From start to finish, our experience at La Vita Piccolino e Vino was nothing short of horrific. We were greeted at the door by a grumpy waiter who reluctantly showed us to a table after a 5 minute wait. We were given a table in an extremely cramped space next to the kitchen window despite there being other, more spacious tables available. Once the drinks order was out of the way, we waited 10 minutes for our food order to be taken. As a starter, we ordered bread and olives to share but were left waiting for half an hour, probably more, for the starter alone. The restaurant was quite busy, but half an hour for a bit of bread, olives and dips is ridiculous. While we were waiting for the food to arrive, we noticed that the kitchen was infested with flies. Through the kitchen window next to where I was sitting there was an uncovered box of olives on which flies were constantly landing. Regardless, we attempted to put this poor hygiene issue aside so we could enjoy our meal. When the starter eventually came we were given a couple of slices of brick hard and badly burnt bread, olives which were so loaded with garlic oil that you couldn't taste them and trays of balsamic and olive oil. The balsamic vinegar tasted off. Italian food isn't supposed to be loaded with garlic, this signifies that what you're getting is inauthentic – garlic is to be used sparingly, if at all, as a seasoning for olives. When the waiter came over, he asked us why we weren't eating the olives. When I explained to him, he gave me a funny look and shrugged his shoulders. The main course took an extra 15 minutes to arrive after we'd finished the starter ridiculous. I ordered the Farfalle Verde, and my mum ordered the Spaghetti Con Capesante scallops. When it eventually arrived, my dish looked like it had spent the whole 15 minutes lying under a heat lamp as the tagliatelle was brick hard at the top and the sauce was starting to congeal. As for the taste, it wasn't bad but, again, the abundance of garlic drowned out the other more subtle flavours that you'd expect from an authentic, well-seasoned pasta dish. As for my mum's dish, garlic was all we could taste. The only positive thing about this meal was that the manager was kind enough to deduct the starter from the bill. Otherwise, this was an absolute disaster: taking together the indifferent attitude of the staff, the fly infestation, the burnt bread, the 'if in doubt add more garlic' approach to cooking, and the overall presentation – hands down the worst Italian meal we've ever had. In fact, you'd be better off going to Toni Macaroni. After reading other reviews on TripAdvisor, it's come to my attention that others have also raised serious hygiene concerns – one couple had bugs crawling all over their food! Another found a disgusting looking creature in their food. This is a matter for environmental health. P.S. I can also recall a waitress being shouted at and taking abuse from one of the chefs. This is unacceptable behaviour and indicates a toxic work environment.
Amazing food. Went for the first time. Will definitely go back. Absolute quality.
A genuine Italian restaurant in the Newton Mearns neighbourhood. Glasgow has a fabulous Italian food heritage and so much choice. La Vita is part of a family owned group of highly regarded family friendly restaurants. Family have moved to the locality so when we are up from Yorkshire I m sure La Vita will be on the list again Food: 5/5
Roast beef lunch was tender and tasty. Not so the Yorkshire pudding which was neither.
Lovely service, and a very busy place. Disappointing food though. Carbonara lacked flavour and was so hot it was clearly microwaved. Pizza was ok, but not as good as I'd hoped. More like a family chain place than a quality restaurant.
Piccolinos really need to up their game when it comes to availability of vegan friendly food. Was there as a party of 6 last night. When I asked the older slightly rude waiter what vegan main course choices they had as I couldn't see any at all on the menu, he shrugged his shoulders and said the kitchen would make me a bowl of pasta with some of their pizza base sauce and some vegetables...Really?! That is something I would make myself as a super quick mid week meal at home, not something that is in any way a treat to have at a restaurant. I asked if they had vegan cheese for pizzas which they could keep in freezer and use when requested so would be very little hassle for them which they didn't. Would suggest La Vita Piccolino e Vino takes a look at other local Italian restaurants like Battlefield Rest which has numerous vegan choices including vegan pizzas and ice cream on the menu. I had a better choice of vegan friendly food when I was in Italy in the summer!!

I absolutely love this restaurant. Every time I have been I think 4 it has been amazing. Food is delicious, staff are lovely, quick service and wide variety menu. Not to mention the decor and atmosphere. I highly recommend the selection of pizzas and Sanpelligreno. Best restaurant I have ever been to. Well done guys. Food: 5/5
sat at a table with my partner and proceeded to order, food came fairly quick and as soon as our starter plates had been taken away we were then asked to move tables. we weren’t happy with this. our mains then came out which were mediocre, I then proceeded to watch the bar women open a carton of orange juice with her teeth then sneeze into her hand and plop a lemon into a glass of water with the same snotty hand. I will not come back here as this place is a health hazard. staff are so so so rude for no reason, as an 18year old I think I should be treated like an adult not a inconvenience.
