- Vittoria ‘On the Bridge’
The perfect restaurant to experience a real taste of Italy. - Vittoria ‘On the Walk’
One of Edinburgh’s best known Italian Restaurants.
Vittoria
19 George IV Bridge, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EN
'It's not that big,' the waiter protests, seeing your eyes pop as he sets before you a magnificent ham shank reposing on a pile of borlotti beans and attended by five little mounds of herb-flecked mash. And this could follow three golf ball-sized…
La Favorita
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
The glow from the twin log-fired ovens is the first indication that pizza is taken seriously at this Leith Walk eatery. La Favorita combines the lightest, crispest bases (also available gluten-free) with a long list of both classic and more inventive…
Zanzero
15 North West Circus Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6SX
Opened in 2007, this is the younger, slightly brasher sibling of the city centre establishment Centotre, owned by Victor and Carina Contini. Many aspects of the two are consistent, including the insistence on high quality, largely organic local produce…
Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè
11 Multrees Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3DQ
Centrally located in the swanky shopping precinct of Multrees Walk, Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè exudes a simple sophistication that keeps it at the top of Edinburgh's A-list of Italian eateries. Its sleek chrome and wood-panelled interior, live jazz and…
Vittoria
113 Brunswick Street, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HR
Professional waiting staff, the babble of Italian voices and food that remains loyal to its roots – close your eyes and it could be Lucca rather than Leith. Vittoria on the Walk has become an Edinburgh institution over the last four decades and now, for…
Centotre
103 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
With its funky hot-pink walls, edgy uplighting and smooth background jazz, über-cool Centotre dresses to impress, and equally style-conscious diners pack out the place pretty much every night of the week. The downside of this popularity is that smaller…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
The Valvona & Crolla dynasty just goes from strength to strength. In this modern diner-style café Marina Crolla offers the best of home-cooked Italian food. Be it panini, risotto or one of the fabulous pastas, you can eat in or takeaway with style.
Rapido
77–79 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
The usual chip shop favourites are neatly arrayed in sparkling stainless steel counters, but Rapido's vibrant blue and orange frontage promises – and delivers – more than your average chippy. The wide-ranging menu truly does offer something for…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
Eating at Bellini, with its grand, welcoming dining room complete with chandeliers, candle-light and background opera music, is an experience to be savoured. This New Town gem is no place for a quick, cheap meal, so settle in and soak up the sumptuous…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
The casual, laid-back atmosphere of Ecco Vino is rarely achieved elsewhere in the capital. The chatter of the patrons and the clatter of the glasses encourage you to take a seat, take a menu, and take a glass . . . or a bottle. The wine list is as…
Ristorante Gennaro
64 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JR
The busy Grassmarket area attracts a mix of tourists, revellers and locals, and the same can be said of this family-run establishment. It claims to offer a true taste of Italy, and that starts from the moment you are greeted by one of a clutch of…
Giuliano's
18–19 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
Hidden behind a modest entrance with green neon signs and a rather retro ice-cream counter, the cavernous back room of this lively restaurant – a cheerful mix of tartan carpets and Italian holiday snap posters – comes as something of a surprise. At…
Gordon's Trattoria
231 High Street, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PE
Gordon Scott is keen to promote his restaurant as a family venue. And there is no risk that he will fall foul of the trade descriptions act, with brother Gary imparting his profound industry knowledge, daughters Daniela and Vanessa now involved in the…
Zucca
15–17 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AX
Zucca, which is situated next door to the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh's West End, opened in September 2007. The brainchild of Richard Glennie, previously of Santini's, it comprises two very separate areas: on the ground floor there's an easy-going café…
Mamma's American Pizza Company (Takeaway)
139 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4EB
Since 1985, Mamma's has been making delicious, satisfying pizzas but has sometimes been let down by a lack of consistency. It offers a wide range of toppings which you can mix and match to your own taste, from the usual lines of pepperoni, olives and…
Bella Mbriana
7–11 East London Street,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4BN
This fairly recent arrival at the foot of Broughton Street has no need of background music as it already resonates with lively chatter and the click of busy waiters' heels on terracotta. It's easy to see why: Rosario and Ciro Sartore's uncomplicated…
La Bruschetta
13 Clifton Terrace, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DR
Considering its name, it comes as little surprise that the bruschette at Giovanni Cariello's deceptively modest-looking Haymarket restaurant are something special, the Napoletana balancing the salty tang of anchovies and capers against the sweetness of…
Il Castello
36 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
Sitting in the shadow of the castle after which it is named, and in a prime spot to capture theatre and cinema goers, ll Castello has a steady flow of passing trade. The compact, split-level 70-cover venue, decorated with moody, black and white…
La Concha
18–24 Deanhaugh Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
It may sound Spanish, but La Concha actually takes its name from the sister of chef/owner Richard Morana, and its flavour is predominantly Italian. Opened in 2005 and stylishly extended to double the capacity without compromising its friendly…
Librizzi
69 North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LJ
This chic New Town restaurant with its crisp table linen, brass chandeliers and large, arched windows looking out onto Queen Street has a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Service is discreet but attentive and there are lots of quiet, cosy corners in which…
Mamma's American Pizza Company
30 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
The Grassmarket may have a reputation as a focal point for stags and hens, but Mamma's is firmly family-friendly and pointedly opposed to such rowdiness. Inside, it is buzzing with parents and kids alike having a good time. The cartoon murals of various…
Osteria Di Domenico
30 Sandport Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6EP
Domenico's name has changed slightly to reflect the new ownership – Stefano Di Domenico has joined his wife Dellita at the helm of this hidden gem following the retirement of his father-in-law. However, the cosy atmosphere and well deserved reputation…
Valvona & Crolla Caffè Bar
19 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
The Valvona & Crolla imprimatur remains definitive of all things excellent in food and wine, with a renown that draws visitors from far beyond the Edinburgh foodie scene. Behind the narrow shop front at the top of Elm Row, the deli's towering shelves…
Anima
11 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Anima isn't your average Friday night disco chippy where you shout over the pumping beat to order your salt'n'sauce. In fact, there's nothing average about this designer Italian takeaway at all. Situated in the heart of the New Town, Anima is a…
Papoli
244a Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
A simple, neat, single-room diner not far from Haymarket – an area of town that draws both business and local residential clientele – Papoli is a new venture from the same husband-and-wife team who had previously run Pizza Primo on the same site. With…
Sadivino
52 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
Alessandro and Carmen's 'mi casa su casa' philosophy sets the warm-hearted tone at their Italian/Spanish café. Colourful jars of pesto hug up to bottles of brindisi and other Italian fine wines and flirt for attention next to the panettone in the…
Zizzi
42–45 Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Zizzi's three Edinburgh locations near cinemas and theatres hint at the transient nature of most of their diners. However, it would be wrong to write these stylish restaurants off as a quick stopping-off point for food before the latest blockbuster or…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Nearly 30 years on, Bar Roma still knows how to throw a party and remains a popular venue for West End work functions and lively get-togethers. With its sprawling, brightly lit dining area and pulsing pop music, it's by no means intimate, and newcomers…
Jolly Ristorante & Pizzeria
9 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
Offering three courses for a fiver is a sure-fire way to please a crowd, and local office workers, families and pensioners pour in to Jolly Ristorante & Pizzeria on Elm Row to make the most of the large portions and low prices. A simple but substantial…
Pizza Express
111 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AS
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Positano
85–87 Newington Road,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QW
If you are eager to experience some proper Italian hospitality, this is the place to come. The charming service, combined with the cheerful exuberance of the proprietor Guiseppe Votta (who also owns Il Castello on Castle Terrace), gives this relatively…
Ristorante Sambuca
101–103 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QG
The stark lighting and uninspiring décor of this unpretentious restaurant at the student end of Newington doesn't do justice to the homely cooking on offer. Although the list of 'today's specials' doesn't actually change daily – or even monthly – it…
Lazio
95 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AW
Despite a recent change of ownership, Lazio continues to offer the same consistent standards that have served it well for more than two decades. Its location, close to the city's financial district, ensures a steady flow of lunchtime diners taking…
Paparazzi
169–173 Gilmore Place, Viewforth,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9PW
Viewforth's mostly residential Gilmore Place isn't the first location most restaurateurs would think of when starting a new venture, but Paparazzi's owners obviously knew they were onto a winner when they opened its doors back in 2005. The unassuming…
La Partenope
96 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AX
La Partenope's new afternoon trading hours offer West End nine-to-fivers a convenient haven for a late-in-the-day work meeting. But be warned – once you sample a little something from the interesting nibbles menu and extensive regional wine list, you…
Pizza Express
1 Deanhaugh Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LU
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Pizza Express
32 Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4QS
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Trattoria Siciliana
5a Union Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LT
With a door that won't close, the lingering smell of cigar smoke, glaring lights and a disinterested waiter, Trattoria Siciliana doesn't make a great first impression. Frustratingly, remedies to the situation don't appear thick on the ground. Staff…
Dolce e Salato
101/102 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AX
Goethe once said that a man who has seen Naples can never be sad. Dolce e Salato, Rosario and Maria Sartore's new Pasticceria e Rosticceria in Dalry, transports each of its visitors to a very happy corner of Naples and invites them to linger over a…
La Fontana
1 Howard Street, Canonmills, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5JP
The arrival of La Fontana in mid-2006 continues the Mediterranean tradition for this prominent, but ever-changing Canonmills site. The neon 'Ristorante Italiano' sets the tone for a faux-brick bar and rousing Italian pop music. There are more than two…
Giuliano's on the Shore
1 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
With its prime location opposite Leith's bustling shore and its family-friendly atmosphere, Giuliano's attracts a steady stream of regulars throughout the week, including lots of family groups. Live music from Italian singer Roberto Enzo on Monday and…
La Lanterna
83 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EE
While there's a tide of upmarket, designer trattorias sweeping the capital, the hearty, rustic charm of a place like La Lanterna in the city centre could easily be overlooked. The cosy interior, with low lighting and varnished wooden furniture, is miles…
Salvo Caffè Restaurant
4 Earl Grey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BN
With the Cameo Cinema just blocks away, Salvo Caffè's Tollcross location is ideal for treating kids to a pre-movie knickerbocker glory or sticky chocolate sundae. The black, white and red themed décor is kitsch and cosy, with Marilyn Monroe the clear…
Il Tricolore
63 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BZ
The cheerful green, white and red stripes of the Italian flag help this cosy family-run restaurant stand out among the hustle and bustle of busy Dalry Road. By day the friendly service, well-priced children's portions and good baby-changing facilities…
Zizzi
1–3 Food Terrace, Ocean Terminal,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JJ
Zizzi's three Edinburgh locations near cinemas and theatres hint at the transient nature of most of their diners. However, it would be wrong to write these stylish restaurants off as a quick stopping-off point for food before the latest blockbuster or…
D'Antonio's
63 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
A brief sojourn to Italy last summer for owners Antonello D'Antonio and Carol Lawrie resulted in this elegant shorefront restaurant being transformed into an American-Italian style diner for a few months. But the chef-patron and front-of-house manager…
Frankie's Restaurant
27 Bread Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AL
It would be very easy to walk past this understated restaurant hidden among some of the more dubious haunts of Bread Street, but that would be a mistake. Owner Celena Collins gives a personal welcome at the door, in a nod to the overall experience of…
Gusto
135 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JH
Gusto, recently opened on the spot previously occupied by EstEstEst, is a stylish addition to the Italian restaurants in central Edinburgh. The sophisticated bar at the front of the restaurant is not exclusive to diners, and the dark wood, high tables…
Pizza Express
Waterview House, 38 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QU
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Pizza Express
23 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SB
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Ti Amo
16 Nicolson Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
It's hard to imagine a restaurant of any other nationality getting away with calling itself 'I Love You', although whether Ti Amo would really make good on its promise to accept 'green stamps or IOUs' in place of cash or credit card may be debatable.
Zizzi
Building 5A, Edinburgh Quay, Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9RU
Zizzi's three Edinburgh locations near cinemas and theatres hint at the transient nature of most of their diners. However, it would be wrong to write these stylish restaurants off as a quick stopping-off point for food before the latest blockbuster or…
Santini Restaurant
8 Conference Square,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AN
Saddled with a reputation for being stylish but expensive, Santini – now a single venue created from the two that existed previously – has often failed to earn the attention it deserves for its food. The glass front of the dining room lends it a…
Cucina LC
68 Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LQ
Two little trees mark the entrance of Cucina LC on Haymarket Terrace. Inside, the walls are peppered prettily with butterflies. Comfortable tables and chairs and softer seats by the large window looking out on to the busy street create an atmosphere…
