Quick info
About Caprese Don Costanzo
On Woodside Crescent in Glasgow, Caprese Don Costanzo is an Italian restaurant built around a pizza-free menu of classic Italian fare. The kitchen runs a full menu alongside daily specials, and gluten free options are available. Specials are not priced on the menu itself and can appear unitemised on the bill, worth confirming before ordering. The nougat dessert closes things out. Live music nights run alongside the regular service, giving the room another draw beyond the food. Seating works on a walk-in basis rather than reservations, so parties arrive and are seated as tables become free. The approach favours traditional dishes over the pizza most Italian spots lean on, with specials changing day to day.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly praise the food as excellent and authentic, with the nougat dessert singled out as a recommendation and gluten free options noted as handled well. Service draws consistent warmth, including one account of a server going out of her way to clean a guest's kimono after a tomato sauce spill and chatting about the restaurant's family history. Several call the atmosphere a traditional trattoria feel, warm even when busy. Price comes up as a genuine trade off: one party of five ordering specials found the bill unitemised, averaging around thirty seven pounds a main with the cost unclear until it arrived, and another reviewer docked a star for the high price point even for a nice Italian meal. Despite that, most say they would return, with several noting they booked after repeated recommendations from others and left already planning another visit.

“Went for birthday pregig meal as a party of 5. Food was excellent and as we ordered main course specials the price was unknown until the bill came (unitemised). Worked out on average £37 per main. Just a heads up to watch when ordering specials. Lesson learned but would definitely go back.”

“This place! 👌 through a recommendation we headed here before a gig. From start to finnish the experience was outstanding. A very authentic yet classic Italian, the food was outstanding, lots of it. Great full menu, lovely staff and a very impressive waitress who knew all the menu off my heart. It was very busy and we where there early. Inexpensive for all we had. Loved it 😍😋”
