Tucked away off the village's main shopping street, Primo can be hard to find for those who are not in the know. If, however, the search causes any stress, the smiling and gracious staff should put you at ease when you finally get there. This restaurant caters mainly to the good folk and families of Milngavie, who tend to dine early evenings in its smart modern surroundings. Leather-clad booths, wooden floors and plain painted walls are hung with Jack Vettriano-style paintings. Like Scotland's best-selling artist, the menu here is broadly Scots-Italian. Ambitious (if possibly overlarge), too. It certainly creates expectations that you are in for something special. Starters include seared scallops, which are dark on the outside but have slightly undercooked interiors, served with strongly flavoured sun-dried tomatoes. The meat options include dolce veal – sauté fillets of baby beef in a sweet and sour honey and balsamic reduction. For afters the sticky toffee pudding – a dark, nutty, sweet sponge square – is worth investigating.
