“This is a brand new venture for us running a standalone Italian restaurant within a golf club and catering for both golf club members and the public.

“It’s going well so far and we’re really honoured to be recognised for our achievements and singled out as ‘Best Newcomer’ by the judges at the Scottish Italian Awards.”
