  More likely just Egyptian. Egyptian influence can be discerned in a great many nineteenth-century buildings, from the Egyptian Hall in London to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I think we'd need more than just obelisks to justify leaping to Gallifrey as the explanation.

  One of the reviews said it's based on a real Glasgow restaurant that Steven Moffat and others used to go to.

  Was Mancini's Restaurant supposed to be an Italian restaurant? If so, where are the Roman pillars?

  Were we told that it was an Italian restaurant?
  
  There was a huge migration to Glasgow from Italy in the early part of the twentieth century, so I'm sure there are many restaurants in Glasgow with Italian names, but not all necessarily serving Italian food.
