The 5pm Dining blog would like to say ‘Buongiorno’ to Osteria del Tempo Perso, a new Italian restaurant which is finding its feet in the former Tony Marconi site in the Italian Centre on Glasgow’s John Street.
The new restaurant, whose name means the Inn of Lost Time, is a partnership between Marco and Matteo Iacobelli and Guiseppe ‘Sep’ Marini, director of the Tony Marconi restaurants.
The Italian Centre restaurant is the third from the Iacobellis. They started their first in Lazio twelve years ago and then expanded into Edinburgh in April, last year.
Authentic culinary experience
Apparently, the pair have appeared together several times on the Italian version of TV programme Ready Steady Cook and have won many awards in the past for their restaurant in Italy.
Commenting on the launch Marco Iacobelli, said; ‘Glasgow has been the centre of Italian eating in Scotland for many years and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our authentic culinary experience in the heart of the city.
‘The location is perfect and, as soon as Sep showed us the space, we knew he shared our vision in creating somewhere people could come and relax over delicious food and drink and lose themselves in the atmosphere – the very essence of our restaurants.’
