La Fiorentina's claim to be the premier Italian and Mediterranean restaurant in all of Glasgow is entirely justified - the restaurant prides itself on delivering quality food, with outstanding service to match, in an environment that is stylish and authentically Italian whilst in keeping with the Glaswegian aesthetic. From the moment you step into the charming European-style interior, you will be swept up in the warm and relaxing ambience that demonstrates a careful combination of Italian influence and Scottish sensibilities. Being the first restaurant to be presented two years in succession with the Evening Times - Restaurant of the Year' award is a testament to its quality.

Once you have chosen something from the mouth-watering menu, complemented by a fine wine from a superb selection, you'd be forgiven for thinking you're dining on the Italian Riviera, such is the power of La Fiorentina's carefully considered menu. The menu consists of various Euro-classic and new lifestyle Mediterranean dishes, as well as traditional and contemporary Florentine specialities.

Only the finest Scottish ingredients - including veal, seafood, Scotch beef and lamb, fresh vegetables and herbs - are used here, and, when cooked using authentic recipes from the Tuscany region, the result is a superb combination of cultural cuisine. The wide array of foreign names may initially appear daunting, but you can rest assured that you cannot go wrong whatever you choose: the selection ranges from savoury soup starters such as pappa al pomodoro (once known as the porridge of Tuscany) made with tasty tomatoes, to the more familiar Scottish smoked salmon served with homemade seafood terrine. Main courses provide a variety of pastas, pizzas and pollo (chicken) dishes topped off with classic desserts such as tiramisu or profiteroles.

Whether you are planning a quick business lunch or something a little more special, La Fiorentina offers a style of dining with an unrivalled level of flair and enthusiasm - guaranteed to match your needs and awaken your tastebuds.
