This Italian restaurant in the heart of Shawlands is great for families and also for couples or those looiing for a ‘special night out’.There are two eating areas, upstairs as you enter is the more informal dining area, where kids are very welcome, while downstairs is the ‘a la carte’ restaurant, perfect for that special occasion,Upstairs there is a wide range if Italian dishes available and the portions are good value for money, my daughters favourite is thier home made four cheeses pasta,while my sons enjoy the large pizza selection,it is one of the few places we all always enjoy, the staff are friendly and helpful and prices are reasonable.Their desserts are fantastic too!
Downstairs the menu is more extensive and their fish courses are great, they stilloffer pasta and pizza dishes if you prefer,booking is advisable for this part of the restaurant,especially on weekends

This small cafe dinerr is easliy missed but is well worth a visit, from the outside it loks tiny and possibly a bit dated, but inside the owner has done a good job, it is bright,clean and airy,the food is all home made and there are numerous offers each day,He also offers both large and small meals to suit different sized appetites, kids are made to feel welcome,although I didn’t notice any high chairs for younger kids, and there are stairs at the entrance so maybe not pram friendly.I would suggest avoiding the lunchtime rush if possible as he also does take away and delivery services for local businesses,and it can get extremely hectic.The prices are reasonable, variety fantastic, meal sizes great,when he is not busy the owner is always available for a chat and can give good info on local places
