Una Storia in Glasgow City

Nous sommes allée mange un vendredi soir dans ce restaurant cuisine italienne simple et bonne et budget correct. Bon accueil du serveur

Tuve una experiencia agradable con amigos para el día de salida - tenía la chicas groupon y la comida estaba bien - nos sentimos muy relajados y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenido, de hecho estuvimos 6 horas era tan relajante. Sin duda volveremos. 1 vez a la calle y también que era ashton lane también

Staff drunk and very rude, food below par, asked for my dish with no mushrooms, dish came with mushrooms, mentioned to waiter, or huffed and puffed and took dish away, brought it back and it was now cold, gave it back and had fresh one made, that came with mushrooms, for a very small place, and 3 staff on the evening, how can they make this so wrong??

Don't do it!Food was awful and service matched.There are only so many microwaves food can take before transforming it into something unrecognizable!

Estaba aquí para cenar el sábado por la noche para una despedida de soltera y desde antes de que entramos hasta el momento en que dejamos la experiencia fue terrible.

Tuve una experiencia terrible aquí ayer.

No estoy muy seguro de por qué este restaurante tiene muchas buenas críticas.

Comimos aquí la semana pasada, y tuvimos un almuerzo muy agradable. Buena relación calidad-precio @ 6 libras. 95/2 campos. Las porciones son evidentemente más pequeña de dueño anterior, sin embargo, buena y suficiente para el almuerzo. Servicio podría haber sido un poco mejor, y el chico joven mejorada cuando salió de la cocina, cuando el jefe hizo para fumar. Perfectamente bien para almorzar

Yo no sabía que existía este restaurante aunque he estado en Ashton Lane muchas veces. Quizás que narra su propia historia. Teníamos el menú del almuerzo que fue una estupenda relación calidad-precio. La comida era muy sabrosa, pero no estoy seguro de que el queso en bastones de mozzarella fue 'lo que prometía. La arrabiata salsa era delicioso, aunque. El único inconveniente fue el precio de las bebidas. Hizo lo que pudo haber sido un encantador almuerzo una experiencia cara. Lo hemos probado, pero se ve a otro lugar la próxima vez. Hay mucha variedad en la zona.

I'm just leaving this place and it was shocking service and horrible food . Staff very rude...soup very salty, fish cake like a chewing gum with burned breadcrumbs... no taste of fish at all... when I approached staff and explain politely the issue he came back and in the front of other people said.."well sorry for that but we have checked now and there is nothing wrong with our fishcake " and offered alternative meal. Due to the fact that his body language was terrible I have thanked for alternative meal. Waited 15 mins to pay a bill and finally not well mannered waiter came with full bill to pay with no apology at all. I can believe this is happening in the middle of west end in Glasgow... no peoples skills at all...

Noche de cumpleaños en familia. . Me sentí muy bienvenido.. . . . 10 / 10 para la comida y el servicio. . . los camareros atentos y corteses. . . . . . Bistec cocinado a la perfección..

Had bought a groupon voucher for this place. When we arrived the place was busy. Despite booking by phone they had no record of having a booking. Perhaps this was groupon.coms fault.? Not sure. Extremely disappointing attitude from the staff, basically told to go away. Having been here twice before I can say the food is ok but made to feel very unwelcome tonight . No effort at all to accommodate. Won't be back. Don't take the groupon deal!! Disapiinted

I took advantage of a groupon deal for 4. I had arranged to attend today but on arrival it would appear I didn't complete the booking properly and only had the voucher code and barcode. The staff member did eventually contact his manager and they honoured my booking. One of the group had read the previous reviews and to be honest I was preparing myself for a plate of plain pasta. How wrong were we? The choices from the menus were varied .....not only that but the tasty servings were ample and satisfied our hunger pangs. Just a big thank you to the staff especially the chap who arrended and looked after us...the bus pass babes. We will be back.

Lovely cosy restaurant, really good food with friendly atmosphere. We visited twice on our last visit to Glasgow for evening meals. This restaurant came as a welcome change to all the chain (usually loud) restaurants.

I bought a voucher from Itison to try out this resteraunt and my experience would deter me from using one of these vouchers EVER agin! It was a Sunday afternoon. To start with {no fault of the resteraunt) it took os 20 minutes to get parked on or near Byres Rd, as a result were 10 minutes late for our booking. We were greeted with the waiter at the bottom of the stairs to the resteraunt, informing us that we wee late! We were taken to a small table at the end of the resteraunt and "loudly asked for our VOUCHER!We both ordered a starter, we know this was extra and not incuded in the voucher price. The starter was delivered promptly, watery, overpriced minestrone soup. We then sat for 40 minutes waiting for our main dishes, During this time other diners, who were seated only after we had finished our starter, had been served both their starters and main dishes. At this point I wanted to just leave but my partner encouraged me to stay. The main meal was more emjoyable than the starter, but the whole experience and service was unpleasant. On leaving the resteraunt, at the bottom of the stairs, a very pleasant woman approached me approached and said 'you don't look very happy' I explained that she was right and during the course of the conversation I realised she was staff maybe manager! She went on to explain 'these people who book with vouchers usually.......... and asked me to please return'. I was appalled!I thought restaurants who offer deals on vouchers etc, intended to use the opportunity to promote the resteraunt, otherwise it becomes a lose lose situation for everyone.

Had a lovely afternoon wuth my friend until we decided to go for Afternoon (1pm) lunch..One sad looking empty restaurant and food ( i think thats what it was) took 45 i ordered a prawn cocktail for a starter so why the wait?.My food was disgusting didnt eat a bit of it and my friends lunch was the same the funny thing was that the waiter didnt even ask us if it was alright or how the food was.. totally waste of £18.90...Absolutely shockn food and a disguise place. Never go here please ive just lost a score so your well warned!!!!!!.

Food is being done cheaply, very cheaply.The mozzarella carrozza wasn't made with mozzarella. Cheese was yellow and tasted more like cheddar.The strips of beef were defiantly not fillet as advertised, they were not strips and were grossly outnumbered by the mushrooms. The potatoes with my main course were supposed to be roasted but came boiled. When I queried this I was told that they were roasted despite clearly being boiled. My main course, the Pollo Valdostana was supposed to be chicken filled with mozzarella, Parma ham and basil. What came was a chicken breast butterflied, with some kind of cheese melted on top with a slice of thick non-Parma ham on top. No wonder this place was empty at 8:30 in the evening. I wish we had turned around and left when there was only one other table taken.

I am extremely disappointed in this restaurant firstly I bought this as a Christmas gift for my family and they couldn't book it themselves and I had to do and then when they got there last night they where told they didn't not have a reservation so embarrassed she had to call me to forward on the confirmation email which I think is a total disgrace so I complained about the poor customer service they received only to be told the problem is with groupon not the restaurant this is laughable take responsibility for your own rude staff.

We happened to find this place while wandering down the alleyway of trendy University bars. We didn't have a booking but we were greeted warmly and shown to a table. The restaurant is very tiny, it only seats about 20 people, so we felt lucky to get a table. The décor is whimsical and the atmosphere is lively, with the host - who is also the sole server - chatting boisterously with everyone.We started with the gamborini inferno (hot chili shrimp) which is one of the best things I've ever had. My partner loved his chicken parmigiana, while my vegetarian lasagne was a disappointment (I would go for a meat dish next time instead). The wine was good and the prices were very reasonable. You sit very close to other diners, but since everyone seems to be having a good time, it makes for a fun and convivial evening.

We booked using 5pm.com. Menu provided was limited selection but was fair enough considering it was a deal. Food good but maybe a little more would have been good. It was lunchtime do maybe that's a little too critical. Staff friendly and no issues. Only thing worth noting is that if you book through 5pm it may not mean you have table reserved. You could end up waiting. Overall would still recommend,

We had a groupon gift to use here and booked in January - checked to confirm time of booking and a very rude person on the phone said booking didn't exist- I then tried to rebook and they said they could see us but it wouldn't be a groupon deal - could not get through to whoever was on the phone that we had a gift to use - they weren't interested - no help at all- will never use this place- service was disgusting - so rude! And to top it off they have told groupon we used the voucher and we can't get a refund. THEFT!

very compact and bijou; went in for lunch musselscrepesmash and sausagecoffeesuperb; very authentic food and comfortable atmosphere; highly recommended!

I visited today with my husband. Small friendly place to visit with nicely priced food. I hate minestrone soup and decided to try it. It was spicy and lovely. The risotto was delicious. Very continental place hidden away. Staff are polite and professional. We will be back.

My wife and myself visit here on Friday 13th (very apt) Jan using a Groupon voucher that we received as a Xmas present. We have visited this establishment many times previously, hence the gift, and have never had a bad word to say about the food or service. On arrival we were presented with a "Groupon Menu" which can best be described as "Vegetarian unfriendly" (my wife being a Vegetarian) but on request we were told that she could have her normal order of Vegetarian Lasagne. (big mistake)The "Lasagne" turned out to be a plate of melted cheese with very little to no vegetables and NO layers of pasta. When the waiter came to clear the table he asked how our meal was and wasn't too please when my wife gave a truthful answer, which should have been obvious due to the fact the plate was hardly touched. He then spoke to the "chef" who informed us that this is the same Vegetable Lasagne as always ? I can only assume this is a different "chef" as to the one previously employed at this establishment as I have also sampled the Vegetarian Lasagne before due tasting my wife's meal and finding it so nice I've ordered it myself (Carnivore) Someone needs to let the "Chef" know that Lasagne is a dish with layers of pasta and not just cheese and sauce and the owner, who was not on site before we left, needs to know that if this type of customer service and quality of food continues he will not have many returning customers. As previously stated we have visited here fairly regularly due to the quality of food and excellent service but will be having serious doubts about returning again.

We took friends over from Greece to this place recently . The waiter's behaviour was appalling . Firstly, he made jokes about Greek people not paying taxes . Then, when we asked for one of the dishes, Stroganoff , to be served with potatoes rather than rice It was served with rice and 2 tiny roast potatoes that looked as though they had been left over from the Christmas lunch menu . Also, a very drunk couple appeared in the restaurant , not to eat, but simply to say hello to the waiter. They sat down and started shouting over to other customers and being generally disruptive. The waiter did nothing to calm them down. This was a very negative experience for us on what should have been a pleasant farewell dinner for our Greek friends. The food and drink was also very overpriced for what we received.

Overall not very impressed.Lasagne was a small portion and very cheesy with little meat.Starter was OK.Service was good if a bit intrusive.Very cold draught when outside door opened.Access stairway from Ashton Lane are very steep and handrail was adorned with festive lights rendering them unusable.

Upstairs restaurant, cosy/compact/commodious ! The 5pm menu is limited for mains, I chose the sirloin £4.95 extra, shouldn't have bothered. Friends had lasagna, ok, pasta/salmon, not bad, chick strips/ peppers/rice/sauce, ok. A bit dissapointed with the meal even on a deal. Service was good, waiters nice - although not great to see 2 of the waiters sharing a bottle beer at the till area ! Tables close together, very noisy altho it is run up to Xmas so understandable, busy even st 5 pm. The head waiter/manager is a nice guy, very attentive.

We visted with friends and it was better than the last time we were there and that was good! The staff were all lovely, Adam especially was a very attentive server and made us feel very at home. Two of us had the specials (seafood/scallops linguine and the other had veal) with the others having 2 courses of the set menu (pate for one, mussels for the other and both had lasagne). The food was gorgeous,portions were spot on and the wine delish. I would recomend this cracking wee restaurant to anyone. Looking forward to my next vist!

Came here with a groupon voucher for 2 courses each and prosecco, I was given as a gift, didn't even know it was on the lane even though I frequent the lane a lot!! Place is tiny (maybe 8 tables) but this gives it an intimate cosy feel, so don't take that as a negative. And is also clean which is a bonusService was great, very friendly and attentive. We were given a set "groupon" menu, which was fine, the only thing is the main courses were slightly limiting, starters were great with plenty of choice but from the main courses you were pretty stuck. We had mozzarella carozza and arancini to share for starters, and then I had a sausage and vegetable pasta and my partner had a king prawn pasta with garlic bread to share. Food was all lovely, would just maybe advise to widen the groupon menu choice up a little. All in all we enjoyed and would definitely return

Had eaten in this restaurant in the past under another name so know it's very small and you get to know your neighbouring diners well as tables are close together .It has rustic decor -you don't come here for that -you come for the great food and authentic ambience. Restaurant was quiet when we arrived but filled up really quickly with all tables taken -so book in advance . We both had bruschetta and then lasagne from the 2 course menu -cannot fault either -delicious . Friendly service . Would definitely come back if in the Ashton Lane area .

Pasamos un fin de semana en Glasgow y el servicio fue extremadamente lento. Si quieres disfrutar de la comida pide tres botellas de vino porque la primera se termina antes de que llegue el starter. La comida no está mal pero el servicio es pesimo.

Beautiful food very good service and a few of Italy, what more can you ask for? Very small and intimate restaurant, felt lucky to get table as really busy, stunning food and we'll priced.

tried to book a deal with Groupon,shambles!! decided to book this small but excellent restaurant myself, great choice my wife and i loved every minute of our meal , great food and service, so relaxed and helpful staff, this is how all restaurants wish to be and should be, i would highly recommend this great restaurant. we where there on a Saturday afternoon busy little place, book in advance so your not disappointed, Meraviglioso !!

We visited Ashton Lane in Glasgow in search of a nice reasonably priced restaurant in great surroundings. Una storia is very small with only six or seven tables. And it's full all the time! The food is absolutely great beautiful, full of flavour and fresh. Restaurant is Italian, chef is Italian and staff is also Italian and they create great italian atmosphere.

We had dinner here on Friday evening.We arrived 1 hour early and went in to see if there was availability, we were welcomed by a very cheerful waiter who checked the reservations and offered us a table immediately.The food was very nice the risotto was delicious.We purchased a groupon voucher for a 2 course meal with a glass of prosecco and it was excellent value.I would certainly go back but best to book in advance as it is a small restaurant.There are very mixed reviews but I would certainly recommend it as we were very satisfied with the overall experience. The wine pricing is about the same as most places.

A very small restaurant ( only 8 tables) but very well worked. Met right at the door( not a lot of options - when you're in , you're in). Food was good & service was good. Tables can get a bit chummy - but just deal with it - we had a great conversation with the ladies next door. I would recommend & would go back. Also give yourself time to explore Ashton Lane - well worth it. Drink- beer was priced ok but £9.95 for a half carafe of House White ? Only nit picking now, as I've said I wil go back.

Had the £6.95 two course lunch. Great choice and value. Wine was decent and not expensive. Relaxed atmosphere but the waiter was a bit full on and over-familiar. He was probably trying to be friendly but felt a little uncomfortable. However, if you can see past the mild flirting the food was fab.

Amazing authentic Italian food! Small restaurant, great atmosphere, and service. salmon was perfectly cooked, very moist and cooked through. Just booked another visit for a graduation meal, excited to go back!

This restaurant is amazing!I have visited this restaurant a few times and cannot fault the food, service and location. On this visit, I took my mum for her birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine and atmosphere. We ate from the 5pm menu, added a sweet and had a bottle of wine + prosecco for £30 each. The staff are kind, attentive and helpful and actually made our night. The waiter recommended food and wine and made sure we were happy during our visit.We had bruschetta and mozzarella sticks to start then lasagne and salmon for the main course. If we could've licked the plates we would have. The food was delicious.We had the cheesecake and tiramisu to end the meal and both desserts were to die for. Please visit Una Storia if you are in the Glasgow's West End, you won't be disappointed. Thank you to all the staff who really made our visit extra special. I will definitely return again.

Booked this through 5pm.com for myself and my friend. Table reserved for 8pm. When we arrived there was a party of 4 in front of us who also had booked a table. After they were seated we were kept waiting in the doorway for 20 minutes. As part of the 2 courses, a glass of prosecco was included. We were each handed a glass (which we assumed was to enjoy while we waited). We were shown to our table but 5 minutes later we were told we would have to move to another table!!! Our order was taken along with our drinks order. We asked about our glass of prosecco and was told we'd had it!!! So much for thinking they were being hospitable earlier!!!!! Our starter arrived within minutes but still no drinks!!! Main arrived almost as soon as our plates from our starter were taken away!!! Our drinks eventually arrived as we finished our mains!!!! The starters were very average! My mozzarella sticks had obviously been reheated, as they were overdone. The bruchetta was tasteless and lacking in imagination! The mains were ok, but nothing I couldn't do at home. We did complain about the wait and we were given a free shot of lemoncello but calling it a shot is being generous!!!!I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially with the numerous options nearby!!! The waiter was very good and almost embarrassed by the attitude of the owner/manager.I don't think it was worth the wait or money. My initial instinct to leave was right!!! 5pm.com should rethink having this restaurant on their website as it doesn't so their reputation any good.

We received a Groupon voucher as an engagement present. We are in the middle of moving house so called today to extend the voucher until next weekend and the person that answered the phone was extremely rude told me NO then hung up the phone . . Couldn't believe it.

Ate here on Friday night - booked a table earlier in the day and on phoning asked if we had a voucher which we didn't. Initial impression very compact place, friendly waiter offered a 6 place table for the two of us. Only one waiter taking orders, serving and running the bar, so waited a while for order to be taken. Nice touch gave us chilled glasses for our wine. Then the food came. Deep fried mushrooms very greasy and mayonnaise had oil on the surface, calamari although loads of it was chewy. Mains tagliatelle with sausage pretty tasteless, I had veal which was ok but sautéed potatoes tasted like they'd been there before. Half way through eating found a hair on my plate. Waiters response was hairs and flys get in food in kitchens! Don't think so! Didn't wait for desert. He didn't charge us for my main but all in all a disappointing birthday dinner and won't be rushing back.

Iv read other bad reviews on here so I will keep it short. Served by a very rude waiter who was not interested in customer service, until my 80 year old mother told him she was out for a pleasant dinner not an argument. Seats torn, urinal broke and stinking. Food was real crap and the place was filthy.most people where here with vouchers. Do yourself a favour Glasgow has good clean dinners that do deals, give this place a miss.

As per the other reviews we had a lovely meal however did find it a bit cheeky when they charged me £20 for a £3.99 bottle of pinot grigio from Lidl. Somthings don't go unnoticed so keep an eye out

I can't believe I have been going to Ashton Lane for years and have only just discovered this place. We were here as part of a large group a few weeks ago and then back again last night. The food is beautiful and I cannot fault it in any way. Perfect. (wine is a bit pricy)

Not fancy, but inexpensive, tasty meal in a very small and cozy setting. We thought it was great. If you want a 5 star experience, this isn't your place, but otherwise it's worth a go!

Went here with a Itison voucher, main course and glass of wine for two. Pleasant atmosphere friendly staff, only one person serving. Ordered lasagna, garlic bread & portion of chips. Food pipping hot and tasty. However the front door was kept open although I was seated at the back of restaurant I was frozen. So wear something cosy and u will be fine. Left straight after food as cold. Pleasant night.

Me and my boyfriend came here via a groupon deal, which was a two course dinner with prosecco for two. We were about 15 minutes late, but that didn't matter at all. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.The starters were delicious, I had the mozzerella sticks and my boyfriend had the fried rice balls. Both were surprisingly good! The mains were great as well, especcially the risotto was yummy!

This was our second visit to this restaurant I booked it for my husbands 50th having previously enjoyed a visit with friends, however was really disappointed second time around. A glass of prossecco was included in the deal and while the first time there was no problem in exchanging this for a beer this was not allowed on the second visit ?? We had a long wait for our our food which when it arrived was nice , the soup was tepid and the desserts are very overpriced and of very poor quality,

Arrived here 20 minutes early. Was told by a very rude waiter that i would need to wait, which we were happy to do. Was directed to a dirty table, even though there were empty tables available. Had to ask for a drink as we were ignored. Felt very uncomfortable when the rude waiter came out and said we had no booking. I showed him the reservation email and afte he made a big scene he stormed off into the kitchen shouting and screaming. We sat there listening to the staff all arguing very loudly from the kitchen. It was so awkward and my partner wanted to leave. We decided to stay and hoped things would get better. He brought out the drinks, including a can of diet coke which was part of a multi pack, I didn't realise that these were legal to sell to the public in restaurants. Our starters came out soon after, the prawn cocktail was average but the pate was very dark in colour, like it had been lying out all day and it tasted a bit off. Things seemed to be going from bad to worse. Our main meals appeared and on the surface looked ok, that was until I went to eat my third forkful. I was horrified to see a dead wasp lying there in my food. I called over the waiter and showed him this. His reply was "it's the season for wasps"!!! I was astounded! He asked if I would like another meal, but I was done at this point. We decided to leave. On our way out he sarcastically shouted ciao. Our evening was totally spoiled. Avoid this place, rude staff, overpriced rotten food and rip off multi packs of coke, and I dread to think how a dead wasp ended up in the food as part of my meal.

Booked dinner for 5 on 5pm. Friendly welcome, drinks straight out, lovely food, 2 of the party veggie were not disappointed, friendly service.

Dined here on Saturday using the 5pm menu which has a great choice and not too much extra to pay if you want a tasty steak- with real chips. A lovely glass of prosecco is also included so happy days. Staff are great, very attentive and very peasant too. Cosy inside, very pleasant ambience and all our dishes didn't disappoint. I would recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be returning - Prego everyone!

The waiters were very friendly, service good, and pleasant atmosphere. The food was OK but not outstanding. An enjoyable evening.

Good food with a nice atmosphere. Been here several times recently and enjoyed it. A wee place in Ashton lane which ould be overlooked but I recommend that you don't miss it.

We had booked a table for 8pm, although when we arrived it wasn't ready and other customers were getting seated before us who hadnt booked. The waiter never even acknowledged us. He got flustered when he realised how long we had been waiting and rushed a table out, offering them the bill and not offering them a desert menu or anything. The restaurant is small and only had about 10 tables in the restaurant. It was a bit of a squish. There was only 1 waiter who was also the barman. We ordered the risotto. It was very bland with no flavour. I had to keep adding salt to it. We bought a voucher to come here so glad we never paid full price for our meal.

Went here last night with a group on voucher we had been given. This was a two course meal and a glass of prosecco with your meal. The mozerella sticks are to die for! For main meal I had the spicy Italian sausage spaghetti for dinner which was also beautiful. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Service was fantastic, food was fantastic and as was the atmosphere. Will definetly be back!

I bought a voucher for a 2 course dinner with a glass of Prosecco. The food was good value, we had to pick from a set menu which had a good choice. The service was good and the staff very friendly and good fun. My only negative comment would be the restaurant is really tiny (I wouldn't recommend it to young families) but it did have a lovely ambience.

Very nice food, really friendly staff, nice atmosphere and you will end up talking to other diners.I'd go back in a heartbeat if and when I visit Glasgow again.

I`d recommend this little venue for a really good value lunch. Fixed price two course menu at £6.95 gives you simple, home cooked Italian fare that is absolutely delicious. Nothing fancy about the restaurant or the food but good portion sizes and good service too. Definitely will be back.

We stumbled across this tiny restaurant by accident and decided to have a meal here... The service was friendly, happy and enjoyable and we ended up having a laugh with staff throughout our time here. To start with we ordered the rice balls (can't remember what they were called on the menu now). These were average, but we were given a bit extra since we were sharing, which was lovely of the staff. I had expected the mains to be average like the starter, but was entirely mislead. I ordered the risotto with chicken and asparagus, and my boyfriend got the leg of lamb. Both were exceptional. One of the best risotto's I have had, the balance of flavours was brilliant, and it was cooked to perfection. The meat on the lamb leg just melted off the bone. We had a side of garlic bread with this, which came as thick rustic slices that went perfectly with the food. We washed this all down with the house white wine, which, for a house white wine, was really decent and enjoyable to drink.It's a nice little restaurant, with a bunch of friendly and upbeat Italian staff. The restaurant is minuscule, though, and at times can feel cramped. Wine bottles were stored above my head and during the meal staff had to keep leaning over me to get to the bottles which was mildly uncomfortable. The toilets, also, leave a lot to be desired...they're not nice at all. Overall though, I liked this place and I would go back again given the chance!

A small restaurant upstairs in Ashton lane off Byres road in West End of Glasgow.Service was excellent but the food was average. Salad was doused with far too much oil and the lettuce was not fresh. My spaghetti Marinara was not fresh. Beef stroganoff was enjoyed by one of our party. Over all I would not return to this restaurant.

Lovely little restaurant with exceptional service. 5pm offers a Dessert as a second course and the in house menu only has starter and main. Asked the waiter if we could have desert as second course and he sorted it while being very charming. Would return very tasty and good portions good value.

Lunch visit here today , using an itison voucher.This is a small restaurant, friendly waiter, food was OK but 2 points off as the portion as absolutely tiny. Suspect this was due to the voucher as other tables had much larger portions.Other restaurants give regular portions when using itison rather than smaller ones so very disappointed

Recommended by the pub near by and was not disappointed. Food was very good and the staff very friendly. A very small place but it meant we got speaking to fellow diners and the atmosphere was brilliant. My daughter lives in the west end and didn't realise it was there so will be giving it a visit after our comments . Well worth a visit if you are staying in the west end

My partner and I had a lovely unexpected meal here. I know there must be cons to having a restaurant up a narrow flight of stairs and only having the minimum amount of room available but I think this just adds to the restaurant. It gets everyone smiling at each other and starting conversations that would never be started in your usual chain restaurants. The food is lovely, we had the lasagna and a beautiful chicken dish in a tomato sauce with garlic bread and chips to share. Nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about either a nice averaged priced Italian.

Lunch for five of us, squeezed into this tiny upper floor eatery.Cheerful and prompt service, despite the place being absolutely full. Straightforward lunch menu prompted swift arrival of attractive and wholesome slightly rustic Italian starters and main courses. Delightful meals enjoyed by all. Service, food quality, and amazing value make the whole event excellent. Why pay more?

We sought out Una Storia as a quieter and more intimate spot for dinner than the busy restaurants and bars along Ashton Lane, we missed it at first but then spotted the sign high up above the steps. It was almost empty at 8pm on a Monday but had filled up by 9pm. It was even smaller than we expected so has limited capacity.Good points:+ Rather old fashioned but charming little place+ Good value and service+ Much quieter than the street level bars and restaurantsNot so good points:- Access by external steps only- One of the few places that I have been to recently that has a poor house red wine, this is best avoided and reminds me of the plonk that we used to be offered years ago (another sign that Una Storia is rather old fashioned)- Unfortunately the cooking won't win any culinary awards and the dishes don't compare favourably with other Italian independent restaurants or the better chains (eg Jamie's Italian)

Virkelig intim og hyggelig italiensk restaurant. Den ligger lidt gemt på første etage på Ashton Lane. Restauranten er meget lille! Fremragende betjening og der var ikke en finger at sætte på noget! Kan varmt anbefales hvis man ønsker et hyggeligt og godt sted at spise.

My nephew and his wife gave me a voucher deal for my birthday. There was a choice of pasta or risotto. I had the pasta and my husband the risotto. Both were delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very intimate surroundings and perfect for any occasion.

Small intimate Italian restaurant. Very reasonable prices and extremely friendly staff would definitely recommend it. We had the early dinner option, but even their full menu was very reasonably priced. Would definitely eat here again.

I went as a group of 4 for my birthday to this lovely restaurant, it's really small but very nice and the food was lovely, the waiter catered to our every need asked of him Between the 4 of us we had Pate,Rice balls, mussels and king prawns to start with, we then had chicken in peppercorn sauce,tagliatelle and all the plates were wiped clean

Went here on an itison voucher. The choice of food was very good and the vegetarian main course I ordered (the Penne Mexicana) tasted delicious. The wine on offer was of a good quality and the Tiramisu was to die for. The restaurant is up a very steep stair which is not for the faint-hearted but the restaurant itself is worth the climb as it is small, cosy and charming. Would recommend that you give Una Storia a try - they have excellent lunch and pre-theatre offers on all the time.

Quirky wee Italian place in the middle of Ashton Lane. Ideally located for a pre cinema meal. Nice atmosphere. Pleasant and helpful staff. Early evening menu has a good choice and is reasonably priced at £12.95 for two courses. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered and would happily return.

Went on voucher deal. Was surprised there was no extra charge for having seafood pasta. Was ok. Large prawns but a bit tasteless. The squid was tasty. Lots of mussles. Been to this restraunt in the past over the years. Very small inside.

This was my first time here and my partner's third. Great relaxed atmosphere and even better food. Service was prompt and friendly. Couldn't ask for anything more.

We travelled a long distance, booked for a party of 12 people,asked about kids 3 of them all under 10 yrs. some of our party arrived late. Apologised about the delay. Ordered a range of drinks. The Restuarant is small I was embarrased when the waiter confronted me to say the £11.95 menu with preseco was unavailable, because some of our paty were late, and that we would have to pay £13.95 a head including full price for the children. His eyes rolled to the people in the next table. The sourful waiter created a unwelcome atmosphere. Should have walked away. Manuel fawlty towers without his humour would describe the night. Food was delicous compliments to the chef. Would advise owners to have a childs menu . welcome their guests treat anyone the way you would like to be treated , with courtesy and respect. we have travelled around the world eat out in small Italian restuarants been delighted with flavours and dishes, una storia doesn't match this at all. Booking large celebrational meals seemed a hassle .

This place was great. We visited Glasgow in December from the US and wanted some Italian food as a break from the pubs. What a fantastic surprise. The staff was friendly, entertaining and made us feel at home. Haven't laughed that much at dinner in a while. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is among the buzz of Ashton lane .it is a small intimate space. The interior has gone for the traditional red and white check Italian look. The main of chicken Vesuvio was delicious in a creamy sauce with red peppers through it and served with rice.

My husband & I came here last week & were delighted with this little find! Service was great and the food was perfect - best Italian I've had in a long time. Couldn't recommend highly enough! We got an Itison deal but will definitely be back to sample some other dishes from the menu!

This was our 3rd visit to this restaurant but we won't be coming back!!! The food was very good however my problem was with the manager insisting on us having whiskey and cocktail that we didn't want and them adding them to our bill. Needless to say he didn't get a tip. We won't be returning.

My friend and I were having a "lets take a wander round the West End" day and came across this little restaurant in Ashton Lane. Attracted by the reasonably priced lunch menu we climbed the stairs and into this wonderfully cosy little restaurant!! The waiter was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and the recommended wine went down a treat!!! A great place to relax, eat, drink, chat and all at a good price!! We shall certainly be back!!!

We went there on a Wednesday night with a 5pm deal - delicious food, nice service, nice small restaurant above Ashton Lane.

Quaint little restaurant, nice menu and good value for money. Friendly staff with a bit of craic. Good location for a spot of socialising.

I have been here a couple of times since moving to Glasgow and thoroughly enjoyed myself on both occasions. The food is good, the atmosphere nice, the staff attentive and friendly. I recommend it without reservation.

The service you receive is next to none. The staff are excellent, an example of their attention to you was on arrival my friend complained about being hungry and keen to order so the owner brought us over a board of bread and olives, which was free of charge to tide us over. The early dinner menu has about 6 choices of starter and 6 main. The house white wine is very nice too. For an Italian, the mix of food available was great.

Hat zwar nur Platz für etwa 10 Leute und es ist ja eigentlich eine Schande in Schottland zum Italiener zu gehen anstatt Haggis zu probieren, doch hier gibts die besten Zitronen-Nudeln mit Lachs die ich je im Restaurant gegessen habe! Sehr gemütlich im zweiten Stock gelegen, stolze aber gerechtfertigte Preise.

We visited this cozy Italian restaurant on the first floor of an old building in Ashton Lane beside other eateries and Pubs. The Early Dinner menu was presented to us along with 2 others all offering a wide selection Nice ambience with attentive, friendly staff . The food was typically Italian and very nice, perfectly seasoned and well presented. This is not Fine Dining but then it dosn't pretend to be. Good menu choice, well cooked and gentle on the wallet. Hits the mark.

A lovely Italian restaurant, small and romantic! We visited on a Monday night, so was quiet but our evening was made very special by the owner Amor! I had the Seabass which was absolutely delicious and my husband had the beef stroganoff which was delicious too! Such a lovely relaxing atmosphere and would certainly go back again. Well worth a visit!

We all really enjoyed the food, it was delicious. It is very small and not fancy but the guys are hilarious and the atmosphere is fun. The food speaks for itself. Prices reasonable.

Opted for the 2 course lunch found my food to be a bit tasteless although my husband enjoyed his spaghetti . Decor looked like a rush job toilets were clean. Good location perhaps I would have been more impressed with the food if I'd opted for the a la carte menu

Great place to meet up. Food good. Great value. Booked for 2 course with glass of Prosecco for a table of 8 - good menu choices and excellent portions. Fresh roses on table would have been a nice touch but they were dead.Service was a little slow but they was only one person serving. Very friendly staff but a little pushy trying to get us to spend more money.Not suitable for those with limited mobility - outside stairs with awkward handrail.

Cheap n cheerful. Don't expect too much. Lunch menu portions are small. I ordered sausage and mash. 2 chipolatas arrived on a mound of what tasted like Smash. Not real mash.

I own a kitchen cleaning company and I was called out to take a look at the ventilation extraction system to provide a quote for cleaning this. Ally, the manager/owner? was extremely polite and plausible and I duly surveyed the extremely dirty system and provided a quote for cleaning. The quote (£320 + VAT) was accepted and our engineers completed the works on 19th May. Everything seemed fine until we realised that the invoice was not going to be paid. To cut a long story short, Ally's husband owned the restaurant at the time of the clean and now she owns it with the original company going into liquidation blah blah - you know how these things pan out I'm sure! Shameful treatment of a small business. Named and shamed!Andy Malloy - Director Blitz Group

Una Storia is an amazing restaurant. Having visited a number of times, not only can I say the food is absolutely gorgeous, the menu choice is amazing,the portions are superb but I can also say the staff make the restaurant visit such a great experience. Don't miss this slightly hidden away gem.... It's well worth a visit! Awesome food/place and 5 Stars

Almoçamos neste pequeno restaurante italiano da Ashton Lane durante a tarde de uma sexta-feira. Preço ótimo para entrada+prato de 6,95. Atendimento super atencioso e comida saborosa.

Menu du midi vraiment déplaisant une fois testé... Hamburger fait maison avec un bout de pain et un steak surgelé... Prix démesuréRestaurant à ne pas expérimenter

This was the first time my husband and I along with our young daughter had visited Glasgow's West End, somewhere we decided to head for lunch. We went into the quaint Una Storia restaurant, which although it is small inside, it is quirky, welcoming and best of all it served delicious food. There was plenty to choose from for myself being a rather fussy vegetarian, my husband had the tasty scallops and our daughter spaghetti with chicken which she really enjoyed.We went at lunchtime and it was buzzing with a mixture of clientele, from friends and couples, and equally we felt it suited families too. This restaurant would be ideal for a romantic evening dinner as the location is really lovely in a vibrant area which is is around the corner from the subway. Finally I have to give a particular mention to the owner, who made the visit thoroughly enjoyable and watching him laugh and interact with the other diners was really lovely to see. Whilst we are not regular visitors to Glasgow we would certainly make the effort to return to this restaurant the next time we are there. Thank you!

A fab wee Italian restaurant in the middle of Ashton Lane. Amazing food, great service, staff very welcoming and helpful.<br />Up a steep flight of stairs, and very small inside but it gives the restaurant a cosy feel.<br />No Pizza on the menu so not for pizza lovers, but plenty of other options on the menu

You cannot complain at a 2 course lunch for £6.95, especially when the choice is this good and quality excellent. Served with typical Italian charm.

Great little Italian restaurant! Arrived in Glasgow West End area rather late and most places were closed and we stumbled onto this little gem in Ashton Lane. The owner Ali was very accommodating and friendly as it was only 20 min till closing. Food was outstanding from the wine, meal , and the best carrot basil soup. It was so good we went back the next night!!! Give this place a try!
