Visit & Vibes

Guess who finally made it back to Sannio Italian restaurant and bar in Glasgow?

Yep, that’s right, yours truly! I’ve been itching to return to this place for a while now, and tonight was the night. You see, I was headed to catch a musical at the King’s Theatre, and let me tell you, Sannio is the *perfect* pre-show dining spot.

Walking in, it felt like déjà vu – still as cozy and inviting as ever, with just a smidge of change in the decor.

The staff, as friendly as I remembered, greeted me with their warm smiles.

I couldn’t wait to dive into the menu and make that all-important decision: What to eat tonight?

The Food

Arancini £8.00
Mozzarella, mushroom rice balls

If you’ve ever dined at a place and found yourself ordering the same dish again, you’ll know that it’s a true testament to its deliciousness. Well, that’s exactly what happened to me at my recent visit tonight.

First things first, presentation. The moment it arrived at my table, I couldn’t help but notice a subtle change in their appearance since my last visit. A tweak in the plating, perhaps, but it was a change I instantly adored. The aroma that wafted from them was nothing short of intoxicating. It was an invitation to embark on a culinary adventure, and I was eager to accept.

Without further ado, I dug right in. The Arancini was perfection – crispy on the outside and wonderfully creamy within. The mix of herbs, spices, and a hint of cheesy goodness was nothing short of divine.

Whether you prefer to savor your Arancini on their own or create exciting flavor combinations with the accompanying sauces, the choice is yours. E

By the time I had savored the last bite, I was left with an insatiable craving for more. I could have easily devoured a second plate, or maybe even a third. That’s how irresistibly good these Arancini were.

Pizza Carne £19.00
Italian sausage, spicy chicken, salami, parma ham

When a dish is so good that you find yourself ordering it again and again, you know you’ve stumbled upon something extraordinary. That’s exactly the case with the phenomenal Pizza Carni I couldn’t resist revisiting.

As I mentioned last time, the flavor profile of this pizza is nothing short of amazing, making it one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. So, of course, I had to put it to the test once more, to ensure it still held its culinary magic.

From the moment it graced my table, it was evident that this pizza was something special. Visually, it was a feast for the eyes, a tantalizing mosaic of toppings that promised a flavor explosion. And oh, that aroma! It filled the air, teasing my senses with the promise of an exceptional taste experience. The Italian sausage was the star of the olfactory show, its rich scent dominating the scene.

Eager to relive the magic, I grabbed a big slice and took a bite. Just like before, it was a trip down memory lane to flavor heaven. The pizza was perfectly cooked, with a lovely, thin base that provided the ideal canvas for the myriad toppings. Each element played its part to perfection, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds.

I have no reservations in reiterating that this is, without a doubt, one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long time.

If you find yourself at this pizzeria, Pizza Carni is a must-try. It’s a culinary journey that never disappoints, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking pizza perfection.

Final Thoughts…

It was nice to be back at Sannio and tonight’s meal was tasty and extremely enjoyable.

This is when things changed, I asked for the bill and was told it was on them which was very nice but the whole point of me returning is to support places….so next time I will be booking under a different name.

Thank you Sannio for tonight’s meal and you are now on my top spots page as the food was amazing tonight.
