Piccolo Mondo

Authentic Italian in downtown Glasgow. They took our party quickly on a busy night without a reservation. The service was attentive through a group effort. The food was delicious and truly authentic. The minestrone soup was perfect. Fresh vegetables, served hot, with just the right amount of salt. The slices of haggis and black pudding was surprisingly tasty for my first time. Don’t ask what it is made of, just try it and you will find an unusual, but pleasant flavor and texture. The medallion of veal fillet alla Milanese was a tender, hearty portion of veal pounded thin, coated in light breading, and served hot. Delicious from the first bite to the last. The table next to me ordered the lyonnaise potatoes and they looked so good I had to order them as well. They were superb and tasted as good as they looked. Welcoming, charming place with more than reasonable pricing especially on the alcohol. Must visit if you like Italian.

We arrived at the restaurant for a team lunch on a week day with an hour or so to eat The restaurant was very busy with a lot of large tables of groups which added to the atmosphere We were a small group of 5 We all had 2 courses from the lunch menu which is good value I had the stuffed mushrooms and pasta del casa Good Portions without leaving feeling stuffed I'd recommend for a nice work lunch

One of the rare places to know how to properly select and cook meat! As a Frenchman living in Scotland, this is not easy to find and deserves a recommendation! Adding that the atmosphere is nice and the service friendly & excellent. Yes it is slightly more expensive than average (we spent £100 for 2 adults 2 kids, 4 drinks + 4 mains + 4 desserts, but it was worth it! Beyond the meat, the pasta Della casa was great, and the desserts top notch! (Tiramisú and apple pie with ice cream)
