I had a delightful experience at La Banca Italian while visiting from the US. The staff was incredibly welcoming, enhancing the warm ambiance of the restaurant. Their attentiveness and friendly service made the evening truly enjoyable. As for the food, each dish was a burst of authentic Italian flavors. From the pasta to the desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. Spaghetti and meatballs. Mozzeralla fritta, and chocolate cake were all amazing. Highly recommend La Banca Italian for a memorable dining experience with exceptional service and delicious cuisine!

Food good, far too noisy with staff answering phone, cutlery being dried and dropped into a container. Couldn't hold down a descent conversation with my sister. This has to be done in the back shop. Enjoyed the food, but not the noise that went with it!!!!

I went out for dinner last night and honestly the food was amazing. Best calamari I have had in the uk. The tiramisu was amazing and the special cocktail in offer was as well. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The decor was really nice and the vibe was great, was really good to see such a busy restaurant with so many happy customers. I would recommend people to go here to try their amazing authentic Italian food.

Food quality was very poor, had prawns to start size of my thumbnail, pasta sauce was like soup, garlic focaccia was the only nice thing about the food! Staff very good, stuck in the corner between two tables that had to squeeze past to get into, also way over priced for the quality.

What a perfect cosy place! Superb food we had the prawns and pate to start, the amazing salmon and milanese for mains and shared a delicious marmalade lemon and orange cheesecake for dessert. Phenomenal. A lovely primitovo to share and just perfect service. Must be around 30 covers and 2 staff foh who know how to make people welcome and give a great relaxed and authentic service. Food was like lovely home made italian. Faultless. Seek it out. We had been at another place in Paisley and left because there was violence! This place should be sought out. Very reasonably priced too! Thanks a million for saving our night.

LaBanca is a lovely place to go for a bite to eat. The atmosphere is good and the staff could not be nicer. They are so attentive and kind towards the additional needs of my son. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Best team around not to mention the food is delicious!
I really wanted to like it, but it was just very average. Initial impressions of the decor weren’t great, hoped the food would make up for it, and again just very average. The staff were nice no issue there.Other notes, the black pepper on a very strange looking cheap plastic trolley isn’t appetising, the dirty dishes going through the toilet door ditto. One of the strangest things was the chef seemed to turn the lights off when he finished cooking? So the whole room lit up and dimmed, on and off all night.I wanted to enjoy it so much but to put it shortly “meh”Sadly 1st and last time i think.

The food was actually really good, portion sizes were generous. It's maybe a little pricey for where it is and it was pretty cold in the restaurant but the person serving was lovely, would definitely go back

I visited La Blanca with my husband. We have been several times and the meals and service is always perfect. I have never given a review before but after our last visit I felt the staff had gone over and above with patience and service with a very large group of people that I had to write this review. My husband and I arrived just before the large table got their main courses. As we looked at the menu the staff started to serve the mains to the group. The waitress called out Risotto Montecarlo four times before a hand went up. She had walked the length of the table calling it out to no response. On her third time of walking the table a hand went up. She came back another twice with the exact same meal with this happening. All the time smiling. I personally felt this was extremely ignorant of the group as they clearly saw her with the meals in hand and ignored her. The last meal to be served was again. Risotto Montecarlo. Over half the table had ordered it, again she walked and recalled the table being ignored and as she went to the end of the table a very ignorant young woman laughed and said “oh I suppose that’s mine”. She then took our order with a smile and I said I didn’t understand how she could put up with that behaviour and she just smiled and said it was part of what she did. When they finished their meals they sat talking with no food or drinks whilst other people arrived to eat at the table they were now occupying for a chat. I have to say the staff were so friendly and professional which is a real credit to them as the party was oblivious to the waiting guests. The restaurant was extremely busy and every table was filled. It was obvious that the people arriving were for their tables as everyone else was still eating. Credit to the staff. Our meal was beautiful. The rigatoni amatriciana, the spaghetti carabonara and the focaccia bread was our highlight that night. I would just like to see the staff get credit for their service. The meals are beautiful too but how the staff do their jobs and keep smiling is amazing. Well done La Blanca team.

My wife and I had an excellent meal, lovely fresh vegetables perfectly cooked, pan fried sea bass was delicious as was the polo pepe, would thoroughly recommend searching out this little gem on Neilston Road. Pleasing comfortable interior with quiet ambience. Two mains and a bottle of wine for under £55 great value!
Very good food, lovely service, we will definitely go back there again.
