Tasty Seafood pasta special, garlic bread, house white wine, 1 happy girl. I was eating solo, a little uncomfortable walking into restaurant on a Saturday evening. Staff were warm and welcoming. Food was tasty, price was fair. Good service. I'd return if in area again. Thank you for a memorable meal.
Stopped in Stonehaven and chose this place with its 4.3 Google rating, but left disappointed. Greeted warmly by friendly staff who accommodated us, yet the head chef/owner was abrupt about our pram before we’d even had a chance to fold it, setting a poor tone. Throughout the dining experience he came across as overbearing with his young staff, which was uncomfortable to watch. We ordered lasagne, cannelloni, a chicken dish and garlic bread. Unfortunately, most of the food seemed microwaved—dry meat, no flavour, and lacking the freshness you’d expect from Italian cooking. The chicken was slightly better, but overall the dishes were bland and poorly presented. Not the authentic, quality Italian experience we’d hoped for.
A friend and I had a very enjoyable meal here. Traditional decor and excellent quality food really made it a great choice for anyone in the area and that's coming from someone who has high standards when dining out
Amazing food and really accommodating for my child who literally just wanted pasta and sauce! Tuna steak was amazing and the lasagne is definitely a highlight! Lovely wee local place.
The kids had been craving Italian after a week in Scotland, so we stopped at Gino’s for lunch after spending the morning at the castle, and we are so glad we did! The service was so friendly and the food just great! Easy parking on the street too! We will definitely be back!
Went over for lunch and the staff was courteous to accommodate a chicken based menu. The chicken was prepared fresh and nice. Enjoyed a hot bowl of lentil soup, a nice hot meal and would recommend the place for anyone visiting Dunnotar castle. The parking is around the roadside for a stipulated 45minutes. Washroom was clean and alright. The dishes - chicken cooked in tomato sauce and chicken +mushroom white sauce.
Very cozy Italian restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Tagliatelle al salmone was delicious.
One of the worse restaurant. We ordered two pizzas. They gave us supermarketbfrozen pizza baked in hurry, both were partially frozen. Restaurant owner knew the that we were not there for such bad food. I left pizza without eating. He was only interest was money.
Really nice food and, after sending pics of the menu to my very italy-savvy partner, very authentic too! Actual garlic bread rather than a baguette with garlic butter on it, etc. Would definitely recommend.
Gino's has become a bit of a tradition in my family: most weekends I will meet my parents here for lunch. The menu is straightforward: either simple lunchtime staples such as baguettes and baked potatoes, or classic Italian dishes. There is plenty of choice on the normal menu and usually a couple of specials as well, which tend to be a bit more 'exotic' (lobster linguine with garlic, chilli, white wine and cherry tomatoes, for example). The bruschetta is excellent: crusty bread with well seasoned tomatoes, basil and garlic. I usually have the penne arribiata, which has a nice chilli kick to it (if you like it spicy, always best to mention that). Rounded off with a soft drink and a double espresso for approx. £15, it is definitely value for money. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming and all covid-19 precautions are taken. It may be a smaller restaurant, but the tables are still well spaced out.
