Villa Toscana is an Italian restaurant at 1080 Argyle Street in Finnieston. Established in 2006, it has become a familiar choice for both neighbourhood dining and meals before events at the nearby concert venues.
Antipasti such as bruschetta, arancini, mussels and burrata lead into a broad choice of pasta and risotto. Lasagne and carbonara sit beside seafood linguine, mushroom and truffle paccheri and other dishes that draw on different Italian regional traditions.
Pizza includes classics such as margherita and diavola as well as combinations with vegetables, Parma ham or Italian sausage. Veal, chicken, steak and grilled sea bass extend the main courses beyond pasta, and vegetarian dishes are available throughout the menu.
A children’s selection and special menus make the restaurant practical for families, concert goers and organised groups. Reservations are encouraged, particularly for larger parties, while Italian wine, coffee and desserts help turn a visit into a complete, unhurried meal.
Address: 1080 Argyle Street, Finnieston, Glasgow G3 8LY, Scotland
