Bringing back good Italian cooking to our city
At The Italian Kitchen, we have a very simple philosophy - to serve great Italian food, prepared the proper way, using only the freshest ingredients. We are passionate about what we do and we want others to share our enthusiasm. We believe that good Italian cuisine should be a priority and that's why we've brought back the tradition of using only the finest ingredients to create mouth-watering dishes.
Our Story
When we first opened the doors to The Italian Kitchen, our goal was to have customers compare us to Italian restaurants in Italy, not Glasgow. We decided to bring back good Italian cooking to our city, where it had previously been taken for granted. We wanted to reintroduce the people of Glasgow and its visitors to fine Italian food, prepared with love and care.
Our Cooking Philosophy
We believe that cooking is not just about following a recipe, but about using only the freshest ingredients to create dishes that are authentic and delicious. That's why we prepare our sauces and breads daily, using only the finest ingredients. We use only San Marzano tomatoes for our sauces and pizzas, and we prepare our pizzas to DOC standard, using only double '0' grade flour, extra virgin olive oil, and mozzarella di bufala.
Our Services
At The Italian Kitchen, we offer a range of services to make your dining experience with us even more enjoyable. We offer takeaway and collection options, so you can enjoy the taste of Italy from the comfort of your own home. We also offer gift vouchers, which are the perfect way to share the love of Italian food with friends and family. And, if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion, we offer party bookings and tailored menus to make your event truly unforgettable.
