New casual dining Italian venue to open in Kilmarnock this summer
The new dog-friendly eaterie aims to bring a slice of La Dolce Vita to town.
A new Italian-inspired cafe is coming to Ayrshire this summer.
Caffè Sala is set to open on Queen Street in Kilmarnock, taking over the former Olivia's Bar and Kitchen.
Founded by Paul Crolla, Caffè Sala aims to create a welcoming space that blends traditional hospitality with modern cafè culture.
The "casual dining venue" is set to bring authentic Italian-style coffee and food to the town centre location.
Owners say the new venue will offer a "dynamic, multi-purpose concept designed for all-day enjoyment".
Part of the venue, the coffee house and gelato bar, will be dog friendly while a dedicated quite zone will offer a place for meetings or solo work complete with ample charging points.
The cafe will also be supported by a retail section selling handpicked Italian ingredients, wines, and foodie gifts.

Paul said: 'Our goal is to create a venue where everyone feels at home – whether you're grabbing a quick espresso on the go or lingering over a long lunch with friends.
'Kilmarnock deserves a new destination with a fresh approach. Why not one that feels like a little slice of Italy where life centres around family, friends and food.
'We can't wait to welcome everyone through our doors and share what we've been working hard to create.'
Plans for the cafe's launch and the precise opening date are still in the works but it is expected later in the summer.
