O Sole Mio

O Sole Mio has been serving quality Italian cuisine to Glaswegians for over 50 years. Established in 1965 the restaurant has undergone something of a transformation in recent years while still retaining the high standards that have made it a landmark on the Glasgow restaurant scene.

Current proprietor, Djamel Benouari, who has a wealth of experience in the catering and hospitality industry, having managed The Art House Hotel and Barca in Prince's Square for many years, has used his superior expertise to transform O Sole Mio into one of the trendiest, modern and chic Italian restaurants in town.The newly refurbished restaurant and bar are supremely designed with modern booths and tables, fashioned in sultry, sensuous colours.

At O'Sole Mio it's all about the quality of the ingredients. We pride ourselves on using the freshest seasonal vegetables and fine cuts of Scottish meat, as well as the best seafood that Scotland has to offer. Our menus have been designed to offer quality, value and that essential ingredient: authenticity.

As a professional restaurant critic, I am always looking out for the best places to eat and drink, for work and pleasure. Last week I was delighted to find this charming Ristorante - seriously fine food matched by a warm atmosphere - on my way to Glasgow Theatre Royal. Well the name does mean My Sunshine, from the famous Neapolitan song written in 1898.
