  Can't say enough good things about Baffo! Went in tonight, on their first day of being open and was blown away by the service, the food, and the place itself! Our server was excellent, very nice and attentive, and the entire staff was friendly. The food was great, my boyfriend and I split the mozzarella fritti, the croquettes, the arancini, and a pizza col baffo (mozzarella, rocket, prosciutto). They were all delicious and all tasted fresh! The pricing was very reasonable as well which never hurts. The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant was also beautiful and very welcoming. My boyfriend and I are huge fans and happy that we live so close by, for our soon to be frequent visits.
  
  Welcome to the neighbourhood, Baffo! Will definitely be back soon and regularly!

  Pizza is definitely the food trend of 2016 and another pizzeria opening means a happy Rocco G :)
  
  I had virtually no expectations for Baffo appart from the fact that they had a very cool name (meaning  moustache in English). Inside, the restaurant is modern and vibrant and i noticed a very nice wood burning oven at the back which is key to a good pizza.
  
  Its probably not fair to compare Baffo to Paesano as the types of pizza they prepare are rather different. While Paesano do a classic Neapolitan style pizza, which is wonderfully soft and doughy, Baffo's is crispier, drier and with a mucher thinner crust. Therefore for people who dont like the former they may enjoy Baffo more.
  
  My visit to Baffo was a bit mixed. Service was really slow but the staff were nice and attentive which made the wait a bit easier. When my pizza arrived, I enjoyed the flavours but felt it was a little dry and over cooked. The ingredients were of good quality and so I think there is real potential here. Another positive is the selection of Italians craft beers, perfect with a pizza!
  
  I ended my meal with a tiramisu and must say it was exceptional. The perfect balance of espresso, booze and biscuit, yummy!!
  
  As Baffo is a relatively new place, its surely only going to get better. Really look forward to getting back there soon once everyone has settled in.

  Lovely wee place! Stopped here unexpectedly for lunch. Felt well-attended by staff and have overstuffed myself because the pizza was so good. It's your next favourite spot for lunch, honest.

  I have been there twice and now I can confirm, I am a fan!
  
  Lovely interior and decoration, the restaurant is not as big as i expected but still comfortable enough. Staff is very friendly and attentive, but I found service a bit slow both times i visited - maybe i shouldn't compare it to Paesano Pizza since they got more than one wood fire oven, but we waited for our pizza around 20 minutes, and also sides (first time we had fries and croquette, and last time just fries) took quite a bit to be served. That was my only issue, but i guess they just opened few months ago and they still need to "get it right", if you know what i mean.
  
  Pizza is really good, not the Neapolitan kind of pizza with big bready crust (Paesano style), but the traditional Italian one - thin and crispy. They have a bigger selection compared to Paesano, and also offered the option to go for either 12inch round pizza or hald metre pizza. I have only tried the 12inch one for now, but will definitely give the other one a go next time!
  
  They also serve pasta dishes, seen them a few and they look tasty - maybe will try that as well sooner or later! Dessert wise, i tried their cannoli and yummy, it was amazing, and also affogato was okay and really nice presented.
  
  Overall, nice place, good to have another great pizza place in Glasgow, especially in the West End!

  One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in my 43 years!! Considering we took up half the restaurant with 20 people they handled it in their stride. Very friendly staff whom we had a good laugh with and they handled all our mental kids with ease. The pizzas were great... once we figured out the Italian menu!
  Why only 4 stars then you ask? One of the reasons I picked this restaurant was the mention of craft beers which they did have but the prices were extortionate. Only Menebrea was reasonable the rest were £6 to £16.50!!!
  Anyway even with that I'll definitely be back soon. Fantastic to see a really well run business, well done Baffo.
