About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Piccolo Mondo restaurant in Glasgow has a special history. Forty five years ago, the Tuscan Pierotti family opened a restaurant called Piccolo Mondo, which was hugely popular and beloved. They then sold it and were involved in many other eateries here, including La Fiorentina. But they always regretted letting it go, and have now opened a new, upgraded Piccolo Mondo, a renaissance of an old dream. It’s a classically beautiful space in a former bank, with soaring vaulted ceilings, paintings, warm pale terra cotta walls, Tuscan red table linens, chandeliers and red velvet seating. The menu employs seasonal ingredients of the highest standard in creating delicate Euro classic and new Mediterranean dishes. The Pierotti family have a wealth of experience and pride in their establishment and it shows, from the superb service to the authentic recipes to the calm, pleasurable ambience.

    A lovely experience; staff took very good care of my folks and my wee niece and nephew. Perfect setting for a small family celebration. Thank you!

    Visit here often. Food and service is always fabulous. Can get a bit rowdy on a weekend but only because it's so popular.

    The Celebration menu is a reasonably good deal; something exceptional in Britain! The selection was good, the dishes were prepared and served well. The appetizers were particularly good, although the sirloin steak was cooked properly and tender, it was completely overpowered by the pepper sauce. The included wine had some excellent options, this fact alone made it worth going. My only comment was that we felt rushed to order. I think if we were locals, and knew what we were looking at, it would not have been an issue, but for first time patrons, it was a little too quick. However, all the staff were friendly, and we would go back again.

    So glad we found this restaurant just past Central Station. Waiters were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Extensive wine list which was reasonably priced.

    Lovely, well established restaurant - always busy (you should make a reservation) - fairly varied menu with lunch and dinner 2/3 course inclusive. Large size starter, my main wasn't particularly great (pork stroganof) but the others were all good. Recommended !

    Very understated frontage on Argyle street, but a very pleasant inside, with a conservative and classical internal decor that works very nicely with the restaurant menu and service. The menu is extensive and carries a very nice wine list. The food itself is beautifully presented, well cooked, with a pleasing blend of aromas and textures that reminded me of several great dinners in Florence. The service is attentive, but not over-bearing, perfectly suited for my own preferences and my wish to focus exclusively on my partner. I recommend the steak Diane.
