Still Game star Sanjeev Kohli praises 'magic' new Glasgow pizza restaurant

A new Glasgow restaurant has come in for praise from one of Still Game's biggest stars.

Last week, we reported on the opening of new pizza joint Nostrana, on Hyndland Road, which was formerly the home of Pizza Magic.

The beautiful new bar and restaurant has been serving freshly prepared and authentic Italian food on Hyndland Road since Thursday.

The 100-seater venue aims to have 'something for everyone', offering a takeaway and dine-in service, with owners saying 'neighbourhood and community' are at the heart of their new venture.

And one of their first satisfied customers is the comedian and actor who played the iconic Navid role in Glasgow's much-loved sitcom.

Following a visit to the new west eatery, Sanjeev Kohli took to Twitter to share a photo of the restaurant after a bit of Glasgow rain and said: "Nostrana. Cracking new Glasgow restaurant. Used to be Pizza Magic. And is still magic.

"As you can see, they’ve even thoughtfully provided their own lake.

"No need though, as the food and the ambience are, I’ll say it again, magic."

Proprietor Marco Stevenson, who has traded at the location since 1989, said he is thrilled and delighted to be opening.

He added: “Hyndland and the West End have given me so much over the years and I feel privileged to be part of the neighbourhood. I have never lived here but I consider it my home because of the friendliness and warmth of my friends and the local community.

"We are really excited about what we have here. I have struggled to define Nostrana as just a restaurant serving good food - we want it to be a place where people can come for anything; drinks, a coffee, a meal, as a couple, as a group, or by themselves."
