Nardini's

Restaurante | Largs | Scotland | Reino Unido

Fish and chips premiados

El "Nardini's" en Largs, Escocia, es un restaurante y café legendario que se considera uno de los monumentos más conocidos de la región y está profundamente arraigado en la historia de la ciudad. Fundado originalmente en 1935 por la familia de inmigrantes italianos Nardini, representa una conexión única entre la cocina británica e italiana, siendo especialmente famoso por sus galardonados fish and chips y helados caseros. Después de una extensa renovación de millones de libras, el local fue reinaugurado en diciembre de 2008, restaurando el distintivo edificio Art Deco a su antiguo esplendor, complementado con acentos modernos. Con su ubicación en la costa, ofrece una vista incomparable del Firth of Clyde y se ha establecido como una parada imprescindible para los visitantes que realizan un viaje "doon the water", una expresión escocesa para un viaje al mar.

Cocina británica e italiana tradicional

La atmósfera en "Nardini's" es una mezcla exitosa de nostalgia y un toque contemporáneo. El interior del café, que cuenta con 200 asientos, impresiona con su elegante estética Art Deco, caracterizada por líneas claras, grandes ventanales y un diseño luminoso y abierto que destaca la vista de la costa. Los fines de semana, un pianista ofrece música en vivo, que abarca desde clásicos hasta piezas modernas, subrayando el ambiente relajado pero animado. La decoración es tanto estilosa como funcional, con una cocina abierta que permite a los comensales observar la preparación de los platos, y un mostrador de helados que se convierte en el corazón del local. Especialmente durante la alta temporada o en días soleados, el café se llena rápidamente, lo que refleja su popularidad como punto de encuentro para todas las generaciones.

Sabores de helado únicos en Largs

Culinarimente, "Nardini's" es un paraíso para los amantes de las especialidades británicas e italianas. La especialidad indiscutible son los "Fish and Chips", fritos al momento y preparados según el estándar galardonado del director Sep Marini, un plato que establece un referente con su rebozado crujiente y las patatas fritas perfectamente saladas. Igualmente impresionante es la "Clyde Coast Extravaganza", un monumental postre de helado con doce bolas y dieciséis toppings, que no solo es un deleite, sino también una experiencia para grupos. Para los golosos, destaca la "Double Cream Vanilla", un helado clásico hecho con leche y crema escocesa fresca que cautiva con su textura cremosa. También las pastas italianas, como las Millefoglie caseras, son un placer y dan fe del cuidado artesanal que se pone en cada bocado en la panadería anexa.

Restaurante histórico en Escocia

La oferta de bebidas es igualmente variada y se destaca por su calidad. "Nardini's" se enorgullece especialmente de su exclusiva mezcla de café, que se sirve como un café de tueste medio aromático tanto en el café como en bolsas para llevar, siendo un acompañante perfecto para las delicias dulces. La carta de cócteles aporta un toque moderno, mientras que las bebidas sin alcohol tradicionales y los batidos, hechos con los helados caseros, son un éxito entre los más jóvenes. La selección de helados incluye sabores innovadores como "Scottish Tablet" o "Peach and Passionfruit Cheesecake", que demuestran cómo el restaurante combina tradición con creatividad, siempre apostando por la frescura.

Renovación de edificio Art Déco

El servicio a menudo se describe como de primera clase, con un personal que se esfuerza por ofrecer a los clientes una experiencia especial. Sin embargo, en días ocupados puede haber tiempos de espera, y algunos visitantes comentan sobre la prisa o ciertas discrepancias en los pedidos. A pesar de ello, la satisfacción predomina, y el equipo se muestra flexible en adaptar platos para necesidades dietéticas especiales. El "Nardini's" también es conocido por su importancia histórica: durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, fue un punto de encuentro cultural que, a pesar de los tiempos difíciles, ofrecía entretenimiento, aunque las raíces italianas de la familia presentaban desafíos en ese momento.

El restaurante es una parte integral de la comunidad en Largs y atrae visitantes de todo el mundo que buscan lo mejor de la cocina británica e italiana en un entorno único. Atrae a una amplia gama de público, desde familias hasta parejas y grupos que celebran ocasiones especiales. La posibilidad de comprar helados y pasteles para llevar lo hace aún más versátil. A pesar de las críticas ocasionales sobre la limpieza o la rapidez del servicio, "Nardini's" sigue siendo un lugar que representa calidad y tradición.

Battered haddock and chips at Nardini's is the food of choice when visiting Largs. Especially when it's still chilly outside and you can watch the choppy sea from the comfort and warmth of the restaurant.

Came in for cuppa coffee ☕ being coming Nardinis since young girl when I stayed with my grandparents in Largs. Customer service was awful by waitress we walked out disgusted. Never again. My late papa used play piano occasionally at Nardinis.

This remains a destination for me whenever up in Scotland visiting family! The best sundaes ever! I think my sister won the prize for travelling the furthest for an ice cream sundae that day - 6,000 miles from California! Sadly, we were up in Scotland for a family funeral, so when the photo was taken of us all, there was at least one face missing. God Bless you Uncle Dave

We had the classic fish and chips and it was great! Despite how busy the place was the service was quick and friendly. The only thing that let it down slightly for me personally was…it’s a lovely 1930s art deco restaurant with period correct furniture and fittings…but playing modern pop music just didn’t really suit the environment. But tbf if the only thing I can complain about it the background music then is shows that this place is very much worth visiting, I’ll definitely be back!

Wow, once an institution and world renowned cafe... What has it become. Queuing to get in when the restaurant is 60% full. Slow service and you have to try and flag down someone. Wrong dishes and the soup was cold. Carpets look are disgusting and you stick when waking across them. Urinal leaking in the men's bathroom. Not value for money versus the food and level of service. Lots of other places in largs. Avoid at all costs.

We had a good meal, s tarters were really big, and I don't think I chose well for my main meal, I had spaghetti Bolognese which wasn't hot and really tasted too much like tomatoes, no herbs to give it the nice Italian Bolognese taste. The staff were very nice and the service was very good.

Took my 97 year old mum for last lunch there. Lunch was best ever, got take away strawberry tarts, because they are the best. On the way out, mum had an issue in the toilet, the staff were extremely helpful and very kind. I can not thank nardine's enough, staff today where a credit to your business.

The ice cream 'flavour' is only in the top layer. I looked at all the flavours and noticed this. So if it is scooped without catching the top layer you have just got plain ice cream. I ordered 2 scoops - 1 x nutella, 1 x rolo. It tasted like 2 identical mediocre chocolate ice creams, could not tell the difference between them. The rolo was meant to have toffee swirled in it, but I got none as it was only on the top layer. I asked to add toffee sauce and dime bar pieces (as part of a 2 scoop 'sundae' costing extra e.g. the toffee sauce was £1.50 extra, but really the rolo ice cream should have had toffee in it in the first place). So it was delicious in the end, but the ice cream on it's own was very disappointing. All the other flavours look like they have the same issue. Don't think they care as they make a fortune.

Nice enough place in a good location on the sea front. A bit pricey, but you’re also paying for that location I guess. A bit art deco style, nicely done, does good ice cream and there is usually plenty of pay parking across the road.

This is a superb café to visit. Very pleasant service, efficient staff. I do recommend it. Only thing I very much dislike is a service charge is automatically added and not advised when presenting the bill. One is felt compelled to pay the service charge and I resent the practice. It's my choice to tip or not and at what amount.

Largs, in general, is a like a magical place. After a 26km hike through the majestic mountains and enjoying the breathtaking scenery, I popped in at Nardinis. At 1st, I was feeling a bit intimidated and underdressed. Dirty shoes and cargo pants. I'm glad to say that the judgment was only in my head. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming, the portions were generous enough, and the price was worth every bite.

Magnificent building with apparently one of the best ice-cream in the area. Well worth a visit when in Largs

Mid-morning dive in for a cuppa and an ice cream. So, it was a bit quiet. Looking a bit tired on the outside, but fantastic on the inside. And the ice-cream? The liquorice one is sublime!
