Benvenuto!  Welcome to a true taste of Italy. DELICIOUS, natural, simple and satisfying … Italian cuisine is renowned the world over, but true Italian cuisine is not so easy to find outside of Italy. 

Unless, of course, you come to Primo, where owner and chef George Ashcroft has earned a reputation for providing dishes so inspired by the best of Italy that he was once asked to run an Italian kitchen and restaurant … by an Italian!

At Primo you can savour meals that an Italian would appreciate – freshly made every day, with only hand-chosen ingredients of the highest quality, including the Italian pasta, Italian flour, even Italian tomatoes.  Our wine list, naturally, is entirely Italian.

Whatever you choose from our menu, whether it is a meal for a special occasion, a no-nonsense sandwich or a relaxed meal with the children, be assured that everything is prepared with total dedication to the original intentions of Italian cuisine: brilliant flavours and textures redolent of one of the world’s most beautiful, romantic countries, brought to your table amidst a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

To discover our restaurant is also to discover a little region of Italy, right here in the heart of Milngavie.  That’s a Primo promise.
