La Parmigiana, the longest established classic Italian restaurant in
Glasgow that remains under the ownership of the family that founded
it, has retained its two AA rosettes for culinary excellence for the
second year running.
Established over 30 years ago on Great Western Road by Angelo
Giovanazzi, father of present proprietors Sandro and Stefano, over
the years La Parmigiana has earned a reputation for being elegant,
yet affordable and has won a number of culinary accolades over the years.
Sandro Giovanazzi said, "We're delighted to retain our two AA
rosettes which signify that our culinary standards are as high as
they have ever been. An essential ingredient to the success of La
Parmigiana has been the input of head chef Peppino Camilli, who
continues to prepare traditional Italian food using the best fresh
British and Scottish ingredients."
La Parmigiana has been the only Italian restaurant in Scotland to be
included in the AA Restaurant Guide, The Michelin Restaurant Guide
and the Good Food Guide. It recently won The Best Italian Restaurant
Award at the inaugural Scottish Restaurant Awards 2008, an award
which followed La Parmigiana being named as one of only seven Italian
restaurants and three pizza restaurants across the UK to have won
Gold Awards by the Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Association (PAPA)
in recognition of its exceptional standards.
La Parmigiana is regularly lauded by Italian newspapers and often
cited as one of the best Italian restaurants outside Italy. So much
so that, whenever an Italian club or national football team plays in
Glasgow, La Parmigiana is invariably the first port-of-call for
Italian journalists to indulge themselves in a protracted post-match
analysis over a fine wine and a delicious meal.
