Italian restaurants dominate Glasgow’s restaurant scene but La Fiorentina does something a little different. Using a range of Mediterranean influences (with an emphasis on Tuscany) and fresh Scottish ingredients like beef, lamb and veal the food doesn’t stop with the usual pasta and pizza. Try acquacotta (a Florentine onion soup), the antipasti platter or something from the fantastic range of seafood. The desserts are also special; there’s a cheesecake of the week and La Fiorentina’s house speciality gateau, an extravaganza of chocolate, Marsala, meringue and maple syrup. Matching the diversity of the food, there’s a range of menus available, like pre-theatre and three courses as well as different dining areas to choose from. Pick from the less formal Little Tuscany Balcony or the Bay, a private dining room, perfect for private hire or a romantic meal. The surroundings reflect the authenticity of the food, with a warm and intimate atmosphere.
