Buon Appetito

Delighted to have found this place! We are not local to the area but found ourselves in the arcade for a wander on a Saturday lunchtime. My son noticed they sold fresh Pam ales and we decided to pop in and have lunch. Our first visit but I’m sure not our last. The food was plentiful, piping hot, delicious and entirely home cooked! It had that nostalgic “just like gran made” quality! The mushy peas are superb!! The service was equally as good or perhaps even better than the food!!

I've been coming to this wee cafe since I was a baby with my mum and dad. Now I come along with my own babies over the years anytime I am in the arcade. Always the place to go with my family and friends. The staff make the place what it is, the food is brilliant always. The atmosphere is always great. Love their tea, coffee and cakes too. This place is like the heart of Rutherglen to me. A wee hidden gem. One place that still remains over all these years, and no wonder.

Brilliant wee cafe. Staff always so friendly. Always get steak pie even for breakfast. So good! Keep up the great work guys!

One of Rutherglen's hidden gems, fantastic food, definitely a must. Parking 50p for two hours. Reasonably priced, fantastic lunch. My new favourite place, wholesome food. Update 5th March 2025 Happened to be in the area, it's been a wee while. Fantastic as ever ♥️

My 86 year old mother again made us go out of our way, driven across the city, to go to Buon Appetito for lunch, because the staff are "always so nice" to her. Liz and her colleagues always welcome us with cheery words and good food, though she only popped in today. We were looked after today by Carol and Chloe. The restaurant has had a makeover which also is good to see. Thank you again Buon Appetito for looking after my Mum so well. Seems even though my last review was over a year ago, I seem only able to update/edit that one and not add a new one..
