Tucked away on the east side of Glasgow, Celentano’s is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place built on the joy of gathering. Italian-inspired, yet deeply rooted in local Scottish produce, Celentano’s brings people together over wholesome, seasonal dishes served in a casual yet refined setting. With a strong focus on sustainability and a shared love for simple, delicious food, the restaurant has quietly gained recognition from the Michelin Guide, a testament to its thoughtful, ingredient-led approach.
