Quite possible the best Italian restaurant in Glasgow and it’s a 10 minute walk from the Hydro, perfect for a pre-show meal.The interior is tasteful and modern, and they have seating upstairs looking over Argyll Street, great for people watching.It’s a traditional Italian with a twist. Lasagna with an 8 hr slow cooked beef shin made it the best Lasagna i have ever tasted! They also have this black activated charcoal pizza that i want to try.Starters: Calamari in San Marzano Sugo & BruschettaMains: Enjoi a Lasagna & Gli Spaghetti Allo ScoglioDessert: Tiramisu & Il Cremoso Alla ZuccaKids, King Prawn, tomato spaghetti.We loved our time here, hearing the staff all converse in Italian added to the authentic experience.We were invited here today, but we will be bringing our friends and family back here soon. See our channel, The Olive Tree Family for the full video on IG, TikTok, and Facebook.

Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant, with excellent staff (with real Italian flair), where every dish is true to it's Italian roots: fresh, expertly made and loads of flavour without frills. For instance, the squid was cooked to perfection, and the pistachio lava cake is just out of this world. A true gem, and one of the best Italian restaurants in Glasgow and beyond!

Everyone was so kind and fun. We had conversations with the waitstaff and owner. They made us feel like we were family. The food was outstanding! My friends and I hiked over 80 miles and ate at many restaurants but we unanimously agreed that this was the best.

Went for pre-gig dinner at the Hyrdo(5 minutes away). Incredibly friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and beautifully decorated. My friend is gluten/wheat intolerant and they could do any of the pasta dishes, except the lasagne, gf for them. Pizzas have activated black charcoal, hence the colour, and it was so tasty.

The place itself has a very warm, cozy and authentic atmosphere. Only Italians work there. The manager or owner is very attentive, so is most of the staff. It’s busy for a reason but it’s very sad that for that reason, the experience was sad for me. I can understand how much pressure it is to give 100% service while it’s this busy. However, I was placed at the bar since I was on my own and they didn’t had anymore seats. I was asked before and I agreed so. Little did I know that this was a seat that was just randomly instead also a full on experience. I felt that I didn’t get the service as you’d be expecting (the same as table). 1) all customers who were waiting were sitting beside, infront and behind me. It was SO suffocating. Everyone was just waiting around me and the staff did not realized how bad that would be for me. I was litterlysqueezed with all those ppl with all their jackets on while I was taking myself out for a dinner and having a special time as a solo traveller. My heart bumped and I needed to go outside because I didn’t feel well. I told one of the staff and also that I rather not have all these ppl around me. The manager was soo nice and agreed. Then, another staff asked me to move my bags that I placed next to me for overcomming that ppl would sit with their wet jackets and their backs facing me (imagine me eating my food). I said that I didn’t want to and it would be too small for me. He then suggested me to move more to the door in front of all the sugar and different pots. 1) he did not realized before how bad of an experience this would be for me and 2) while realizing I did not feel well, he asked me to MOVE to what was like a corner with stuff for tables….. how dare he! And got into discussion that people needed to be seated while waiting. Ehmm yes? But maybe not like this? And what about me? I at least expected some apology, not a “joke” once the people left that I have all the space in the world now……..My evening was supposed to be special for me but was ruined by this.

Staff were very attentive to me! I was the first in the restaurant for their evening service and they catered to me so well. Food was tasty! I ate upstairs in a quieter part of the restaurant - downstairs definitely had a better atmosphere but the upstairs section was still lovely. I came here for a quick meal before a concert at the Hydro. I would eat here again
