"Our third time at La Lanterna, it’s reputation for the best Italian Restaurant in Glasgow is well deserved. The food is superb and authentically cooked and presented by wonderful and friendly Italian staff, who know their dishes and are proud of the quality of the food they serve you. Fantastic wine list with lovely Pinot Grigio, Trentino and Sicilian Grillo whites, being our favourites, but there are dozens more of all types, reasonably priced. The dishes from the wonderfully light dipping bread, crispy arrancini and mouthwatering scallop starters, followed by veal Milanese with wild mushroom tagliatelle and my wife’s rich flavour packed lasagne were fantastic. I had the Zabaglione alla Marsala which was a revelation and is now favourite dessert!, my wife had the chefs special chocolate mousse which was so light and melted in your mouth, gorgeous. All of this delicious food was helped along with a bottle Grillo too. Not cheap, but I think very reasonably priced for the high standard of the meal and service from the staff and chefs. Quality is not expensive, it’s priceless! We will definitely return. Outstanding Italian restaurant."

"We were looking for something to eat before the rugby and regards to the reviews we thought it would be good restaurant with nice food ! But not sure who writes the reviews as the food was awful! Not worth a penny! Pizza is definitely not a home made pizza and you can get much much better in Waitrose ! The tomatoes on the bruschetta was definitely old and not a good quality and tasted awful. Very disappointing!"

"Wow !!!! Knew about the venue but never been until last night. I took my wife Michelle to celebrate her birthday and what a meal we were served. The service is first class and the food was top class and plenty of it, I did ask if a sauce could be substituted and asked for a dianne sauce the chef said it could but because he only had english mustard it would not taste the same. He was right, that info told me this chef knows his sauces. so we declined The starters came out and enjoyed. the mains Wow. the T bone was perfect Michelle’s Fillet just as good. If I have a n issue it is the parking but that just shows how busy it is. also the outside area could do with tidying up first impressions). All in all in my humble opinion you will need to travel a long way from Wolverhampton to find a better meal. And the staff were just as good as the food. Thank you Fiume for making our meal the best we have had in a long while. we will return."

"As always, great food and wine at great prices with a friendly but professional service. Outstanding value when you go for the special menu option. As a family of five adults of good appetite, we felt very well fed and well maintained. Thank you."

"I went for lunch yesterday at this restaurant. It was not my first time there and it certainly won't be my last. The staff is lovely, very polite, and attentive. We tried the lunchtime special which was £14 for three courses. It was an absolute delight! The meatball starter was delicious, the potato skins and pasta were generous portions, and the pizza was delicious and plentiful (we even took some home). If you want to have a fantastic meal, this is the place to go. They also have a beautiful outdoor seating area for the summer. I can't wait for the sunshine!"

"Went here randomly and did not regret it. It was empty when we arrived but started filling up when we were in there. We were initially apprehensive but it did not disappoint. I had the garlic mushrooms to start and they are probably the best garlic mushrooms I have even had!!! Our server was lovely (her name escapes me! but Ronnie, the manager, is a top guy. These guys deserve every success. Highly recommended."

"We had a fantastic Valentine's evening at this restaurant. It was busy and lively, and the pizza was absolutely delicious with a perfectly crispy crust. The traditional and intimate setting added to the overall charm, even though the tables were a bit small. However, this didn't detract from the cozy and homely feel of the place, with candles on each table creating a warm atmosphere. The service was attentive and the staff were sweet. Overall, we loved our experience here!"

"If you just want a quick bite before a theatre production then Limoncello is perfect. The Service was ok but lacked any interaction or warmth, it was literally brought and taken away plates. We asked for water, we were given warm tap water with no ice which was not the nicest tasting. We ordered a garlic bread with cheese that arrived resembling more like charcoal around the edges. It was completely burnt and obviously so. I was surprised that they would serve that. I did not complain but simply ate the middle bit and left the rest. The pizza I had was delicious. If like me, you like dessert, then I am afraid this is not the place for you. We asked for the dessert menu and were told flatly that they do not do dessert otherwise they would have offered a menu. With that, we paid and left feeling a little but short-changed. It was an experience but we will not be returning for another."

"This is a great restaurant with affordable prices. I will definitely be coming back soon. The steak was delicious, as well as the starter. I would highly recommend trying the Al Pepe steak. The service was efficient, and I appreciated that the food wasn't rushed out too quickly."

"After two weeks traveling around in Scotland, including the uppermost coastal parts of the Highlands. we just needed some real straight and good Italian food : and that was what we found here. We fully recommend this place but one should be aware that value speaking not much is for free there like everywhere in 2023 Scotland and especially in Edinburgh : Quite lively restaurant thus a bit noisy and frantic in the evening."

"We had a fantastic dinner here on Saturday the prawn starter was incredible as was the carbonara. One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. The kind waiter was amazing giving us the choice of what kind of pasta we wanted. The chocolate cake was really good and everything was so well priced. I am planning on going back next week."

"Lovely meal with the family last week at Regazzi. We visited after hearing from a friend the new owner is Mido. We highly recommend the mozzarella sticks, lamb chops starter, pollo funghi crema and the pollo milanese. Food was fresh and delicious! It was also nice to see the chefs interested in how much we enjoyed the food. The montepulciano d’abruzzo red wine went down a treat too! Great customer service in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit!!"

"The food is good. Good starters (Borchetta and halloumi fries), very good mains (lamb shank and bolognaise). Deserts were a mixed bag, (yummy brownie, the chocolate mouse did nothing for the profiteroles) Service was super fast and friendly. Quite noisy. Décor was tasteful. Toilets are a real let down, not nice at all. 2 people, 3 course meal, one alcoholic drink and one soft drink £73. That is good value. And, just for a delightful change, a service charge was not added to the bill. Definitely leave a decent cash tip for your hard working servers."

"Myself and two friends were looking for somewhere to eat last night (it was a saturday) and stumbled upon Pulcinella. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they found a table for us, and the managed was very welcoming. The waiters were all very polite and efficient with one of taking a photo for us as we couldn't manage to get all of us in the photo. We all ordered our 2 courses and when the food came I have to say it was some of the best I've tasted. I had bruschetta for a starter, and it was so fresh and bursting with tomato flavour. For my main I had a pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I've eaten in my life My two friends also thoroughly enjoyed their food too with everyone complimenting how good it was. The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect, it's very homey and welcoming. I think it is a great all-around place that would be perfect for romantic dates and also for family meals and whatnot. All in all, I know the next time I visit Glasgow, this will be one of my go-to places to eat"

"We went to dinner on Friday after work with friends. At first, we thought it was pretty quiet for a Friday night, but the atmosphere picked up. The ambiance was lovely, very cozy and intimate, and the waiter who served us was very friendly, not intrusive but informative when needed. For starters, we all had a variety of dishes: pate della casa, antipasto della casa, salad, and eggplant parmigiana. For mains, we had a T-bone steak, classic pasta dish, and a delicious chicken romano dish. Overall, we were satisfied with our meals, the seasoning, and the flavors were great. However, my friends who had the steak were not overly impressed. They felt that the texture of the meat suggested it might have been frozen at some point, rather than fresh. Despite this, we had a nice dining experience and would consider coming back. Next time, we may stick to the authentic Italian dishes as this is an Italian restaurant, and they do them very well."

"The manager of Ciao Italia took two weeks to respond to my request for a quote, and I had to follow up with them. The manager then sent me a very high quote for afternoon tea from a cafe email. I asked to reduce the quantity and the alcohol, but did not receive a response. The manager went on holiday and the food seemed to be from an outside caterer. There was too much food, endless jugs of alcohol, and glass cups with hot water and tea bags for making tea. I was pressured to pay a large bill at the end of the wake for my mother because the staff claimed they did not receive my request to reduce the order. Finally, the manager admitted that she had sent the quote from the wrong email and had not seen my request. It took over a month to receive a limited refund. It seems that this restaurant does many wakes, but I feel taken advantage of and ripped off. This experience made a stressful and upsetting day even worse."

"absolutely amazing service from the most amazing waiter who always sounds like alice, but not! he has made us a legendary! the older waitress was great, but the younger dark-haired girl was rude and almost ruined our experience, as she was so insane that I almost asked not to come to our table anymore! the food was delicious and that was worth waiting! great restaurant, great team (minus the young waitress) thank you for remembering my friends birthday one!"
