"We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife 's, Angela 's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials ' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino 's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino 's singing 'Happy Birthday ' with their quirky horn wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille! Yet again, Nino 's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room ' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you ' to all at Nino 's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao."

"We had a wonderful meal while on a weekend away in Stirling. Despite being incredibly busy with the pre Christmas crowds, the manager managed to find us a table for 8pm. Serving staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Our food was fantastic and full of flavour the arrabiata was especially good and the bruschetta excellent. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming and a fellow diner giving an astounding rendition of Nessun Dorma added to the festivities! The staff also deserve commendation for their excellent handling of some extremely drunk customers who having complained about an aspect of their meal (didn’t stop them from eating it,or consuming a fair bit of wine) decided to try to leave without paying. We were close enough to their table to hear this being said. They complained to the server and demanded the manager come out to explain things. Upon speaking with the manager one individual said they weren’t paying (not even one assumes for the wine). This particular individual was fairly belligerent. The manager informed them that police would be called if they refused to pay and after some back and fore the party grudgingly agreed to pay something towards the meal. The fact that this happened in front of other diners must have made the situation more awkward for staff but they dealt with it very well, apologising to the remaining customers afterwards (no apology needed). We will definitely return should we be in Stirling again. Lovely place,"

"I last reviewed the Navarra in 2013 in glowing terms, and since then it has become our special place, the first choice for birthdays and anniversaries. We were looking forward to trying it again now it has been extended and refurbished, but were very disappointed. The food is still EXCELLENT but you can 't relax and enjoy it. We barely had chance to open the new menu before the waiter arrived to take our order. We asked for more time, but a couple of minutes later he was back. I said we weren 't ready to order and he replied, What? Not even starters? He returned yet again before we were ready to order. We were eating early and only three tables were occupied so we couldn 't see what the hurry was. We usually like to see the specials board but there wasn 't one, and we didn 't learn till afterwards that there was a printed specials menu that we were not given. Once the food arrived, the pressure didn 't let up. I object to staff trying to clear my plate before I 've finished eating! This didn 't just happen once, but FOUR times, twice with the starter and twice with the main. This is totally unacceptable and we didn 't order dessert because we felt so unwelcome. At one time you could linger and enjoy your meal, but not now. Coupled with the loud music, this is not the restful venue we knew and loved. Sadly, we will now have to find a new favourite place. They were in a hurry to get rid of us, so we are in no hurry to go back."
