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
Reviewers most often point to the tapas-style pasta and sharing plates, called a decent size and delicious for lunch dates and business lunches. Close behind are the pizza and penne pasta enjoyed at a large office Christmas dinner, the fish pasta, bruschetta and risotto served with generous Parmesan, and a grilled salmon one colleague praised. Many describe a lovely atmosphere, friendly service and fair value, with a birthday dinner and a family dinner among the occasions mentioned. The criticism is narrower but specific. One reviewer found the beer not cold, called the sparkling wine on tap a waste of money, said the pasta tasted like Barilla with a better sauce, and felt the servers did not seem to care. Another thought the cocktails and mocktails could have been better and saw stressed staff in a crowded, narrow room during the Christmas rush, though the food still arrived hot.

The venue is pretty and has a lot of different seating options for all group sizes from what I could see they also had good looking dessert options :))”

“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.”
