Business Owner

Costanzo C. (Business Owner)

Costanzo is the larger than life owner of Don Costanzo.  Born and raised in Capri, Italy, Costanzo met and married a Glasgow girl which is what brought him to Scotland.  Costanzo managed various restaurants around Glasgow including the Spaghetti House and O Sole Mio before venturing out on his own with The Caprese.  After 26 years of running The Caprese with his family, Costanzo moved to Don Costanzo in Woodside Crescent, a mere 5 minutes drive from his old place.  Costanzo continues to run Don Costanzo as he did with The Caprese, a welcoming, homely atmosphere with authentic Italian food.
