BOSSES behind a renowned Greek eatery in Glasgow are currently transforming the former Iberica restaurant into a new Italian.
The Haloumi owners - also behind Cranside Kitchen and Rioja - are shifting through plans to bring Roberta's to St Vincent Street.
The 100 seater premises will soon be offering up Neapolitan pizzas made in a bespoke blistering-hot wood-fired while pasta dishes will be both playful and nostalgic.
And grill-inspired plates, decadent Italian desserts and a trendy cocktail bar will provide a touch of New York style to the city centre.
Wine lovers can also expect to enjoy a list bursting with legendary Italian label options.
Toni Carbajosa, director at C&C Restaurant Group, said: "Roberta's Glasgow will take a fresher approach to the traditional Italian Ristorantes and Trattorias that can be found throughout Glasgow.
"We'll have an extensive cocktail menu, wood-fired pizzas, reinvigorating pasta dishes and sharing plates, the finest seafood and shellfish plus a dedicated aperitivo bar.
"Roberta's will be lively and gallus, mixing Italian style with a strong dose of modern Glasgow attitude".
Interior design elements in the old Victorian bank building include a teal and gold colour palette, marble, rich warm woods and leather finishes, and a lively, upbeat atmosphere.
The eatery will be open by mid-September.
