It's the first restaurant in Glasgow for the Cozzolino Brothers, Antonio, Pasquale, and Simone, who trained under London-based celebrity chef Francesco Mazzei.

The brothers promise to bring the traditions and flavours from their third-generation family-owned Vesuvian tomato farm in the Campania region of Italy.

Antonio said: “We’re just weeks away now and we simply can’t wait. 

"The décor is more than we could have ever imagined, a wow moment when you walk through the door. 

"We’ve worked hard on creating a menu that delivers a real Italian dining experience and we’re excited for everyone to try it.”
