La Vita Barrachnie in Glasgow City

We are regulars at the sister restaurant Picolino et vino and decided to try the Barrachnie one. We were not disappointed. Great service in a beautiful restaurant and the food was brilliant from start to finish. It was first class from start to finish.

Another great visit to La Vita Barrachnie. As usual, the service was great. The food was its usual exceptional quality, and the portions were terrific. The ambience was great as well. I had the Penne Mia Casa, and it was absolutely terrific. I would recommend this restaurant any time.

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner at the restaurant. The ambiance was beautifully romantic, with thoughtful decorations, a delightful atmosphere, and excellent food. Although there was a slight delay at the start, Secander's exceptional customer service more than made up for it. His polite and attentive manner truly enhanced our dining experience. Thank you, Secander, for making our evening so special!

Food was delicious we all enjoyed it. The staff are all lovely and nothing is any trouble for them. The decor is beautiful and the toilets are always spotlessly clean.

Fab food and atmosphere. Nice touch when they brought over a birthday ice cream with a big sparkler and sang happy birthday to my son. I didn't even ask them too!! 🥰

Amazing food & even better service. We visited for my mums 50th & the staff were brilliant – very attentive and caring. Food was really quick & delicious. And we managed to feed 5 people for under £100 inc drinks! I had left a note saying we were visiting for a birthday & the staff gave us a dessert with a sparkler & sung happy birthday free of charge! What a lovely surprise!

What a beautiful restaurant I was treating my family to a nice meal together and it was made better by the food and the staff atmosphere was amazing so many birthdays on the night and the staff did not miss a single one such a special place. Thank you La Vita barachnnie. X

What great place to go all round wad so good. Usually very busy plan ahead to get a good table.

Beautiful interior with arches of pink flowers which leads to an intimate atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food is great. There was no rush for the table and business was brisk. The Scottish breakfast was filling and the pancakes in caramel sauce was delicious.

Having gone on Saturday 8 th March for a special birthday service was slow , meal was fine , took a while for table to be cleared after main meal then told we had 20 min for dessert although from email we had 1 hour 20 min , not being served and eating quick we declined the 20 min , and the cocktails , very disappointing service and understanding from manageress was very poor , from being regulars we now won’t be back unfortunately!!!!!

Atmosphere was great , seated right away and had our food and drinks order in no time. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Enjoyed our meal, service was good & nice atmosphere. Only downside was, I had requested a table as close as possible to the door as 2 of our group were disabled. We were seated near the back of the restaurant

La vita barrachnie is sensational. The food is incredible, beautiful setting and the staff are what makes it the most. They are welcoming and attentive. So helpful. Never disappoints.

There for my brother in law's birthday on a Monday night and the restaurant was busy. At least 4 other birthdays there too. Food was great and the decor is a bit unusual but nice

Lovely atmospheric Italian, exquisite food and beautiful bathroom!

As always excellent food and great service.

Good food, Superb service and reasonable prices. Make sure not to forget to visit the Cake shop!!

Food was fine but special fish was halved 2 make 2 meals service was great only downside was had dirty cutlery on table before we eat which will stop me from going back

I visited this La Vita for my niece’s birthday dinner. The restaurant is well decorated and has quite a romantic ambience. We opted for the daytime menu which was £14.95 for a starter and main which I think is excellent value. I had the mozzarella fritta to start and my partner had the polpette. Both were nice but slightly bland. For mains, I had the salsiccia picante pasta which was really tasty and a huge portion. My partner has the Pan roasted chicken thighs which he really enjoyed, and said tasted great. Overall, food is pretty good with big portion sizes and very reasonable in price. The service was excellent. I will definitely be visiting again!

Lasagne served in a bowl Magartia not enough chees Kids small drink 450 Over all was not worth 2010 pounds Bland bland

EDITED- SEE BELOW It is one of my favorite restaurants. Delicious Italian foods always fresh and high quality products used. I am more than happy that day when it's time to visit LA Vita Barrachnie. Great staff and atmosphere. I can Highly recommend 👌 🥰🥰 In addition to great experience with la vita, Unfortunately I am disappointed for not the first time. I bought my pistachio doughnut and pistachio croissant 10minutes ago. I asked if these were fresh, and baked today. The nice guy confirmed that yes 100% sure they were fresh.. Well... almost £13 for these 2 things. Money wasted. This is 2nd time when I bought old ones pistachio croissants and doughnuts for a thousand dollars. Very disappointed...

One of the worst overpriced meals I have had, also a table for four next to the toilet with a view of customers going in and out the toilet all night on Friday night which was very busy. Cocktails overpriced food ie Calzone with large either dip or soup cold and tasteless, and I am definitely not a fussy eater plus the bill was £187. LA VITA NO MORE FOT US FOUR.

Fresh and very tasty food. The atmosphere and design of this restaurant is impressive. The staff is very friendly. The kitchen is great, they work quickly despite the large flow of people. I recommend it!🌹🫶

A very enjoyable Sunday afternoon family meal. Good food friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Stay local as this Restaurant is one of the best and the Best La Vita, Italians in Glasgow. Tasty food, great atmosphere and the friendly staff.

Great desserts even to take away! A little on the pricey side but huge portion.

Beautiful birthday meal at La Vita, been meaning to go here for ages and it didn't disappoint, will definitely return, lots on the menu I would love to try next time n Beautiful decor inside the restaurant

Huge delicious portions, freshly made and the staff are all really friendly.

Booked at short notice for a family birthday. Arrived and the restaurant was packed but we were shown to our table immediately and supplied with menus and water while considering our drinks and food choices. Drinks arrived promptly and food followed soon after despite the place being so busy. Everything was delicious. Be warned, portions are generous! One person had the Margherita pizza and said it was the best he had tasted. The Penne Matteo is amazing. Staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. This is the third family birthday we've had at La Vita Barrachnie and it never disappoints. Very happy to recommend this restaurant.

Thank you we had a lovely meal and so accommodating with the booking today as roads were a bit crazy we ended up late. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant. Staff are excellent, and the food is brilliant. Would highly recommend

Were on a trip to Fort stopped in for food! New customer omg so PRETTY one beautiful place and food to die for!! New favourite place!!

A busy place so best to book a table! The food is very good - served by friendly polite staff. We'd 2 starters, and 2 main courses, and were 'stuffed'. Full. 2 soft drinks , and the total bill was £55 so really good value.

Beautiful restaurant, very very busy when we arrived and I wasn’t too happy with our seat, but the service was excellent and the food was fabulous.

Booked a table for 4pm got great speedy service and waiter was very helpful, we got pizza and pasta which was delicious I'll definitely go back.

Food was lovely. Chippy chips and beautiful pizza. staff very friendly and attentive great service. Lovely decoration.

As loyal customers that have had mamy visits , family occasions and buisness meeting we will never ever return . My parents called and orderd a take away at no point where they told it could be a wait or any issues raised . They waited over two hours and the food arrived frozen cold and unedible no problem they thought give them a wee call and a quix fix how wrong where they a manager shuruged it off and told them they could have it redliverd but could be anothe two hours wait they declined . I called next day on her behalf i spoke with a manger who could not understand me i repeated myself multiple times and he called me back multiple times to check what i had said he then told me he would call me at 12.30 . I waited all day no call so i phoned and spoke to another manager who was rude , dissmisve and could not be botherd to speak with me and told me to email marco so i did NOW THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS !! MARCO THE OWNER calls me traight away his attitude was disgusting speaking over me , dissmisve no empathy just excuse after excuse instead of finding a soloution to my complaint he SCEAMED AT ME DOWN THE PHONE DO YOU NO WHAT DONT COME BACK i was in work and the call was witnessed by four other buisness proffesionals in the hospitaly trade who where all utterly dumb founded at the manner of his vile and nasty way he communicated himself if this is how he treats loyal customers i am utterly shocked and i urge everyone to read the delivery reviews because if you have an issue all you will get is attitude and no conclusion to a genuine complaint AVOID

Restaurant fab and such a nice location to eat. Portions generous, staff so friendly and attentive. Food was fabulous and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely return soon. Thank you 😊

I wouldn't recommend the Italian stew,it was very tough.I told the waiter,he said I should have told him sooner.

Every aspect of our evening was great, from the service and the staff, who were really accommodating and answered any questions we had, to the menu, which I have to say was excellent, to have a great Italian that does world class chip shop on top of amazing cakes and patisserie, I'm just sad my wife and I only found out about this jem ten minutes from home now.

Beautiful interior and staff are exceptional, value money as well for the standard of food

Great restaurant. Fabulous service and wonderful meal. New fav.

First visit here tonight for an early dinner with my wife the food was fantastic and the price of the meal was cheap consideringthe qualityof the food, pizza pastas and side dishes were all 5 star. Need to give the waiters and waitresses a mention the service was superb we will definitely be back again

Very nice , food was great , but it was too dim !! Could barely read the menu

Love the fact chicken is halal! Beautiful interior decor, bit pricey but nice to go once in a while for special occasions etc! Went for friends bday & they sang her happy birthday & came with a firework sparkler on a dessert :)

Been coming here for a while now, mainly because the food is bang on! Even when I've strayed from my usual faves (I'm a creature of habit), I have to say the grub was still good. Service can be slow to start, a bit of a wait for 1st drinks and ordering, but the staff are great, friendly and welcoming. Good vibe in the place and decent prices. Well worth a visit!

Lovely decor, great food and quick service from staff.

Took my wife for a meal tonight .We were shown to a table basically right away but sat for almost 20 min without being offered a drink. 2 girls came in about 10 min after we did and they were served before us .I then got up put my jacket on went to the bar and told the girl there that we were here before the 2 girls who are being served as we speak and I said to her we are not prepared to wait any longer and left.Very poor service for such a beautiful restaurant. Have eaten there before food is fine but is spoiled by very very poor service. If you want a really nice meal with very friendly staff you should try la vita in Bishopbriggs you will not be disappointed. Won't be back at la vita Barrachnie.

Lovely restaurant food was exceptional...service could have improved slightly but not going to moan worth a visit for sure

Unbelievable food with amazing service and a stunning interior

Asked for a booth and was told we could only get in for 1 hour 30 mins. Took 39 mins to get served so that was only 1 hour

Again, this was another fantastic dining experience. This time, I attended with the same friends after a birthday celebration lunch here a few months back. We chose to dine here for our Christmas night out before heading into Glasgow town centre. This restaurant oozes with Festival feel, ambience and atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Outside, be prepared to be Wowed by the stunning Christmas decorations La Vita style. Once you enter, the vibrant atmosphere continues as you walk through the beautiful archways of deep pink cherry blossom trees and flowers. I orederd a pink gin and lemonade, the girls.ordered strawberry daiquiri Mocktails, ginger ale beetroot and lime. I then ordered from the Christmas menu of Italian stew, served with a creamy mash and succulent and colourful seasonable vegetables, and finished off with the mini Christmas Glory. Both dishes were delicious and well presented. My friends ordered from the A La Carte, they chose a starter of spicy brushetta and a generous portion of calamari, mains were half pizza and pasta, which were also well presented and delicious. Another fantastic dining experience, and we just had to visit the bakery and bought the mouthwatering strawberry tart towers wrapped in beautiful boxes.

Amazing staff were very helpful and friendly food was delicious and the company even better will be back with the girls in the future

Another brilliant Christmas Lunch at La Vita

Food is to die for!! Great service, amazing atmosphere. Giovani was our waiter and he was very authentic and charming! Did I mention the food was stunning? We also went to their cakeaway on our way out for the most amazing desserts that we could eat at home as we were so full! Can't wait to go back here!

The ambience is quite pleasant, and the staff are courteous. The food was exceptionally delicious.

Fantastic night for daughters birthday, food amazing, just a lovely place I say,👍

Very poor service, unfortunately! Went for a business lunch yesterday with my colleagues. We had a booking for 12:00. The food arrived 1pm to our tables - lengthy waiting but we were a group of 14, so we can still accept that. However, 2pm sharp, once the waiters cleaned our plates and we were having our coffees, and also when I was in the middle of a conversation with my colleague, the waitress approached us asking how we are going to pay, printing the receipt, expecting us to stand up and queue to make the payment. She asked my husband if he can use his calculator to count how much we should pay. Once we paid she went “that’s you; we’re not gonna ask you to wash your dishes, bye now”. We were absolutely shocked - she bothered us when we were speaking and then she suggested we should leave. The owner of this please should definitely focus on a proper staff training as waitress’ behaviour was unacceptable! Very poor experience!

wouldnt recommend, rude staff, average food

I booked a table for a business lunch. The staff were great as always. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. Many of my guests commented on how nice the venue was and the food. We will be back again in January!

First visit to La Vita despite living locally. Beautifully designed and decorated inside Spacious and comfortable. Food was very good and staff friendly. First visit but certainly not our last.

Great place to eat. Would definitely recommend it. We will be back in the future. Food was amazing with good size portions and very reasonably priced. Staff were lovely, very attentive.

We really enjoyed our visit to La Vita. Restaurant inside looks great with the different seating areas. Menu is impressive also with loads of choice and also has gluten free pasta. We all loved our food. Service was excellent, really quick and efficient. Cannot fault it and I'd definitely visit again.

Excellent food, lovely staff in a very attractive place.

Fabulous birthday brunch today, service amazing 👏 😊 thank you, thoroughly recommend 😃

Dropped in without a booking as we were passing by. We ordered from the set lunch menu which is reasonably priced and has lots of choices. Really nice Italian food served in a lovely restaurant with friendly, attentive staff and is well worth a visit.

Took my sis in law here for lunch to show off our local Italian restaurant.My food was lovely and the lasagne was nearly as good as my ricetta di famiglia.Unfortanly my sister in-laws was not .We did mention it to the waiter but it fell on deaf ears

Best restaurant this side of the city

Lovely food. Attentive staff. Great night out. Good atmosphere too. It was also cosy. Will be going again in the not too distant future!

Very good value for evening and lunch menu good portions. Busy Saturday evening but service and food was fab

Easy booking, delicious food, helpful friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Service was speedy but we in no way felt rushed.

Food was so tasty even the salad was delicious staff where friendly and welcoming we had a lovely girl severe use always with a smile on her face and good attitude will definitely be back.

First visit taken by a friend. Staff very good, attentive and informative. Full menu and good portions with lovely flavour. Visited at lunchtime and used the lunch menu.

Couldn't recommend enough. Service and food so good. Really nice place to take family or friends. Great choice of Italian food Food portions are so big so keep this in mind also desserts are massive and delicious. Absolutely fantastic.

Chicken jalapeños bites were the best, special pasta was good.. Mia casa I think needed more cream/sauce. A lot of eating in the deserts. Would definitely go back, atmosphere is really nice, beautifully decorated, pleasant staff

Great food and service. 100% need to check out the desserts especially the strawberry tart

Food great staff very attentive 5 🌟.

Nice Lunch, Amazing location Very good welcome by Giovanni and the staff. Must try all the pastry at the takeaway side. Really recommend x Every time is always a beautiful experience Cheers

Went for my daughter birthday great place and service and food amazing

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and service as always

Was in on a Friday night place was full. Loved it. Beautiful place food superb service superb. Will be back

Lovely food, great vibes and staff were so attentive

Beautiful place inside, food is absolutely banging and the price isn't bad either for what you get

Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Glasgow. The vegetarian pizza and cheesecake were top notch. Look forward to visiting again. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere. Centrally located too.

Always great food and great service

Great autentic food and great service

Nice place, busy...mains brought and starters weren't cleared! but service pleasant

Good food, good service, will return 👌

It's one of my favourite restaurants. Delicious food and friendly staff.

Had a lovley meal here 19th September for my birthday food was excellent, and our waitress kerrie couldn't have done anymore for us such a pleasant young girl 👌

My wife and I visited the restaurant on a busy Friday night. It's bigger than I expected and the staff worked really well. Food, delicious. Service, excellent. We will definitely be back. Didn't take pics of the food, just ate it.

Bring a torch to read the menu the place is too dark. The cost of a soft drink is expensive, (I complained). The food was OK, the staff were very good. I live across the road and I won't be back

Class food, great service and the place to be.

Amazing service! Great food! Can’t wait to be back. The staff are all lovely, friendly and great. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Brilliant lunch - daytime menu is such good value with great portion sizes. Gorgeous surroundings and excellent service.

Great place, great food, great staff!

Great food and service. Always a go to

Delicious food, excellent service, and amazing staff!

Definitely worth a visit ,absolutely delicious food

This place was beautiful inside. Didn't eat the food. I just went for a latte n a minute just passing thru to be fair. Whilst the bar person was gracious . The manager was rude, pompous 1and clearly judge if ur don't look ur best. Don't go. If u need to charge ur phone don't go.
