About La Vita Spuntini City Centre
On Gordon St in Glasgow, La Vita Spuntini City Centre serves Italian dishes built for sharing, in keeping with the spuntini approach of ordering several plates across a table. The menu runs from pizza and risotto to grilled salmon, with penne pasta, fish pasta, and a tapas pasta served in portions of two among the options. Sparkling wine is poured on tap alongside the food. Seating is arranged across multiple options suited to different group sizes, though the room can feel narrow to move through when busy. Waiters and waitresses handle table service, and lunch deals run until 6:30pm. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations.

Customer Review Summary
Pasta dishes draw the most praise, from the tapas pasta portions diners call delicious to the fish pasta and penne pasta singled out during a busy office Christmas dinner. Close behind, reviewers highlight the "Go Jimmy Style" pizza with spicy beef and sausage, along with bruschetta, risotto, and a grilled salmon one diner's colleague praised. Several describe the atmosphere as lovely and the staff as attentive and friendly, especially during lunch deals and tapas lunch dates reviewers call reasonably priced. One reviewer, visiting during a crowded office Christmas party of over thirty guests, found staff visibly stressed by the crowd, though food still arrived hot despite the numbers. Another reviewer found the service the "weirdest part" of their visit, citing warm beer and calling the sparkling wine on tap a waste of money.

“Beer should be served cold... however... it wasn't an option... I tried their sparkling wine on tap... what a waste of money... please avoid... Food was ok... taste like Barila pasta with some better sauce... Service was the weirdest part... doesn't look like they care about the customers... I would love to go again and try a different server/dish ... but I got too many red flags... Good luck on the business and I hope you can improve your service and beer temperature.”
