Overview
Cafe Zecchino is a long-running family cafe and chippy on Cumbernauld Road in Dennistoun. It has a sit-in cafe plus a takeaway counter and delivery. The menu is broad comfort food rather than strictly Italian: fish and chips (the most praised dish), pizza, homemade pasta, burgers, wraps, all-day breakfasts, toasties, milkshakes, ice cream, waffles and cakes. Reviewers keep mentioning big portions, low prices, friendly staff and a clean, spacious dining room with plenty of tables. It works for a cheap brunch, a family lunch or a fish supper. Some reviewers find the room dated, and a few recent takeaway reviews complain about cold food and rising prices.
Reviews
Surprised this place gets some negative reviews. We regularly get special fish suppers from Cafe Zecchino, and have done for years. We’ve never had a bad meal, or a better chippie anywhere else.
Read on Google MapsMost excellent pizza, and chips and curry sauce. Fast and friendly service. This is for the takeaway but I'm sure the restaurant is as good.
Read on Google MapsThe space was so old and you don’t feel its a warm and cozy feeling in the space you have, but people worked there were so friendly and nice the quality of food were okay and I’m not regret to be there .Im happy to try for one time.
Read on Google MapsSat in to enjoy some brunch at the weekend. Reasonably priced lunch time items and lots of choice. Within our group we had pancakes with bacon, chips and curry and toasties. Friendly service as always while sitting in.
