Vecchia Bologna

My husband and I went here for lunch yesterday as I had purchased a deal on groupon, starter, main and tea/​coffee for £16.
I have always known about this place but haven’t been in years maybe because it’s tucked away up the back of BOA and there are plenty of places in the village to choose from. It’s definitely worth the drive up the hill the Resturant is bright and airy we were sat at the big window overlooking the garden. The garden is enclosed and has outdoor seating and a small play area for the children, ideal for during the summer!
I ordered the chicken liver pâté which was tasty and came with plenty of toasted breads and salad my husband ordered the soup of the day, tomato and cauliflower which he also enjoyed. For mains we had the spaghetti and a pizza which was all very tasty and clean plates were sent back to the kitchen! Coffee was lovely too and came with little Ameretto biscuits, yum! Staff were very pleasant and professional. Will definitely be back to try the dinner menu!

Always surprised that this restaurant is not packed. The food is delicious. The service is excellent. The menu perhaps is on the expensive side compared to other restaurants in Bridge of Allan, but that said is worth the money.

Where have you been hiding, Vecchia Blogona? Way up in Bridge of Allan, that’s where! It may look that all that’s to be found in Upper Bridge of Allan is ridiculously big houses but alas, Vecchia Bologna sits… at the top of a very big hill! We sat outside since the weather was nice and they even let us have the dog sit with us and enjoy it’s water bowl! They do a great lunch deal of soup of the day (or garlic bread) plus a pizza or pasta dish with coffee for £8.95. I’d heard that the pizzas were quite something so I went for the salami choice! The soup was delicious and wholesome and the pizza was thin and perfectly crisp. The service was great and the lunch menu is really great value for money! I will venture back up the big hill! It’s worth it for the pizza!
