It comes after the firm behind Lucali in Giffnock and Andiamo in Milngavie was placed into administration.
The business operating the two restaurants, HMS (883) Limited, had been “streamlined” by its director, but it “was unable to sustain the historical debt burden”.
Gordon Thomson and Gareth Harris of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory were appointed joint administrators.

The administrator said: “Based in Glasgow, the company owned two Italian restaurants, Lucali in Giffnock and Andiamo in Milngavie, employing 50 members of staff.”
The joint administrators have completed a sale of the business and company assets to GJF Group Limited, “ensuring all staff transfer over to the new company”.
Two Scottish companies have revealed a merger deal.
One of the companies declared the merger created a UK “rarity”. Both businesses are based at Glasgow’s Skypark.
Product design agency Filament said it had “bolstered and broadened” its capabilities by merging with software development consultancy Arceptive.
The addition of Arceptive takes Filament’s headcount to 29.
Filament said that, following a year of integration and alignment, it expects the merger to double its turnover from last year’s £1.75 million by the end of 2027.
Is it too early to begin dreaming of a new future for fire-struck Union Corner in Glasgow? Asks Scott Wright.
Glasgow is still reeling from the aftermath of the blaze that has destroyed a celebrated piece of Victorian architecture on Union Street next to Central Station.
There is still naturally much focus at this stage on supporting the businesses impacted by the fire and safeguarding the area while the demolition of the listed building takes place. All eyes are on Network Rail, too, as commuters await the green light that will allow high platform services to resume at Scotland’s busiest railway station.
But it has not taken long for speculation to begin over the future of such a prominent site in the heart of the city centre, with one commentator declaring that the regeneration of the area offers an “enormous opportunity” for Glasgow.
While it is widely acknowledged that the devastation caused by the fire has dealt a severe blow to a city only that was only recently showing signs of recovery from the ravages of the pandemic, some observers are looking to the future and the possibility that something inspirational might rise from the ashes.
Already, social media is awash with suggestions of what could, in time, replace a building that had held a special place in the hearts of Glaswegians.
AROUND THE GREENS

Golf has been played on the linksland at Monifieth since at least the 17th century, with the first formal course created in 1845. These classic tracks are now under the direction of one of the youngest leaders in Scottish club management.
In 2023, at the age of 23, Viki Hart took over as general manager of the venerable Monifieth Golf Links and quickly became a rising star among the sport’s new leaders in Scotland.
She gained her Club Management Diploma the following year and has since been credited for modernising operations at the traditional links venue.
This has included the introduction of a five-year “reinvention” of the Medal course to restore strategic interest and strengthen its championship credentials, with similar work to follow on the Ashludie course.
Ms Hart explains what brought her to Monifieth, what changes have taken place on the course this past winter, and her ultimate goals for the venue.
