“The best Italian deli-restaurant in Glasgow and one of the best in the UK!” – this operation near Kelvinbridge subway station has been going strong for over four decades, and serves “just the most likable, interesting, superb” food (including “cannoli and other pasticceria delights you will happily remember long after a visit”). The “fantastically warm and smart service” and “amazing value” are further reasons why it’s so “hard to get into” (and why you “must book at weekends”).

“Outstanding Italian cooking and pasticceria” plus some “very interesting wines” (“mainly Italian but the selection is a bit ‘different” and includes a good variety by the glass) have won renown for this long-established (40 years plus) family-run deli/café near Kelvinbridge subway station. “There are great outdoor tables as well as on the ground floor… avoid the basement!”

“Fantastic deli fare, cakes and coffee – and great people-watching” – is the irresistible combination that draws a steady crowd to this legendary family-run operation on a corner near Kelvinbridge subway station. Over more than 40 years the business has developed from importing specialist artisan ingredients and products from across Italy to a deli-café that serves snacks and light bites all day, and in more recent years full-scale evening meals with home-made pasta.

Phenomenal small Italian deli of over four decades’ standing, a few minutes from Kelvinbridge subway station, which has its “counters of prepared deli produce and cakes and patisserie” but is also a notable destination thanks to its “amazing” cooking – “unfailingly well-prepared pasta in particular”, alongside antipasti and more substantial dishes. “Seemingly busy at all times of the day”, “staff are always so friendly and happy to explain the menu” but “service seems to suffer a bit from being so popular, particularly on the cramped ground floor (downstairs is a little more sedate and, dare I say, comfortable?)”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Times

Chitra Ramaswamy had a “fabulous” time at a “Glasgow institution” that began life three generations and four decades ago as a deli in the city’s East End, which is now the in-house bakery to the newer West End restaurant where she ate (a separate small-plates and natural wines spinoff is opening soon in nearby Gibson Street).

Chitra reckoned it’s “the real deal: a simultaneously old-school yet modern family-run Italian revering the best ingredients, sourced from all over the country”. The Eusebi family have been “studying the small print” on regional artisan pizza since well before “nerdiness relating to sourdough … and pizza ovens … and flour” was a thing. Their lasagne is a “stone-cold classic” that has been “sticking to the ribs of generations of Glaswegians”.

The Times is experimenting with AI-generated editing, which showed up amusingly in a picture caption which read: “If Ramaswamy in Glasgow she would be here all the time”. Being human readers, you probably gist.
