Got in without a booking and had a most enjoyable meal, with complimentary bread and amaretto at the end. Highly recommended.

Arrived with 4 friends 6 minutes prior to opening. Turned away as told wouldn't be safe to allow us to sit ! Said just mopped the floor. Floor was dry.To our benefit we found a lovely resturant around the corner with fabulous service. ? Little Italy lost out on a good amount of money as we had lunch and 2 bottles of wine and cocktails.

First time back after a while & appreciate costs have gone up, but the scale of increase in prices was a surprise. Food was always great, so wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. Sadly the service was very inattentive & slow on a quiet night. A long list of cocktails, but no non-alcoholic ones at all seemed a missed trick too. Still decent, but no longer a standout & the service needs to match the prices.

Nice restaurant, good food, friendly staff. Would have given a 5 star rating but the prices were a bit high. £7 for a small bottle of unknown Italian lager is a bit extreme.

We had a lovely meal here - absolutely delicious! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was second to none. We loved it here and we’d definitely be back!!

The food was very tasty, but quite pricey. To me it seems a bit inhospitable to apply an extra charge if you would only have a starter as a main, even though we ordered some other side dishes for the table. I also ordered a small wine but was charged a large. It all felt a bit too much money oriented.

The lovely restaurant looks low key from the alley but is full of energy inside. We did not have a reservation but were lucky to be seated at the seats near the bar.The decor is full of taste, same as the food! The service was tentative. Will definitely come back again.
A week long golf trip started with dinner at this place. We came back 2 more times that week. The food and service is fantastic. I would highly recommend. Do make a reservation, its reputation is well deserved.

We stopped here for a lovely lunch, the service was exceptional and the food was delicious. We enjoyed a starter to share, mains were lasagne (amazing), Rob had chicken with salmon and prawns and he said that was a combo he hadn’t had before - thoroughly w joyed it. Washed down with a couple of rose wines and bottles of beer. Hope to dine here again soon. X

This is the best and friendliest Italian restaurant in Saint Andrews.The food was fantastic, fresh and very authentic.We loved The Manager and his wonderful team. As our son has just started studying at Saint Andrew's, this restaurant will be one of our favorite to visit for the next few years. Highly recommend a visit, but try to book beforehand as it is very popular.

High end Italian cuisine.Possibly the best brushetta I've ever had.

If I find myself in St. Andrews (Scotland) again, I’ll skip Little Italy. The service was acceptable, and they did two things well: a Caprese salad and sautéed spinach. The pizza was ok. They did one thing poorly: despite an extensive bottle wine list, they offered three reds by the glass. The two we tried were a bad Chianti and a mediocre Montepulciano. The one thing which drives my low rating is the inexplicable up-charge to split a pizza (10 pounds!!). They mention the up-charge for “main courses” on the menu, and maybe a small up-charge to split a big main course would be understandable. But pizza is a meal everyone on earth over the age of 25 splits. They had a chance to waive it, and refused.
