Established since 1989, La Fiorentina is currently enjoying 20 years in the business of providing quality Italian food in the Southside of Glasgow. Over the years, this snug Trattoria has become quite an institution and lured by the traditional setting, family atmosphere and wholesome dishes, customers continue to flow through the doors.
La Fiorentina is a great restaurant for families with young children, couples and groups with its relaxed, cosy ambience and swift, courteous service. Set menus include seasonal saver menus, special two course business lunches and early evening two course dinners, as well as the a la carte menu.
Starters at La Fiorentina
A perennial favourite on the menu of any Italian restaurant has to be garlic mushrooms and this restaurant serves them to perfection. Stuffed with a delicious mixture of cheese, onions, herbs and finely chopped ham with a generous helping of superbly garlicky mayonnaise, this is a rich, filling choice so choose main courses wisely! The array of starters also includes lighter options including bruschetta, mussels in white wine and that Italian staple, mozzarella, tomato and basil salad.
Classic Italian Dishes to Suit Everyone
No diner will feel deprived of choice when faced with the variety of pasta, pizza, fish and meat dishes on offer. The lasagna, a tantalising combination of tangy bolognaise sauce and creamy bechemel sauce nestling between sheets of pasta, needs no further introduction: it is traditional hearty, comforting Italian cuisine at its best. Seafood Linguine, a winning combination of mussels, squid and crab meat piled on pasta in a tomato sauce, is a treat for seafood lovers but could benefit from a dash of chilli in the sauce to add a little piquancy to the overall flavour.
There is no room for debate when it comes to dessert! Order strawberry mess or a classic tiramisu –
both are sinfully creamy and sugary but utterly irresistable and guaranteed to satisfy those who crave something sweet after a meal! Lighter options include cassis royale which provides a refreshing conclusion to the meal and is especially good after steak or other meat dishes.
La Fiorentina is the perfect venue for celebrations, family get-togethers or just dropping in for a bit to eat - relax in the comfortable surroundings, enjoy your meal and plan your return visit before you leave!
