Amarone Glasgow is a modern Italian restaurant at 2 Nelson Mandela Place, just off Buchanan Street. The city centre room combines an animated restaurant atmosphere with a welcoming approach suited to lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. A terrace provides another way to enjoy the restaurant when Glasgow weather allows.
Pizza and pasta are central to the menu, supported by bistecche and other Italian favourites. Crisp pizza bases are prepared by the pizzaiolo, while Mediterranean vegetables roasting in the oven add colour and depth across the selection. Familiar flavours are treated with enough polish to suit both an everyday meal and a more celebratory visit.
Separate vegan and gluten free menus broaden the choice, and a children’s menu helps make group and family dining straightforward. Availability and preparation can change, so guests with allergies should request the current allergen guide from their server. Set menus at selected times offer another way to explore the kitchen’s Italian style.
Wine naturally plays an important part in the experience, with cocktails, beer and alcohol free drinks completing the bar selection. The open energy of the restaurant and its position near Glasgow’s main shopping streets make it particularly practical for meeting friends. Amarone Glasgow brings pizza, pasta and Italian hospitality together in a lively central setting.
Address: 2 Nelson Mandela Place, Glasgow G2 1BT, United Kingdom
