Went on a quiet Wednesday evening. Really enjoyed the food that was had especially the desserts. Bruchetta was fantastic and pasta was cooked perfectly. I just wished the service time was a bit more swift but overall dining experience was still very pleasant.

Overview
Sandro’s is a family-run Italian on Argyle Street in Finnieston, directly opposite Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, in the unit that used to be Farina. Owner Alessandro Disanto opened it around the end of November 2024. He previously worked at the Mozza pizza chain, and he says the restaurant uses the same pizza dough Mozza did. The menu centres on wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza and traditional pasta, with dishes such as carbonara made with egg yolk and beef ragu rigatoni. There is also a lunch menu with bruschetta and baked-egg dishes. TripAdvisor lists a price range of about £7 to £25. Reviewers often mention friendly service and say it is a convenient stop before or after the museum. Several reviews describe it as welcoming to families with young children, and some praise good value on the children’s food. Delivery and collection run daily from 12pm to 9pm.

The Chicken Milanese was perfectly golden and crisp, the pasta had a proper rich tomato taste but the real highlight was the dessert. Warm Nutella doughnut stuffed with ice cream, melting into chocolate drizzle. ridiculous. Genuinely one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Read on Google MapsWe tried their lunch menu and they have some very lovely tasty options, especially the bruschetta with poached eggs! We also enjoyed a baked eggs dish with Italian sausage. The place is pretty inside and the staff are friendly. You can sit by the window overlooking Kelvingrove Gallery, beautiful.
Read on Google MapsA Slice of Italy in Glasgow – Simply Outstanding! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sandro’s Pizzeria in Glasgow, and what an experience it was! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine Italian hospitality, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pizza. Crafted with top-quality ingredients, the base was light, airy, and perfectly crispy—thanks to a 48-hour fermentation process that made all the difference. Every bite was a burst of flavor, with a balance of textures that was simply divine. It’s clear that passion and expertise go into every pizza here. But the delights didn’t stop there. I also indulged in their mille-feuille, a masterpiece of delicate layers and velvety custard. The pastry was flaky, the cream was rich and smooth, and it was evident that this dessert was made with true artistry. To top it all off, the coffee was the real deal—an authentic Italian espresso that transported me straight to a café in Naples. The service was swift and attentive, and the cozy, stylish ambiance made me feel right at home. Sandro’s is more than just a pizzeria; it’s a little piece of Italy in the heart of Glasgow. Whether you’re craving a perfect pizza, a decadent dessert, or just a great cup of coffee, this place delivers on every level. I can’t wait to return—highly recommended!
Read on Google MapsStandard pizza place with a stone oven. The flavors were fine but nothing special, and ingredients didn’t feel particularly high quality. Decent for a quick bite, but nothing to go out of the way for.
