Kicked off our corporate Christmas day out in Italian Cafe in the beautiful Merchant City. Great food and service, all the Italian classics with a festive twist! Will certainly be back for luncheon and/or supper. The girls drank so many of the delicious cocktails it's amazing they managed to extricate themselves from the venue! Great place.

Nice ambience, staff very friendly. Cocktails to die for. Food good but minestrone soup was a but watery although tasted good.
Read on Google MapsI get that accidents happen but it is how we deal with them that counts. After spilling a glass of red wine on my friends cream trousers, the female who dealt with this at the end could do with some retraining! We spent almost £500 on lunch for 6 the best she could offer without an apology was to.pay for the trousers my friend had to purchase to get home. Refused to give her name and then said she was the owner. When I explained I had worked with public all my life and could not understand her reaction she replied good for you! Not really surprised that the restaurant was not full as her attitude would certainly not encourage return trade. When I suggested the incident had put a damper on our afternoon out her reply was well you stayed for 5 hours. We actually stayed for 4 and once again we spent a lot of money in this establishment. Really sad to write this poor review as the food was pretty good but........
Read on Google MapsBeautiful food. Cocktails were also very good. Service was 15/10. We ordered started to share between two people and it was so filling we didn’t even want a main. Would definitely be coming back. The king scallops is a must! So big so soft and super tasty!
Read on Google MapsFood - pate and bruschetta were great. Haddock was meh (as to be expected) but the lasagne was unfortunately the worst I’ve had ever - way too salty. Service - took quite while for our waitress to return after I told her I needed literally 1 minute. I had to follow up as she may have been in a huff (but not sure - just a vibe) No one checked/asked to see how our food was at any point. But biggest tip - avoid the lasagne!
