L'italiano

Unfortunately this place place sadly closed. What a loss.used to go regularly Was Fantastic authentic quality , great service Pizza, starting from the base - it is was delicious and clearly made from quality flour, rustically wood fired, sauce is worthy addition and the toppings make the pizza within top 3 (basta & baffo) in glasgow. Sorry to see you go guys and wish you every success in next chapter.

Usually I can't see past the amazing l'Italiano pizzas but yesterday I was tempted by the Halloween Menu: and I was not disappointed. The wild mushroom soup was tasty and perfectly seasoned, topped with crispy croutons - the perfect starter. My main was possibly the best risotto I've eaten in a restaurant: seasonal pumpkin and mushroom, with parmesan crisps and truffle oil: chef Alessandro got the balance of flavours just right...and the colour! a feast for the eyes and tummy. Two courses were probably enough but I couldn't resist trying the Halloween cheesecake...bursting with blueberries it was the perfect end to a wonderful lunch, accompanied by smooth espresso. Hurry though, this special menu is only available until Halloween....though there are always those spooktacular pizzas!

Pizza base was exceptional. Puffy crust with a great flavour from the wood fire oven. The toppings and centre were delightfully gooey. I ate my pizza rolled up! Also had the pasta with chicken in tomato and cream sauce which was absolutely delicious especially fir diffibg our pizza crusts into. Mozzarella sticks, Calamari and ricotta and spinach arancini were all good starters. I particularly liked the spicy tomato sauce served with the mozzarella.
