Hamilton is set to welcome a new restaurant and bar this November with the opening of Luciano’s and the adjoining Vesp Bar at 67 Cadzow Street.

The new venue is the latest addition from The Meraki Restaurant Group, the team behind Luciano’s in Burnside, Cocktails & Steaks in Uddingston, and Mr MacGregors in Netherlee. The group took over Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen on the same site in 2023 and have been working behind the scenes on the relaunch.

Fallon Cowley, Director of Meraki Restaurant Group said, “Hamilton deserves a venue that combines authentic Italian dining with an energetic social scene.

“With Luciano’s and Vespa Bar, we’ve created a place where people can share exceptional food, discover inventive cocktails, and enjoy live music in the heart of the town.”

Luciano’s Burnside opened in 2021 and has built up a strong local following. The Hamilton site is expected to follow the same model with a focus on customer service and classic italian food, while Vesp Bar will serve cocktails, pre-dinner aperitivi, as well as offering live music every weekend.
