   I recently was invited to a business dinner at Caffe Parma. An atmospheric dinning experience, with efficient service and good Italian food. Best to book in advance, because it's a popular place.

   Have eaten at Parma several times over the years and I can say the service is always on-point, fast attentive and friendly. However I cannot say the same for the food. There have been some visits where I was blown away by the quality and the freshness of the dishes (and the speed in which they had them out) and other times where I felt like I was eating at any other mid-level italian restaurant in Glasgow. That being said I have never had a 'bad' meal here even some of the less than stelar experiences were still nice enough but I would like to see some more constancy from the kitchen. I would still recommend Parma if you're in the area.

   Excellent food - the crab and avocado crostini was just impeccable and the linguine with scallops was packed with flavour! Unfortunately no room for dessert but gives us valid excuse to return again! Service was quick and friendly, can’t wait to return.

   we just live five minutes walk away and can say with confidence that this is great spot which never disappoints. If you're just in for coffee or a large celebratory meal, the experience is always perfect. The staff are extremely welcoming and make it all very slick and enjoyable. The food is some of the best you'll get in Glasgow and the Italian cuisine is undeniably authentic. Finally, a special word for the setting as it is totally delightful. Being able to sit and watch people play tennis (at varying levels of proficiency but always enjoyable) with a coffee or something stronger. A great place which is a credit to Glasgow!

   For some reason this little gem skips under the radar of many review platforms. I suspect the locals know how valuable this culinary treasure chest is and consequently word of mouth is probably its best friend. I arrived at the end of service and most people were just finishing off their lunch. I was offered a table next to a couple who were deep in philosophical discourse and since Pascal's wager wasn't on my to do list, I was offered a booth; near the end of service you can get lucky like that. The table next to me was waxing eloquent about the 'brewshetta' I resisted the urge to correct them. I started with the arancini which was served with a parmesan smear and micro greens. The pancetta inside had been rendered properly and didn't overpower the rice . Delicious! I opted for the Salciccia with a gf pasta. The gluten-free variety is most often penne and this was a particularly good one. The Italian sausage was flavoured with fennel (and could have been supplied by Rogers the butchers on Byres Road. If not they have a decent competitor!). The dish was beautifully balanced and had I noticed the excess sugo, I would have asked for some gf bread. I really needed an espresso to close but time was against me. The manager was old school, may I say. The ability to listen is often lost on the younger gens - or whatever they are called. Her attention to detail was matched by her manner: Confident, calm, relaxed and professional. I may have bought a used car from her.. if that had been on the menu ha! The waitress was lovely too. Perhaps an evening visit with friends would provide a fuller picture, but lunch was certainly a positive experience! Ido hope to return soon... It would be rude not to

   Visited for breakfast and really enjoyed it. Had the granola along with a roll and sausage. Trying to balance the diet there. Both were brilliant and would have both again. My wife had the poached eggs with avocado and loved it. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Will be back.

   This is a very nice restaurant in the heart of Hyndland, a quiet and niche neighbourhood in Glasgow. The atmosphere is homely but sophisticated. Food is great, particularly if you like sharing or you go out with a group, since portions are generous and there is so much variety! The menu changes over time and there are the specials of the day. Be careful as pizzas are filling and big!

   Out today for a walk and decided to go in for coffee/scone. Well what can I say... absolutely delicious, coffee was really nice, and scone was hot. Service was with a smile and very attentive. We will definitely be back.

   Second time I’ve been and unfortunately on both occasions given the worst table which is on the right hand side at the end of a small corridor. Service is very slow because staff can’t see you. Table was very scruffy (needs to be upcycled/table cloth). Also, that area was full of flies which was very annoying. However, food was very good and reasonable. Just not a great overall experience.
