Poldino's

If you're in Aberdeen and are seeking an authentic Italian culinary experience then Poldino's Restaurant and Pizzeria is the place to visit. Comfortable and elegant surroundings inside the restaurant. Service staff that were friendly and helpful. A comprehensive menu to cater for many taste and likes. We began with salt and pepper calamari and insalata caprese. Both fresh and delicious. For main we tried the Panciotti Capesante e Gamberi and the Spaghetti Puttanesca. Both fabulous and as good as you will find in fine restaurants in Italy. For Italian food in Aberdeen Poldino's is highly recommended

If you’re searching for an authentic Italian experience that blends impeccable food with warm, exceptional service, look no further than Poldino’s Restaurant and Pizzeria. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed as if we were part of the family. Our waiter, a wonderful gentleman who has been part of Poldino’s for 27 years, was not just attentive but also incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. His hospitality alone is a reason to visit again. Now, let’s talk about the food. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I was absolutely delighted by the gluten-free pasta Bolognese. Rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. But the showstopper was the lasagna according to my colleague…her words, “simply divine and the best I’ve ever had.” Poldino’s isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. One that I’ll be raving about for a long time to come. Highly recommended!

4.5/5 for me. The food was brilliant. Portion sizes were good and the steak was cooked perfectly. Calamari was underwhelming. The restaurant was a great space to sit in, ambience was good. The main complaint would be the service was lacking somewhat. We were sat often without menus or drinks, it felt as if we were forgotten about on a couple of occasions.

Poldinos is a small, family run Italian restaurant in the heart of Aberdeen, it's great to try these independent places as they usually are second to none. I booked Poldinos for Valentines Day and was not disappointed, the staff are so friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make your meal one to remember. They have all your pasta & pizza favourites, we had the bruschetta to start and then the picante pizza and spaghetti carbonara, it was all served in great time, roasting hot and well presented with a great taste. It was really good value and is a hidden gem in the city centre and is one to try if your looking for an Italian.
