This pretty little cottage restaurant is a welcome retreat from the vaguely depressing centre of Dunoon, with a cosy interior and a few tables in the tiny garden. It serves solid takes on Italian food, with a good range of pasta dishes, steaks, risotto and pizzas, including several options for vegetarians.
