Great value for money and lovely food
Been several times to this restaurant and always really enjoyed the food, booked the offer for 2 pizza or pasta, great value for money and beautiful food. I had the prawn pasta which I paid a small supplement for and I have to say it's one of the nicest pasta dishes I have tasted, husband had a pizza which he also enjoyed, very good service and nice atmosphere, would throughly recommend this restaurant to all.

Recently refurbished city centre Italian
Located on Bothwell Street, Viva Ristorante is a welcoming, family-run Italian dining spot. After its recent makeover it is looking lighter, brighter and more contemporary, yet it still hasn’t lost its original warmth and cosiness. New features include a restful colour scheme of blondes, greys and dusty blues, plus spruced-up booth seating, filament-style lighting and walls clad with reclaimed wood. Close to various theatres and venues, this would make a smart yet relaxed pre-show destination.
Wide-ranging menu
Viva Ristorante offers an ample choice of pizza and pasta dishes as well as chicken, veal and steak, all made using the finest quality ingredients. There are always daily specials, including a freshly prepared fish dish.
Popular choices include the classic puttanesca pizza topped with anchovies, capers, tomato, mozzarella and black olives. From the pasta selection, the spaghetti carbonara, made with bacon, egg, parmesan, garlic and cream sauce is always a favourite, while veggies can sample the fettucine con vegetale with asparagus, roast peppers, goats cheese, tomato and basil sauce.
From the meat mains, you could opt for the pan-fried veal with mushrooms, white wine and cream or the breast of chicken marinated in rosemary and garlic. The chargrilled fillet and sirloin steaks come with a choice of diane, pepper or pizzaiola sauce.
Welcoming pre-theatre destination
A short walk from Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations, Viva Ristorante is also handy for Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, the King’s Theatre and the Old Fruitmarket. There are taxi ranks at both stations and pay parking can be found nearby on Waterloo Street.
