Interior design elements in the old Victorian bank building on the corner of St Vincent Street and Hope Street include a teal and gold colour palette, marble, rich warm woods and leather finishes, and a lively, upbeat atmosphere. A range of tables, from intimate tables of two through to the restaurant’s generous window booths with seating for up to eight, cater for a wide range of dining requirements as well as a stunning private dining area that can seat up to eighteen guests. The long-bar at Roberta’s is set to attract an eclectic crowd of young urbanites downing good old-fashioned cocktails by the bucket.

Roberta’s is open daily for lunch and dinner set within a stunning 100 plus cover space that manages to feel very intimate, spread across the bar, main dining room and private dining.

“Roberta’s Glasgow is a unique take on the conventional Italian Ristorante and Trattorias located around Glasgow. An extensive cocktail menu, wood-fired pizzas, energising pasta dishes and sharing platters, the freshest seafood and shellfish, and a special aperitivo bar mixes Italian style with a strong dose of modern Glasgow attitude”
