Three generations of her family were in attendance, including her mother, an Italian immigrant whose journey took her from Italy to Brazil, Lyon in France and finally to Glasgow.

The title is a symbol of dedication for Italian entrepreneurs and professionals who have shown more than 20 years of excellence in industry, agriculture, commerce or crafts.

Giovanna and her brother, Eddie, took reins of the business from their parents who started the restaurant 40 years ago.

It has become known as one of the go-to places for an authentic Italian dining experience in the West End as they work hard to import unique products made by artisan makers across Italy.
