5 editor picks in Glasgow.
5 italian places in Glasgow we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Glasgow | Italian across every city.
Italian Glasgow spans generations. La Lanterna, the city's oldest family-run Italian, has held Hope Street since 1970, and Sarti's all-day cafe-restaurant remains a Wellington Street fixture. The new guard is led by Sugo, the Paesano team's fast, loud fresh-pasta room on Mitchell Street, while Eusebi Deli plates award-winning pasta on Park Road and Little Italy has sold slices on Byres Road since the 1980s.
Eusebi Deli is an award-winning Italian deli-restaurant on Park Road in Glasgow's West End, serving fresh pasta, Roman-style bakes and Calabrian home cooking.
OrderWhatever fresh pasta is on the daily board, plus an arancini from the deli counter.
TipGrab focaccia and cannoli to go from the deli even if you are not staying for a full sit-down meal.
Sugo is a fast, loud fresh-pasta room on Mitchell Street in Glasgow's city centre, from the Paesano team, serving handmade pasta in the Lighthouse building.
OrderWhatever ragu is on that day, twirled through fresh pappardelle.
TipLike its sibling Paesano, it is walk-in only and turns tables quickly, so expect a short wait at peak times.
Sarti is a long-running Italian cafe-restaurant on Wellington Street in Glasgow, an all-day city-centre room for espresso, pasta and thin Roman pizza.
OrderA plate of pasta and a proper Italian espresso from the deli counter.
TipIt opens for breakfast, so it is a good bet for a morning pastry and coffee before the shops.
La Lanterna is Glasgow's oldest family-run Italian, a Hope Street city-centre room opened in 1970 and still serving classic pasta, veal and seafood.
OrderA classic veal dish or the fresh seafood pasta, cooked the old-school way.
TipThere is a second, larger La Lanterna on West Regent Street; this Hope Street original is the intimate one.
Little Italy has fed Byres Road since the 1980s, a bustling Glasgow West End counter for pizza by the slice, fresh pasta and strong Italian coffee.
OrderA hot slice of pizza from the takeaway counter, or a plate of fresh pasta at a table.
TipThe takeaway counter at the front is the quick option; the seated area behind is calmer for a full meal.
