Food and wine were excellent. We had a great meal.

A meal with some family members who were visiting the city. A restaurant that one of them had found and that I had never heard of. Great service from the warm welcome right through to the fond farewell. It was a bit warm upstairs, but that didn't spoil the atmosphere or the meal. Excellent food and a place that I would recommend to others.

to start, we were sat in a curtained corner when there was only one other table in. service was extremely slow (not waiting on food but waiting on order to be taken/bill). pizza wasn’t very nice but pasta was okay. we booked through the LINKED website and it also said we could get 20% off if we booked ahead. we mentioned this to our waiter and he said that was absolutely fine and gave us a set menu and a normal one, we opted for the set as we were given that. When it came to paying the bill i mentioned that we had 20% off which should bring the bill to £30.32, instead of £37.90. The server let us know that he has to make an alteration due to a mistake made by the previous server. The bill ended up coming to over £40, when i brought this up to the server he said he can’t change it and that its our fault for booking through a third party despite me telling him that the website we booked through was the one their page took us to. very disappointed and will not be back. EDIT/UPDATE Owner is extremely rude, leaving cheeky responses to not only my review but everyone elses who wasn’t happy with their experience. owner needs to understand that this level of disrespect towards customers (and doing them out of money) will put them out of business very soon. This seems like something out of kitchen nightmares

Amazing italian restaurant at the city centre. Osteria Italiana. We tried the mushroom risotto, carbonara and garlic king prawns. All 10/10. Ambiance cozy and staff all friendly. You could ask for parmesan too and they will give you a generous portion. The Fork app offers 50% discount too at certain time of day. Update: came back and tried their meatball pasta and pizza polpette - really good! Quite disappointed with the serving size of the calamari tho

We had a table booked for a group of 7 so bearing this in mind when writing the review. The service on reception was OK, we were greeted and taken to our table as you would expect. It started to fall down hill pretty much from the drinks orders though. Very simple things that the servers just kept getting wrong. Niggly things: they didn't provide one of our table with a glass for their bottle of sparkling water, never asked if any allergies, and never made an effort to check in on us. The next more important bit... They forgot 2 of the main meals that were ordered were missed - it happens, waiter disappeared after being advised and we never saw them again. 15/20 mins later we managed to grab another waiter to ask where the 2 other mains were as the rest of the table had finished. We were basically told we were forgotten about without an apology. No one checked on us for the entire meal otherwise they would have known to chase it up. To top it off, once the 2 mains finally made it after everyone else had finished, we never saw any of the staff again until they started clearing up around us. No offer of dessert or more drinks. In fact, we had to make our way downstairs to try and get someone's attention to get the bill. Honestly felt like walking out without paying it was that poor. Food quality was not brilliant for an Italian. I tried one of the pasta dishes (carbonara) and was very nice. My pizza was well below average so wouldn't suggest the pizza's if going here. Arancini balls tasted like they'd been kept in the freezer for a year before being heated up too. Focaccia bread was a garlic pizza -m so not focaccia... Overall went away really disappointed in this place.

I ate here today and unfortunately I have to say that I wasn't particularly impressed. The restaurant makes a very friendly impression. I specifically chose this place because they have the pizza calzone on the menu. Now where do I start, you can just choose one of their standard pizzas that they will close for you for an additional charge with no added value. I wanted a few extra ingredients that unfortunately were denied to me (an extra charge for extras is completely fine). When I asked if I could have an egg in my pizza I was told that he didn't know if they had an egg, I was wondering how they were going to make the carbonara without eggs. The taste of the food was good but unfortunately not what I expected from an Italian restaurant.

Staff were very polite but not very attentive had to go downstairs and order a drink five minutes after we were seated up against a wall at a table the size of a large book ,soup was cold sent back minestrone had no pasta or tomato it was a carrot and courgette with a stock ,the main meal was nice but by this time we were too annoyed to complement it . don't buy a Groupon voucher . bought a couple of drinks we didn't think they deserved a tip but they kept the change anyway

We made a reservation through “the fork” app at the first available time, 9:15 p.m. At 8:40 p.m. they call me to tell me that the restaurant closes at 9 p.m. It seems disrespectful to me that they do that if they advertise from an application. I wouldn't think of booking a place like this again.

Worst Italian in Glasgow. If you complain they'll shout and argue. Zero customer service here. Will not be back and couldn't even be paid to return. Food is not authentic. You get more of an authentic Italian experience from a microwave lasagna.

Waitress was new so we could appreciate that she didnt understand any of the menu and fully how to take orders. My partner had ordered a steak and she walked away before asking how he wanted it cooked, which sauce and side for it to come with. However even the kitchen didnt send her back when she wouldnt have said how he wanted the steak done, so we had to go to the front desk to actually complete the order. It also took over 20 minutes for one glass of wine and a corona to come to our table. Our food arrived quicker than the drinks as this only took 15 minutes. Food itself was relatively average. My partner’s steak - supposed to be medium rare - was actually cooked to well done and not of good quality at all but the peppercorn sauce and chips were good. My risotto was alright, quite thick and stodgy with hardly any sauce but tasted okay. After we finished our meal and drinks, not once did the waitress come back to our table to ask if we wanted another drink or to look at the dessert menu or get the bill (the restaurant was half empty, not busy at all) and we sat for about half an hour after finishing. We eventually just had to go to the desk and pay because we didnt want to sit and wait any longer if we were to get an additional drink. I think overall there are so many other amazing Italian restaurants you could visit before trying out this place to receive average food and slow service.

We visited after getting the £5 main deal on itison. I am so glad we did. We added 2 starters I got the meatballs and my partner got the arancini and it was great. The mains were unreal and portion sizes were great. We finished off with 2 espressos. The service was great staff very welcoming and friendly will 100% be back.

I used to love this restaurant but not after visiting in 8/12/24. The website advertises 2x courses for £18.95 and we were given that menu. Then we were told that deal is not available in December and given the Al la Carte after we had ordered. This should be reflected on the website. A table of 4 came in and were giving the set menu. When queried we were told they had booked in advance. Also the food was low quality and mediocre - the toast with the pate and Bruchetta was not toasted. Really disappointed on the service and the attitude of the Manager when we queried the cost, very rude man. He also automatically added the service charge without asking.

We (my partner & I) had visited Osteria some time before this most recent experience. It wasn't great at the time but we thought we'd give it another go seeing as it was so long ago and they've had some decent reviews since. What a silly thing to do?! We called ahead to enquire about tables as the town was pretty busy with Christmas shoppers; we were told "no problem", :see you soon" etc. God only knows who answered the call as when we got there, they seemed affronted at the suggestion we had called, denied knowledge but (with a stinking attitude) after a long wait, they could just about squeeze us in. From here on in, it is a bit on us seeing as we should've left but it was cold, we were hungry?! Also we hadn't realised how long we had been waiting & by this time we didn't have time to look for somewhere else. We did end up leaving hungry anyway as the food was foul. The starter of soup was no better than a cuppa-soup and, to add insult, was tepid. When we complained, the waiter looked harassed to the point we felt sorry for him & ended up telling him not to worry. You'd think though, that especially after that, they'd make some effort to get a hot main out on time. No. Instead they seemed to think they could get away with leaving us till last perhaps thinking we didn't mind?! I never thought a lasagne could ever be bland but mine was & my partner's fish was more rubbery than a JCB tyre. Again, complaints were met with a shrug from the waiter & with noticeably less apology in their expression. The manager obviously caught wind of our dissatisfaction and, without us asking to speak with him, came over to wave his hands and shout what can only be described as abuse at us! How dare we complain when they were good enough to give us a table?! We obviously haven't got a clue what we're talking about regarding Italian food?! I lived in Porta Venezia a few years ago and I can confidently say that what they served us what about as authentically Italian (and not even as good) as a Domino's pizza. Do not go here expecting anything close to an Italian meal, or even hot food?! Dire. To top it off, they added a service charge which they point-blank refused to remove despite our complaints with the service as well as the food?! Even though we'd left most of the food, we were prepared to pay for that, but not the extremely poor service! However, this seemed to send the manager into a blind rage & he then accused us of trying to steal? And saying something along the lines of "gay guys never want to pay for anything"?! Absolutely abominable. Do not go here.

Sea bass was severely overcooked,person I was with asked for vinegar, waiter replied we don't have vinegar funny that as my plate came from kitchen with lot of vinegar on it. Restaurant was quiet and we waited over 25 minutes for main. When voiced concerns no apology. Asked for bill and without consultation service charge had been added. Not impressed

1pm lunchtime and a total of 6 people in a restaurant. Food mediocre. Salmon so badly burnt, it had been smothered in inedible mustard sauce. It was sent back. Lasagne is tasteless with the texture of a sponge. Raspberry cheesecake was a pink lump sitting on a large solid biscuit base. Base was so hard it was impossible to cut through and nothing, not even the frozen Raspberry on top, tasted of Raspberry.

Arrived with no booking and no expectations, by then end of our meal we were almost telling people on the way in to not even bother. Ordered starters and mains, drinks arrived and then we sat and waited and waited and waited for about 35 minutes for our starters to arrive. We ordered focaccia and garlic bread and what arrived was a plain pizza and bread with cheese on it… 35 minutes for bread and cheese and a flatbread you could not call focaccia. Then the mains came and which we had just ordered a pizza each, both of which were incredibly underwhelming. Waiting for the bill or even a passing glance took another god knows how long. Just wait till I get started on the manager on duty, definitely not how you run a restaurant. He was getting annoyed at customers for being unhappy with service, mocking them and yelling at staff very openly (all of which looked very overworked). Regret dinner here at Osteria completely, will not be returning and don’t recommend it to anyone. Edit : The owner has just responded to my review doing exactly what I just said, getting angry at customers for being unhappy… very professional. Ciao.

Im afraid to say the food was not great. My main meal, a chicken dish with penne pasta was terrible. It looked as if I had half a pack of pasta dumped on the plate and the chicken was dry and inedible. My husbands meal wasnt much better. The rice wasnt that hot and it was stodgy, the chicken was warm with parma ham dumped on top. The waiter was more interested in popping out for a ciggie and on his phone.

GO YOUR WAY!!! We went to eat at this Italian restaurant last night and we were very disappointed with the service and the cuisine: First, we ordered drinks and pizzas, we waited 10 minutes and the waiter came back to tell us that there were no more pizzas… We therefore understood that the cook did not want to turn on his oven for 2 pizzas. You might as well tell us directly. Anyway, we ordered pasta and a chicken burger! And be careful, 20 minutes later, the waiter brought us a beef burger as well as pasta with 4 poor meatballs in it! Not wanting to wait another 15 minutes to get the chicken burger, we said nothing. To conclude, we waited a long time, the dishes were not good and the ingredients were of poor quality (worst burger of my life). Go on your way. CIAO 👋🏽

I ordered Insalata Caprino ie. "Crostino with goat cheese resting on mixed leaves a warm vegetable salad". Paid 12.95£ for this plate. Just one sort of green leaves and no warm vegetable salad. Bread was good, but I really wanted those vegetables too. That left me feeling really ripped off. The restaurant is really gorgeous and has great atmosphere, but there was a painfully noisy group at the same time

Best restaurant in Glasgow hands down! The welcome received from the Italian staff was homely, professional and with a humorous tone typical of our culture. The exceptional food, taking into account that in Glasgow there are many places that take the name of the restaurant and typical Italian dishes because we have a high level in the culinary field and this attracts tourists, but then the quality of the food immediately turns people's noses up. Here, however, the quality/price is perfectly balanced for the manufacturing of the dishes, quantity and taste. The staff is, in addition to the things previously said, very helpful. Keep it up guys 🫡

The food was pretty good and service was prompt and polite. The vibe was Italian for sure. The atmosphere was very nice and the place is well decorated but not presumptuous. The staff were attentive and very helpful. They would have got a 5 star but except the food is a solid 4, they would need to enhance the flavours and potentially go deeper into the Italian heritage, this is more a family restaurant than fine Italian dining experience. Enjoyable none the less and do not let that detract from your desire to try this place out.

Had lunch here today, minestrone soup was bland, no taste had to ask for salt. Had chicken Milanese, I told the waiter it was a very small piece of chicken , it looked like a frozen piece of breaded chicken . He said they gave me more pasta! There was very little pasta. £18 for 2 very small dishes, don't waste your time or money. They also put a 10% tip onto the bill. Will definitely not be back.

Absolute joke of a restaurant. Rude waiter, waited half an hour to order half an hour for anything to come food came before our drinks a further 10 instead after . Not enough cutlery on the table for our party we had to share as noone brought any got our order wrong. Never opened the bottle of wine. Never recieved the drinks that were included in there mothers day offer but were still charged for it . Frozen veg like the stuff you get from Iceland or farm foods. Complained to a girl who said its her first day but noone else came to see us . Garlicky macaroni cheese. The fish was nice. No offer of dessert menu. Complained direct got the response they will investigate it no offer of any compensation at all after ruining our mums mother's day treat. I said I was giving them an option to rectify before I post a review got told to put review on if I wanted so here we are . Terrible service, mediocre and overpriced food, not honouring there offers as advertised, tables left sat unclean. Honestly one of our worst restaurant experiences by far.

Quite frankly the worst meal I’ve eaten in a long time. Meatballs starter was chewy and could barely get a knife through them , sea bass ? Well should have taken a magnifying glass with me to see it on the plate , tiniest bit of fish served with a load of rice which is actually all I really ate as the fish had barely anything on it to eat, I was so angry that this is what was served up and bit my tongue on the way out as did not want to cause a scene. The only thing good about here was the lovely lady waitress who served us , but definitely not coming back here again .

Went there on the 28th December. They were very busy. We didn’t have make a reservation, we were visiting the city and looking for somewhere to have lunch. We were given a table-stand right next to the entrance. Everything was fine at the beginning. We ordered the drinks the food, was nice by the way. When we finished, my husband asked for the bill. We were waiting for quite a long time. My son wanted to go, besides it’s hard to keep a 5 year old child in one place. I went to the bar, as no one was looking at us, to ask for the bill again. Nobody was there so I had to wait for a while. After a while, two people came carrying a barrel of beer. One was our waiter, so I asked him for the bill again. His reply was “you have to wait, we are busy at the moment can’t you see” ? 😳😳. We could have just gone, I didn’t have any problem with that. Right after, another gentleman brought us the bill. I think he was Italian from the accent. Very polite. He went to bring the card machine and in the meantime, the other guy, brought the bill again 🙄🙄. We paid and we left straight away.

I really wanted to like this place. The staff are friendly but really busy so mistakes were made. The Bolognese is the worst I've ever tasted. Not sure why they think it's acceptable. The cheesecake is woeful. It reminded me of something your grannie would throw together when she forgot she invited the family for dinner. The drinks are overpriced and the cocktails are average at best. After forgetting the dessert I had ordered then bringing the wrong one, I gave up trying to get the right order and just paid and left. A truly disappointing experience overall. Maybe go when it's not busy and you might get a better service. And order the mussels or Pizza because they're the only thing I think they can do right.

A hidden gem in the centre of Glasgow. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff and amazing food. It's well worth a visit.

Osteria is located at 17 John Street, Glasgow (within Merchant City). It's a 10 to 15 minute walk from Glasgow Central. The food we ordered was lovely. We had the chicken burger with fries and spaghetti carbonara (the carbonara was quite creamy), with bruschetta classica. For dessert, cheesecake of the day (it was lemon, very soft and airy). We also had a banana split. Big thumbs up! There were two nice members of staff alternatively waiting on people. The restaurant layout itself is very welcoming. The main part is probably the best area for people who may have any mobility problems. To the left and right of the bar, going up a few steps, you'll find seating. There is a very spacious disabled toilet located to the right of the bar area. It was spotless. Accessibility to the upstairs part of the restaurant and the ladies and gents toilets is via a spiral staircase. Again, the toilet facilities were gleaming. I think this restaurant may be dog friendly as well. Continuing on a canine theme, the S.O.T.B cocktails were the puppy's bow wows!!!! I would go to this restaurant again.

Really charasmatic, helpful and efficient server, Pratham. Lovely base and fresh ingredients at great prices. If you like your pizza with parmasan great, if you prefer it without them do ask. Kitchen team seem very good. Hoping they will be able to make their own garlic, basil and chilli oil. Chilli oil from shop not great. If they make their own oil, this could really be a fabulous fabulous place.

We had a quick and delicious meal here last night. The service was friendly and the food was really decent Italian. The advert laden outside hides a more traditional interior.

We had the most amazing food here tonight and the staff were amazing and made us feel welcome. The atmosphere of the place was amazing too. The best place we have eaten on our first trip away to Glasgow so we will definitely be returning.

Unfortunately, a very bad experience. I ordered a sausage and mushroom risotto in the expectation of receiving a good and creamy risotto, but what I received was a dish of undercooked rice, because the grain was really hard (rice did not seem to me to be appropriate for risotto). Very dry dish, the taste wasn’t bad, but the whole set wasn’t good. The appetizer of fried mushrooms was good. I heard the employees talk about another table that had also complained about the risotto being very dry and the employees commenting on things like “what he/she expected”, “the rice is just boiled”. Very beautiful and cozy place, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Family meal (7 people which included 3 children). We all enjoyed the main meals (varied from lasagne, spaghetti, risotto to pizza) and portion sizes were very good. Based on that we decided to order desserts as well but unfortunately they were all extremely disappointing. Tiramisu was overly sweet, not enough coffee and tasted a lot like whipped cream (one of the worst we had in Italian restaurants). Ice creams sundaes also very sweet and not great quality. Overall we would recommend the restaurant and visit again for a meal but not for dessert.

🍕🍝 Stepped into this Italian joint Osteria in Glasgow, that had me feelin' like I just stumbled into a scene from The Godfather! 💼 The atmosphere was as authentic as a Sicilian grandma's secret recipes, and the joint was bigger than Don Corleone's empire! 💼🏛️ They've got more pizza and pasta variations than mob bosses have aliases – capisce? 🍕🍝 And let me tell ya, the music was thumpin' like a beat-up Cadillac cruisin' down Mulberry Street! 🚗🎶 Now, the cheesecake, fuhgeddaboudit! It was as big as a suitcase full of cash, but sweet enough to give a rival sugar rush! But let's talk 'bout that colossal calzone – it was so massive, I half expected a violin case to be smuggled inside! 🎻 And the price? Let's just say it's an offer you can't refuse! 💸 Now, the food prep time, it was quicker than a getaway car at midnight – 14 minutes flat, no funny business. ⏲️🌃

Had a great time at The Granary in Glasgow, I was served by Fern and She was super friendly and really looked after us — the service couldn’t have been better, after asking what drink she recommended She suggested the aperol spritz and honestly? one of the best I’ve had. So refreshing and just the right balance. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

I have used lee wah for over 40 years with the original family owners, they serve the best beef curry I have ever had, the sauce is unique. I used to travel by bus (4 stops). However I don't get out much now so haven't used it for a while. My only complaint is they have never delivered which I would love.
