Sotto Deli
It is the sandwich half of a two-door Italian operation on Skirving Street, with Piatto's fresh pasta and pizza slices at number 44 and the deli counter at 42 (GlasgowWorld, FSA).
Why go
Skirving Street is a short run off Kilmarnock Road that has turned into a food strip: The Indian on Skirving Street has been there since 2016, Sear's Pizza opened its second Glasgow site at the end of 2025, and Spill The Beans does coffee and cake. GlasgowWorld's food desk has published its Skirving Street guide twice in 2026, in March and again in June, and both times the instruction is the same: get the pasta at Piatto, then "check out a sandwich at Sotto Deli next door." That is the extent of what any source we can read says about the deli. The menu, the prices and the opening hours live on Instagram and Uber Eats, and both of those refuse automated reading, so this entry is published thin and flagged for a re-pass.
Order this / avoid
- Order: a sandwich from the counter, which is the only order advice any citable source offers. Two specific sandwich names circulate online, but they trace back to an AI-generated travel aggregator, so they are not repeated here.
- Avoid: turning up on a schedule. No hours are published anywhere reachable. And if you want the pasta rather than the bread, that is Piatto at 44, a separate business with its own hygiene record.
What locals & experts say
- Declan McConville, GlasgowWorld (12 March 2026, repeated 30 June 2026):
Enjoy Italian street food at Piatto on Skirving Street. Sample freshly made pasta, coffee and these cracking pizza slices. Also check out a sandwich at Sotto Deli next door.
2 - Food hygiene: Pass, inspected 15 August 20233.
- No critic, chef, award or scored review exists for this deli. The one visit-based account found was a TikTok video, and its claim that halal items are prepared separately stays out of this entry until the shop says so itself.
Good to know
- Timing: unpublished. Treat it as a weekday lunch counter and check before a special trip.
- Booking: none, walk in.
- Getting there: 42 Skirving Street, off Kilmarnock Road, three minutes from Shawlands Cross. Piatto is the next door along.
Verdict
listed — An Italian sandwich counter at 42 Skirving Street, next door to Piatto's pasta and pizza-slice shop, on a short Shawlands street that has quietly turned into a food strip alongside The Indian on Skirving Street and Sear's Pizza's second Glasgow site. Declan McConville has twice told GlasgowWorld readers to get a sandwich here, which is real if slight endorsement. Nothing about the cooking is documented: no dish, no price, no critic, no award, because the menu is only on channels that block automated reading. It is on the board and it will stay there until somebody reads the window.
