Andiamo Italian Restaurant







Andiamo is an Italian restaurant located in Giffnock and Milngavie just outside the Glasgow area. Again as I have previously mentioned Italian is most definitely my favourite cuisine. At Andiamo they have a dedicated gluten free menu available which ranges from starters including, bruschetta, olives and a range of Italian meats served with buffalo mozzarella. Main courses including, gluten free pasta either spaghetti or penne, risotto (often a popular gluten free option as risotto is made from rice), meats and fish along with sides of garlic bread, homemade chips and mash potato.

Lunchtime...



Andiamo is not only great for an evening meal however they offer a range of gluten free sandwiches which are perfect for lunchtime. The sandwiches range from steak, BLT, club and tuna mayo, I chose the club sandwich this includes pancetta, chicken, iceberg lettuce and tomato served on gluten free toast absolutely delicious with a side of chips (or soup) and a side salad. You wouldn’t know it was gluten free it was that good!!



Evening meal...


For my starter I selected gluten free garlic bread topped with caramelised onion, mozzarella and tomato. The mozzarella was melted over the top of the caramelised onion and the tomatoes were placed on top all full of flavour.


Lastly for my main I decided on the cartoccio cardinale, this was gluten free penne pasta served with ham, mushroom, peppers, onions, tomato and cream topped with mozzarella. This was baked in foil in order to add extra flavour to the dish.  The pasta came served in the foil, which also kept the dish hotter for longer and served with a sprinkle of parmesan. The dish was very enjoyable, exactly what I expected from the description.


Would I recommend?


Andiamo is the perfect restaurant for those following a gluten free diet, as the choice available is endless and also great quality. Overall I was very impressed with both my lunchtime and evening options

My Choice... Normally most restaurants do not offer a gluten free beef burger never mind offering a burger bun that also contains no gluten products, so of course I was over the moon to be able to have a proper burger again! The burger was served with house burger relish along with lettuce, tomato and ski...
