Mediterraneo
159 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DW
Mediterraneo was the final venture for famous Glasgow restaurateur Mario Romano who sadly passed away in 2011. Having been behind so many of the city’s best known Italian venues, this place certainly looks the part – large, bright and in a great…
The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
It could be argued the Italian Kitchen is a victim of its own success – it is almost always busy so service can occasionally stretch, and booking ahead is pretty much a must. Put that aside and what you get is a restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, a…
Qua Italian Restaurant
The Todd Building, 68 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
Situated in the fashionable Merchant City area, Qua likes to think of itself as a stylish place to eat quality Italian food, the way they do back home. The décor is minimalist, with red and black furniture dominating the large dining area which is…
Amore
30 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1QA
At the quiet end of Ingram Street, Amore sits mezzanine height above pavement level which, along with the smart furnishings, lots of sparkling glass and stone-bake oven, provides a pleasant sense of occasion. It's a warm and welcoming enough space, but…
The Italian Caffè
92 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The food here more than matches the elegant surroundings dispelling any initial fears over Merchant City style over substance. Serving a tapas-style menu invigorates a scene overladen with the usual pizza and pasta suspects, and the ability to sample a…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Enter the plate-glass doors and down the elegant stairway into this basement venue, and it is clear that Amarone is at the classier end of the Di Maggio's chain. There's the slick modern décor, warm chocolate and neutral colours, and mix of open tables…
SoHo
84 Miller Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DT
SoHo is a low-ceiling lively place that specialises in bar meals and pizzas and seems one of the few places in town to be regularly busy even midweek. Service is sharp and generally smiley and the menu is Mediterranean-influenced, with a Scots slant…
O Sole Mio
34–36 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HG
O Sole Mio has been serving customers for 47 years, and since changing hands more than a year ago the restaurant still promises to not disappoint. The menu is very varied, the staff are exceptionally pleasant, and the venue’s new look is sleek yet cosy.
Dino Ferrari
35–41 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3AT
Dino Ferrari is the new look for a much-loved favourite on the Glasgow Italian scene (it was formerly plain old Dino's, but the owners sold the Hope Street branch in 2011 and tweaked the name). The avuncular welcome and charmingly retro décor – both in…
Toni's
64 Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1NQ
Since taking charge here in July 2006, the Flores family have worked to ensure that Toni's is more than just another city centre pizza joint. Despite the location, it feels more like a neighbourhood favourite. The Italian staff, aided by translations…
Fratelli Sarti
42 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NF
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
Barolo Grill
92–94 Mitchell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Occupying the former L'Ariosto premises, this plush member of the Di Maggio’s stable strikes you on entering with its stylish and intimate ambience. Subtly lit leather-seated booths and smaller tables are framed by the flames of the grill in the…
Di Maggio's Theatreland
163 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
See Royal Exchange Square branch for review
Il Pavone
The Courtyard, Princes Square, Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
The grand peacock sitting above Princes Square's entrance, overlooking Buchanan Street's shoppers, gives its name in Italian to Il Pavone, whose diners can watch those inside Glasgow's most upmarket shopping centre. It's a favourite daytime haunt for…
Sannino Pizzeria
61 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2DG
More than 20 years after it was established, this handsome pizzeria continues to lure customers into its underground chamber of dark wooden booths, chrome railings and Tiffany-style lamps. Regulars appreciate the reasonably priced set lunch and…
Osteria Piero
111 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2RU
This trattoria-style restaurant has an intimate but laid-back atmosphere – the wood-panelled interior creates warmth and the the service of beer from a barrel in front of the bar is a fun, quirky feature. To start, the seafood filo parcel has a nest of…
Fratelli Sarti
121 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
Viva
77 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6TS
Clearly profiting from its positioning – slap bang in the centre of Glasgow’s financial district – Viva draws in a healthy crowd of diners even on a drizzly Monday night. Yet there’s more to the restaurant’s success than simple location – while it…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
The Bath Street Pony
207 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HZ
After a few name changes over the last decade, this venue seems to have finally found its feet as the Bath Street Pony, now enjoying its third year in the guide. Ironically, the décor hasn’t changed since previous incarnations – the contrast of open…
Scarlet
327 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
Scarlet claims to have 'feverishly good food', and the menus and signage decorated with eye-catching designs of berry sprigs continue the eponymous red theme. The antipasti misto is possibly overpriced at £6.75, especially when no butter is provided to…
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…
Coia's Café
473–477 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…
Celino's
620–624 Alexandra Parade,
Glasgow,
G31 3BT
When a restaurant consistently hits the heights in the ways that Celino's manages it becomes difficult to ignore, even if located in a neighbourhood where passing trade is scarce, particularly in the evening. Stepping off a deserted Alexandra Parade…
