Fresh handmade pasta was the draw, with the lamb ragu pappardelle among the best pasta the reviewer had eaten. Service faltered when staff ignored repeated requests to dry a rain-soaked table, and the restaurant lacks step-free access.

What to Expect
Little Eataly sits in a garden corner of the Queen of Hearts complex in Highlands, and reviewers treat it as a date-night spot. Bongai (May 2021) called it easy to miss but “not to be missed”, with an al fresco space carved out from the wider complex. Joan (January 2019) said it is a “first choice for date nights”.
Pasta is what people come back for. Ruvarashe (September 2024) called a chicken garlic ravioli “Best pasta dish I’ve ever had”, rich in flavour and beautifully presented, though Ruvarashe felt the restaurant “could do much more for their aesthetics”. Greg (May 2018) agreed it was the “Best pasta I've had in a long time”. Joan (January 2019) recommends the panna cotta, “the best I've ever had”.
Honest (2023) said their waiter, Uncle Raymond, called Honest's straw “a hosepipe” and made the night, part of what Honest called a cozy, romantic setting good for a night out. Isaac (September 2022) enjoyed the live band music alongside excellent service and value for money.

A lovely place to come back to again and again. Located in the Queen of Hearts complex on Hurworth Road, it easy to miss but not to be missed.
