The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Scallops wrapped in pancetta is a good way to start in this large, airy and stylish basement dining room. The portion is generous and the scallops not overcooked. The antipasto misto is described as a signature dish, but is a little disappointing. It suffers from being portion controlled and although, amongst a few other items, there is parma ham, bresaolo and mortadella you only get one slice of each. Pasta mains are a safe bet, the tagliolini trastevere a garlicky mix of chicken, tomatoes, pancetta and basil. Fresh linguine alle vongole is rich, creamy and features a healthy number of clams. The pan-fried duck breast lacks flavour confirming that pizzas and pastas are what they do best. To finish, the coppa amarena is great. You can’t go wrong with good vanilla ice cream and these wonderful Italian cherries marinated in syrup. A popular place, booking is advised at weekends.

Disappointed!
Child waitress forgot to mention that two large glasses of House Red (Chianti) would cost £9.25 each. Also forgot to mention the cheaper option of Merlot.
£19.50 for two glasses of wine is a disgrace, and rather a bombshell when we had explicitly requested House Red.
Staff training urgently required!
Food good, but left with extremely nasty taste over this extortionate and devious sales ploy.

Dissappointing. Founded complaint by several tables ignored regarding poor hygiene, disturbing odours,. almost damp like presence when dining.
No matter how good food was going to be the surrounding odours wera always going to overpower, the same could be said of the lack of concern/reaction from the waiting staff and indeed the management team.
Overpriced pasta with poor service = no return to this establishment, even after many years of loyalty I am afraid

Perhaps the best Italian in Glasgow. The restaurant is beautiful, the service attentive and the food is wonderful. The fritto misto is a lovely dish which I find myself re-ordering frequently. Also enjoyed the meatballs with tomato sugo, as well as the pizzas, calzone and panacotta for desert. The gamberoni diavola starter is exquisite. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough, the standard of cooking is excellent.
