Nostrana in Glasgow City

Great lunch and good 👍

This place is lovely, we’ve visited a couple of times now (whenever we end up working in the area this is certainly our go to!) Food is lovely!! Atmosphere is great and service is lovely! Thank you

Hadn't been before so nice to try somewhere new to us in The West End. Restaurant was quiet. Only us and one other table who had had their food so disappointed we waited half an hour for our pizza while multiple carry outs went out the door. When the food came it was delicious. As a side note, bathrooms could do with a good clean. Pretty grim. Floor was boggin as they say in Glasgow.

Fantastic pizza and pasta, best to book a table as small inside

Great service, great coffee and pastries. Going back to try the food very soon. Outside seating area perfect now we've got the hint of a summer. Love it.

Never went in because they don't have any vegan options, except some disappointing-sounding penne with spicy sauce (easy to make at home). Would really appreciate a good vegan pizza on the menu, like Franco Manco or Paesano pizza.

Wow, what a great wee neighbourhood Italian. Also, fabulous value! Munched the pizza slice and salad - so good

When you ask for a glass of Prosecco, you expect to get a full glass! Was surprised to receive half a glass. Restaurant should think about serving in a smaller glass, to avoid disappointment!!

Fantastic little restaurant with friendly staff. Food was amazing with a great choice. Desserts to die for! Will definitely be back!

Went here yesterday early afternoon and ordered muffins with black pudding and fried egg. Was very surprised when food arrived in shape of a "Glasgow roll" with black pudding and a fried egg. When I questioned this the unfortunate member of staff could not give a sensible reason why no muffins .... none left or perhaps a new menu was all that was offered. Had I known in advance I may have had something else. When I raised this issue when paying bill and asked why if the menu has changed and was not the one we ordered food from, why was I not told? .... all I got was a sorry, a shrug of his shoulders and then he turned away back to kitchen. Poor service My wife ordered pancakes, bacon and maple syrup which she has had several times in the past and was surprised at the quality of what arrive, not what she had received previously which was 3 lovely well presented thick, light pancakes with bacon between each pancake and also on top ..... yesterdays serving was 2 flat , mis-shapen pancakes thrown on the plate with 3 rashers of bacon on top .....very disappointing. The 3rd member of our party ordered brown toast with salmon and scrambled egg which she had also enjoyed here on previous visits. Sadly she was also disappointed in her choice as the serving was half the size of what she previously had recieved so yesterday she had 1 small slice of toast with salmon and scrambled egg instead of the 2 slices she had previously received. While the pancakes and toast portions described above were half the size of those previously received they were definitely not half the price and also disappointing in both quality and presentation. All in all a very disappointing visit due to the above issues and also the complete lack of interest from the staff in providing good customer service.

Excellent service, excellent food. Very happy to have such a high quality eatery in a residential area. Will come back soon

Loved this place. Great atmosphere with very attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant was really busy but we were seated fairly quickly. Nothing was too much trouble. There were 6 of us and all of the main courses were served at the same time. Drinks came promptly and although busy we didn't feel rushed. Will definitely be back.

Nostrana pizza was delicious and good value

Delicious lunch on Friday. My bee sting pizza was cooked perfectly, with the right balance of spice and sweetness. My wife’s gluten free pasta al salmonella was exquisite. The lemon sharpness cut through the ricotta beautifully. No space for desert but the coffees were lovely. The waiting staff did a great job, efficient but not overbearing.

Lovely place lovely food and great serving staff. The venue does not have an option to give a tip when paying by card unfortunately so make sure to bring some cash for this as the serving staff are great!

With an outdoor sitting area, this is a great find in Hyndland. Nice pizzas & pasta dishes, you can also order a rectangular pizza to share for a table, a great idea. Lovely & helpful waitress.

Best spaghetti gamba I have had and I have had a few.

Friendly attentive staff. We found the food very good authentic Italian. Probably some of the best I’ve tasted outside Italy recently.

Lovely authentic Italian, food cooked fresh upon order.

Love this place although they've stopped the chilli oil which I used to love

Very friendly Bistro with excellent food

New place in the West End and it really is great.bWe were there with about 12 folk and this was no problem for them. Fantastic food and great service.

Delighted to eat here again whilst visiting an old friend. Food was outstanding & I managed three courses, which is pretty much unheard of, although my friend helped me with my first dish, which meant I had room for the must-have tiramisu! Picked up one of the postcards showing a lovely illustration of the premises - had hoped to have Marco sign it, but he was far too busy & I didn't like to interrupt him! The pesto which accompanied my first dish is the best I have ever had - had to make a point of not licking the dish it came in!

Beautiful place and good quality pizza! V sweet staff. However— I recommend abandoning the tip jar qr code thing and just allowing people to add money onto their bill. I had to scan a qr code and then my phone wouldn’t connect etc so had to wait to tip until I got home, in which space of time a lot of people would have forgotten. What you’re doing here is introducing another barrier and relying too much on the customer. I’ve worked hospitality here in Glasgow and I know that people can be stingey! Please please abandon this so that your lovely service can staff get tipped fairly!

We had a lovely lunch with food and drinks. Shared a salad and pizza. All delicious and decently priced. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will return soon

Simple, efficient and kind service.

Pros: personnel are Lovely, polite and professional. Coffees are great. Cons: the loud music! Why oh why is there loud music even on the outside terrace?

Best carry out pizza this century!

Make sure you keep your word's when you promise things, avoid applying for job here.

Just had a takeaway coffee. Not as tasty as other West End places. That said, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the menu looks good. Will try again.

Special Italian eatery. Classic dishes that taste divine offered in a bright modern way by friendly capable staff. A little treasure to share with family and friends 👍

Great pizzas. Good variety of toppings. Excellent staff. Enjoyed our evening. We'll be back!

What a lovely place to eat good food, great staff.

Superb pizza, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Extremely good pizza! We had a sharing pizza and we were extremely surprised how much we got. Could have fed 4 but 2 hungry people had to make do. Highly recommend the orange wine, and the focaccia.

This restaurant is owned/'cheffed' by an old friend of the friend I was visiting. We popped in at lunchtime to book a table for the evening & I could have sat down there & then for coffee & cannoli & simply whiled away the time until dinner in the evening! Lovely atmosphere, superb staff & the food is out of this world. I had a 'blackboard special' - excellent bread, burrata, rocket, the most delicious pesto I have ever eaten & a new thing to me, which the charming Marco explained were 'red pepper drops' - I thought they were tiny tomatoes as they were so sweet & exploded in my mouth with amazing flavour. Of course I had the tiramisu for dessert, as is my wont - gorgeous! Thank you so much to Marco & his team - we had such an enjoyable time - & I can't wait to come back to eat here again on my next visit.

After hearing about this place changing from pizza magic (same owner ) to Nostrana my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try to see if it was just as good.pleased to say it has not lost its magic. The decor in the place is very nice with a beautiful Mackintosh inspired interior. The staff were very friendly . The food was very tasty. We shared the goats cheese on sourdough and balsamic glaze which was very tasty. The flavour combinations were nice although the bread was a little too overdone for my liking. The main course was a shared rustica meat feast pizza and it was huge . The pizza was well cooked and the flavours were delicious. We shared the nonna tart which was a lemon tart with cream . The tart was very well baked and the lemon flavour was great. . Overall we had a great experience and the pizza was just as good as I remember as a child coming here so I definitely recommend it.

First time back here since pizza magic days. Very nice place and great pizza just like its always been.

Great tasting sharing pizza with rocket and Parmesan salad. Excellent pizza base and generous toppings of artichokes, aubergine and black olives. Relaxing, stylish and chilled atmosphere, and nice, attentive staff. Been here several times before. The food speaks for itself. Excellent wine choices and cocktails too. Quality.

Nice restra in hyndland , Great chefs Great service Must visit place in Glasgow Highly recommend this restra to everyone. Italian food is excellent in this restaurant .will visit soon

Lovely restaurant. Nice food. Lovely staff.

Visit regularly, nice food, good service, reasonable prices, very much Italian flavors. On my lunch visits - serviced well and fast.

I visited lately 5-6 times , freshly coocked, tasty, perfect place for a business lunch, pasta, pizza, sups - all dishes I tried were really nice.

We had leisure to eat delicious food, both pasta and pizza and the chef jazzed up the birthday cake we had brought it and made it look really stunning. The birthday girl was really touched. The service was attentive, friendly and efficient. Looking forward to going again soon.

Lovely place and good food. Staff very attentive.

We popped in to escape from the rain and I am very glad we did. Excellent coffee, lovely croissants and friendly service. The food menu looks great so we will definitely return.

Best pizza in the west end, possibly the best pizza outside of Italy, but as I have never been to Italy, who knows...

Great place to have an Italian meal at the weekend. Compliment to the 👨‍🍳 nice location in the heart of the Westend of Glasgow. Would recommend 👌

Friendly staff and great food esp. pizza albeit the 2 pasta dishes chosen also went well. Visited with extended family and all enjoyed the visit.

Celebrating my daughter’s 21st, staff were amazing. Decorated my homemade cake with raspberries in “21” formation. Very thoughtful and kind. Food was excellent. There were 7 of us and only 2 had eaten here before. All 5 were hugely impressed and will be returning. Drinks were great, the Primitivo was delicious. Great service and all in all a wonderful evening. Thank you 🥰

Fabulous night celebrating daughters 21st. Staff were fantastic. Highly recommend

Fantastic food and service! The appetizers were incredible, and the pizza (especially with the njuda) was addicting. Highly recommend

Have dined here a few times and spent an average of £60-£70 each time , .Time we went before last ,we ordered our usual,bee sting pizza,salad and a side of macaroni.The cost of the macaroni has always been £5.50 in a LARGE dish.We had our friend with us last time and so we ordered 2 sides of what we thought would be the same size of dish and same price of macaroni as no one thought to say that they had not only changed the size of dishes to dishes that had literally 2 tablespoons of macaroni in them but also the price from £5.50 to £6.00!!!.(For 2 tablespoons of macaroni ) is it me or do you agree this is rediculous and ripping the p….sh.When we got our bill I questioned these and asked to speak to marco .He didn’t come out from behind his bag of flour ,but relayed a message via a wee lassie instead of coming out to speak to me.He told her to take £6 off the bill ,which to me is an admission he was in the wrong and should have informed us that not only the prices had changed but the dishes had changed to dishes that could only take 2 tablespoons of macaroni .That said the food as always was spot on.PS:We also were charged £1 for a chilli when we were in last month .Now I know things have got expensive but come on ,a pound for a chilli!!!, after we have spent a right few quid in his place on a coupe of occasions.

Lovely place, food was fresh and had a great atmosphere

Ordered 3 pizzas to-go, received 3 cold pizzas 35 minutes later, boxes had been left behind the counter and forgotten. Had I not asked they would probably be there still. Will avoid take away service from now on.

It was the best pizza I've had in Glasgow so far. Their Nostrana Pizza is so big and also so delicious. It is very good for sharing. We can't wait to go there again.

Food is consistently good here. Staff are helpful. Can get busy but under control. Nice outdoor seating for good weather. Had a good wild mushroom risotto and a decent glass of wine.

Fabulous brunch for two. We had Goat's cheese bruschetta and a pizza slice which was delicious. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended 👌

Great food with a wonderful atmosphere and great value 👍

🎵🎶🎼. “It’s all about the base…” as Meghan Trainor once sang 😂 Nostrana has the best pizza base in Glasgow. That’s why we keep coming back. Superb sharing pizzas, generously loaded with top quality ingredients. The Siciliana sharing pizza is more than enough for two, loaded with artichokes and veggies. And we had a rocket side salad which was fresh and a generous covering of quality Parmesan shavings. Quality Italian food, great value, in a beautifully chilled, modern, airy ambience. Sitting outside as the sun goes down on a warm, summer’s evening, while sipping a chilled beer or cocktail is another highlight of Nostrana. Love it!

Good charming Italian restaurant. Dishes are perfect and service is great

Have visited this restaurant a few times now and enjoyed the food. Service is always efficient and friendly. Each visit we have paid by card and have asked to add a tip on each time. We have always been told the owner continues not to provide a facility for doing this. Not everyone carries cash these days so come on Marco be fair to your staff!!

Really good pizza with great selection. They also do a good gluten free pizza which is rare. More on the pricy side but worth it if you get the larger rustica pizza. The cannolis were really good and well priced.

The food was excellent, I'll definitely be back soon!

Really great local pizza place :) I have to admit, the first time I went shortly after opening I was a little disappointed with the flavour of the pizza, but luckily I ended up going again (and again) and the pizza's have been delicious ever since. And so reasonably priced! The tiramisu is also to die for!

Perfect. Tried to book a table but fully booked (not surprised as food is excellent). Had a takeaway instead (fortunately we live close by), not disappointed, second time in a week we’ve had a takeaway (not like us). Cannot fault anything - Bee Sting wonderful, Mixed Salad to die for, Mac n Cheese, my husbands favourite. Don’t go anywhere else, it’s perfect.

Really good food, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely outdoor seating area, the staff were very friendly. We had bolognese. I prefer it a little richer in flavour but it was nice. Stay locally so will return. I spotted someone with the fish which looked delicious so will be back to try!

Very good place! I will definitely be coming back!

First visit of this busy little restaurant. Great smells from the kitchen. Staff super friendly. Pasta dishes were great. Good prices for food and drink.

Always a great option for when the sun is out. Enjoy sitting here for a couple of drinks and ordering up a pizza which usually hits the spot 👌

Fish an chip's were great 👍,but my friend didn't like her pizza topping,thought there our of tin,so for me great

In on a Sunday evening, an oven issue but well dealt with by the staff and well communicated. Great pizza and great service throughout.

We have been several times to Nostrana now, and each time we have been we have found it to be a very agreeable place to go. The food is very tasty and not overpriced, and the atmosphere is relaxed but still professional. My husband uses a wheelchair and we have found that the tables are high enough to accommodate his chair, and they also have a disabled toilet on the premises (he hasn’t used it, but it’s good to know it’s there). We’ll definitely be back as it works very well for us! Great pizza/pasta/gnocchi - we’re working our way through their menu! They even split our pizza and pasta onto separate plates for us to make it easier for us to half-n-half. Big thumbs up - keep doing what you’re doing please!

God bring back pizza magic. Crap in here. Slow service, over priced for substandard pizzas. No desire to return ever. Coffee is very p1shy

Beautiful food and exceptional service (from everyone but especially Sara). Will definitely be back.

After receiving our drinks we were told that pasta dishes were unavailable. So decided to order scampi and haddock and chips, to be told that was unavailable as well. Only pizza was available. Young staff were excellent but having asked to speak to the manager...

Lovely outside area . Food was very reasonably priced and very tasty.

Have not dined in but the takeaway pizza we got was great. Looking forward to coming back for a sit in meal.

Really slow, but really good 👍

Would highly recommend Nostrana The food and service are always perfect

Great quality food at a reasonable price. Lovely selection of drinks and something on the menu for everyone. Nice relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Friendly, local restaurant. Delicious food with an excellent variety of options for every taste.

Got charged £8.50 for a mocktail! It wasn’t on the menu so I’ve asked for one and they made me a strawberry daiquiri. The alcoholic one was £9.50. I even queried with the staff and they confirmed the price! Unreasonable price for a mocktail! The most expensive I’ve ever paid! Pizzas smelled amazing, but the taste was okay, nothing special. Pizza was £13. The service was slow but it was a busy night.

I Loved my visit to Nostrana, food was delicious and staff were very friendly. I’ll definitely be back.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. One of the best pizzas I've tasted, perfect base and good sized portion. Good menu selection also. One of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten, both cooked to perfection, with the chips crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle and the fish batter nice and crispy. Also nice eclectic selection of music which adds to the atmosphere. Dog friendly (tables outside) 🐕 Also, caters for takeaways... pick up at counter.

Absolutely amazing pizza and excellent service. It will certainly become our local.

The carbonara is to die for. We also tried one of their pizza slices and it was alright, though the base was thicker than I would've liked. Service was good and the prices were alright. The only thing I would've changed is not have the...

The carbonara is to die for. We also tried one of their pizza slices and it was alright, though the base was thicker than I would've liked. Service was good and the prices were alright. The only thing I would've changed is not have the kitchen directly connected to the rest of the restaurant as the whole place smelled like a kitchen and so did we when we left so -1 star. Overall a good experience and would recommend dining here if you're after good Italian food.

At approximately 11:20am this morning, a group of mums, including myself, and our babies met up in Hyndland with the intention of having our morning roll and coffee in Nostrana, as we do each week. We always pop our head before entering to considerately advise them of a few prams. The owner had been there on only one occasion previously and had not been the most welcoming, but we hadn't seen him since and have never had a problem being accommodated for. We never ask for high chairs or have special requests; our babies are young and therefor happily sit on our knee. Unfortunately, today we were not allowed to enter. The reason being we would "block the disabled toilet." This remark wasn't even addressed to us by the owner but to a waiter, so we didn't even receive the courtesy of being told directly. I'd like to point out this has never been an issue before and if a situation arose where someone needed to access the disabled toilet it would not be a problem to move a pram. Indeed, it would also not be a problem to seat us elsewhere in the restaurant too, especially as it was extremely quiet at the time. The manner in which we were so quickly disregarded was unprofessional and severely disappointing. You cannot advertise your business as a "home from home" and "family friendly" if you do not accept families. I struggle to understand what kind of clientele the owner is hoping to attract at 11:20am on a Tuesday morning when the place is practically empty. I cannot help but feel we were discriminated against because we had children and we left feeling humiliated. Living nearby, we have always supported local businesses but unfortunately we will not be back and would strongly advise anyone with a child to visit alternative venues in the area. We walked along the road and were warmly greeted at an alternative bistro where we shall be going from now on.

It’s one of the best restaurants in west end amazing food great service and staff r brilliant, love this plc

The place has a lovely atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. I had a Rosé wine which was lovely. I was a bit disappointed in the food. I had ordered the carbonara and garlic bread. The carbonara has a good taste but was very greasy,...

The pizza dough was really good but the topping probably the best but I am sure my British friends will like them. Personal I prefer pizzas that are simpler pizzas

4 adults and 2 children for dinner. Couldn’t have been made more welcome. Food was excellent, childrens portions were great. Staff lovely. Highly recommend

Visited last night, party of 6 for 40th birthday treat. Food was good but could off been nice if offered parmesan cheese with the pasta dishes. Pizzas were huge and delicious. Staff friendly and nice atmosphere in restaurant and would visit again

Lovely lunch. Friendly staff and good food

Fabulous lunch. Stayed locally from 1991-97 and was a regular at Pizza Magic. Love what Marco has done. Will be back soon.

Very poor, food was disappointing. We spent quite a lot of money for what was doughy tasteless pizza, I didn’t think you could get pizza wrong until I ate here. Weird atmosphere too - head person looked to be stressing staff- shame.

Fantastic Italian. Friendly helpful staff. Outstanding meal. Good value. Definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, very nice restaurant, good food , nice atmosphere, staff can't do enough for you very welcoming. The pizza base was a bit soaked mainly due to olive oil in the vegetable topping, passed it on to the chef so that they could perhaps improve, that did not affect taste pizzas are really good.
