    A group of 4 of us went to La Gondola this evening, for the second time this week as two of us ate on Sunday (7/8/22) and had enjoyed so much. There's a great selection to choose from and the food is delicious. The pasta dishes are very flavourful and traditional. The portions we found generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I was pleased to see that the "Specials Board" was different on the second visit. Some places seem to have the same specials listed all the time. I look forward to visiting the next time we are in the area. I highly recommend La Gondola.

    Haven't been in the gondola for a few years and thought we would give it a go. And was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere was great the restaurant was very busy which was a good sign straight away. The food was lovely you know when you get the veg with you food in some places its a bit soggy. But the veg was tasty and crisp which was lovely with my meal. Had a chicken dish which was moist and well seasoned. My wife the tagliatelle which looked amazing and she said it was so creamy and lovely. Will definitely be going back again

    Lovely time. Great food and well priced. Reasonably busy, so quite noisy but that was fine. First time we've been but we'll definitely be back.

    Real Italian food experience! The decor is so warm and homely. The staff are friendly. They have gluten free options and half size portions. Booking is advised however walk ins are taken if there is space. Food was full of flavour and fair prices.

    Absolutely lovely restaurant. Was quite busy when we went so was loud but a great atmosphere. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Even though it was really busy we were served much faster than I’d expected. The food was absolutely incredible, will be going back again for sure.

    I’ve had the pleasure to be introduced to this awesome Italian restaurant from my Uncle Brian. Now my uncle Brian , has been coming to the restaurant for 28 years!!! I now know why, this is Best Italian food I’ve had in years!!! The restaurant was clean, the food was awesome. I had Calamari to start, seafood pasta for mains and then some delicious Italian ice cream to finish. We were very well looked after by Denise, Luca and Elaine. So if your in Kirkcaldy and looking for a delicious Italian try La Gondola 10/10
