Little Italy in Glasgow City

Been coming here since it opened and the food quality has always improved. Take aways are swift and the dine in experience is great. Pizza's are fantastic and customisable. they have a good selection of pastas that can be taken away hot or cold to heat at home later, focaccias for something lighter and an ever changing selection of cakes.

The cake is sweet but nice The soup is basic taste like Subway stuff and the bread was cold, not good. Most disappointedly they using can pesto I believed, not fresh does not worth trying.

A wonderful experience in every way.

Such a friendly place - service is brilliant and the pizza and desserts are just perfect. Really kid friendly as well

The staff at the restaurant were very kind and friendly. Even though it was very busy, one of the staff members helped my sister and me find a seat inside the restaurant.They were very patient, and their service was excellent. The food was also really good, and they didn’t take too long to serve it.

If you love pasta and pizza, it's a must visit. Very busy with a lovely atmosphere. The spaghetti bolognaise was amazing!

Excellent Pizza and friendly staff.

1 vez en la calle visitando Little Italy mi sobrina y yo fuimos cálidamente recibidos y mostrados a una mesa arriba rápidamente. Nuestra comida era preciosa y jovencita que nos cuidó era muy amable y amable. Definitivamente volveré. Gracias.

Despite several empty tables was refused a table downstairs with a newborn baby in a pram. Shocking! The only place that has ever not accommodated our baby.

Excelente comida excelente relación calidad-precio. Ensalada de burratta de champiñones al ajo y los deslizadores de pizza. Fue realmente delicioso volveré

great food, delicious garlic bread. staff lovely. at first we were at a very small table but thankfully got moved to a booth. super.

Relaxed city vibe, good food, respectful service. A great place to escape the hussle for a while and reflect.

Excellent staff looked after us really well .my daughter was well catered for in a wheelchair. And food was delicious

A favourite lunch venue. Friendly, efficient service either very decent fare. The wine selection is small but very good.

Nos encanta este restaurante en familia, pero no volveremos de nuevo como nos cobraron. 50 p para un pequeño Taza de té de agua caliente. Enfermedad, y una desgracia total. Somos amantes de la comida como familia en Glasgow, y este es el PRIMER restaurante que nos ha cobrado dinero por una pequeña taza de agua caliente. Entiendo perfectamente la presión a la que están sometidos los negocios de restaurantes, pero vamos, esto es realmente tacaño y se lleva el micrófono! Mi dinero también se gana con esfuerzo, y también estoy sufriendo mucho por esta crisis del costo de vida. Little Italy es un viejo negocio establecido desde hace mucho tiempo, así que experimentar esto de ellos fue un gran shock para mi sistema. Sus baños estaban absolutamente sucios y malolientes, lo que fue realmente malo para mi esposa e hija. Nos atendió Annalisa. Gastamos 43 libras. 85 , pero salimos del restaurante muy molestos, enojados y de corazón pesado. NUNCA VOLVEREMOS A MENOS QUE EL RESTAURANTE NOS LLEGUE CON HUMILDAD Y SINCERIDAD

Great little (excuse the pun) find on Byres Road, great food at very reasonable prices. Spotlessly clean and excellent service... staff greet you on entrance and exit. Recommend the Limoncello Spritz for an refreshing aperitif 👍

Always good quality. Sometimes hard to get staff attention when in a hurry but probably wouldn't be problem if planning to relax for longer. Not inexpensive and too much to enjoy often.

Had Penne Salsiccia and it was really delicious. Planned to eat tiramisu too but had to leave mid eating due to personal emergency issues. I would like to come again before I leave Glasgow.

Came fir a breakfast today waited 25 mins bacon and sausage were burnt and the egg underdone usually ok but not today

Great food. Pizzas are fab! Speed of service can be variable depending on how busy it is & tune of day. Great atmosphere though can get a bit noisy if its busy. Lovely staff and a great vantage - people watching spot if sat at the window. Definitely worth going to.

I paid on line with one of your drivers last week as on December 2024 that month I love ❤️ pizza but on line the extra cheese and more with extra pizza slice and onion and ham and one bolognese and two lasagne altogether that cost me 95 or96 but the pizza was poor I wanted as I said the crust was soo dry but wene wee come to visit I tell what I want and you would listen to me properly soo its ridiculous wee can't fone you direct forget about on line let's go to the days again your company 95 pounds my address was 320 knightswood Road g13 2bt

I grew up eating here. I came back after years, but won’t be back again. The older woman serving us was so incredibly and inexplicably rude you’d think I’d killed her cat. I do have a headscarf on now, don’t if that triggered her or what. Never again.

Lovely food, lovely service and lovely family time!

Very old school italian cafe vibe. Decent comfort food

Great little Italian with lots of options. We had the garlic prawns, minestrone soup, ciabatta sandwich with chicken pesto and a spaghetti Bolognese. All dishes were high quality and tasted freshly cooked. Dishes were fairly priced and portion size was huge. The spaghetti Bolognese could have easily fed two. Service was average with the timing of dishes pretty off - two starters and the sandwich arrived first with the spaghetti arriving about 20 mins later (after asking the servers to check where it is). Apart from that little service blip, we would go back.

Como cliente que regresa, me decepcionó mi experiencia. Es cierto que llegamos a Little Italy durante la última hora de servir comida. Preguntamos si seguían sirviendo la cena, lo que nos dijeron que sí, y al principio nos recibió cálidamente el trabajador que nos sentó. Pero luego nuestro servidor nos apresuró completamente a través del proceso de pedido, sin hacer ningún esfuerzo para acomodarnos, y nos hizo sentir como cargas en el restaurante. Pedimos la pasta Pollo Piccante y nos sentimos completamente sobrecargados. La salsa era sin sabor, y no picante en absoluto, y el pollo era realmente raro - la textura y el sabor indicaban que estaba claramente pre-envasado y arrojado rápidamente en una sartén. Después de leer otros comentarios, parece que otras personas también han notado esto sobre el pollo. Impactante valor por £ 14. Molesto por mi experiencia y particularmente el servicio en un restaurante local que he disfrutado en el pasado

Vino para el almuerzo / cena temprano, sentado enseguida en el asiento más estrecho de la historia. El servicio no era genial, pizza sin duda no base recién hecho. Sobreprecio para lo que es, tantos otros restaurantes italianos en los alrededores mejor asientos y calidad de la comida.

Had a delivery minestrone soup buratta salad and spaghetti carbonara. All delicious and portion size was great. 5/5

As a frequent diner here I can say that the food is very good and usually, I receive good service. I would note though that it is a very small restaurant so is often loud and quite cramped. My latest visit was the first time that I had not booked a table prior. I waited for 30 minutes then got seated which was perfectly fine. Our meal was lovely until it came to sorting the bill. We were planning on using Apple Pay but then one of our phones Apple Pay broke, we were in the middle of trying to fix it when the waitress came and stood at the end of our table with the card machine in hand. We asked if there was a WiFi password to try to get the pay working which was left unanswered. Then a fellow waitress came up and told us we had to hurry up, I followed with “sorry is this table reserved soon” to which she replied “no we have walk-ins waiting”. I would have understood this if we were sitting talking but we were trying to sort payment which she knew we were doing. This is the height of bad manners when it comes to dining. I’m extremely disappointed as I would guess that if I wasn’t in my late teens and looked like an older adult then I would never have received this treatment. My money is the same as adults money and my respect and manners are the same, if not better than most adults. Therefore I should receive the same respect back. Some people just think that teens are just up to no good and that they can treat them however they please.

Gran noche con un servicio eficiente y amable. Buena comida, gran ambiente y a un precio razonable. Diez de nosotros tuvimos una noche excelente

Delicious food and a great attraction - a child preparing pizza in a bambini set.

Best pizza in Glasgow. A little pricey though

A well known place in the West End. Great food, great service.

The home made apple pie was astounding.

Mesa para 4 en el entresuelo. 2 adultos y 2 niños. La pizza era fantástica - bien cocinado y muy muy sabroso. Spaghetti Boloñesa era genial. Los niños realmente lo disfrutaron. Esta es definitivamente nuestra opción para una noche con los niños. Bebidas un poco caras. £ 7. 25 porque un vaso pequeño de vino ok me pone un poco inquieto. Pero en general una buena comida.

Delicious food and drink. Service was top notch! I shared Garlic & Chilli prawns with focaccia, N'duja meatballs with focaccia starters. Both were very tasty and generous portions. I then had the Chef Special pasta with pesto, tomato and salciccio (sausage) which was amazing! We shared warm apple crumble pie with ice-cream which was yummy. Wine was lovely and water provided without having to ask. All in all it was the best food and dining experience we've had in a long time! Staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere lovely and relaxed. Will definitely be back!

Después de haber leído un par de comentarios negativos recientes que dudamos en mantener nuestra reserva, pero muchacho, estamos contentos de haberlo hecho! El servicio era excepcional y nada era una molestia, el personal muy amable. Comida, bueno... ¡Fue excepcional! Entre 4 de nosotros compartimos nuestros entrantes que eran todos deliciosos, el vino era encantador también (y una botella realmente grande! ) Nos dieron agua para la mesa sin siquiera preguntar cuál es raro en estos días. Los platos principales eran tan deliciosos como los entrantes, si no más. Tuve el chef pasta especial con pesto, salciccio y sol - tomate seco que es el mejor plato de pasta que he tenido. Todos los demás también limpiaron sus platos. No tuvimos prisa en absoluto, lo que fue especialmente apreciado por una noche de sábado. Luego compartimos un pastel de manzana caliente casero con helado y también estaba delicioso! Entre 4 de nosotros compartiendo 5 entrantes, 4 de red, 1 desierto, 3 botellas de vino y un Spritz Aperol nuestra factura solo llegó a £ 191 que me pareció bueno. Dejamos una propina generosa y agradecimos al personal por una noche maravillosa. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomiendo! Gracias Little Italy!

I had pizza so bad .service even they not ask for drink

Came here a few days ago with some friends, we all had such a great time. special shout-out to our server Sammy, he was so attentive and funny, never failed to make our table laugh. Recommended all the best dishes and sides, probably one of the best servers I’ve had in all of Glasgow. #stansexysammy

First class calzone with lashings of olive oil. 😘😃

What a wee gem. Just the right amount of bustle, super friendly, attentive and efficient staff. Despite constant stream of customers, no one waited long and no one was rushed to leave either. Simple food fantastically executed- I recommend the burrata caprese a very young Mozzarella style cheese and super fresh tomatoes and herbs with oil. It has the feel of a proper neighborhood institution and I suspect many customers are regulars.

Always good no matter when to sit in and it’s home made Italian pizza and pasta, so tasty

This place has been a staple throughout my life. The food has always been fantastic, highly recommended for a wee coffee or amazing food.

Food was excellent as always and the staff are lovely. My only complaint is with the kids drawing mat/chefs hat. It only comes with the kids pizza and while it’s not a massive deal it seems a bit mean that one kid got one and the other didn’t cause he had the pasta. He was so upset and although we did ask if he could have one he wasn’t allowed which I found a bit weird as every other restaurant I’ve been to pretty much ever has stuff like drawing mats to keep kids entertained, regardless of what they order from the kids menu. We did get a piece of paper for him to doodle on but still not the point. Especially when the bill was nearly £100.

Discovered the chicken pesto, my new goto.

Spicy chicken pizza was one of the best I've tasted. Thin crispy but soft base with generous topping was utterly delicious. Garlic bread slices were slightly overdone for my liking but this was just personal preference. Sitting outside near closing time the staff were very accommodating. No room out side for wheelchair users a very tight squeeze. Not much of a summer vibe or exciting atmosphere. I would have loved to have had more time to enjoy the pudding selection.

Lunch 👌👌fantastic as always Meatball foccacia n a pint of morreti

Used to love this place but was really disappointed in the food when we visited recently. The pasta was tasteless and the chicken was disgusting, definitely frozen cubes. The pizza was dry and the peppers weren’t even cooked, looked like they’d been added after it came out the oven. Such a shame as this used to be a great wee place to eat. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

The chef’s special was honestly the best pasta dish I think I’ve ever tasted. It was absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and prompt but potentially could’ve been just slightly friendlier. It was really busy but we were able to sit outside.

We were served by a girl who seemed really uninterested. The chicken in the pasta tasted like packet meat and the carbonara was pretty bland, definitely not worth 15 pounds. I wouldn't visit here again it was really overpriced for what we got.

Lovely server was fun and helpful, and made my grandson feel grown up. The food was tasty and well presented.

We just entered at the last closing time and still being greeted gracefully Ordered cappuccino and Tiramisu Loverly and tasty

I've been here a few times. The food is always good. Try the 3 plate tapas. This time around, I tried the spicy meat calzone.. it hit the spot. Followed up by a shared double nugget. The owner had gone to the trouble of splitting it for us and serving it on 2 plates. Lovely touch,very much appreciated Service is amazing and very friendly. The places is always buzzing. Full of locals, students, and tourists.

Excellent place to sit and watch the world go buy great food great prices excellent service

Great restaurant with good food

Food was good and tasty but I think it was bit on pricey side. I would rather go to pizza good place that can fill my stomach and still have some leftovers with same price. I ordered arrabiata pasta, tasty but £10 just for small portion. Go once to try it.

Absolutely loved the food, and the people that work there couldn't be more pleasant and helpful. I think it was the manager that gave us complimentary drinks as the food took a bit longer to arrive as the place was really busy. Will definitely be back. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

2nd time in Glasgow and choose this place for the 2nd time. Food amazing

Ask for a specific table and see what happens- we arrived and the upstairs was empty so we selected a table- guy arrived and the first thing he said was “i will have to move you as someone is arriving in 1 hour’ . What was interesting is that a previous time we came in - we dared to select a table after being told where to sit and obviously this irked the guy. Why is it only in glasgow you are told by waiting staff where you are “allowed” to sit. Go on choose a table in here and see what happens…..

First time visit, lovely place. Really liked the retro decor and the pizzas and cappuccinos were fabulous!

Amazing tasting food looking forward to going back

Reasonably priced for West End. Friendly staff. No complaints. I’ll be back

Lunchtime meal for 3 family members. Had to wait 15.mins to he seated but advised of this Whole of Byers Road cafes and eateries were much the same. Lovely food and filling. Good menu options.

We had a takeaway, the portion sizes were quite small.... My Calazone was tiny, but very Delicious. The Carbonara and Bolognese weren't very nice, according to my Husband and Daughter....

Never had a poor meal here, it is solid and delicious. Literally everything about it and the menu is First class. Pizza is the best in Glasgow by a long way

It is my number one Italian place in Glasgow. We do takeaways every week. Excellent pastas and tiramisu. Much better than in the nearby chains

Always great food and experience

Awesome, lovely food, service and highly enjoyable

We had 4 mouths to feed. Each mouth wanted a different menu item. All in all, we devoured 12 different dishes. The plates we wiped clean. No more needs be said.

Nice food, excellent attention, nice atmosphere.

While the restaurant can be busy sometimes, we went for an early lunch this day and managed to get a table almost anywhere. We chose the breakfast tables by the window since it was a bright day. Atmosphere wise, Little Italy often has a typical Glasgow Westend feel, but as it was early, it was quiet, except on the streets. We ordered Stuffed mushrooms, Minestrone soup, Flatbread with rosemary, garlic, olive oil, Caprese , coffess and a Tiramisu. I come here regularly with friends and the food can be a bit hit and miss sometimes. The Stuffed mushrooms were so aromatic and flavoursome, the flatbread were fresh and lovely moist with olive oil. Everything was very good except for Tiramisu, which I thought was really, really thick and heavy.

Had brunch. It was fine. Would liked more of the Italian sausage as it was best thing abiit food. No complaints and good coffee

Loved this wee place, spaghetti bol was delicious.

For me, I love Calzone. It is my go-to place for this. You have the option for choice of fillings. I can't imagine having a bad experience here. This is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they provide if course.

Popped into Little Italy on a whim this evening and so glad we did. Staff and food were fantastic and we'll definitely be back.

Lovely food and restaurant. Coffee was very nice.

Amazing coffee and gluten free carrot cake

I was charged £9.50 for a medium coffee and a cake. Look out for the old cakes wrapped in cling film. Most expensive in Byres Road.

It was delicious I had the chicken and mushroom pasta the service was really great

To be honest it’s nothing to write home about , Garlic Mushroom Starters and Penne with Meatballs as a Main Course plus a Pint of Peroni and a Still Water for my old man . At £48 it was as I expected , distinctly average

Me and my partner recently visited Little Italy on a holiday to Scotland. We were greeted with a warm welcome, treated to a delish meal and indulged in a yummy tiramisu. When I got home to England I realised I had left my new gloves at the restaurant, the staff made sure my gloves were mailed out and returned to me which I am so grateful for. Exceptional customer service and lovely people. Would 100% recommend eating here 🤩

Amazing service and great food! We were greeted with a warm welcome and treated to a yummy meal. The tiramisu was delish. I left my gloves here after the visit and the staff were lovely enough to mail them back to me in England!! Very grateful and blown away by the exceptional service . Would 100% recommend dining here!

Our favourite restaurant in the West End, excellent location on Byres Rd, great food & atmosphere. Many thanks to Remo for arranging our table for after our annual visit to the panto next month. We have lots of happy family memories at Little Italy.

My partner and I walked up and down the road not really sure what we wanted to eat . When we looked at the menus we decided to give it a try . From the moment we walked in the door you were drawn in by the friendly faces and atmosphere . We had a 5/10 min wait for a table and it was well worth the wait . The whole experience made my day out for lunch perfect . The food did not disappoint . All staff were friendly attentive and very professional . Guess where we are going next Saturday for lunch 👍😀thankyou

Food and service excellent, also best pint of lager I've tasted in a while,crisp cold and fresh.Birra on tap.

Nice atmosphere and environment but food was poor and very over priced for the quality. Tasted like frozen cubes of chicken. Hardly any taste of chilli in pollo picantte

overall happy. great vibe, food good. a bit of a mix up with our starters, but the resturant was very busy, so completely understandable. Prices are on the higher end of what I would consider fair for Glasgow West end. All in all, a good, (not great), bowl of pasta, but a really good caprese salad.

Unfortunately since covid it’s gone downhill. Service is poor and the cost have increased so much. I’ve eaten here 3 times over past few months and they’ve totally messed up the order twice and the 3rd time I used a calendar to time the delivery of our food. Really disappointed as it used to be the go to place every week. Too many inexperienced staff.

The pizza was amazing but there was too much oil for the carbonara I ordered, besides this, the overall quality and taste of food is fantastic. 😊

Best meal in Glasgow! The pizza was incredible. Very authentic Italian dough. The pastas were incredible. Chicken carbo and salmon penne are not to be missed.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I come at least once a month. Not only is the food delicious and so flavoursome, the staff who serve it are so polite, caring, helpful and make the time to make you feel welcome. I can recommend little Italy to everyone. Give yourself a treat n pop in even just for coffee and you'll see what I mean. Well done guys. Xx❤️🍷🍽️

Not the best Italian food. Got the carbonara take away the other day and it's very bad. Tastes like they added cream, sauce is broken, and I couldn't taste the egg yolk, doesn't taste like real cabonara to me

I have very fond memories of Little Italy saving my lunchtime during my PhD studies, and the food is just as good as I remember. It'll always be a stop for me when visiting the west end of Glasgow.

Had the penne salsiccia, delicious 😋

Not the cheapest place,high rateable area,take aways&cramped inside.Pizza good&different breads .

Great food and service despite arriving at peak time on a Friday without a reservation. Good value for money too.

Super tasty pizzas and friendly folk 😊

Few vegetarian and vegan options available.

Went for breakfast had coffee and a roll and bacon both delicious the service was great very friendly😀

Nice atmosphere. Food is good. Attentive and friendly waiters.
