Italian Restaurants Set to Open in Glasgow, Kingston Pike 2025

Several notable Italian dining establishments are opening or expanding in 2025, each offering unique culinary experiences centered on quality and social dining. Amalfi, a new Italian restaurant owned by Paul and Meredith Martin, is set to open in the fall of 2025 on Kingston Pike, promising an authentic atmosphere and cuisine. Meanwhile, Malocchio, a fresh concept by restaurateur Romano Perrella, will open on September 18 in Glasgow's Merchant City, featuring sharing plates that are larger than tapas but smaller than full entrees, with a focus on freshly made pasta and signature pizzettes, designed to create a relaxed and social dining experience. Perrella emphasizes the importance of flexibility with bookings and walk-ins, aiming to offer high-quality food at affordable prices. Additionally, Lawrence Longo is expanding Prince St. Pizza, a premium New York-based pizza brand known for its iconic pepperoni square slices, to new locations including Las Vegas, maintaining the authentic taste of the original shop. Together, these ventures reflect a broader trend toward premium, experiential Italian dining that balances tradition with modern social dining preferences.
