"I visited Dunoon for the first time, it was an unplanned trip so didn’t have a restaurant booked. Many were full and we came across “Rio” like others have said, now I know why. The meals arrived, mine was ok, my partners pizza was swimming in oil and was dripping on to the plate. Throughout the meal the waiter appeared to be very stressed although there was only a few tables in, constant comments were made about others not helping him and even personal remarks about people’s children who had got up and ran to the toilet. He stated “this isn’t a play area” etc which fair enough I understand but it’s really unprofessional to be making remarks in front of others. If something has to be said about telling children to sit or be accompanied let the parent know and not everyone else trying to enjoy a dining experience. In all honestly we both felt very uncomfortable throughout our meal with cutlery plates etc being slammed down at the serving station and constant huffs and puffs and rants from the waiter which carried on throughout our entire meal. When I asked for the bill while my partner was at the restroom I’m sure I heard him mutter something about “being on my phone” but can’t be sure. Every time he passed our table he was making comment about something. We would have stayed for another drink or so but in all honesty it was the most stressful meal out and didn’t want to point out the poor food or ask for anything for the fear of angering someone further. I really didn’t want to write a poor review, but this happened a few days ago and to be honest is still annoying me and really has dampened my experience of visiting Dunoon for the first time."

We recently had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. We ordered pizzas for pick-up to ensure they would be hot, but when we got home, we found that they were thin, dried out, and overcooked. The toppings were sparse, with barely any pepperoni or olives on my Margherita pizza. My wife's pizza had all the cheese on one side, leaving the other side practically cheese-less. The garlic bread she ordered was old, stale, and burnt. The restaurant was empty, and it seems that the quality has declined significantly since our last visit many years ago. The menu now includes more curry dishes than traditional Italian options. It's a shame, as the staff were friendly and helpful.

Not many places to eat in Dunoon and most aren 't receptive to walk-ins, tried rio as it was quiet, now we know why..... Upon entering, we were greeted with immediate, under the breath, complaining about no staff and little assistance within the restaurant, was rudely pointed in the direction of some free tables while further negative utterings were made, we picked a table, not sure if it was, again, causing annoyance.... while browsing the menu a larger group entered, had clearly booked, for birthday celebration, to which further, under the breath mutterings ensued 'more for me to do myself ' 'I 'll just make the food myself too ' etc. etc. overall all this just exasperated a visit to the a...

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"
