A BELOVED restaurant is returning to Clarkston after 30 years.
Italian eatery Paolo's will reopen, taking over the space on Helena Place which used to be Michaelangelo's.
An exact opening date is yet to be announced, but it appears to be soon as the team said they will be open on Christmas Day.

A staff member shared the news on a local community group on social media and said they were "excited" to welcome customers once again.
Locals shared their excitement at the return of an old favourite, with one commenting: "Loved that restaurant so happy it’s coming back."
Another added: "Welcome back."
A third wrote: "Congratulations."
Michaelangelo's, which also served Italian cuisine, closed in October after many years in the Clarkston area.
The team made the sad announcement to diners and thanked them for their support and for the "adventure" they have had.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
