Glasgow restaurant
Closes at 9:45 pm on Saturday 1 November
Coia’s Cafe has been a Dennistoun fixture since 1928, when Carmine and Amalia Coia opened on Duke Street. Nicky and Ena expanded the menu in the 1950s; Alfredo and Antonia took over in the 1980s; Glasgow World notes Carlo Coia as the fourth generation now involved. A 2006 rebuild added neighbouring space for a deli, takeaway and a bigger homemade ice-cream counter. It is an all-day Italian café-restaurant: early breakfast (full Scottish, eggs Benedict, Italian baked eggs), pasta and pizza, seafood and meat mains, a chip-shop/deli counter, cocktails and matcha. Weekday lunch runs 12–3pm at £18.95 for two courses or £23.95 for three. Homemade Italian ice cream is the dessert people name most. Book online or call. Open from 7am Mon–Sat (10am Sun). On Duke Street in the East End — buses and Bellgrove station rather than the subway.

I love love love this place. Highly recommended. My wife and I stopped in to try the Coia’s Breakfast (a.k.a. the full Scottish), and I’m so glad we did. The atmosphere is wonderful—clean, modern, with almost an Italian vibe. The food was spectacular, the service was excellent, and the coffee options were just as impressive. Couldn’t have been happier. So glad we went.
Read on Google MapsThis is an amazing place to eat and enjoy delicious food and drinks in Glasgow . The staff are all so friendly and attentive , and nothing was any trouble . There were 12 of us tonight , and everyone said they will definitely be back for another visit. We had a one year old with us , and the staff were all amazing at chatting away to her and cleaning up her chaos ( more food on the floor than she ate) 🙈 We also forgot my daughters birthday cake and this was all sorted for us on the night . Thank you so much to you all tonight .
