Allan Bell, the mastermind behind the beloved Glasgow eatery Taco Mazama, has decided to dip his toes into a whole new world of cuisine: fresh Italian egg pasta. His latest project, Pasticcio, located at 378 Byres Road, opened its doors just a few weeks ago, offering a unique blend of fresh ingredients and casual dining at prices that won’t break the bank.
Not really sure why this matters, but Bell admitted to The Herald that despite lacking experience in Italian restaurants, his love for pasta and Italian cuisine inspired him to fill a gap in the market for fresh and convenient pasta options. He expressed his desire to create a space where customers can easily grab a quick pasta lunch or enjoy a leisurely meal in the evening, all while using high-quality ingredients and maintaining a laid-back atmosphere.
Fresh pasta is the star of the show at Pasticcio, with Bell’s team whipping up delicious pasta dishes in just around ten minutes. This quick turnaround time not only ensures efficiency but also caters to customers looking for a convenient dining experience. With Bell’s background in the Glasgow dining scene, including the successful Taco Mazama franchise, Pasticcio is poised to bring a fresh take on Italian cuisine to the bustling West End.
