Celentano's

Enter Celentano’s, the Italian inspired, Michelin Bib Gourmanded restaurant from husband and wife duo Dean and Anna Parker.

Dean has clocked up decades in London kitchens (most notably as the exec chef at Robin Gill’s Darby’s) before the couple decided on a move north of the border, bringing a slice of the Amalfi Coast to Glasgow. Celentano’s is currently between homes, with a new chapter at the Arthouse landing this spring, which makes their stint with us the perfect moment to road-test, tweak and turn a few new ideas over the flame.

At its heart, this is regional Italian cooking. But look closer and you’ll find nose-to-tail thinking, a serious commitment to sustainability, and a cellar stacked with ferments and cures quietly doing their thing. The upshot? The sort of “exquisite pasta” that had Grace Dent swooning, alongside generous, deeply comforting plates that are built for sharing.

It’s good-for-the-soul food, made with intent. Pull up a chair.
