Stefano’s Italian

I’d had this place saved in my bookmarks for a while, as my mum had driven past it and told me about it. When I went to look it up on Unilocal then, I discovered it didn’t exist! So I added it!
Colin and I went in today on his lunch break, as I saw on the website they have a lunch menu that’s £9.95 for two courses between 12 – 2. Suits me! The restaurant is located on Uddingston Main St so it’s pretty easy to get to from Hamilton, and our stumbles rumbled so in we went!
The restaurant itself is very small and could probably only seat around ²⁰⁄₂₅ covers. There was only two other tables in when we arrived so we were seated in a nice booth next to the window. The docking station on a shelf played Italian music, and I really quite liked the ambience created. It’s a sleek looking restaurant, with neutral colours and at least 200 wine bottles all over the room. There was only one waiter on and one chef, possibly Stefano, and as soon as we went in, menus were presented to us. As most lunch menus are, I expected this one to be quite limited and I wasn’t wrong. In the end Colin went for the Soup of the Day which was minestrone, and spaghetti carbonara as his main. I chose chicken liver pâté to start, and the Fish of the Day as my main, which was lemon sole.
The food came out briskly and when we needed drinks we got them. The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The fish was wonderfully cooked and Colin enjoyed his carbonara, but couldn’t finish as it was quite filling. They were happy enough to give us it away though (and I may or may not be munching it as I type this…)
All in all a good meal to be had in here! I think I’ll probably head back to try their full menu for dinner as it’s quite decent looking as well!
