O Sole Mio

Places To Eat in Glasgow - O Sole Mio 

Located at 32 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 1HG
 

Italian themed restaurant located in Glasgow city centre. Has a good variety of Italian food and standard drinks menu you would expect to see.

I popped in here on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago, along with five other people and despite having no reservation we were seated immediately. 

My friend thought we might not get seated or we would have to wait as the restaurant is usually really busy and we should just pop in on the off chance to see but we were lucky that day.  

For convenience though and just in case you are not as lucky as we were I would recommend booking a table in advance. Bookings can be done online via their website which I have given below:

Menus are also available on the website so you can see what’s on offer before you go, helpful in case you know anyone who’s a particularly fussy eater.

The food was really good and everyone enjoyed their meal. What I especially liked was that they offered a special lunch time menu on a Saturday afternoon which is really quite unusual. Most restaurants only offer special lunch time menus mid-week and Fridays/Saturdays are full price only as these are the busiest days. Service was really good also.

 

I ordered chicken and potatoes and to drink I had orange juice and lemonade. Everyone else ordered pizza with various toppings along with orange juice and lemonade or coke. Within the lunch menu pizza was available with up to any two toppings of your choice. Our meal and our six soft drinks in total came to

£55 so it was under £10 each for everyone (once we had added a tip it only cost us about £11 each so still really cheap).

I would definitely visit here again, excellent choice for Italian in Glasgow city centre. Is easily accessible by public transport as is only a 5 minute walk from Buchanan Street underground station and there are a huge number of bus stops in the surrounding area.

Established in 2003 this New York themed restaurant is opened 7 days a week 8am till 10pm. Offering various American themed dishes to suite all tastes the breakfast menu and burgers are especially good.

I have eaten at all the above restaurants and based on my own experiences I would recommend them as I loved the food and was happy with the service I received. I still regularly visit the majority of the places on this list as I love food but hate washing dishes so I enjoy having food cooked for me, even if my waist line doesn’t enjoy it quite as much.

Hope you found some of my recommendations helpful.

Happy munching!
