Qua Italian Restaurant is a popular place in Glasgow’s Merchant City that serves contemporary Italian food. Having trained in Rome, the chef imparts a Roman influence to many of the dishes while Qua’s Tuscan owner adds a taste of northern Italy’s culinary traditions to the kitchen. Large windows wrap around the corner site and keep it as bright and cheerful as the staff. As handy for the concert spaces and nightlife of the Merchant city as it is for the shops and offices of the city centre, Qua Italian Restaurant is a bustling, family-run, Glasgow Italian.
Italian Merchant City
An extensive selection of contemporary Italian dishes keep the customers coming back to Qua Italian in Glasgow. The food is all freshly prepared on the day and, as well as the standard range of menus which Qua runs, there are daily seasonal specials. The house signature dishes include the Bistecca alla Qua – prime Scottish beef sirloin steak served in a sauce of wild mushrooms, truffle oil, and Marsala wine. For something a little lighter, try the golden-fried, battered sole on a bed of asparagus, fresh cream, white wine and roasted pine nuts. Naturally, there is an array of pasta, pizza and risotto dishes to choose from but don’t overlook the desserts.
