Restaurant Glasgow

Bang in the heart of Glasgow is the Italian Kitchen. With Italian restaurants 10 a penny in Glasgow the Italian Kitchen has some stiff competition. The prime location obviously has its advantages but if someone is looking for good food they could easily look further afield.

The Italian Kitchen’s menu is extensive covering all the classic dishes we are used to but with a pasta and meat menu to make even the most refrained water at the mouth.

The food is freshly prepared and was very delicious. I chose the Melanzane in Carrozza,
which is fried aubergines stacked with mozzarella, followed by the homemade meatballs in a tomato sauce. The starter was very nice indeed, although I am quite the fan of aubergine, regardless it was very fresh and not overly fried, a nice thin layer of breadcrumbs with a little crunch. The meatballs were, again, very nice; the sauce was very flavoursome with a heady mix of herbs making it all a little bit more interesting.

The restaurant itself is stylish but still remaining comfortably informal.

Overall the Italian Kitchen has stayed true to the great Italian chef, and from my short time in Glasgow it has been the best of all the Italian restaurants I have dined at.

Serving contemporary Scottish Cuisine  Cail Bruich is a refreshing alternative to all the gastro pubs and Italian restaurants swamping Glasgow’s streets.

The Great Western Road restaurant is the second Cail Bruich the family has opened the first being in the Bridge of Weir.

The menu is a beautiful mix of gourmet and traditional; serving traditional dishes with a nice twist veering away from the typical options we are used to seeing.

On the menu for myself was Ox Cheek Pie which was delicious, perfectly cooked and quite a surprise for someone usually quite timid in the culinary department. Similarly my dining partner stepped out of the box, so to speak, and thoroughly enjoyed her Pork Belly.

Overall Cail Bruich is a warm and welcoming restaurant that offers delicious versions of our traditional Scottish meals- in a country where all too often we are choosing other national foods over our own it is nice to find a restaurant that is proud of Scottish culinary offerings and serves them in style.
