Anna and Dean Parker, co-owners of Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant Celentano’s, are celebrating its fourth birthday this month.

Located at Glasgow’s Cathedral Square, the Parkers’ acclaimed venture is Italian-inspired, and built on their ‘passion for sharing good food and drinks with family and friends’.

Summer dining at Celentano’s

Celentano’s aims to offer ‘clever but wholesome’ dishes and refined cocktails, made using the best seasonal ingredients.

To mark the four-year anniversary – and its continued success – the Parkers will be offering a complimentary Celentano’s Negroni (or NOgroni) with every lunch booking on Saturday 26th of July.

Celentano’s is at Glasgow’s historic Cathedral Square

Those Negronis, like many of the drinks at Celentano’s, will be made using homemade liqueurs and cordials, made with herbs grown in the restaurant garden and honey made from the bees the Parkers keep, cultivated personally by Dean in the courtyard.
