Roberta's Glasgow: former Iberica on St Vincent Street set for new authentic Italian restaurant

A new restaurant offering 'unfussy, authentic' Italian cooking is set to open in the city centre next month.

The people behind Cranside Kitchen, Rioja, and Halloumi will be transforming the former Iberica site on St Vincent Street into Roberta's.

Roberta's will be serving Neapolitan pizzas, made in a hot wood-fired oven, and 'playful and nostalgic' pasta dishes. Also on the menu will be grill-inspired plates, decadent Italian desserts, and cocktails that bring a touch of New York-style and substance to Glasgow city centre.

The wine list will feature Italian labels as well as interesting new names that will also complement the restaurant's focus on the Italian lifestyle and cuisine.

Roberta's will be open daily for lunch and dinner set within a 100 plus cover space spread across the bar, main dining room, and private dining.

Toni Carbajosa Director at C&C Restaurant Group, said: "Roberta's Glasgow will take a fresher approach to the traditional Italian Ristorantes and Trattorias that can be found throughout Glasgow.

"We'll have an extensive cocktail menu, wood-fired pizzas, reinvigorating pasta dishes and sharing plates, the finest seafood and shellfish plus a dedicated aperitivo bar. Roberta's will be lively and gallus, mixing Italian style with a strong dose of modern Glasgow attitude".

Roberta's is set to open in mid-September.
