| Body | So, years ago (2001) me and some mates travelled down from Aberdeenshire to see Limp Bizkit.
We stayed in a B&B in Dennistoun and, the following day, went for lunch in this Italian cafe/Cigar shop round the corner.
I remember it was on a long straight road and when you entered it had a long counter with loads and loads of different kinds/shapes/sizes of cigars like the sweet shop in Charlie and the chocolate factory. It was quite dark inside, lots of dark wood, stained glass etc.
You went round the corner and there were loads of red leather booths, the waiting staff were very traditional and wore black trousers, white shirt with an apron. I had the best lasagne of my life here and the waiter came out with a giant black pepper grinder.
I've tried searching google maps and pinned the guest down to Seton Guest house and if I'm right I think it's Cioa's on Duke Street (which now looks super modern but has the same style booths, just a different colour, and the staff appear to dress the same (there's even a photo of a staff member with a giant grinder). It also says they've been there about 90 years.
It seems to be a deli/cafe now rather than the cigar shop. Can anyone tell me if I've got the right place? I'm struggling to find any old photos of it to confirm. |
