We attended on Saturday 20th Sept 25 with a family of 5 to celebrate our mums special birthday. The staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome. We ordered starters the brushetta was delicious then came the mains. We ordered a varied amount of dishes and one tasted better than the others. The portions were generous. The birthday girl received her desert on the house and the staff provided us with side plates to enjoy the birthday cake we brought with us. They offered us lemoncello on the house... We would highly recommend Pandamo and we will return very soon.

Overview
Padano is a casual Italian restaurant on Main Street in Rutherglen, opened in 2017 by Paul and Anueta. Everything is cooked from scratch. It started as the new kid on the block and has become a local favourite. The menu covers bruschetta and focaccia, small plates, more than a dozen pizzas, pasta, risotto, gnocchi, and mains such as pollo milanese and sea bass. Most pizzas and pastas cost about £11 to £17. The Rigatoni del Capo, a chicken pasta, is one of the most-ordered dishes. The Padano deal gets you two pizzas or pastas for £19 to eat in, from 4pm to 7pm Wednesday and Thursday, 12pm to 2pm on Friday, and 12pm to 6pm on Sunday. It's open Wednesday and Thursday from 4pm to 9.30pm, and Friday to Sunday from 12pm to 9.30pm. It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Bookings open two months ahead, and groups of more than six should contact the restaurant directly. Gluten-free bases and pasta and vegan cheese are available for a small supplement.
Reviews
A very nice dining experience on a quiet Saturday night. Food was of a good quality I particularly liked the sausage pizza due to the fact that it was cooked in a pizza oven. Friendly and efficient staff, but the atmosphere was dampened due to the lack of customers ( we ate at 8, but it was early February). Music was contemporary which we liked.
Read on Google MapsA most enjoyable SATURDAY lunch. Drinks prepared to a very high standard. Starter & MAIN,DESSERT DELICIOUS.. NEXT TIME SHALL ASK FOR CHILDS PORTION. SERVICE EXCELLENT Music so nice and at a pleasant volume .. Thanks PADANO.
Read on Google MapsReally nice risotto and pizza. Pistachio meringue needs a rethink it was hard and very dry, but lovely staff, free liqueur at end and my salmon risotto was delicious. Wine nicely chilled. 2 courses and bottle wine for 2 was 60 quid so very reasonable.
Read on Google MapsHad a lovely evening in Padanos last Saturday evening…it was my partners 70 th birthday. The Staff were amazing and went out of their way to make the celebration very special.. The service and food were fab . So good in fact I would like to make a visit to Padanos a regular occurrence …. It’s a small Italian restaurant with a big heart Thank You Padanos
