As Americans they offered us a take out bag for what I could not finish. I am delighted!!! Ambiance transported me to a small bistro in any European city. Certainly competes with the best.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and there is always a relaxing ambience, which makes a great intimate dinner, either with your partner or with a family. At first when you enter the restaurant you are seated in a little section designated for pre-drinks and nibbles before being taken through to the main restaurant for dinner, where the food is served not long after being sat down. This is great as means can have relaxing chat before being sat down for dinner. The menu is in Italian, with English underneath, with a large focus on beef, chicken and seafood. This restaurant is suited to kids as the chefs will make anything plain if you ask for it. Furthermore, this restaurant has a dessert trolley with all homemade fresh Italian puddings and you can choose there and then which one takes your fancy. I would highly recommend this place for a truly special dinner.

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 just pizzas and pastas but also different veal, beef and fish dishes you normally don't get at Italians in the UK. Based on this, this restaurant is a more than solid 5/5.
