Took the family - all five of us - to this tiny restaurant on Rosemount Place for dinner last…read morenight and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted by the Italian owner and I felt a bit guilty as he asked a couple who had finished their meal if they were ready to leave in order to seat us. The owner - who in his authentic accent corrected our poor attempts at Italian while ordering - was friendly and took our starters order first. Garlic bread, bruschetta, melon with Italian ham, and Caprese salad were all good - the girls especially loved the garlic bread. The wine by the glass he told us was San Genovese and was As the restaurant name tells you, the main course is pasta - he had many specials in addition to the regular menu items. We each had a plate of penne pasta with a different topping. The Marinara had clams and prawns, my Rustica had eggplant and anchovies, my wife's Alfredo was cream based with ham delight, and the girls had simple pastas with fresh Italian sausage. The owners son, was the cook and he did a nice job in his closet sized kitchen we could see from our table. The desserts were also good, lemoncello, cannelloni, and a chocolate ice cream with hazel nuts that was excellent. Give this little restaurant a try when you are looking for a nice plate of pasta in a friendly - but small - place.

While we were down at duff house examining the beautiful architecture we came across a little ice cream shop called "the candy box" as you go inside you smell a putrid fish scent, might have been the day but me, my wife and kids were gagging from the smell. Me and my wife ordered a mint chocolate chip ice cream but the kids wanted a waffle with vanilla ice cream. We had a young women at the till and she was very rude and unkind but we tried our best to be respectful. When we get our ice cream the young women says "that will be £17 please" I was shocked at the price since we only got one scoop on each cone. We exited the shop with our goody's and sat on a near by bench, we were enjoying our ice cream until my son tells me that he sees something green on his food. I discovered that it was actually mold on it, I was disgusted (as you would expect) and decided to go back to the shop and complain, the worker shouted right in my face and told me to never come back here. Very disrespectful and disgraceful, that's why I will give the candy box a 1 star
