Operetta
Highlander House, 58 Waterloo Street,
Glasgow,
G2 7DA
Operetta is a smart, large restaurant and café, which by day bustles with office workers grabbing soups, sandwiches or a quick pasta. In the evening the restaurant suffers a little atmospherically from its daytime existence – the large self-service…
Massimo
57 Elmbank Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4PQ
Massimo's popularity seems as much to do with its location, opposite King's Theatre, as the typically Italian fare served up in this basement venue. Modern stylings such as wooden floors and glass partitions give the space a surprisingly light and airy…
Ristorante Teatro
61 Elmbank Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4PQ
Only open for five months at the time of writing, Ristorante Teatro is a charming little basement eatery across the road from the King’s Theatre, well placed for pre-theatre diners. The décor is bright, modern and intimate, with stained-glass panels in…
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida,
Glasgow,
G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Café Cherubini hovers pleasantly between between the feel of a café and a trattoria, offering Italian-inspired snacks and meals. The usual café items such as all-day breakfasts, bacon rolls, and hearty baked potatoes with various tasty fillings are on…
Gambrino
333 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HS
With its warm, cosy interior, dim lights, terracotta tiles and worn wood, Gambrino feels like a rustic Tuscan taverna, even on a rainy Glaswegian night. The menu is simple, focusing on a few things and doing them well – pizza, pasta and a handful of…
Barbarossa
Cartside House, 1–7 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
Barbarossa comes in two parts – a wine bar downstairs and a chic restaurant upstairs – and thanks to a very committed chef, a host of regulars have been dining here for more than 10 years. The wine bar has a reasonably priced selection of pasta, pizza…
Roma Mia
162–164 Darnley Street,
Glasgow,
G41 2LL
The same family has run Roma Mia for almost 15 years and, thanks to a facelift in 2011, it has a contemporary look to rival any City Centre venue. Popular with many a Southside resident, the restaurant does authentic Italian dishes, and coupled with the…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
Prepare for your senses to go into overdrive when you visit this gem of a restaurant. It's brimming with tables, diners and waiters, and if you could bottle the atmosphere then you’d surely be able to sell it, if only to the people who fill this place…
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR
Tucked into a side street joining nearby offices to Kelvingrove Park, Arcaffe is an unassuming and friendly little Italian bistro, with tables on the pavement outside and large windows for catching the midday sun. Bustling with a mix of young families…
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
Either wonderfully kitsch or reassuring old-fashioned, depending on your point of view, La Fiorentina presides over the junction of Govan Road and Paisley Road West like an eminent institution, particularly to its many regulars. Starters are presented…
Lamora
1166–1170 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
Run by a father and son team Lamora's ethos is all about serving great food at a price that won't break the bank. The restaurant is a nice, large open space with very little clutter; however, postcards from regulars dotted about a couple of walls give a…
Paperino's
227 Byres Road, Glasgow,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
With two City Centre venues and a branch in the West End, Paperino’s has become a byword for quick and easy Italian food. The original Sauchiehall Street branch is most intimate, with wooden booths, dim lights and terracotta tiles, while the newer St…
Little Italy
205 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TN
Carrying more of a café vibe than that of a restaurant, Little Italy is a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by. The pizzas are the highpoint of the dining experience, not just for their taste and freshness, but also for the novelty of the…
La Vita Spuntini
199–201 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TN
Italian tapas is an intriguing concept, with the menu at La Vita Spuntini offering a host of small mix-and-match meat, fish and vegetable dishes, larger bowls of pasta for sharing, and dinky ‘pizzettes’. Duck and black pudding in red currant jus is…
La Brava
679a Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3SE
La Brava has been serving Southsiders for a couple of years, and the fact it's always busy is testament to chef's use of the finest and freshest ingredients, as well as to an exceptionally friendly welcome. Owners Aris and Rico have managed to create…
Bellini
67 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Bellini is a lovely little pocket of Italy in the heart of Shawlands. Almost all the staff are Italian and, beef aside, all produce is from Italy, and with no freezer on the premises, everything is fresh. Thanks to this the restaurant has a faithful…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
From the street Bella Napoli looks like a run-of-the-mill Italian deli, but discerning food lovers know that through the back, past the racks of wine and tins of olives, is a reliable restaurant of some worth. While the front cafe offers casual…
Tony Macaroni
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
With several branches in and around Glasgow, the most recent being the Merchant City venue in the classy setting of the Italian Centre, and with a sisterly relationship with ice-cream supremo Nardini's, Tony Macaroni is a busy man. The three levels…
Nick’s
168 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9HZ
It’s love at first sight at Nick’s – what a stunning interior, all exposed brickwork, dark wood, slightly industrial, Brooklyn-loft kind of vibe. A newcomer to Hyndland Road, having opened in late 2009, it takes over the site of the unique…
Wee Cucina
205 Fenwick Road,
Glasgow,
G46 6JD
Wee Cucina opened in spring 2011, quickly becoming a popular choice with local diners. As it says, it's small – but with an intimacy perfect for couples in the evening, whereas go at tea-time and it is family friendly. An enticing menu of Italian tapas…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
From its pleasantly neutral décor and friendly service to the suburban location, Bar Milano ticks all the boxes for a comfortable neighbourhood trattoria. It’s housed in a converted bank but where such buildings often possess a cold grandeur, the…
Mimmo's

Glasgow,
G41 1PD
