Exciting new Italian restaurant to take over Raffaele's site in Bearsden

Diners in Bearden will have a brand new Italian to win over their hearts (and their stomachs) after the much-loved Raffaele's Restaurant closed last month.

Oi Mamma will take over the site of the much-loved restaurant on Milngavie Road with a vibrant new offering that will focus on classic Italian recipes with a "modern Mediterranean twist".

It's set to open on February 8, with a "bold and glamorous" design, reflecting the fun menu, signature cocktails, and lively atmosphere of the new Instagram-friendly restaurant.

Dishes will include the likes of Nduja Hummus, Sourdough flatbread; Whole Lemon Sole on the bone served with Brown Butter, Shrimps, Samphire, Amalfi lemon and Tagliolini with Pecorino Basil & Creamy Burrata.

The team say that every day, the kitchen will make fresh pasta, and a variety of pizzas will be available, all made with dough that has been proofed for 72 hours to maximize flavour and to ensure a "light and distinct crust".

Oi Mamma director, Amalia Colaluca, who also runs the Loveable Rogue with fellow entrepreneur Joe Lazzerini, said: "Oi Mamma, a loud and bold Italian eatery that serves a 'new look' for the neighbourhood, will open this month. Our family-friendly restaurant will be vibrant from the inside out, providing local residents with a new place to eat and drink"

Open daily, from 12pm until late, the website is open for people to sign up for first access to bookings.

Head chef Giovanni Di Camillo added: "We aim to honour the team's traditional family roots and warm Italian hospitality while also celebrating the much-loved neighbourhood's personality. Our menu will be simple and flavourful, with classic Italian crowd-pleasers and a celebration of Italian produce".
