Italian Restaurants in Glasgow, Scotland

Italian Restaurants in Glasgow, Scotland
Located on the River Clyde, Glasgow is Scotland's largest city. Once a rundown city, Glasgow is currently one of the most vibrant places in the United Kingdom. Active types can ride the Burnside Hill bike trail. Another option is to climb Ben Lomond or take a walk around Loch Tay. The more adventurous can paraglide from the summit of Tinto Hill, while the more timid can enjoy wonderful views over the city from Cathkin Braes Country Park or wander through Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. The city has boutique shops, museums and galleries, trendy cafes and restaurants, including several good options for Italian cuisine.

La Parmigiana

La Parmigiana has been serving the Glasgow public since 1978. Concentrating on authentic Italian food using fresh ingredients, the restaurant serves an extensive menu in an elegant atmosphere, yet prices are inexpensive.

All menus also include a large selection of pastas, soups, salads, meat, poultry and fish dishes. La Parmigiana serves lunch and dinner every day except Sunday. Diners can enjoy a lovely evening meal after an afternoon at Glasgow's Botanic Gardens.
