Glasgow restaurant
Barolo Italian Bar & Kitchen is at 92–94 Mitchell Street, Glasgow G1 3NQ (0141 221 0971; info@barologrill.co.uk; barologrill.co.uk). It is part of Di Maggio’s Restaurant Group (DRG), whose sister spots nearby include Amarone, Di Maggio’s, The Citizen, Anchor Line and Atlantic Brasserie. The official site and DRG press place it on the same Mitchell Street floor that opened in 1970 as L’Ariosto—often described as Glasgow’s first Italian restaurant, known for dinner dances and tableside flambé into the 2000s. DRG took the site over in 2008 (first as Barolo Grill); after a Covid-era refurb it reopened in mid-September 2020 simply as Barolo, with Piedmont-inspired interiors (exposed glazed cupola, marble, brass, leather) and a Northern Italian menu of cicchetti, fresh pasta, pizza, grills and cocktails. Published hours on the site footer are Monday–Friday 8am–10pm, Saturday 9am–11pm and Sunday 9am–10pm (breakfast from 8am weekdays / 9am weekends). Booking is recommended, especially Friday and Saturday; walk-ins are taken where possible, with no waiting list. Online booking is capped at 10; larger parties and the Sophia Loren private room (up to about 35–40) go through groups@barologrill.co.uk or 0141 248 1434. Deposits are non-refundable; tables are held 15 minutes if you are late. Dogs are not allowed; dress code is no football colours; children are welcome with a children’s menu. Diners can ask for an NCP Mitchell Street parking pass—up to 5 hours for £5.50. Glasgow Live (Oct 2020) and Scottish Field both reviewed the post-refurb room favourably for service, presentation and special-occasion Italian cooking; Glasgow Central is about a 3–5 minute walk.
The service was great all the staff we encountered were very friendly and professional and couldn't be more helpful. We went on a Saturday night and booked our table for six o'clock. It was extremely busy so maybe book in advance. The food was lovely arrived quickly and presented beautifully and reasonably priced. Drinks were expensive but inline with the rest of the city centre. We will definitely be back.
Read on Google MapsAn Italian Restaurant with very tasteful food, a good variety of options. We were very well attended, all the staff was kind and very nice! The place was somewhat noisy, but I don't mind.
Read on Google MapsBreakfast was lovely and relaxed. The poached eggs on the avocado and chilli were overcooked and not runny, but the food was still good quality and tasty. Will be back to do again.
Read on Google MapsBarolo was a welcome sight on a wet day for two weary Australians . The staff were very welcoming , and we just wanted a light lunch , some tea and a hot chocolate drink . I ordered minestrone soup with bread and my partner had a prawn entree dish . Both were hot tasty and filling . The restaurant is beautiful inside and tastefully decorated . I wish we had more time in Glasgow I would have returned for an evening meal . Thank you to the staff 👌
