    Food was very disappointing. Drenched in melted cheese which changed a nuce pasta dish to stodge. It was noisy we couldnt hear each other. Could be a great place if they sort out their menu staff were very attentive

    Booked a hotel on Sauchiehall Street for the night and decided to try Cafe Antipasti for lunch. So glad we did. Food was absolutely beautiful and it was only 16.95 for 3 courses???? In the middle of Glasgow?? We already planning our next visit here. Would highly recommend Cafe Antipasti!

    On arrival we were told there was no booking in our name. The door keeper was not in the slightest bit interested in my proffered email confirmation from Open Table. After some discussion we were permitted to enter an almost empty restaurant. 3 other tables were occupied, 2 of whom left soon after we arrived. We were placed at a table right by the door where we would be jostled by servers and patrons coming and going. We declined that table and were reluctantly shown a table inside the main dark and dingy restaurant. The seating was on a velvet covered banquette seat - which was filthy, stained, worn and torn. The table was minute and the surface was sticky. We thought twice about staying but did regretably stay and we ordered from the pre-theatre menu. I had a Caesar salad which consisted of a soggy limp leaf of lettuce chopped up in tiny pieces. This was accompanied by a single cherry tomato cut in half, too much vinegary dressing and a sliver of cheese of some sort. There then followed a slab of microwaved lasagne and some over cooked french fries. The lasagne was not cooked through properly and consisted of a massive slab of multiple layers of uncooked pasta topped with a thick gelatinous substance which I presume was uncooked béchamel sauce. The edges were warmed through but the centre was still frozen- clearly food is not made fresh but stored in the freezer and microwaved. The server who noticed that I was not eating it did offer an alternative, but by then all we wanted to do was leave. To be fair the table service was quick - perhaps because the food wasn't cooked properly - and the staff were pleasant enough once we got past the Rottweiler on the door. They did take the price of my meal off the bill. My partners meal- a very mediocre and dry pizza with slabs of dessicated chicken on top of thin tomato sauce and a few bits of cheese for which, plus two tinned soft drinks, we paid £20. We wont be back and would suggest that others think twice!

    Love this place for food and have visited several times before. Made the mistake of being seated at booth at front door. Ok most of the time, but actually very cold and draughty on this occasion due to outside weather and frequent opening of doors due to restaurant being fully booked. We were only there to eat before a show, but if I was catching up with friends and this table was my only option, I’m afraid I would choose to eat elsewhere.

    Lovely wee restaurant. The food was good but service was very slow . I was shocked at the cost of a large glass of wine - £11.50 ……….. more expensive than a 2 course lunch !!! That is ridiculous!!!

    Visited for a pre theatre lunch, we had lasagne, mushroom risotto and fries to share. The food was delicious and served piping hot, we felt the portions were generous too. We would 100% recommend Cafe Antipasti and will definitely return.
