About O Sole Mio
O Sole Mio is an Italian restaurant on Bath St in Glasgow, cooking pizza dough by hand in a wood burning brick oven and seating diners in booth style seating. The black ink spaghetti with scallops appears among the recurring choices from the kitchen, alongside lobster ravioli. Starters run from bruschetta and minestrone soup to mussels, with garlic bread served alongside the pasta dishes and lasagna also on the menu. A lunch menu and a pre-theatre menu run alongside the main offering. Front-of-house staff seat guests at the table, and walk-ins are shown a seat, though the room gets busy at times. The bar makes its cocktails fresh rather than from pre-made mixers.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the lobster ravioli as a starter worth ordering, with the black ink spaghetti with scallops and gorgeous mussels also drawing praise. Pasta comes up often too, described as perfectly cooked and full of flavour, alongside a well-liked pre-theatre menu and a lunch menu several call a steal. Staff are consistently described as attentive, friendly and welcoming, with more than one reviewer noting they felt looked after rather than rushed, and fresh cocktails get a specific nod over premixed ones. Trendy decor and a relaxed, date-night-suited atmosphere recur, and several reviewers suggest booking ahead since it gets busy at lunch. One diner's lasagne was called "more reheated pub grub in quality" despite otherwise enjoying the mussels and pasta, a rare exception among reviews that otherwise repeatedly promise a return visit, with a couple of diners going back the very next night.

“My partner and i came in for food one night quite late, the service and food was excellent! Pricing was very affordable. We enjoyed it so much we came back again the following evening. 10/10 Recommend.”

“My wife and I popped into O Sole Mio for breakfast and ended up being pleasantly surprised when we both ordered pasta instead — and we’re so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious: perfectly cooked pasta, rich and comforting flavours, and served with warm garlic bread and plenty of cheese. It felt indulgent in the best possible way and was far better than we’d expected for an early visit. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had a lovely chat with an Irish waitress who was incredibly helpful and even gave us some great insights and recommendations for an upcoming trip we’re planning to Dublin , a really personal touch that made us feel looked after rather than rushed. A relaxed atmosphere, fantastic food, and warm, engaging service made this a standout visit. My wife and I will definitely be back, and we’d highly recommend O Sole Mio to anyone looking for great Italian food with equally great hospitality.”
