A perfect restaurant experience! Delicious food and amazing staff. The Pasta fagioli soup was so good! The staff surprised me with a birthday candle with some delicious icecream!
One of the oldest Italian Restaurants in Glasgow. Generous portions, cocktails are great and the Chianti wine was light too. The sausage and bean stew starter was excellent. The crab and lobster ravioli was sublime. The Tia Maria coffee was the best ever. The rice balls were good and the branzino was excellent. The lasagna was good too. All were large portions, so split an appetizer with your friends or partner. The desserts were superb.
A brilliant spot for a festive meal, the decor is gorgeous, like Nancy Meyers Christmas. And the service was wonderful start to finish. Highly recommend for all year round.
Undoubtedly 5-star! This restaurant is by far the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in the UK. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The place was buzzing with people, so making a reservation is highly recommended.
It was truly an enjoyable meal. We didn’t have a reservation, but thanks to arriving early we were able to get a table. When we asked for a wine recommendation, they kindly let us taste it first. The food and wine were excellent, the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. The tiramisu was amazing. Highly recommended!

Authentic Italian flavors in the heart of Glasgow since 1978.
