Customer Review Summary

Pizza draws the most mentions at La Fiorentina, with the Parma ham pizza described as loaded with toppings and another reviewer calling their pizza a taste sensation. Close behind are the starters: the bruschetta funghi, the meatballs and a homemade arancini that reminded one diner of Sicily. The sea bass and steak also get praise, and one coeliac diner was impressed that an entire menu was available to them. Service is repeatedly called friendly and attentive but not overbearing, and portions are described as large for the price, with a takeaway box offered for leftovers. Reviewers also mention being happy with the house red. Complaints are few and specific: the tiramisu was not fresh, the pasta plates were only okay, and one diner found the chicken too dry. One reviewer says the corner location has little ambiance. Several describe returning visits, and one notes the bill was very reasonable after a large lunch of arancini and penne carbonara.

    “Beautiful, excellent services and very competitive prices. Had the sea bass as a main - the salad dressing was so nice, could of had salad on it own - but as a meal was absolutely beautiful 😋”

    “This place is awesome! Great service, delicious food, fantastic with kids, good value!! We were staying nearby at Premiere Inn Glasgow Quays and were keen to get out for dinner. This place is a 15 minute walk from the Glasgow science centre. It was wonderful! Highly recommended if you are area - Five big shiny stars!”

    “We went along to celebrate one of our colleagues retiring from our garage. We were greeted after a few minutes and seated at table 18. The lunch menu was already on the tables. I have arancini to start with. The portion is large for a lunch time. It was homemade and very tasty (like being back in Sicily) again. I had the penne carbonara in an attempt to save my shirt from the spaghetti version. The food was all very tasty with large portions for lunch time. The staff were attentive but not overbearing. The bill was very reasonable. This is my 3rd or 4th time visiting. Thank you very much.”

    “We visited this place recently for a works dinner, I'd never heard of it before but I'll definitely be back. The staff were excellent, attentive but not overbearing, and made the experience great. The food was incredible. I went for the meatballs to start and I think they are the best I've ever tasted. I then had pizza for my main course and again another taste sensation. I'd recommend the house red too, really enjoyed that.”
