Description

Description

O Sole Mio is recognised as a real Glasgow institution and has been trading for over 60 years (since 1965).

This will fitted restaurant is available by way of assignation and would suit both an owner operator or multiple operator given its strong trading performance.

Location

O Sole Mio is located on Bath Street, within Glasgow City Centre. The site is positioned just a few minutes walk west of Buchanan Street and Buchanan Galleries placing it in the heart of Glasgow's main shopping and business district.

The location is particularly popular for pre-theatre dining, office lunches and general social meetings.

Glasgow Queen Street station is around a minute's walk with Glasgow Central around 15 minutes in the opposite direction.

Internal Details

A fully fitted restaurant consisting of 52 covers via a mixture of moveable tables and chairs, and fitted seating. The existing layout can cater for both comfortable and spacious dining as well as private parties and small functions.

As you enter the restaurant there is a bar opposite as well as a fully equipped commercial kitchen, to the rear, which has all of the necessary appliances to trade.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated with a modern colour scheme, wood flooring and large windows to the front which allow for plenty of natural lighting.

Also located on the ground floor is a disabled WC.

A staircase to the right of the bar leads to the basement which has male and female customer toilets, ample storage and a large kitchen prep area with walk-in fridge.

Fixtures & Fittings

All fixtures and fittings are included within the sale excluding any personal items. A full inventory will be provided when a deal has been agreed.

External Details

Prominent ground floor commercial premises forming part of a traditional stone built tenement in a well established urban location.

The property benefits from a wide street facing frontage with full height glazing and a distinctive awning, providing excellent visibility and strong pedestrian appeal.

The unit includes an attractive external seating area to the front, enclosed by branded barriers, enhancing its presence and trading potential.

The surrounding area comprises a mix of complementary commercial occupiers, with residential accommodation above, contributing to consistent footfall.

The Opportunity

O Sole Mio occupies a highly prominent and established restaurant location within a busy city centre streetscape, offering a compelling platform for future growth and enhancement.

Our client has been part of the business for over 60 years and is now selling due to genuine retirement.

O Sole Mio is a well known Italian restaurant serving up dishes such as fine pizza, pasta and seafood via their a la carte, lunch and pre-theatre menus. The restaurant has been recently refurbished to a high standard and therefore there is no requirement for any capex.

The business offers strong potential to grow turnover through the strategic use of food delivery platforms such as Uber Eats and Just Eat, complementing existing dine‑in and takeaway trade.

The existing kitchen equipment and recognisable brand are well positioned to support home delivery services, extending reach beyond the immediate street catchment. The prep area situated at basement level could also be further utilised to create other offerings or alternatively could be sub-let to another operator for outside catering.

Staff

The sale will be subject to TUPE, with all existing staff transferring to the purchaser on their current terms and conditions, ensuring continuity of operations.

Trading Information

Full trading information will be provided to interested parties after a formal viewing.
