A city centre Italian restaurant has rebranded with a stylish new look and a menu inspired by Northern Italy.
Barolo, the Italian restaurant from the folks behind The Anchor Line, will reopen this month on Mitchell Street in Glasgow with a stylish new look offering modern-day Northern Italian fare in a Piedmont inspired setting.
The DRG, which also has Di Maggio's and Cafe Andaluz, plan to completely transform and reposition the current Barolo Grill site and work is currently underway.
The effortlessly stylish restaurant will now be known as Barolo and will offer understated, classic Italian cooking alongside fine wines and signature cocktails.
The eatery at 92 Mitchell Street is no stranger to the city's restaurant scene and has been an Italian restaurant for over half a century - home to Glasgow’s first Italian restaurant.
The site first opened as L’Ariosto, the home of the Italian dinner dance and 'the' place to see and be seen.
As recently as 2008, the restaurant still carried out the classic flambe cooking tableside, a favourite of traditional Italian restaurants. S
Sadly, the days of flambe and dinner dances have gone….for now.
Barolo bids to bring 1960's Italian glamour up to date when they open the cosmopolitan eatry this Autumn.
Ahead of the re-invention, Tony Conetta, Director at the DRG, said: “We re-invented L’Ariosto back in 2008 and time has come again for Barolo to be transformed. We wanted somewhere serving fresh pasta and classic Italian cookery but where understated Italian style gives a sense of occasion – whether you’re dropping in for breakfast, cocktails or a fresh pasta lunch.”
Highlights from the new-look menu will include fresh Buratta on sourdough with shaved Black Truffle and extra virgin olive oil. Fresh pastas will be kept classic: fresh Linguine, Guanciale, Pecorino and egg yolk and the chargrill will be offering up charred sliced Fillet of Beef, pickled walnuts and horseradish cream.
