Santa Lucia Merchant City Glasgow

We had our first visit here last evening and have to say if we stayed in Glasgow we would be here all of the time. I had put in a request for a quieter area if possible due to our daughter struggling with busy areas. They went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable and it made her evening to feel so special. The food was 10 out of 10 for all meals, the kids came out as soon as it was ready. Really the best evening.

What a lovely restaurant and quality Italian dining experience. My boyfriend and I had dinner here for our anniversary and it was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is lovely inside, service was tentative and friendly, and the food was impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed our food really felt like a truly authentic Italian experience. We would say it was the best pizza and pasta we’ve had in Glasgow 🍕🍝 will definitely be back and recommend highly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A really lovely Italian in central Glasgow. A charming atmosphere. Excellent service Delicious Italian food. I had a yummy bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, a linguine with more tomatoes, and a perfect tiramisu. Prices very reasonable. Good drink menu too. I will definitely return here when in Glasgow.

Struggling to see how this restaurant gets 5 stars for food, but they must have been having an off night when we visited. Restaurant is very nice inside and most of the staff were nice but the dishes we had did not reflect the ratings. We had the lasagne bites as a starter which were greasy and very bland. Then we had the meal below as a main, (not my pic but can't seem to find the dish on the online menu). This seafood meal was so salty. I tried my best not to return it as the waitress had recommended it and I did feel bad for her but I couldn't manage to keep eating it. I returned the meal with less than half eaten and ask the waitress to ask the chef to taste it and confirm it was far too salty. The chefs reply was it was fine and meant to be this salty as it was seafood !! I've eaten seafood dishes all over the world and this was salty on another level. We were offered a free coffee. Yes, a free cup of warm water in return for an unedible £25 main course. Wow! Waitress was lovely but management should have stepped in and dealt with this. Definitely won't be back or recommending to anyone.

One of the nicer Italian restaurants in Glasgow city centre. The decor and atmosphere is nice but not quite opulent enough to justify dressing up. Their food is well prepared and cooked and the portions are generous. The cocktails are really nice. Service is friendly, but slow. The toilets get a 6.9 in my book as they weren’t as well maintained as I’d like. Nonetheless, we had a good experience on the whole. The place is always busy so you need to book a table well in advance (eg a week or more) for a reasonable lunch or dinner slot.
