Corrieri's, Causewayhead

The Corrieri family originated in Lucca, Tuscany, an area renowned for its unique culinary traditions and famous wines. Our grandfather came from Italy to Ayrshire, Scotland in 1897, later moving to Kelty in Fife where he opened a traditional fish and chip shop and small cafe specialising in homemade Italian style ice cream. Our father and his brothers later followed into the family business.
In 1963 our father, Bobby Corrieri, moved to our present site in Causewayhead, Stirling where he and our mother, Saida, continued to run a very successful traditional Scottish-Italian ice cream and fish and chip shop.
We have been involved in the family business from a very young age, later taking over the running of the Cafe and recapturing our Italian roots by offering a range of authentic Italian cuisine. The business expanded in 2000 to meet growing demand and has continued to appeal to both visitors and locals of all ages, to whom we are extremely grateful for their loyalty and appreciation of our hard work!
In addition to our well-loved fish and chips, Corrieri’s Cafe is renowned throughout Scotland for its delicious thin crust pizzas, freshly prepared using the finest pizza flour, homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese, and cooked in an authentic Italian pizza oven. Famous too for our pasta, freshly prepared lasagne and pasta sauces, in which we strive to use only the very best ingredients - fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and fish sourced locally or freshly imported from Italy. To complement our delicious food we offer a carefully selected list of our favourite Italian wines and a selection of beers, soft drinks and legendary milkshakes, made with our award winning Corrieri’s Ice Cream. With over 100 flavours, Corrieri’s Ice Cream is freshly made on the premises, using the finest ingredients sourced both locally and from Italy. Or why not relax with a cup of our delicious Italian roasted coffee from our home town of Lucca.
Our open plan kitchen which allows you to see your food being prepared, the buzz of our busy restaurant, its walls adorned with old family photos and authentic Italian memorabilia, and our friendly staff all add to Corrieri’s legendary atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you at Corrieri’s Cafe.
