Amazing Italian deli/restaurant across the road. It would be crazy to not pop in for a visit. It can be difficult to get a table because the place is so popular. The whole menu is also available to take away at slightly cheaper prices so if it’s packed then just choose what you fancy and bring it back to the flat to eat.

Award-winning fine dining restaurant in Dennistoun that opened last year. Set within an Edwardian townhouse, it has been expertly renovated and is a beautiful place to spend an evening – sophisticated but comfortable. The chefs are some of Scotland’s best, the menu is creative, artistic and very well devised. It’s quite expensive – up to £25 for a main course – but really feels like a treat.
