Review Piccola Italia Moniaive - Moniaive

Great place to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. Quality tasty food and good selection on the menu. The staff are attentive and give good service. Recommend the Scallop starter with black pudding and carrot puree The seafood stew is not only very tasty but has an excellent variety of seafood. This place is now my go to restaurant for our night out despite it being a 40 minute drive from where we live.

Whilst the menu has no mention of any vegan dishes, the restaurant are happy to offer vegan versions of (some) of their dishes - you just have to ask. We went with a vegan version of their Fungi and Vegetable pizzas so that kept it pretty easy. The place was buzzing and the staff were friendly.

It's fantastic to find such an excellent restaurant, not too far away from where we live, that offers a high class menu delivering high class food. Really good. The table service was akin to what you would find in an expensive city restaurant with one hand behind the back as food is served. Yes, the whole ambience is much more casual than city restaurants but, for me, little touches like that make a difference. It took us around 45 minutes to get there but, who cares? When you find somewhere 'that' good it's well worth the journey! The food was piping hot, very attractively displayed on the plate, and full of flavour. Prices, very good. Don't hesitate....

Always really good food, atmosphere and service. My go to when in Moniaive and surrounding areas.

Stunning food in a beautiful location. We are holidaying in Dumfries and Galloway and came here on recommendation of the property we are staying at. Had the calamari and prawn cocktail to start, both excellently prepared and presented, the garlic flatbread was heaven though, light, not greasy at all. Mains of bolognase pizza and carbonara did not disappoint, the freshly cooked food just bursts with flavour without being overpowering. The Tiramisu was just delicious, the best I've ever tasted. The food took only slightly longer to arrive than at other places and it is well worth the wait, grab a cocktail and let the chefs work their magic! A definite hidden gem a must for if you are in the area or passing through!

Visited some friends in the area for the weekend. Went to Piccola Italia for dinner and loved it! Food, service and price all great. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

We enjoyed a lovely meal, the king prawns were the best I've ever had and my partner enjoyed the meatballs that just melted in your mouth. I would highly recommend this little restaurant was excellent.

Amazing food!! The restaurant accommodated 9 of us at the last minute for my daughter's birthday and the service and food was just as good as if we had pre booked. Highly recommend!!!

Delicious meal, excellent service and really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Place was buzzing with a full house but relaxed atmosphere. Food was first class with matching service from friendly staff.

Back again , this little place is amazing love the food and the friendly atmosphere . Can't praise this place enough

A big thank you from the Bone family for making Father's Day Sunday an extra special day! The food was scrumptiously outstanding and the service from staff was top notch! So impressed, we are going to book the restaurant again when my daughter returns from Australia in July! Thanks again...Willie

I was there recently for a family dinner. The food was outstanding and fresh and the staff are extremely friendly. From the delicious starters and the succulent main course ending with a heavenly dessert, all this basked in a warm and lively atmosphere, this is THE place to be at any time of year. I firmly recommend this to anyone looking for Michelin Star Food at an affordable price. I cannot wait to visit again. An exquisite delight <3
