We had a lovely time at Prezzo and used their half price gluten free Wednesdays offer. The staff were all really nice. We were served mainly by Chelsea, she is lovely, very attentive and helpful. Thank you, we will be back.

Amazing experience! Great food and great service, our waiter Charlie was always on hand when needed! Make sure you read the dessert menu and beat Charlie at rock paper scissors for 2-4-1 dessert like I did

We dined here after seeing an offer for 50% off so thought we'd give it a try. We had pizza and calzone and we both said they were the best we'd tasted. The staff were all lovely and Chloe was fantastic. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful building. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had some of the best Italian food in a while here. We had a Goat's Cheese pizza, a Chicken Mushroom Rigatoni, a Crab and Lobster ravioli, and one serving of Tiramisu. Would rate everything but the ravioli a 10/10. The ravioli was undercooked and felt raw. The Tiramisu was out of the world. Would definitely recommend trying it. 10/10 for Ambience and service. PS: this place housed Gusto, another Italian restaurant.

The scenery of the prezzo restaurant is lovely!! A nice calming environment, with Lovely staff who take the time to talk to you (I may have gotten into a conversation about fantasy books with a member of staff but it certainly enhanced my experience). The food came out relatively quickly and it was delicious, my regards to the chef. The dessert was gorgeous. Overall I had an amazing time and given that this was my first visit to Scotland the next time I come back prezzo Italian will be seeing me again.

Last time I ate at this restaurant it was Gusto. Now it has become Prezzo. How the world turns in a short span…. Change. So disconcerting yet so constant. Whispered memories of a thing now lost. Anyhow, the location is good - it’s near my hotel! Seemed to be popular with American tourists; must be near their hotel too. Not eaten at a Prezzo since 2019. They spent many years after that ‘calling out my name’ on a daily basis by email, which I found off-putting. They’ve stopped that now though and have also changed their name slightly (adding ‘Italian’), so time to give them another go. The layout of this one is ok, but it does have that large central bench table thing, which is a bit odd. It was odd when it was in Gusto and, since it’s still here, it’s odd now. Is there much demand for communal dining in this type of restaurant? Anyhow, seated straight away and the place was quiet, so a good start. A Deerdog felt welcome. The menu has changed a fair bit but still has good range. Big mozzarella sticks to start (just two, but enough), followed by a spicy pizza. The pizza here has a large crust but is otherwise decent. Eating this one, I didn’t find it that spicy - until I found all the chilli in the world on my last piece…. Luck apparently No pudding this time, but they do tiramisu so there is that. There is a double tiramisu available if you’re feeling in the mood. The beer is Peroni. I didn’t indulge this time as it was a Wednesday. But still, Peroni. Overall worth a visit. What you’d expect but done well and consistently. If I go back, I’ll try the crab ravioli.
