only been in ayrshire for 45 years mate and ive NEVER been into Nardinis!!!
:eek :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek
I thought every biker in Scotland had been to Nardini's for an ice cream.
Anyway it's still a cracking cafe, but quite what it was. The Nardini's lost it through family in fighting, then it shut down, somebody nicked the interior and eventually it was taken over and refurbished. They have done a great job with the cafe and the restaurant but the foyer and shop are nothing like what they used to be. My favourite bit was the shop and bakery, full of continental stuff you couldn't get anywhere else, it was all beautiful 1930's art deco style. For me the foyer and shop was the most beautiful part of the whole building. I reckon it got shipped out to Moscow, New York or God knows where. Somebody somewhere has Largs's original 1930's art deco cafe shop.
