We've been here before and haven't been disappointed, tonight was no exception. We went for the Celebration deal, which gives you an aperitif each,, 3 course meal from a fairly extensive menu, a bottle of wine, coffee and mints, and a liqueur each, for £55 for a couple. Food was nice as always (if not the most adventurous menu), tasty... More

I recently had a family meal for my birthday. The waiting staff couldn't have been friendlier and were very accommodating since we had a very grumpy 2 year old with us. The food was also delicious making the whole afternoon a really memorable and enjoyable experience!

Excellent deal - 3 courses plus aperitif and digestif for £17.50 - and very good food, but there the praise ends. Phony Italian smarm, conveyor belt atmosphere. Tried to ask a simple question about how long we had before we would need to vacate the table, and got so many versions of a smart answer I was on the point... More

Booked a table for 8pm on Saturday. Had to wait (while being squashed near the door). After about 10 minutes of this were given a table. Ordered 2 fillet steaks, waited half a hour, then were served with my parter's steak covered in pepper sauce, (he had asked for a plain one). On complaining were told we could order another... More

If you stay at Hotel Indigo this is just round the corner and it is the cheapest place we ate at but we found the service a bit tardy and the food, while good, was not what years of traveling in Italy lets me call authentic Italian. In summary: a cheap adequate meal

We are disappointed that this is the way you feel, as this is a family run business and we are from Tuscany , depends on which region in Italy you have been as every region is different and we do have the restaurant as authentic as the Tuscan style as possible. More

Were looking for something to eat whilst in Glasgow and loaded up TripAdvisor and came across Piccolo Mondo and most definitely will return! The service was really good and not intrusive and there were lots of things that were on the menu that we'd like to try, so definitely will return in the future!

Dined here with my husband recently - great range of menus, all great value and many including drinks, beautiful surroundings, attentive but unobtrusive service. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. I had the tuscan lamb main course, which was really tasty.
