Fanelli's

Let’s be honest, the thought of a cold, wet January doesn’t always fill the heart with unstoppable joy.

Happily, today’s Big Deal from Fanelli’s Italian restaurant can add some culinary sunshine to the start of 2018.

In the funky heart of the Merchant City, Fanelli’s is a family-friendly restaurant which serves classic Italian dishes.

The Merchant Square location means that diners can eat on the cobbled courtyard of the covered square and watch the Merchant City life go by without risking frostbite or a soaking.

Christmas gift

Let the Fanelli’s team brighten your day with this Big Deal.

As mentioned, this Big Deal on a meal for two at Fanelli’s would make a cute stocking-filler.

It would also be great for Sunday lunch with friends; a dinner date or a bite to eat before catching a Celtic Connections show just across the road in the Old Fruitmarket.
