"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..."
