Caffè Parma

We enjoyed a delicious lunch in informal surroundings with attentive service. I woukd have liked the option to have a 'half' portion of pasta as the portions are very generous. I would have been very willing to pay significantly more than half price for this option as I dislike waste. I feel also w... Read more

We enjoyed a delicious lunch in informal surroundings with attentive service. I woukd have liked the option to have a 'half' portion of pasta as the portions are very generous. I would have been very willing to pay significantly more than half price for this option as I dislike waste. I feel also we woukd perhaps have added a shared starter etc if this option were available. Overall a very enjoyable visit and we will visit again. Show less

Handy location with easy access and parking. Excellent service although a bit disappointed in the food on this occasion. Spinach and ricotta pasta covered in way too much heavy cheese sauce. Very noisy patrons at the next table so struggling to hear conversation. Been a few times and it was lovely s... Read more

A great find for breakfast, having driven for a couple of hours to bring a friend to the Nuffield for 8 am. A wide selection of breakfast choices, delicious coffee, and even the water tasted good!

Causal dining at this west end restaurant. The staff were really nice and knowledgeable.

Causal dining at this west end restaurant. The staff were really nice and knowledgeable. The decor is simple clean and modern, it is on the grounds of a tennis club, sitting on its own in the west end. The food was excellent, the party had pizza and pasta dishes, pizza apparently was second best ever (so something to work on!!) All in all highly recommended. Please note you will need to book a table it is busy Show less

The perfect place for an al fresco birthday celebration... in Level 3!

The perfect place for an al fresco birthday celebration... in Level 3! The rain and wind never dampened our spirits, that's because it's such a lovely restaurant with friendly and accommodating staff, an outdoor (covered) seating area overlooking the tennis courts, and tasty traditional Italian dishes. It was well worth the journey from Glasgow's southside. I will definitely return, and I'll be ordering the carbonara again! Show less

Have eaten at Parma several times over the years and I can say the service is always on-point, fast attentive and friendly. However I cannot say the same for the food.

Have eaten at Parma several times over the years and I can say the service is always on-point, fast attentive and friendly. However I cannot say the same for the food. There have been some visits where I was blown away by the quality and the freshness of the dishes (and the speed in which they had them out) and other times where I felt like I was eating at any other mid-level italian restaurant in Glasgow. That being said I have never had a 'bad' meal here even some of the less than stelar experiences were still nice enough but I would like to see some more constancy from the kitchen. I would still recommend Parma if you're in the area. Show less

What's going on. Wait times for courses over 40 mins. Bruschetta burnt, pizza completely burnt . Really disappointed in the quality of food. We weren't the only ones having to wait.

We had lunch at Cafe Parma mid July. Sunday afternoon we managed to get a table by walk in which was good. Got very loud quickly due to their being quite a few big tables in.

We had lunch at Cafe Parma mid July. Sunday afternoon we managed to get a table by walk in which was good. Got very loud quickly due to their being quite a few big tables in. Super Hot and stuffy inside so we eventually asked for the air conditioning to be switched on or doors opened more. Food selection okay, food arrived quickly and was good. Wouldn’t say it was amazing or anything but it was fine. Maybe had our bar set to high because people raved about it. Price wise probably fine for the area. Overall nothing to write home about. Table of 5. Show less

we just live five minutes walk away and can say with confidence that this is great spot which never disappoints. If you're just in for coffee or a large celebratory meal, the experience is always perfect. The staff are extremely welcoming and make it all very slick and enjoyable. The food is some of the best you'll get in Glasgow and the Italian cuisine is undeniably authentic. Finally, a special word for the setting as it is totally delightful. Being able to sit and watch people play tennis (at varying levels of proficiency but always enjoyable) with a coffee or something stronger. A great place which is a credit to Glasgow! Show less

For some reason this little gem skips under the radar of many review platforms. I suspect the locals know how valuable this culinary treasure chest is and consequently word of mouth is probably its best friend. I arrived at the end of service and most people were just finishing off their lunch. I was offered a table next to a couple who were deep in philosophical discourse and since Pascal's wager wasn't on my to do list, I was offered a booth; near the end of service you can get lucky like that. The table next to me was waxing eloquent about the 'brewshetta' I resisted the urge to correct them. I started with the arancini which was served with a parmesan smear and micro greens. The pancetta inside had been rendered properly and didn't overpower the rice . Delicious! I opted for the Salciccia with a gf pasta. The gluten-free variety is most often penne and this was a particularly good one. The Italian sausage was flavoured with fennel (and could have been supplied by Rogers the butchers on Byres Road. If not they have a decent competitor!). The dish was beautifully balanced and had I noticed the excess sugo, I would have asked for some gf bread. I really needed an espresso to close but time was against me. The manager was old school, may I say. The ability to listen is often lost on the younger gens - or whatever they are called. Her attention to detail was matched by her manner: Confident, calm, relaxed and professional. I may have bought a used car from her.. if that had been on the menu ha! The waitress was lovely too. Perhaps an evening visit with friends would provide a fuller picture, but lunch was certainly a positive experience! Ido hope to return soon... It would be rude not to Show less
