Celentano’s, the Glasgow restaurant that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand shortly after opening in 2021 and was later named Scottish Restaurant of the Year at the 2025 Scran Awards, has completed a move from the city’s east end to new, larger premises at the Arthouse Hotel on Bath Street.
What has changed
The restaurant’s relocation brings its kitchen and front-of-house to a more central site in Glasgow City, closer to the main commercial and hotel districts. The business is led by chef director Dean Parker and managing director Anna Parker, who opened the original site in 2021 and maintained the Bib Gourmand accolade from Michelin since that initial recognition.
- New location: Arthouse Hotel, Bath Street, Glasgow City centre
- Original opening: 2021 (east end)
- Accolades: Michelin Bib Gourmand retained; 2025 Scran Awards Scottish Restaurant of the Year
Menu and culinary focus
Celentano’s continues to advertise an Italian-inspired, ingredient-led menu. Dishes highlighted by the restaurant include elements such as crispy chicken skins with turnip and kombu ketchup; agnolotti filled with Mossgiel ricotta, courgette, green olive and pumpkin seed; dayboat monkfish; and an affogato combining malted barley gelato with chocolate mousse and cold brew coffee. The move to larger premises is intended to make these offerings more easily accessible to a wider cross-section of diners, from local residents to visitors staying in city-centre hotels.
Local impact
The relocation is notable for several reasons. Moving to Bath Street places a respected, award-winning independent restaurant at the heart of the city centre, which may:
- increase footfall for nearby businesses and contribute to evening and lunch trade;
- offer more accessible dining for workers, residents and tourists who favour central locations;
- signal confidence in Glasgow City’s hospitality sector by a small but high-profile operator.
Celentano’s has kept its focus on ingredient-led Italian cooking while moving into larger, more accessible premises in the city centre.
