Il Pastaio

Il Pastaio offers a genuine Italian dining experience in the heart of Glasgow City Centre, led by the multi-award-winning head chef, Otello Calvert (also known as Tagliotello), who continuously brings fresh ideas and flavours to the restaurant.

The venue specialises in authentic and traditional freshly made pasta dishes, alongside antipasti and desserts. They also offer cocktails, Italian wines, and a seasonally changing menu focused on delivering the best flavours of Italy.

Not only is the pasta made fresh daily, but the sauces are also made from scratch with ingredients sourced from either local producers or imported from Italy's best suppliers. This attention to detail elevates pasta dishes like the spinaci e ricotta and gorgonzola with bucatini to a whole new level. You also can't go wrong with their antipasti from the creamy buffalo burrata served with homemade pesto or even the porchetta with herb gremolata.

Il Pastaio takes pride in its sourcing, whether its by naming their bakers, cheese suppliers, and regions that ingredients and recipes come from. Whether you're planning a romantic date, catching up with a friend, or celebrating a birthday with a large group, Il Pastaio has something to suit every occasion.
