Best Pasta Falkirk

Recipes rooted in Italy taken to Falkirk

Gambero Rosso was founded by an Italian chef who never forgot the food he grew up with in Italy.

Every classic dish on our menu traces back to those same family recipes, brought to life with the finest fresh ingredients sourced locally right here in Scotland.

We have continued on his ethos of only selecting the very best ingredients for our recipes.

For a real taste of Italy and a great service that feels like you’re on the Amalfi coast, our Italian restaurant in Falkirk is the only table you need to book.

Regional dishes with local produce

Italian food isn’t one set cuisine. It is a country of regions, with a distinct identity and take on cooking,

The south leans on sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh coastal seafood. The north favours richer dishes, built on butter, cream and slow-cooked depth. Every area has its own history, climate and precise way of doing things.

Our menu draws from the entire country.

We’ve brought together hand-picked dishes from across Italy, each cooked the way they were intended with quality ingredients and no shortcuts.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s something on our menu that was made for it.

Where our ingredients come from

We source Italian ingredients for the things that need to be Italian.

From the Parmesan to the cheese, to certain pasta shapes and fillings.

Anything that hasn’t been sourced from Italy has been taken from local Scottish suppliers.

This means fresh seafood, local vegetables and the finest dairy products for our special sauces.

Great Italian food always comes down to the quality of ingredients. We allow the produce to speak for itself.

Italian food made for your palate

One of the things that truly sets us apart is the selection of pasta shapes available.

We allow you to choose from six pasta types, then decide on your sauce. The kitchen will make it fresh for your plate.

The pasta types we have available with any sauce on the menu include Linguine, Rigatoni, Penne, Tagliatelle, and Spaghetti.

For those who want a taste of the North, or our guests with Gluten intolerance, we also have a rice option on our list.

If you aren’t sure which pasta type is right for you, our servers will be more than happy to guide you through the range. We will find the perfect type to complement your sauce and your senses.

Gambero Rosso also offers baked and fresh pasta, all finished with the same love and care you would receive from Nonna’s kitchen.

Your pasta is always your way.

The full pasta menu selection

We pride ourselves on a diverse menu that our guests keep returning to for a taste of something new.

Here are the dishes that make our pasta menu one of the best in Falkirk.

Classic dishes

In the North of Italy, Bolognese is a favourite for a reason. The quality of the tomatoes is the shining star, and our chefs always prepare them freshly made and full of flavour.

Or from Central Italy, Carbonara’s rich sauce with egg, parmesan and silky cream.

For a historic dish with over one thousand years of history and adaptations, the Amatriciana lets the freshest ingredients do the talking. It is bold, rich and unmistakably Italian.

And for the heat of the South, the Piccante brings a fiery warmth that builds with every bite.

Chicken and meat meals

Our Pollo Arosto pairs roast chicken with tomato, garlic, and cream. Everything is perfectly seasoned for a dish that feels like Sunday dinner in an Italian home.

The Genovese brings in a taste of Naples, made with chicken strips and peppers brought together with a beautiful pesto. Or for another Neapolitan favourite, our Boscaiola combines mince, mushrooms, onion and peas in a rich Napoli sauce with a touch of cream.

Perfect for the winter or for a touch of spice, the Salsiccia e Funghi is made with spicy sausages and earthy mushrooms.

Seafood pasta

The Southern region of Italy is known for its seafood, and that’s where our menu and Scotland’s coastline meet.

Our Frutti di Mare, Gamberoni Peperoncino, and Scampi e Salmone are among some of our own personal favourites.

We use the best of Scotland’s catches, because these dishes deserve nothing less.

Mushroom and vegetarian

For those who prefer earthy flavours, we have a range of vegetarian meals.

Our Porcini is made with wild mushrooms for a heartfelt flavour and earthy depth.

Gnocchi, lasagne, and fresh pasta

Gambero Rosso is proud to offer gnocchi and lasagna that arrive straight from the oven.

Or for something extra special, our Tortelloni Ricotta e Spinaci is a freshly made filled pasta stuffed with ricotta and spinach.
