2) Paesano Pizza
Paesano Pizza are the first to bring authentic, traditional Napoletana pizza to Glasgow!
Cooked in Artisan built wood fired ovens from Naples, their Pizzaiolo take pride in adhering to the process in production of the dough and provenance of the produce to Verace pizza Napoletana standard.
Their pizza is a hybrid yeast and sourdough proofed for over 48 hours. The long proofing time together with cooking at an intense heat of 500°C produces a moist, light, soft, digestible crust which is aromatic and delicious.

4) Viva Brazil
Viva Brazil is an award-wining Brazilian steakhouse, offering dining experience that dates back hundreds of years to the times of the cowboys of Southern Brazil.

You control the service with a small double-sided disc placed on your table. The green side signals the passadors to keep bringing meats, while the red side indicates that you would like to take a break.
To accompany the meats served to your table, the Salad Island boasts over twenty different variations of traditional Brazilian hot dishes, freshly prepared salads and sides.
Viva Brazil is a family-friendly restaurant and offer free meals for children up to 10 years old with a paying adult, as well as free desserts, balloons and kids entertainment every Sunday afternoon!
