ORO Italian is a contemporary Italian restaurant at 85 Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands, Glasgow. The polished dining room brings a celebratory feel to the neighbourhood while remaining suitable for relaxed lunches, family meals and evenings built around several courses.
The menu begins with Italian inspired antipasti and carefully prepared seafood, including dishes that make use of Scottish produce such as scallops. These starters can lead into pasta, risotto or a larger meat or fish main, depending on whether diners want a traditional sequence or a simpler meal.
Pizza is another central part of the kitchen, with classic combinations, fuller toppings and folded calzone prepared alongside the pasta selection. Familiar Italian sauces and cheeses appear throughout, while vegetarian dishes ensure there are options beyond the meat and seafood plates.
Wine, cocktails and desserts complete the restaurant experience and make ORO well suited to occasions as well as everyday dining. Recipes may use gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, fish and shellfish, so guests with allergies should consult the current menu and tell staff about their requirements before ordering.
