qua

was out in glasgow city centre and popped into qua with family. what a fantastic place, service was excellent as was the food and ambiance. staff were attentive and friendly, definitely going to be our italian of choice when out with family! highly recommended.

i was really impressed with the lunchtime value on offer at qua. i had two good courses for a really attractive price

the best carbonara with the best staff and a great price. obviously, a wee bit quiet given all that is going-on the now, however, everyone was so friendly and upbeat and made my early-evening dinner really special thank you!

my girlfriend and i enjoyed a really wonderful evening here. friendly welcome from toni and all his staff and then a very good value meal for both of us. my girlfriend loved her calamari and then penne i spicy tomato sauce. i went for a classic bruschetta and then a pizza. all food was just like back home in italia. thank you to all!

i am just finishing off my cod main course which was really beautiful. the service has been friendly and the place has a lovely atmosphere. it's so busy but all the staff have found the time to serve me well. 5 stars!

food was absolutely amazing, weren't left feeling hungry and weren't left feeling heavy and bloated. the portions were perfect and my girlfriend who is the fussiest eater ever ate all three courses. 
as for the atmosphere, that was also brilliant. it was clear that you weren't just another customer and although the restaurant was busy we were made to feel valued and welcome, our comfort and enjoyment and quality of service was clearly the top priority of the floor staff, the manager also took his time to explain the menu and what things were he also helped us choose what we wanted asking our likes and dislikes helping and recommending what dishes we may like. i have already reserved a table for my next visit and will see myself travelling to glasgow quite regularly to visit this excellent restaurant.

lovely place, good prompt service, food was awful ! ............avoid this place!!!!!. myself and my good lady dined here tonight, the service was really i good, food was awful!! ordered calamari and the fillet steak,, the calamari was like rubber and overcooked, it was like chewing an old elastic band,, and fillet steak was ordered medium, as it also states on the menu it will be done as such unless asked for differently,, it was came more than well done, dark grey and covered in a plate of mushrooms! horrible !! like eating road kill!!! bear grills wouldnt have ate it and neither did we, ( but ive been informed by paolo, that we ate it all and never complained at the time) !!! paaah! ive cooked many a better fillet steak myself at home!!! £21.00 for the fillet. my partners mozzarella fingers were obviously frozen, ive had better from mcdonalds! seriously!!! her fish (sea bass) was done in horrible jelly like watery sauce, i tasted it , it was foul ! she never ate it, waiter i asked if there was a problem and i told them ( as my wife doesnt like conflict and gets embarrassed) the food was bland, tasteless, and we never got any apology. nothing, never gave them a tip, bill was £61.00, best tip..eat in italian kitchen across the road.
i have read the owners replies to his reviews on trip advisor and also on facebook... slagging off his customers like they mean nothing to them, well, we are the people who give you our hard earned money paolo !
without us your business will go to the dogs! saying we are all wrong and other derogatory comments about people who only speak about the experience of your food, the place is beautiful inside, service was quick, efficient and friendly, but the food was really terrible ! reading your replies and derogatory remarks and your constant messages to me on facebook, calling me derogatory names etc... your customers and potential customers will be reading your reviews and comments .. such as slating all the people who have had bad food in your establishment as... illiterate, uneducated..unworthy of your establishment. picking on peoples spelling mistakes etc like a petty little child , people are entitled to there opinion of your food and it was those people who chose to give you payment for the food you served them.

this was my second visit to qua and had the mozzarella fritters for starters then the fillet steak with the pizzaiola sauce normaly i have my steak plain but i am glad i tried the sauce it was amazing the meat melted in my mouth mmmmmmm i want more now!! the staff are great i got a warm welcome fast and cheerfull service even the price put a smile on my face. all in all i will be back.

qua is delizioso. my family of 6 found the restaurant close by to our hotel through urbanspoon. an unexpected delight. the host and all the waiters were super-friendly and patient. the food was superb. we ordered dinner off the 3-course pris fix menu for £10.95 and every dish tasted top-of-the-line. the desserts were particularly amazing. a noteworthy value in the generally expensive uk restaurant scene; one of glasgow's culinary gems for traveler and local alike.

qua(lity) & value. this italian restaurant is at the east end of the city centre and as they do a lunchtime 2 course deal, i decided to give it a try. first impressions were good. in the door and a warm welcome right away. i was offered a window table and made myself comfortable. i started with the bruschetta (sharp and fresh) and followed with the spag bol (spot on). the diners next to me had pizza which looked superb. so, great food, nice ambience and friendly service and all at a bargain price. as arnie says "i'll be back".

good value lunch. four of us visited this restaurant for lunch. we were lucky enough to get a lovely table at the front window. the food was very good and portions excellent for luchtime and all for less than six pounds. the staff were friendly but not pushy. i'm sure we'll be visiting again.

the chicken wings i had as a starter were served in a watery salty gravy and were nothing short of disgusting, mozzarella sticks that tasted of absolutely zilch, followed by very average main courses.

bit of a let down. nice place, nice atmosphere but my risotto was (sorry to use such a harsh word but it's true) disgusting. it had no italian authenticity to the taste or substance at all. unfortunately it has put me off coming back.

lovely food and nice atmosphere. polished off all of our dishes. service was really good too. recommend this place.

nice and relaxed. liked this place, offers up some pretty good traditional italian dishes. everything seemed well up to standard and especially enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. staff at hand at if need be, but never overly pestering at all. plus price for 2 under £40, so can't complain about that. a definite cheaper alternative to some others around, but not lacking in quality so worth a shot.
