  “After ending up in Glasgow running from power outages throughout northern Scotland our travels brought us to the Citizen M hotel. Why is any of this relevant? Well, out the door and 275’ down the street is Ristorante Pieno. Absolutely a gem in the theater district in the heart of Glasgow and home to the best meals Bridget and I had in the UK in a 14 day whirlwind trip. With no reservations and starving we walked into Ristorante Pieno and were welcomed with a warm smile an a choice of tables. Mo and Aphrodita took immediate care of us with menus and drinks. Questions were answered and suggestions made based on each of us narrowing down possibilities on the menu. Bridget had the TAGLIATELLE DELLA CASA £18.45 Our Head Chef's special dish! Tagliatelle tossed with crumbled Italian sausage, mixed peppers, cherry tomatoes, chilli, garlic and pesto in a creamy sauce And I had the SPAGHETTI FRUTTI DI MARE £20.95 Seafood medley of calamari, king prawns and mussels tossed with spaghetti. Choose your sauce: tomato basil or white wine and cream. The seafood was excellent but as usual Bridget won the day with her choice. On a cold wet windy day this restaurant was just what we needed. Absolutely the best meal I’ve ever had in the UK period and if you’re in Glasgow you must give them a try!!!!🍾🥂”

  “Booked in here before going to the theatre because it was across the road. Best decision ever! Walked in to a really warm welcome, all the staff were so busy but incredibly friendly. The restaurant was spotless and well presented. It felt like eating in someone's home to be honest. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I opted for the set pre theatre menu which is incredible value for money. I ordered a carbonara and a tiramisu for dessert. The carbonara was so fresh, it was piping hot when it arrived and a huge portion! The tiramisu I am still thinking about, I have been searching high and low for one that tastes as good as one I had in Italy a few years ago, safe to say I finally found it! It was unbelievable, I'm just sad I didn't manage to eat it all I was so full! Amazing drinks choices, great wine and cocktails! Cannot wait to come back and try some more things off the full menu!”

  “Staff were great. Place lovely and clean. Food was very nice. Particularly the mussels & the tiramisu. My ravioli was over cooked but still nice. We will definitely come back. Cosmopolitan cocktail nice too.”

  “Food was fresh and tasty. Staff are friendly and we were served promptly. Place was very busy but was a nice atmosphere and not too loud. The food was flying out the kitchen. Price was reasonable too. Only issue we encountered was we still had food on our plates but were asked by 3 different staff members if we had finished. I appreciate it was a very busy Friday night, but we had prebooked our table from 5:15pm to 7:15pm and had only been there just over an hour... so felt a little rushed out the door. All in all a great meal and would definitely come back!”

  “Excellent Italian restaurant, I would give 10 stars if it was possible. Super food, really friendly staff. Portions were generous, everything tasted original Italian, and it felt like we are really in itally. And we have been to Italy a few times. One of the best Italian spots in Glasgow . We were party of 4, I had mozzarella and tomato bruschetta , risotto fungi with chicken an vanila ice cream with amareto cherries. Loved the coffee machine. Every thing was so delicious,recommended☕”

  “Yum! Coeliac friendly with loads of gluten free options. I had the spaghetti bolognese but with GF penne for main - was a generous portion and really yum. GF bruschetta for entree which was tasteful but the bread was a little soggy. Small thing though! Really enjoyed my meal here. Pre theatre menu was 2 courses for £20-25 or so”

  “I booked this restaurant for myself, my wife and 2 children. The staff were very friendly and shared some nice interactions with my kids. The service was great and the food was easily a 10/10. I will be returning again when I return to the city on the 10th January. We look forward to seeing you.”

  “First class service with amazing food Dined in here on Friday night and it was fully booked. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The picture of the calzone does not do it justice, it was huge. The service was outstanding. Was greeted both going in and coming out which was such a simple but personal gesture. Doing a list of special cocktails tying in with the theme of Hamilton the musical which is on across the road in the theatre royal. A lovely way to start your night”
