La Vita Spuntini - Glasgow City

Extract of review in Sunday Times of La Vita Spuntini This place is more like somewhere where weird brownish meat goes to commit suicide in weird brownish sauce. The food was shocking, truly Hammer horror it was the culinary equivalent of that bit in The Exorcist when the little girl 's head swivels through 360 degrees. After several courses I began expecting the waiters to bring the stuff from the kitchen screaming: The power of Christ compels you! The concept here is Italian tapas, little plates. This is where the restaurant 's sense of mercy ends. It reminds you of the old joke about the establishment that serves terrible food in tiny portions at least there isn 't a...read more

Give it a go.... I was a bit apprehensive about going to La Vita Spuntini having read some very mixed reviews however I really liked it. It 's a place to go for your 'tea ' as opposed to dinner (if you know what I mean) but the food was good and service quick it reminded me of La Tasca. I wouldn 't say it 's particularly cheap although we ordered more food than we needed. They recommend 3 or 4 dishes each but 5 between the two of us would have been enough, though that might depend on what you actually order.

Luverly!!!. Visited here with my partner on Saturday night. Ok, it was busy and we felt cramped but all you need to do is ask to be seated upstairs when there is a table they whisk you off and before you know it your feeling more chilled. Food was great Ideal for us as we're not huge eaters and so you can pick at 3 small dishes instead of tackling huge portions of pasts. Having said that the pasta is on the menu for our next vist! We had the sardines, meatballs, mini pizzas, courgette flowers and risotto balls all excellent. House wine was great and the staff are amazing so firendly and honestly go out of their way to be very helpful but in no way intrusive. Love this place!

Amazing restaurant and a must visit for anyone who is a fan of Italian food. The mini portions work really well, the decor is wow and price is very reasonable(3 dishes for £6.99 till 6pm). Without a doubt I will visit again.

This is the perfect place to come to with friends, and ideally situated in the heart of Glasgow's West End especially where there are lots of Students. The prices are very fair and the menu had lots of options. The food was good but not outstanding, but having a spot of lunch here certainly didn't break the bank. I would recommend this to others who are looking for a friendly place for lunch, with good Italian food, great service and a nice atmosphere.
