The 30 Best Italian restaurant in Glasgow

“Great quality Italian food with a great selection as well. Traditional Carbonara with no cream is fantastic and the Milanese is great too. Freshly mad focaccia everyday and cracking pizza too. The only thing that would make this place better is if it was a sit in restaurant because that’s how good the food is.”

“What a delight to eat at this beautiful restaurant. My husband and I turned up without reservations today after a tough morning following a bereavement to try and take our minds off our sadness. The restaurant owner pulled out all the stops to find us a table, and his kind and friendly manner instantly lifted our spirits. The food was the best we have ever eaten, the staff were so attentive and clearly very happy in their work, and the other customers were obviously in their happy places too. Incredible dining experience in a truly welcoming place full of joy, and heart, and hope. Thank you so much x”

“We had a family meal there on a dank Thursday night but the welcome from Imogen and Lucy brightened up the evening. They looked after us very well and are a credit to Michaelangelo's. Our chef popped out from the kitchen and introduced herself and checked that our food was to our liking. We'll definitely be back.”

“Superb, if you haven't tried you really need to go, best fillet of beef in peppercorn sauce I've tasted so far, my hubby said beef stroganoff was amazing also, will defo be returning very soon. Nice relax atmosphere.”

“We had our first visit here last evening and have to say if we stayed in Glasgow we would be here all of the time. I had put in a request for a quieter area if possible due to our daughter struggling with busy areas. They went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable and it made her evening to feel so special. The food was 10 out of 10 for all meals, the kids came out as soon as it was ready. Really the best evening.”

“First Time Using The Italian Job Express. First Time I've Ever Ordered A Macaroni And Cheese Pizza!! Amazing. Best Food I've Eaten From Anywhere Else. Macaroni And Cheese Was Superb And The Freshly Baked Pizza Dough Was Delicious. Can't Wait To Try More Food From The Menu. Also It Was Delivered 30 mins Early.”

“Fantastic value, fantastic food....love the decor and the staff were really friendly...we will be back!”

“A very nice place to eay and drink. Im supporting all local business in our area so if you have a chance try Sams for a beutifull meal.”

“Great for big groups or intimate dining. Extensive menu for all tastes as well as vegan veggie gluten free. Staff extremely efficient. Orders spot on and attentive to empty glasses and water jugs. There was a birthday party and a baby shower but discrete areas prevented disruption to private dining. Great private parking. Give registration to restaurant on arrival”

“Super friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food was excellent. We visited before arranging a concert at the Armadillo and it couldn't have been better”

“I visited this Turkish restaurant yesterday and had an amazing experience. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming — he truly made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and honestly the best Turkish food I’ve had anywhere in England. I left completely satisfied and genuinely impressed. Highly recommend this place! I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“exceptional food, piping hot and delicious, customer private parking provided. Lovely décor really nice atmosphere and great service. 100% we will come back.”

“As An American in Airdrie, I experienced the most incredible risotto ever at this restaurant. It was truly five Stars. I also highly recommend the breaded garlic mushrooms for a starter. Very friendly and professional service and outstanding chefs.”

“Guy let us in when he was shut and had a good conversation with me and my colleague, food was top notch and will definitely be back”

“Had a small (7 person) Christmas lunch on 19th December with work colleagues. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food. The waitress was fantastic and made sure everyone was attended to. Would recommend for future meals out.”

“Was looking for a nice restaurant for my mums birthday and we stumbled upon this place. The service was amazing, the staff even helped us with a tiramisu and candle to celebrate. The charcuterie was to die for and the food we had was delicious. You can tell they use fresh produce and know how to treat it well. If you’re looking for a nice dinner or even a cocktail and nibbles I would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely beautiful food. One of the best pasta’s I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Great value for money. The staff were excellent. They went well beyond the call of duty and were just lovely. I had a little concern over the wine but they were very good. Definitely coming back. Recommended.”

“Had a lovely meal and out first visit to Prego in Carluke. Atmosphere was great, busy which shoes how popular it is. Will definitely visit again!”

“Thank you for the service. A clean and spacious area to enjoy our dinner here. Quantity of food is impressive. Although the soup with the mussels is a bit salty, all the dishes are tasty in great sauce.”

“The place is really nice, good tunes in the background, good atmosphere. I have worked my way through the menu, great choices and very tasty Naepolitan pizzas with perfect crust. The ones with Spianata Calabrese salami are our favourite. Excellent value, we keep coming back to Mozza, we love it there.”

“Went to a play at the citizens tonight. Had a burger before the show. It was fabulous and really good value for money. They also serve pizza and pasta. Very pleased to hear they serve gluten free pizza. I will be back with my family. Staff very helpful and friendly.”

“Great food and great service. The staff were friendly, and everything tasted fresh. I’d definitely come back again.”

“Gabby and sammy were amazing, brilliant service. Food came really quickly and was absolutely delicious. Would recommend the carbonara, fish of the day, focaccia and cheesecake. Such a shame I live in England not Scotland.”

“Food is delicious and the portions are great. Plus gotta love a discount %.”

“Beautiful restaurant. The food is expensive but really delicious. Great kids menu and being able to see the horses is awesome. Really beautiful surroundings too. There is a nice big play park with picnic benches too.”

“Kicked off our corporate Christmas day out in Italian Cafe in the beautiful Merchant City. Great food and service, all the Italian classics with a festive twist! Will certainly be back for luncheon and/or supper. The girls drank so many of the delicious cocktails it's amazing they managed to extricate themselves from the venue! Great place.”

“Had a fantastic dinner last night. Steak cooked to perfection and my friends had pizza (one was gluten free) and both said they were so tasty. Sharing plater was well stocked and presentation was lovely. Great food, good price and lovely staff. See you soon xxxx”

“Fantastic Italian restaurant! Wonderful meatballs and lasagna – truly homemade feel and full of flavor. The waiter was incredibly professional and friendly; impressively, he had only been working there for two days. Very impressed with both the food and the service. Highly recommended”
