Amalfi in Glasgow City

We booked our table for 5pm and arrived 4.55pm Whilst the contents of the meal was nice the service left a lot to be desired An example of the above service was the fact that as soon as our main meal was finished we asked for 5 min break before ordering anything else When the manager returned to see if we wished anything we asked to see the sweet menu which he reluctantly gave us whilst stood to we picked something from it we ordered hot apple pie which arrived at 6pm like a dogs dinner and was cold When he put it down he said we had to hurry as he was busy and needed the table back I then asked the manager what was the time limit on the table which wasn’t advised when making the booking and he informed us 1 hour 15 mins at this stage we had only been in an hour and had eaten a 3 course meal We didn’t eat the pie and he came back minutes later to lift it and he brought the bill to which we paid and left feeling harried an harassed and more or less asked to leave before our ridiculously short window of time was up Although the manager apologised his mannerism left a lot to be desired We always enjoyed this restaurant previously but we will not be back

Very busy night but they managed to squeeze us in which we really appreciated. Food was delicious - carbonara and vegetable lasagna- the staff were courteous, polite and friendly. We had been before and they didn’t disappoint with service and food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Everything was just okay, not exceptionally bad nor good

Fantastic food in an authentic Italian restaurant. It was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Thank you for your hospitality 🇮🇹

Just not a nice. Food bog average. Atmosphere bad bright lights another customer screaming and swearing. Overpriced for what was !staff ok 😒😒😒😒

I’ve no idea why people rate this place. Service was rude, food was awful and despite better judgment in offering them a tip, they demanded it in cash rather than on the card bill (presumably so the taxman doesn’t see it).

Lovely restaurant. The food was outstanding would highly recommend, the prices were reasonable.

Go to the Amalfi on the regular with all the family, and it is the families goto. Today I went with my daughter and partner and ordered 3 courses, I was alittle bewildered at the customer service, I could feel something wasn't right, as I'm registered severely sight impaired. When I was choosing from the menu I was judged. We choose mozzarella cheese cubes (these were clearly bought in and the tomato sauce was tinned heinz tomato), sirloin steak (medium rare very over oiled) and for desert chocolate cake. My daughter asked for an apple juice, I bit my tongue when the man had quite aggressively slide the bottle the width of the table. I used long white cane due to my blindness, the male server had moved my cane off the table out of reach without telling anyone us. It was only till afterwards my parter said that he was vaping and eating chewing tabbaco at our table when we were deciding our meals

We have been going here for 25 years yet to find a better Italian

The restaurant goes unnoticed if you aren't looking, but it's worth the find! Excellent, authentic Italian food! Fast, friendly service. The prices are reasonable too. Highly recommend if you are in Glasgow. Within walking distance of the hotels and shopping.

My first time visiting Scotland and I found this cozy little place near the Maldron. Very authentic Italian food. Everything was delicious! The wait staff is friendly and service is fast!

Wonderful small trattoria in central Glasgow. We received a warm welcome without a reservation on a Friday night and a table by the window. Good house rose, savory spaghetti bolognese and a nice alfredo. The caprese salad with sweet balsamic dressing was delicious. The owner was lovely and even stopped what he was doing to take a photo of us outside his restaurant.

Booking was confirmed as 17:00-18:30. We were rushed into ordering and there were some errors on the order. Just before 18:00 we were brought the bill and told that the table was required due to other bookings. When we asked the waiter about the timing, he told us that the table was only available for an hour and a quarter so staff and website differ regarding information. Disappointed that we will not be returning as food has always been tasty but not prepared to be treated this way.

Outstanding restaurant … delicious authentic Italian food - reasonable prices - friendly staff. We discovered this restaurant on trip advisor very close to our hotel and it became our go-to dinner place each night. Wonderful food - wonderful friendly staff that made us feel at home.

absolutely fantastic place!! excellent service.food was incredible as well!! Staff very efficient & friendly!! Perfect atmosphere! We will definitely be back!!

A delightful find! Delicious pizza and our favorite wine. Cozy. Highly recommended.

Brilliant authentic Italian food. Really cosy and service is excellent! Love this place and so do the kids!

Lovely food and even better staff, they were very hospitable and loved to crack a joke. The description of the restaurant's history and the celebrities who dined there was an incredible addition. Overall a very classic and homely experience.

Really nice old school Glasgow Italian. Nice food, reasonably priced, friendly staff. A wee gem hidden away just off the town end of Sauchiehall Street. Will be back.

Really 4.5 stars - owner & waitress friendly & very helpful, ready to assist with any request. Food very tasty, not huge portions. The lasagne & tiramisu after was good. Definitely worth getting out in Glasgow's rain to visit!

Was in for lunch with my friend today, and as usual did not disappoint. Cannot fault this lovely little restustaurant and i highly recommended it. Margaret and Betty.

small yet cosy, clean, comfortable & friendly. Quality food, great cooking skills, at reasonable price. Thanks so much for an enjoyable evening during our day trip to Glasgow.

On entering, it looked pretty small and a bit cramped. But once we were seated there was actually plenty of space. We went for the dinner menu which was reasonably priced. The food was fantastic, everyone enjoyed it and we will definitely go back.

Absolutely outstanding meal last night. Food was great, service smashing and no hint of a rush to get you out the door! We will be back!

Our first visit and will definitely not be our last. it would be very easy to overlook this wonderful restaurant as it's exterior is very understated however the experience inside is straight out of Italy. The decor is perfect and the service could not have been better. We sampled the dinner menu and we're blown away by the rustic quality of the food. The service was equally superb and could see the staff so invested in making this restaurant a stand out.

Fantastic, typically Italian quality, food perfect, service excellent, very pleasant atmosphere, took me back to Italian restaurants of days gone by. Highly recommend to lovers of good food, and such good value for money. Three courses and drinks, superb. Michael.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal tonight with prompt service and good atmosphere. Plenty to choose from on the menu and all three courses didn't disappoint. Would strongly recommend.

Spotless . The food is excellent with very friendly service. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Try the seafood spaghetti dish after the minestrone soup. And if you have enough room left homemade tiramisu.

We had dinner here tonight as it was the first option we saw. Food was average however service was great. Pasta sauce didn’t have much flavor and the margarita pizza was a regular cheese pizza with no basil. Good for a quick meal.

Great service, great food and I would definitely come here again. And they had very good prices. Try the pizza. And they have some good vegan options.

Loved this little gem. The interior is laid back and casual, immaculately clean but unpretentious with a good old-time feel to it. Service is warm and friendly. Food was delicious. We ate from the lunch menu and it was excellent value. Will definitely return.

In a modest environment, very good service, extremely friendly staff and good food. Fair prices

Mum and I came in for dinner after the theatre and it was one of the best Italian meals I have had not only in Glasgow but anywhere. The menu was extensive and every course we had was plentiful and delicious. The woman serving us was amazing and appeared so proud of the restaurant, assume it is owned by herself and family. We had 3 courses each, 2 beers, 1 soft drink, 1 bottle of wine and 1 latte - £95! Amazing value! We have already booked to come back!

Had lunch today. Lovely service & excellent food. Have been coming here for over 20 years & it's consistently good

We had a lovely meal in this great wee restaurant. This was our fourth visit and it was as good as ever. We managed to get our favourite table, next to the door. We do like to people watch! The restaurant was very busy, as Gladys Knight was on at the concert hall, round the corner. We offered to have our after dinner drinks at a table outside. Our wee table inside, was occupied straight away. As always food was excellent. Good sized portions and piping hot. The bottle of Pinot Grigio went down very well too. The staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly. I’m sure they will have enjoyed my attempts at a wee bit of Italian 😂 We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Small Italian cafe. Food was good but not amazing. Pleasant surroundings and spotlessly clean.

Was searching thru a list of Italian restaurants in the area, and Amalfi came out, so we decided to try it out. We were very warmly welcomed, and ordered 4 dishes for 4 people. It was the right amount of food for us and each dish catered to us perfectly! Kudos to the team for creating a memorable dining experience for us! P.S the Linguine Frutti di Mare is THE ONE TO GO👍👍👍

Fantastic food and brilliant friendly staff

Wonderful place,, very delicious food we order margaritas and mozzarella cubes 💖

The staff was welcoming and the atmosphere was charming. Our food was delicious. My husband had the muscles and I had the sea bass. We would highly recommend them both. There was also a wide selection of traditional and vegetarian friendly options.

I came here over 20 years ago by chance now every time I visit Glasgow with friends I always go to Amalfi food and friendly staff always amazing and home made bread is amazing .

Had lunch there today. Best pasta in town after trying 7 other Italian restaurants. Delicious. And very friendly staff.

Always great food and friendly staff

Food is absolutely amazing 👏. Best pizza and pasta I have tasted. Food is always piping hot when served. Staff very friendly. I would highly recommend 👌

First time here. Food, service was very good which was probably the things that impacted on our experience. So busy we felt very rushed to get in and get out. 40 mins in total. No time in between courses to breathe, people waiting for tables. However would recommend.

Fantastic pizzas - and the chicken burger was well received too.

I am in here all the time with my friend and his family who are regulars. The service and food are always spectacular! A little hidden away, but well worth a visit. Pasta is always wonderfully cooked, drinks are great! Special shoutout to their own homemade bread, it’s amazing!

Surprise find after our chosen restaurant cancelled 👌🏻 what a find! Service was brilliant, food was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble, even made us an off menu sweet! 👌🏻👌🏻 will definitely go back 11 out of 10👍🏻

Great food excellent.service Always make a point of eating here when I'm in Glasgow

Sadly we were sat at the door it was very drafty! It took a while for our order to be taken they were vey busy and were only taking people in with reservations others were asked to come back later! I ordered penne carbonara it was not authentic it was made with cream not egg and the ham was not pancetta we ordered garlic bread it was sliced white loaf toasted with butter an a little garlic on top. I was disappointed my friends had Arabiatta and pizza . Pizza was lovely! White and Rose’ wine fair! I’m sorry but we were disappointed and found it expensive for what it was!

Pretty awful meal wouldn't ever go back. Staff harassing you to order and one Italian lady was quite snippy.. bad experience and grossly expensive for what was presented

Food was delicious, reasonable prices and staff were very friendly 😊

After we saw a rating of 4.5 on Google we thought we get a real good Italian. However, good was very normal, which is a 3. friendly personnel though. What can I say? Bread was not fresh, coke in a can, pasta seemed from the supermarket and taste was ‚normal‘. If you just want to eat to fill your stomach it’s good, don’t expect something special Italian. What really was special was the knife for the pizza. This is rare in restaurants (that’s why I mention it) in that I cut the pizza excellently. This wasn’t facetious but I really liked that

Food was amazing my partner & I both had carbonara which was delicious 😋. We were visiting Glasgow for my partners birthday. Staff were lovely would highly recommend going here if you are ever in Glasgow. Or local to Glasgow.

I went there last week purely by chance, because I was passing by and I wanted to eat Italian food. I had some Sorrento gnocchi and some cannelloni. As an Italian, I feel like saying that the food served here is not Italian as there was pepper and onions in my gnocchi, the mozzarella was not Italian and you couldn't really taste it... the tastes were not Italian at all.. ..there were only two cannelloni, even those full of onion (but why do you put it everywhere?) immersed in a pan full of sauce that looked like slop. I'm sorry when food is passed off as Italian, when it isn't, it should be specified when it is adapted to the local cuisine... because in Italy we eat in a completely different way, with fewer ingredients but of high quality and super tasty.

Our first visit to this wonderful restaurant, and certainly won't be our last. Fabulous food, and such warm, friendly and welcoming staff.

Lovely starter and dessert. Main course - spaghetti con vongole, my favourite for many years - very disappointing; a sloshy, watery mess which lacked any sign of traditional garlic and chilli flavours. Small portion. So disappointed.

Both food and service were excellent. Perfect location for Glasgow concert hall. Will 100% be back. There are more fancy Italian restaurants in Glasgow but none as inviting and friendly as this one. The food was hot, tasty and didn't have to wait ages.

Booked set meal for dinner for myself and 2 friends, which was for birthday celebration. The food was very good, tasty and well presented. The staff and service is another matter, I accept and appreciate a quick turnaround is desired by restaurant staff, however to be rushed and be placed under pressure to leave due to demands on service is not on, given we had table for 90 minutes, on this visit, our plates and glasses were removed before my friends and I had even finished. This spoiled an otherwise pleasant meal. Unfortunately, would not recommend

Visited Amalfi for a friend's birthday celebration. Whilst food was tasty and well presented, the service and attitude of staff leave a lot to be desired. It is appreciated that there is a quick turnaround for tables at this venue, but given we had an average time of 90 minutes for our table, we felt rushed and pressured to leave earlier than designated time slot. The staff were rude, removing plates and glasses without even asking if we were finished and constantly stood over our shoulders to clear table etc. Did not feel comfortable with this and the staff's overall attitude seemed to be one of 'eat and get out'. Very poor service and unfortunately would not recommend or return.

This restuarant is amazing both food and service are excellent. The staff are very friendly and were very attentive to all our needs. The restuarant is spotless and it has a great buzz about it. It was very busy but the service was great and we didn't have to wait long on our food which was piping hot and tasted delicious. I cannot fault this restuarant and will be back again.

What a find . We read reviews and booked. What a treat .Food and service was spot on. Will return in may . Oh tiramisu yip is top class . See you soon team Amalfe. Dave and Shona 16.00hrs. 2/3/2024

Amalfi has cemented itself as undoubtedly my family's favourite restaurant anywhere. We always receive world-class, personal service and the food is always of the highest quality. All of the staff have a great passion for providing a dining experience to remember - we struggle to eat out anywhere else (The saltimbocca alla romana is not to be missed!)

Lovely food, good service and fair prices. We both enjoyed tasty piping hot food here. Good service and a lovely restaurant. All good and left happy.

They managed to fit us in at very short notice on a very busy evening. Service was good, food (salmon and one off the special board) were good. Friendly owner/staff, good value. Ideally located for the Royal Concert Hall

Based on the reviews we were expecting a decent meal but regretfully not what we got. Our starters were poor and minestrone soup was a watery disaster. No amount of salt and pepper could save it. Pasta dishes came within about 5 mins of our starters leaving the table. Again, I've tasted better sauces coming out of a jar. We did not attempt to order another disappointing course. So paid up and left. Not for us.....

Superb food and service with a wee bit of attitude. Brilliant. The spaghetti carbonara was first class and I loved the moules frites. My son raved (unusual for a teenager) the Amalfi meatball starter. He also loved the Toffee Twilight dessert. So, here's the thing ... my wife makes superb Tiramisu, so we never order it when we are out, but the waiter challenged me to try it saying it was free if it wasn't as good as my wife's. I paid for the Tiramisu. The Italian Cab Sauv was a steal too at £24 per bottle in the city centre. We will return ........

Good food at affordable prices.

First time at this restaurant. We came for my better half's birthday as a recommendation. I am glad we listened to that recommendation. Best Italian in glasgow as far as i am concerned. We will definitely be back. Staff were friendly and very professional even during a busy spell as restaurant was full.

Absolutely gorgeous food and service from the girls amazing , the waitress from Bootle was a delight , definitely recommend for a lovely meal.

This wasn't my first visit and I'm pleased to say the place hasn't changed, which is a good thing. Lovely staff and excellent food. We had a great dinner and will absolutely be back, very happy customers.

Finished in the office earlier than expected so wanted some where to grab a quick meal before getting on the coach at the Coach Station & saw this place … so glad I did. The Amalfi Baked Paste was spot on. Service very good and friendly and all done with politeness and no messing.

Lovely little restaurant...we were the only customers for an hour, then suddenly the place filled up! Staff were nice and polite, and made conversation....food was delicious 😋🤤

One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow city centre. It’s definitely a spot you shouldn’t miss. I’ve always loved the vibe in here and the service is excellent. Same staff and servers every time we go in. I Love going here for lunch or Dinner. Their beef stroganoff is a must try for sure. I Highly recommend this place.

Lovely family run restaurant. Excellent food and drink and friendly service. Good value and cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Excellent and staff very friendly

Had a lovely meal at Amalfi last night, from the soup, main course, coffee and wine, everything was beautifully cooked and delicious, and house wine which I only tried recently tasted lovely

Love this place my favourite italian

Brilliant authentic food and great offers.

Totally forgot to review this place when we were in Glasgow few months ago. Ateended a concert nearby and the obvious choice for dinner was Amalfi. We were a bit worried we wouldn't get a seat but the lovely staff managed to find us a table immediately. Such friendly staff and the food is fantastic. Will visit again when in the area.

Went here last night on Hogmanay and glad we did, food and staff where lovely , really enjoyed it, good atmosphere and setting defo be back when back at Premier Inn which is a minutes walk from it

There is no better place to go for Italian food (and that includes Italy!). My wife and I have been there numerous times and enjoyed wonderful food every time. On this occasion my brother, who is not a particular fan of Italian food, was with us as well as his wife. He stated that he has never enjoyed this type of food so much! The gamberoni starter is the best I've had anywhere. Any pasta or pizza dishes we've had are also delicious on every visit. I can't praise the food enough so try it for yourself and find out! The staff are very pleasant and helpful which also goes to making dining there a great experience.

Not the biggest place so don’t expect it to be like a chain restaurant.Dropped in for a quick lunch,2 plates of penne pasta that was really tasteful and really hot always better hot,,we shared a tiramisu was perfect nice and creamy.service and quickness was 1st...

Absolutely fabulous, booked for dinner on a Saturday as part of a weekend away. The Pizza and Stroganoff were perfect. The service and view of the kitchen reinforced the passion for perfection that we experienced.

Excellent food again on our return visit. Staff so friendly and helpful. Great value. Thanks 😊

Really great menu wide choice including set menu’s for lunch and dinner. The special board had a good selection. Definitely would go back. Great service.

This is only a small place, practically a corridor, but that doesn't take away from the friendly helpful service or the excellent food. Lasagna and pizza were both outstanding and the tiramisu was spectacular. Would go back tomorrow.

Table for five tonight .Convenient in traffic. Comfort environment, delicious food and excellent service…
