“Al Dente Your Ego”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2014 NEW
As a resident of Northern Ireland I was looking forward to my trip across the water to the fine, upstanding and staunch cultural epicentre that we know as the dear green(sic) place - Glasgow.
Arriving not so fresh off the ferry we found ourselves a most remarkable place to dine - Qua, in Ingram Street.
We were greeted warmly by our host and upon removing our balaclavas found the atmosphere warm and inviting. The food was quite exquisite and our group could find little fault with the fare on offer. A personal highlight was the mussels cooked to perfection with just the right orange hue. At the end of the meal I also thoroughly enjoyed the fine coffee perfectly complemented with the - I`m presuming - home baked Garibaldi. The revolutionary biscuits of Italy have rarely been so reverentially celebrated. Overall the quality of the food and untypically Italian attention to service were so superb that it seems almost churlish to mention that I felt my linguine was more Il Dulce than Al Dente, but , as Joe Dolce might say - Its a nice a place, shaddap a ya face.

QuaRestaurant, Manager at Qua Italian Restaurant, responded to this review, yesterday
After reading your latest "contribution" (5+ in a week now from the same person using newly created accounts who seems to click his own reviews as being helpful) it is clear to me that you should seek professional help (online version of multiple personality disorder?). You also appear to think you are amusing/interesting.
By the way, may I highlight to you that one should only ever use “[sic]” immediately after or as part of a quote. Let me now give you a proper example: uninteresting tripadvisor reviewer benito m embarrassingly appeared not to know how to spell/pronounce Benito Mussolini’s moniker (“Il Duce”
when stating in his review that his “linguine was more Il Dulce [sic] than Al Dente”.
You’re not half as clever as you think you are.
