Limmy spotted dining at historic Glasgow city centre restaurant

Scottish comedian and writer Limmy has been spotted enjoying an Italian meal at a much-loved Glasgow Italian favourite.

The Carnwadric-born comedian dined at La Lanterna on Hope Street who have been serving locals and visitors to the city for over 50 years. Last week, he announced on social media that he was planning a new crowdfunded online sketch show called ‘Limmy's Homemade Show’.

La Lanterna is Glasgow’s oldest family-run Italian restaurant and has been no stranger to welcoming famous faces to the restaurant as the likes of Paolo Nutini, Michael Keaton and Steven Gerrard have all dined at the Glasgow institution.

Taking to social media, La Lanterna said: “What a pleasure it was to host Brian Limond for a delightful Italian dinner at La Lanterna Hope Street!  “Thank you for joining us Brian Limond for an unforgettable meal, we can’t wait to welcome you back soon for more delicious moments!”

Limmy is not the only famous face to have stopped by one of La Lanterna’s two restaurants over the weekend as Celtic forward Daizen Maeda was also pictured enjoying a meal at their West End eatery after his Celtic side defeated St Mirren 3-0 in Paisley.
