The Glasgow-based family-run group behind two La Vita Pizzeria, Piccolino E Vino and Spuntini, has opened a fifth restaurant, Spuntini on Gordon Street.
Launches by Mario Arcari and his father, Spuntini Gordon Street is an elegant new Italian restaurant oozing with old school charm and hospitality, that keeps the family ethos of simple, quality cooking and ingredients, combined with the kind of service that will make customers return again and again.
Located in the centre of Glasgow’s busy shopping district, the 125 cover restaurant over two floors offers a unique twist on contemporary dining with an impressive cocktail bar married to the elegant family Italian restaurant.
Spuntini on Gordon Street has created a seasonal menu that showcases a contemporary approach to traditional and authentic Italian flavours and combinations. The menu is artfully designed to cater to many palates with a generous selection of fresh pasta and pizza, as well as seafood, meats, small and sharing plates or Italian tapas.
Dishes on the menu include ‘Anatra Al Nero’ (Duck served with Black Pudding in Red Wine Jus), Alette di Pollo (Chicken Wings oven roasted, tossed with sticky sweet sauce and jalapeño peppers), Italian Scotch Eggs, Wood Burning Pizza and sharing bowls of different varieties of traditional Pasta.
Mario Arcari said, “Our Spuntini brand is already one of the most popular spots for romantic dining and get togethers in Glasgow since it opened its doors on Byres Road in 2008. The new addition to the family business on Gordon Street offers a family friendly environment with a big emphasis on service and quality of produce allowing our customers a restaurant and bar experience where they can appreciate and indulge in the flavours of our most famous regions in Italy.”
With awards for ‘Best Italian Restaurant in Glasgow’ and ‘Best Family Restaurant’ already under their belt, diners at the groups latest project can also expect a new menu of specials alongside its traditional mix of Italian pasta and small plate classics with the addition of a new cocktail and Italian wine list. The restaurant has also launched a specialist gin and whisky menu all served from the sophisticated central bar at the heart of the venue.
Spuntini Gordon Street expects to dominate the Italian restaurant market in Glasgow City Centre. The highly skilled team of 25 staff can also cater for a wide range of events from private dining and drinks receptions.
