Reviews Overview

The standout feature of Mira Mare is its high-quality food prepared with fresh ingredients. Diners rave about the lobster ravioli, a dish that transports your taste buds to Italy with every bite. The focaccia starter comes highly recommended, surprising many with its unexpectedly delightful flavor.
Coffee aficionados will appreciate the great coffee selection, perfect for rounding out a meal. Many patrons return for dessert, particularly the cannoli served with whipped cream, a true Italian treat. The ambiance strikes a lovely balance between casual and romantic, catering to various dining styles. Reservations are recommended for dinner, especially on weekends, as the quality of the food and service keeps the seats filled.
Most Disliked
While many love the intimate size of Mira Mare, some diners find the limited seating can make it challenging to secure a table during busy hours. A few reviewers noted the decor feels somewhat dated; however, the cleanliness of the space compensates well for it.
As an older establishment, some might wish for a more modern interior. Additionally, potential customers may not find extensive vegetarian options, although healthy choices do exist. While it’s ideal for dining in, the takeaway service might not offer the same experience as enjoying the meal on-site. Expecting grandeur may disappoint compared to the quaint charm this pizzeria holds.

The restaurant is small (around 20 seats) and the decor is dated but it’s impeccable in its cleanliness and the menu has a nice choice and pretty standard restaurant prices. We went as a family and had a lovely meal, the service was great and the food was exactly what I expect of an Italian. Good quality ingredients cooked well. We would absolutely go again and happily recommend it to others.

Oldest Italian restaurant in Helensburgh. Good menu selection plus specials. Raviolis very good. Offer wine by carafe so can differ between couple.

Just love this place. It's about two years since we last visited (we don't live nearby) but have visited twice with friends this week. Absolutely fabulous food and great service. I think it's the type of place you need a recommendation to go first time but your not disappointed after the meal. I believe it's owner/chef and the quality of the meals reflects the investment. First service 6 people all with different selection and all loved the meals. Second service included a few "same again" because it was so good the first time. The focaccia starter for the table is just amazing (not what I think of focaccia but did that taste I don't care 😇) I think I may move house 🤣.

We had our 10th wedding anniversary dinner here today. It was lovely. The ambience and service were so great. The food was amazing. Bring back our memories of when we had pasta in Venice. Ravioli lobster is so yummy and lush. Desserts also good three flavours of cannoli with whipped cream to end with. A memorable moment for us.
