Cafe Gandolfi - Glasgow United Kingdom

Back again, and what a great menu. We're not vegetarians, but the vegetarian options sounded so appealing that we went for them with the house recommendation on wine. Great food, great service and a fine wee bar upstairs for that pre-dinner aperitif. Thoroughly recommended.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was excellent. I found the food variable. Of the trio of pates, we found the chicken liver pate very dry but the other two were OK. The toast that came with it was lovely, the best part really but it was a tiny portion, just one very thin slice quartered, although another slice was produced very quickly when we asked for more, it still wasn't much especially as we'd said it was a shared starter. My husband enjoyed his pastrami open sandwich. My goat's cheese salad wasn't a success. The cheese was very dry, sharp and acidic and I could only eat a small portion of it. I would go again but choose something else from the menu. We're going to try Gandolfi Fish soon.

Glad I booked a table as it was pretty busy, obvioulsy a popular place for a Sunday breakfast. Food was very good, well presented and of a good amount, not too muc or too little. Staff were all friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The genreal ambiance was just as expected on a sunday morning, with a few large tables of friends meeting up and others just reading the papers. There was no rush to leave the table even though the place was busy which was nice.

I love Gandolfi's and living overseas now make a point of visiting every time I come home... Usually do lunch or dinner but stuck a bit for time so could only fit in brekkie which I had not done before. Sounded good as menu was extensive, but experience was not great. Very quiet (so atmosphere a bit lacking) but still received little attention from the staff and a request for a second coffee never materialised. So will still return because I love the place, but just not for brekkie!

We ate in restaurant and had a fantastic meal and fun night. Still talking about it three days later! Must try.
