Amore d'Italia & Amore to Go

You'll find yourself on Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun, where Amore d'Italia has quietly become the kind of place locals actually return to rather than just talk about. The kitchen takes Italian cooking seriously without being pretentious about it — wood-fired pizzas with properly charred crusts, pasta shapes made in-house, and sauces that aren't messing about with unnecessary fuss. It's a neighbourhood spot that's somehow accumulated over 1,200 reviews, which tells you something about consistency. The casual vibe means you're equally welcome with your pals for a casual dinner as you are taking a date somewhere that actually feels like you've made an effort.
