"book this place through 5pm.com for a bite before the theater. we were shown on our table, which was in a narrow corner against another with other diners. server produced the menu and despite the 5pm offer of 2 curses with a glass...prosecco for £16.99, it showed that almost every option a addition fee was created. we were appalled to find that our glass of prosecco was a dimble-full (not sure where they found such small glasses). we stared with the minenstrone, which was added more like a dose tomatensuppe with a little veg. we paid extra for the branzino and more for a few riders to accompany this. when the food arrived, the fish was tiny, overcooked and cold and the bed of the Mediterranean veg, on which it was sitting, was mainly red. my daughter ordered a cocktail that never appeared. we asked for the bill, at the time when one of the diners from the neighboring table turned their head to me and said we should disappear here before they bump more into this corner. when the bill arrived, we were appalled to find that our 5pm 2 cursor offer at £16.99 per result was a bill for over £46. warned, people."

I have had a pre theatre meal here a few times now and it's nice. Portions are small but for the price you pay it's worth it.

Good atmosphere, food and service, if a little cramped. Generous portions. I would definitely return if I were in the area for a performance.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs. The food was terrible and served cold. The service was atrocious, making it the worst meal I've ever experienced.

Friends and I were going to a Show at The Kings Theatre and decided to have a meal to start our evening. This is a small restaurant and can feel a little View menu

Food no better than ok. Nothing seemed freshly made Staff were rude and incompetent. Brought the bill before we had even finished coffee, then stood over us waiting for payment I had to tell her to come back. Another waiter came 5 mins later again...had to tell him to come back. There's a queue say's the bold boy! Tell you what buddy.....We won't be in any queue to come back here

This restaurant is conveniently located near the King's Theatre, but unfortunately, that is one of its only positives. The atmosphere is lacking, partly due to the overly bright lighting and nervous service. The menu is unimaginative and the food lacks flavor and authenticity, with small portions that leave much to be desired. The spacious dining room is poorly laid out, with servers awkwardly maneuvering between tables. The waitstaff seemed inexperienced and confused, with service that was less than professional. The desserts were disappointing and the coffee was average. Overall, this restaurant is in desperate need of new management and a focus on improving the quality of the food and ser...

We arrived a few minutes early for a 6pm pre theatre and were asked to wait, fair enough. We got our table at 6.15. It was immediately at the bottom of the stairs with a very cold wind coming down for the street. Eventually I...went upstairs and closed the outside door. My starter was the pate, it had an unpleasant flavour and slightly mottled colour so I left more than 3/4 of it. To be fair, we weren’t charged for it. The wine (merlot) was £19 and absolutely awful, probably retails at £3-5. Main course was a greasy carbonara. Glasgow has many many Italian restaurants. If you need the convenience of being near the Kings theatre this is very close but be warned, it’s not anywhere near the bes... View menu

I am trying to find positive things to say in my reviews, but in all honesty, the only positive aspect of our visit was when we left. We struggled to locate the restaurant, as it is actually called Sannino and appears to be connected to a pizzeria. We had chosen the "pre-show" menu before going to the theater, and we should have been concerned when there were so many empty tables while other nearby restaurants were full. When our food finally arrived, we discovered a foil lid in one of the dishes (resembling one from a milk container). The dish was replaced, but there was no apology and certainly no discount on the bill. The chicken in another dish was completely overcooked, and the waitress...

Visited the restaurant with 3 adults 2 kids last night! Convenient for the Kings! Very busy but got seated straight away, very cramped feel, poor man in the corner was completely jammed in by me, very embarrassing! Got arancini and it came with 2 arancini...on the plate! Lasagne came one small square and that was it! Couldn't believe it I got the pre-theatre £14.95 and £3 for a juice so a twenty pound meal and we left still hungry i would not recommend this place at all unless you are a very small eater. THe kids in the group ordered the chicken and chilli sauce and it came just that chicken on a plate with a small pot of chilli sauce! £8 was definitely not worth it! The kids were looking fo...
