La Piazza in South Lanarkshire

Visited La Piazza today and was very disappointed, we were a family group of 11 & had pre booked the table for 9 plus 2 highchairs, when we arrived we were shown to our table by an elderly lady, we then discovered they’d misunderstood the booking & had a table for 7 plus 2 highchairs allotted, except they only had one highchair available. I was made to feel this was my fault & I should have been clearer when booking. They did grudgingly extend the table to fit us all & my granddaughter aged 2 sat on a car booster seat to reach the table leaving the highchair for her 14month old cousin.My 6yr old grandson has autism & struggles to sit still for any length of time, I explained this to the elderly lady who appeared to be in charge and asked if I could take him onto the covered outdoor terrace so he could let off steam whilst we waited for everyone to arrive without disturbing other diners, again very grudgingly she allowed us outside stating it wasn’t safe in case they fell over…??In due course our food arrived, starters were excellent as was the childrens spaghetti bolognese, however, when our main courses arrived we were somewhat disappointed at the size of the portions, 2 adults ordered lasagne which was bland, dry & smaller than the kids meals. My daughter ordered chicken & mushroom risotto and had to send it back as it had a strong citrus flavour & an over-riding taste of butter, I suspect the butter used was rancid. The lady in charge came over to ask what was wrong with it, stated that only 1/2 a spoon of butter had been used as per the recipe and offered her another, my daughter declined this & the lady left with no other comment.We felt very uncomfortable the whole time we were there and the elderly lady in charge made it quite obvious we weren’t welcome. Needless to say we didn’t have dessert or coffee and we certainly won’t be back!Such a shame!

Lovely meal and always great service. Our favourite local restaurant

Great food and fantastic service. Well recommended!!

We came here for takeout pizza, the pizza was fine but I wouldn’t venture to call it amazing which is a shame.The menu is a little basic, the pizzas basically have one topping on them, and the pepperoni pizza had a total of 12 slices of meat on it.The garlic bread with mozzarella was the best thing we got.

You dont have to wait for pre-theatre!! Thats right, thia restaurant is so reasonably priced. Food is great, staff are welcoming and the wine(and gin) is plentiful
