Bar Vini in Glasgow City

Had dinner here tonight again with family for daughters birthday ,staff busy but always polite food was good as before can't pick any faults only 1 thing tho as I don't drink alcohol they didn't stock diet irnbru..

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere!

Fantastic food, great dinner and awesome Tiramisu! Wine was lovely too and staff friendly. Definitely recommend!

Visited twice now and I LOVEEEEE it The servers are always super friendly, willing to recommend their favourite dishes, cocktails and the best bottle of vino rosso to go with P.S The tiramisu is insane

Excellent food, drinks, service, décor and ambiance. A guaranteed goodyin. I highly recommend the house special prawn linguine.

Went here tonight with a few friends, the arancini was delicious however the pasta dishes lacked seasoning and I’m afraid the chicken I got was drenched in oil.

Visited with my partner for dinner and my expectations were exceeded in all facets. Immediately the atmosphere was attractive. Great service. Stunning menu. Beautiful cocktails. Absolutely would return and recommend

This place is a gem. Great service and a lovely vibe. The cocktails are tasty and the food was very good. Starter portions were decently sized so as not to fill you up too much for your mains. My husband found his pasta dish slightly soupy but otherwise the food was very good. I’d recommend the mushroom lasagna.

Absolutely delicious. In my opinion excellent value and the fact the restaurant is jumping proves that. Staff really efficient and friendly

Absolutely love this place, delicious food, warm friendly atmosphere and the cocktails are some of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Lovely meal, loved the sauce, very nice wine, great service. Very accommodating, we turned up a week early🤔Booked again and bringing along 2 friends.

Great food VG service and a very nice atmosphere👍👍👍👍

We visited on a Wednesday evening and arrived at 850 pm only to discover that last orders were 845 pm so posted this to alert others.

Really cool, welcoming bar serving up potent cocktails and the usual drinks. Food looked like hearty Italian fayre, but we didn't try it on the day. Maybe next time. Highly recommend the Gentleman Rico

Had an amazing meal at bar vini the staff where fabulous especially Aiden who spoke us thru the menu and his recommendations where spot on 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Lasagne and wine wednesday deal for £15, very delicious would recommend

First time we’ve been to this little restaurant, and won’t be the last. Celebrating our wedding anniversary and using a gift voucher we got at Christmas. Had heard good things - but didn’t really know what to expect. Staff were very friendly and helpful (were happy to turn down the music volume on request). Service was prompt without being rushed, and the quality of the food was really good. We started with balsamic onions, focaccia and arancini, followed by Ravioli and Pollo Milanese - all were presented nicely, and very tasty. The Grillo, house wine, was pleasantly dry and sharp - just what we like. We didn’t have room for desert, so opted for decent tasting coffees. Cost was reasonable, and we really enjoyed the meal. We’ll be back.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and drinks. The Arribiata Margarita's were a perfect finish to a fabulous evening. Will be back

Genuinely warm and friendly staff, nice beats and delicious food

Fast service, staff went out of their way to help us, wine was fantastic, the Sardinian beer is lovely, food was rich and flavourful, tried some dishes I'd never had before too

Lovely restaurant, great pasta and slightly less great cocktails but overall very enjoyable.

Not gonna say what I had (can’t spell it 😊) cause I bet all of everything you get at Bar Vini is great anyway. Staff were superb. Thanks for your help with the ordering and the wines. Really, really enjoyed myself. I can see why it’s so busy (but you coped so well) I hope you keep me a place for tomorrow! Thank you Bar Vini.

Great night out with my family, we all loved it.

Hands down the best Italian food in Glasgow. Absolutely gorgeous interior, service was fab. And the food was even better!

Been looking forward to trying this place but I got the beef shin ragu and really wanted to ask for salt or something to add flavour. The sauce was just quite bland and whilst it looked amazing and staff were top notch I don't think I'll go back. My sister ordered the pumpkin pasta and had similar feedback, quite gutted as I really wanted to enjoy it but it was mediocre

This place is amazing. A hidden gem. The place is trendy and was full of younger people but I did not feel out if place. The food was stunning. If I had to pick fault the tiramisu was basic and no added touches . No ice cream wild berries etc it tasted good but was more a slab of it in a plate. Now the starters and mains were a different class. Fresh made, real depth of flavour in the sauces

A fabulous meal. Sat at the bar. Started off with a couple of amazing cocktails mixed by Q. Love a negroni and their twist was fab. Food excellent as per usual. Pasta cooked to perfection. Loved the ambiance and the chat. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Beautiful restaurant and food was delicious 😋

Delightful evening at Bar Vini as always. The food was delish, service attentive and atmosphere spot on! Would highly recommend!

Really tasty food and good portion sizes. Great value for money. The service was a bit slow but it was very busy so that’s fair.

Amazing food, our server was exceptional. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back

Amazing Italian, fun, happy, and lively environment. Staff and service are all fab, they can’t do enough for you. Food to die for! Cocktails looked amazing too.

Such a great time spent at Bar Vinis last Saturday for my son’s wedding celebrations. The food was fabulous from start to finish and the staff were friendly and attentive. Altogether a fantastic end to a very special day- thank you all

Our first time going here but my daughter has been many times, definitely didn't disappoint. Food was very good, big portions. Actually one main course could have done my husband and I especially after having the starters. Have no photos as I don't take photos of my food...I like to dig into it 😂

I visited here last night with a friend and everything we ordered was delicious. So much flavour. A real gem in the Southside.

The pasta was divine and we went on a Wed which turned out to be a deal of a pasta and glass of wine for £14. Brilliant!

Genuinely one of the best restaurants in Glasgow. I would recommend the porcini & parmesan pasta, absolutely insane. Pictured is the prawn and monkfish linguine which was excellent also.

been meaning to review this place for ages - often pop in for drinks and snacks as its so friendly. The bar staff are amazing, they are wizards of cocktail creation! the food is tasty hearty and Italian - gorgeous and yummy!. Had the fennel salad and focaccia on saturday - stunning ! thanks guys.

Took my girlfriend for her birthday. The staff were super nice. I asked to put a bottle of prosecco on the table for our arrival. You would be amazed how many times I have asked for this at specials occasions and they have not followed through. Food was spectacular. I had the monkfish. Was the business. My partner adored her charcuterie starter. The portions were great and the gorgonzola was of a high standard. Drinks were nice. Solid Negroni. Place had a great atmosphere too. Would highly recommend for any fans of Italian food. Contender for best in the city. Brilliant evening.

Lovely atmosphere and great staff! Me and my husbands new favourite Italian in the city. Best fresh pasta by a mile!

We had an early evening appointment. Menu is not extensive but there are enough options to choose from. This was not our first time, the food was why we came back. We had Focaccia and Arancini to start, Porcini Ravioli and Linguini with Prawn and Monkfish for mains. Really good portions with lots of flavour, recommend Focaccia with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Plenty of monkfish and prawns, really tasty, melt in the mouth, one of the dearer options but so worth the money. Cocktails and beers slightly dearer than I would prefer. Overall, we will continue to go as the food is well worth it. All staff are very friendly although the music continues to be louder than I would prefer. Still able to chat to each other but the music can intrude at times.

The best place for an occasion or just a chill dinner. We came for a graduation and it was unbelievable service and the food was delicious! Food came quick without feeling rushed, would definitely recommend to anyone!

Our favourite place to go. Amazing pasta and cocktails! Love that there are several great vegan options that gave been carefully thought through to be just as delicious as the rest of the menu and definitely not an afterthought. The drinks list is also great and we're never disappointed by the cocktails on special. 10/10 service. Good overall vibe. You need to book well in advance to get a table and you can see why!

Just awesome, every single dish and drink. Best I've had anywhere so far. Highly highly recommended this place.

I visited here with one of my friends last night (a Friday evening in June). We hadn’t booked but we’re lucky enough to get a table where a booking had failed to show. The welcome we received was wonderful and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive - round of applause for the staff! We ordered olives to nibble which were absolutely spot with a bottle of white (I can’t recall which one we had) on then shared a serving of Arancini and burrata. The burrata was delicious and the pesto was absolutely amazing. The Arancini blew us away, a generous serving and tasted wonderful. We shared 2 pasta dishes after, a ragu and a fennel sausage dish. They were both absolutely phenomenal but the ragu was hands down without a doubt the best pasta dish I’ve ever had in my life. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly and had such great gesture, the sauce was perfect. I will 100% be returning here.

great food, great staff, great olives🫒

Waitress service was a bit slow but it was very busy. We were seated at the bar and received great service and banter from barman.

Really delicious food and amazing service (thanks Mikey!!)

1st time tonight , came on a recommendation and they where spot on , lovely atmosphere, great food, nice cocktails, fab staff…… what more could one ask for 😊 we'll definitely be back 😊

The fennel salad was really great. The pasta was delicious and the portions are very generous. I would recommend.

Amazing dinner and excellent customer service

1000000 degrees, obnoxiously loud. Pretty decent pasta

Best restaurant we’ve eaten in Glasgow so far! Chilled and great service. So happy they had my fav Italian wine. Prawn and monkfish linguine was amazing.

Everything about Vini is spot on, I absolutely love it. Incredible food, amazing cocktails, brilliant atmosphere and really lovely, welcoming staff. The bar team know how to make a cocktail! The food was so good that I booked in for dinner for the second time that week. Cool tunes, trendy decor, great vibe. Could not recommend it enough!

Food great, service good but music a little loud for a resteraunt

The food, cocktails, service and atmosphere are all top tier. If you’ve never been, definitely go here. The only downside is that the menu is small and hadn’t changed in the half a dozen times we’ve been. We would love to see what else the chefs here could do.

A lovely wee place. Very reasonably priced. My wife and I enjoyed olives and foccacia for starters to share. We both had pasta for mains. I seriously recommend the Prawn and Monkfish Linguinne. It was amazing and very generous with the amount of fish and prawns.

We visited last night. Great experience from start to finish. Lovely helpful & welcoming staff. Good ambience with candles & lighting. Food great - for both portions & flavours. Enjoyed their cocktail and pasta deal - amazing value.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, knowledgeable and friendly staff. One of the best dining experiences I had in Glasgow! Thank you kindly.

Good food and service, highly recommended.

The best meal I've had in Glasgow. So so good. Delicious, overly generous portions, great atmosphere, attentive and friendly service. Couldn't ask for more. Tysm for looking after us so well!😊

Excellent Italian in Glasgow. Beats a lot of place in London I’ve been to. Service was friendly and attentive with water consistently topped up. As someone else has said, the pasta portions are large so you could share one between two. More value for money! Definitely go here, you wouldn’t be disappointed. Thought I was in Italy for a minute, until we left and it was raining - course, it’s Scotland!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE WAS AMAZING STAFF COULDN'T DO ENOUGH FOR US WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK xx

Eaten here many times, food and service always excellent.

Always a wonderful experience, with great staff and fantastic food. A must if you're in the Southside.

Cocktails? Good! Pasta? Good! Service? Good!

Food was distinctly average, in fact I left most of mine. Expensive for a plate of pasta (£14) Smallest glass of wine ever, in a dirty glass, squashed into a tiny table, elbows width from next table. Would probably be better off as a bar. Staff friendly that's the only positive thing I have to say about it.

Been twice now, it’s a nice place. The food is fine - classic Italian stuff done well. Staff are lovely. Nothing out of this world. Service a bit slow which is normally nice but they ask for the table back too quickly. Gets too hot - needs ventilation. The cocktails are more exciting than the food.

Fabulous service, lovely food and delicious cocktails.

Only criticism is they're going with a 90 minute table policy. It's not a great idea, feels a bit rushed. Maybe try adding another 10-15 minutes. Part of a good experience is not being rushed out of a place however great the staff are about it. Still giving it 5 stars because it's a brilliant place, food, tunes, drinks, and especially the staff, are all top!

The staff here are amazing. Asked us what our dietary requirements were as soon as we sat down and then talked us through the menu accordingly. Cocktails were excellent and a little different to elsewhere. Food was AMAZING. Will definitely be back

Top drawer. The best pasta available in Glasgow. Lovely relaxed vibe, good service and terrific cocktails.

Lovely food, great service. Been 2 nights in a row and can’t fault it. Thank you Bar Vini.

good food, good wine, good prices

The food here is excellent and they do nice cocktails too. Very friendly host as well and I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Was in for a drink the other night, atmosphere was nice, music was right. Staff were into it. A barman called Q: engaging, sharp, witty, big man Daiquiri. Perfect service. Strongly advise a visit.

My friend and I had a magnificent meal at Bar Vini. We had the prawns, arrinncini balls, focaccia and olives to start. All excellent - especially the prawns they were next level, the sauce they came in had an incredible mix of flavours. For main we had the beef shin Ragu and the Gorgonzola Ravioli - both were simply outstanding. Pasta was cooked to perfection and was nice and hot when it arrived. There was so much flavour in both and they had a bit of crunch with the crispy onions and breadcrumbs - honestly so satisfying. Really good portion sizes as well which you don’t often get in a lot of restaurants. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, shout-out to Chloe & Chris who both knew about the wines and made us feel very welcome. All in all, smashing spot - can’t believe I’ve never been before - will definitely be back A1

Food was sensational. Staff were amazing. Vibe was really cool. Nothing to fault in all honesty. Pasta Pomodoro for our 18 month son, delicious and he devoured the lot. Burrata starter to share; delicious and creamy. Lasagna and Pollo Milanese mains.....pasta al dente and sauce rich in flavour. Really cool vibe for dinner and drinks with friends, or early family dinner. Recommend 100%

Fabulous service, delicious food, great cocktails. Tunes were great as well.

I got here eventually - been trying for ages - and was blown away. Fantastic tortellini, great staff, small menus which is always a good sign, all added up to a fantastic night. Very impressed by everything about the place. We had a wait for a taxi and they were happy for us to sit in a back bit for a drink.

food is great. staff is great. aesthetic is on point. 10/10 would recommend!! also really good prices

Food was excellent. Service was great Music was a bit too loud for dinner though

Good place- good service and food. Shame about music- what about a more Italian vibe? Maybe Mina, Paulo Conte, Fabrizio De Andre…

Just this morning I was saying the last few Italians I had eaten at were lacking in atmosphere and depth of flavour while also having poor lighting strangely. Bar Vini does all three of those things perfectly. Such a great atmosphere even though it was quiet. The lighting was perfect and I couldn't ask for more from the service. A beautiful interior making great use of the space. Everything they were going for is just bang on. The food was excellent. Large portions of great tasting well prepared food. Not much else I can say. I had the beef shin as recommended by the nice guy at the bar with the fedora. A special mention to the fedora man too who did a lovely job recommending food and drink. I will be back and I'll be telling others to visit soon too!

We went in on Xmas eve. Staff were great as was the atmosphere and tunes . The cocktails were on top and the food was delicious!!! The menu is small, but what they do, they do it great. Will defo be a new fave for us😊

6 of us where in yesterday the food,ambience, music and service was excellent. The young guy serving us was very knowledgeable on the menu and drinks.We had a great time and most definitely will be making this a regular venue to visit. Well Done.

Food was sublime. Portions if anything were too big. Could be a few more options on the menu in terms of mains, but everything else was superb. Cocktails and the barmen were 10/10. Serving the cocktails with some napkins at the bar would be a nice touch *sticky tables*

Fantastic, fresh food and fun cocktails. Great selection of wines. Nice cosy vibe.

Excellent experience. Great food and cocktails. Will be back 🤘

Strange location, but regardless great feel to the place inside, good food and good drinks. Definitely an Italian to finish in the southside of Glasgow.

Just phenomenal! We were lucky to spend an evening in Bar Vini last night and it was perfection! From the cocktails to the service to the food and the vibe! The staff are just absolutely sensational in this place and I rarely have experienced such an enthusiastic and passionate team! Bar Vini had such a New York vibe and feel to it that we were transported to Lower Manhattan for the evening! The food was authentic Italian scrummyness! Just the best night! I have booked already to go again next Saturday! A truly special place in Glasgow!

This is our favorite place in Glasgow - or at least in top-3. The food is delicious, and the cocktails are a work of art.

Good ambience, great staff, lovely cocktails will hopefully be back. Italian food is great because of its simplicity, it would take something amazing for an Italian to get a fifth star tbf

The service was fantastic, especially the tall lassie with the blonde hair (sorry that I didn't catch her name). The atmosphere was pleasant, the restaurant was busy with most tables occupied. I was left feeling underwhelmed about the food. The appetisers weren't to my taste (but no big deal) and the king prawn anti pasti dish was drowned in oil. The prawns were well cooked though. We decided to go elsewere for dessert.

Cocktails was surprisingly good. The carbonara pizza was of another league.

Absolutely fabulous meal and cocktails. Service was great.

Love this place. Great food and AMAZING staff.

My son was the head chef here so we had special treatment

Gorgeous food, great drink. Great atmosphere but also very friendly to little ones.

Fantastic food and mocktails. We keep coming back for more
