Azzurro Italian Arbroath - Angus

My husband and I frequently dine at this restaurant and always enjoy the excellent food. The menu offers a good variety of options. It is a lovely place for a night out and we consider it to be a hidden gem in Arbroath.

My partner and I were at this restaurant on Saturday 5th August and the meal was fantastic. As the restaurant was small it had a homely feeling to it and there was only 2 members of staff, 1 waitress and the owner. The owner spoke to us long enough not to intrude on our evening and informed us that they make their bread on the premises. The food was absolutely amazing. As they do not have a liquor licence at the moment you can bring your own which most people that were dining that night there were doing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I 've briefly been in Rome and enjoyed an excellent 'Spaghetti Gambas ', little did I think such a fine example of Italian cuisine be defeated by a restaurant in Arbroath. At Azzuro myself, my Mother an Uncle 'Big ' Davey had an Italian feast that perhaps trumped all others before it. The place is very old school, reminiscent of the restaurant Gene Hunt and gang hung-out in 80s set 'Ashes to Ashes ' and I mean that as a compliment. No alcohol license, but a BYOB where corkage is applied with the corner shop ten yards away particularly handy for this. Food is tremendous and all made in house, my lobster ravioli was immense and the auld dear 's Spaghetti Gambas (King Prawns) was vastly superior to its Roman equivalent. Uncle Davey 's tagliatelle wi ' meatballs looked excellent too. The chef 's real talent lies in sauce, the creamy tomato one covering my ravioli was rich and tasty without overpowering the subtle flavour of the filling. Service is fantastic too, with owner Roberto being the most genial host and his waiter polite and courteous. My Uncle is somewhat of a regular since retiring to a caravan on the outskirts and Roberto treats him wonderfully, as I 'm sure all returning costumers are. His complimentary limoncello is a lovely final touch to an amazing evening. Only open Friday Saturday 4-10, booking required to avoid disappointment...

Great restaurant with fantastic food and a wide variety of choices. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the service was outstanding. Our group of three couples had plenty of time to enjoy our meal and chat. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Arbroath.

I cannot speak highly enough of this Italian restaurant. I have visited multiple times and have never been let down. The food is consistently excellent and authentic, despite the slightly outdated atmosphere. I highly recommend trying it if you are in search of a delicious Italian meal. They do charge a small corkage fee as they do not have a liquor license.
