Lucano — Restaurant in Scotland

Had a meal in Lucano when visiting Orkney a couple months ago. The food was edible but flavourless, I'm sure you could have found better in a supermarket freezer aisle - which is obviously where they sourced their garlic bread. Italian cuisine is some of the tastiest the world has to offer, and is fairly easy to throw together - there's certainly no excuse for not making your own garlic bread - so for an Italian restaurant, Lucano was a huge disappointment. Service overall was slow and unattentive. The younger staff at least were very pleasant, however the older woman who seemed to be in charge was a master of disapproving looks and never opened her mouth to utter a word to us, though she hovered around what she clearly saw as 'select' customers and smarmed all over them...I think we got the better side of the deal!

Cheaper, more basic restaurants we ate in during our stay in Kirkwall, such as the Orkney Hotel (which was an absolute dive inside) provided us with friendly service and delicious, high quality food - would go back for more of their seafood linguini any day!

Bottom line - no reason to waste the chance of a delicious meal on a...

On a trip from Glasgow to Orkney for a few days. My group and I popped into this Italian restaurant for a quick coffee and shared slice of pizza. Turns out to be the best coffee and pizza I have tried in quite some time. I am a particular fan of pizza's and have tried quite a few, including many highly regarded Glasgow restaurants but it's hard to find an authentic Italian made pizza these days. I certainly wasn't expecting it to taste as good and reasonable prices.

I ended going back for a second time, partially to check if maybe I was exaggerating in my own mind how nice it was the first time. So I went back for a full pizza and can honestly say it's one of the nicest pizza's I've tried, along with the coffee and lovely house red wine.

Good friendly service, clean restaurant and only wish I had more time to try some of the other food on the menu. Whoever cooks the pizza certainly knows what their doing and is a more than a match for any pizza I've had with all the variety available in Glasgow....

We came here as two for a business meal.. Absolutely shocked by the prices.. Examples: calamari starter over £13, pizza £18... Bottle of beer £8... These are simply grossly over inflated prices..

The place mats were worn out so the table just looked scruffy...

I was speaking to my colleague when the waiter just interrupted our conversation without any politeness....

I had my main dish linguini with some seafood.. The serving was minimal and swimming in grease.. Only had two scallops in it.. I was left feeling hungry..

The parmigiano cheese was served via a cheap plastic grinder.. This should always be available to diners in a dish with a spoon so each person can serve as desired..

When the bill came it was incorrect - mistake or deliberate? Lucky we checked...!

Overall a business which has increased prices to the absolute limit in the post covid market..

Final opinion:...
