Great customer reviews
Amarone are some of the most popular restaurants on 5pm Dining. Here is what a couple of recent diners had to say about the Glasgow restaurant. We liked this one for being short and sweet:
‘Excellent all round as always.’
This review comes to the same conclusion but goes into more detail:
‘Excellent. Visited with friends for pre-theatre on Saturday. The staff were friendly, helpful, attentive. The food was good with large portions. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.’
Give the gift of dining
A chic Italian dining experience is just the thing to brighten up the skint post-Christmas months.
Multiple purchases of up to eight are allowed, so this could be an excellent gift for a couple who’d enjoy a romantic night out.
