinese, Indian or Dominos Pizza options. However if you order take-away then you don't get to sit and ogle the waiters. I'm just mentioning it, but I totally don't do that myself of course. Amaretto also has live music nights and they are great. It's always very mellow stuff, jazz bands or pianists. That's PIANISTS! They are also converting the upstairs area into a functions suite so watch out for that.

It doesn't feel relaxed it would be more at home in a town! It's defo worth a try but!

It's always the way - having never visited here in the 5 years we've lived around the corner, we…read morewere pleasantly surprised by just how good the food was. We'd gone for a walk one sunny spring evening and ended up here. To be honest, I really wanted a fish supper but preferred the idea of dining in rather than a takeaway, so we decided to give it a try. One downside of this restaurant is that it's in the basement of the building, meaning that on a lovely sunny night you don't get to enjoy the sunshine. The decor could definitely do with updating as it is very casual. I looked at the menu and decided to have the pre-theatre (available all night on a Thursday) which is £13.95 for 2 course. There is a good choice of dishes (about 5 options of mains and starters). I opted for chicken liver pâté followed by mushroom and asparagus risotto. Graeme had a pizza, so we decided to get a cheesy garlic bread to share with our starters so he didn't steal all my pâté. The a la carte menu has pasta, pizza as well as meat and fish dishes. In all honesty I would have preferred one of the meat/fish mains but the prices were just too expensive for me, most coming in at over £15 for a main. Comparing these prices with decent city centre restaurants, I wouldn't expect to pay more on the south side and that's why this place loses a star. The pâté was a good dollop, served with crackers and bread as well as some salad and red onion chutney. Delicious, and a great size for a starter. The garlic bread was heavenly and had a huge amount of cheese on it which was just perfect. I really enjoyed the risotto as well - I've had a lot of bad risottos while dining out, and this wasn't one of them. Perfectly cooked, generously topped with Parmesan and lots of tasty mushrooms. I would have liked more asparagus but the pieces I did get were delicious and it was perfectly cooked, with the right amount of bite. We didn't have dessert and decided to walk home. The bill came in close to £50 due to the expensive drinks, which was a little disappointing. A small glass of rose was £4.95 and Graeme had a beer, so that pushed things up a little. I'm glad to say that we'd definitely go back and recommend it - the pre-theatre is a very good deal and I was really impressed by the cooking. It's great to find a great little restaurant right on your doorstep ... even if it's been there all along! (Added note, there's carparking behind the row of shops if you're driving, it can often be hard to get a spot on Ayr Road in the evening).
