Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
Serving inexpensive Italian classics, this city centre restaurant has an unexpectedly low-key and intimate atmosphere considering its location just off the bustling eastern end of Sauchiehall Street. The menu proudly recalls that the likes of Dean…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Having only opened in 2006, the often packed dining room here on weeknights suggests that this restaurant from the DiMaggio team has hit the ground running. Its advantageous city centre location and smart setting attracts well-dressed couples and large…
Anima

L'Ariosto
92-94 Mitchell Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Entering the elegant marble doorway to be greeted by well groomed staff, the feeling is that L'Ariosto is designed to impress, and with almost 40 years of practice, it really does. Seating surrounds the dance floor in a dining area constructed to…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll, Southside,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
Taking pride of place within the menu, a black and white photograph circa 1930 gives some context to the attractive Southside property that now houses this well-designed pizzeria. The former bank is surrounded by potentially dwarfing developments but…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Now into its third decade, the Cugini family's Bar Roma remains one of the big boys in the Edinburgh-Italian playground. Assertive white table cloths and stiff napkins underpin a surprisingly vibrant West End Italian restaurant with a consistently busy…

This Southside favourite, a regular on our hitlist, has mastered a winning recipe of exceptional food served in stylish, welcoming surroundings by conscientious staff. The menu is a fusion of Italian and Scottish cooking, with lasagne and antipasti…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
The Rest started out life as a busy tram station and, after winning a battle against demolition in the 1990s, was born again as one of the Southside's best-loved Italian restaurants. The busy intersection on which it sits belies a relaxed warmth and…
Bella Mbriana
7-11 East London Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
Located in what will surely be an eye-catching site at the foot of Broughton Street by the Mansfield Place roundabout, this is the new venture from a team of four partners including Rosario Sartore, the man who set up the highly regarded La Partenope on…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
It's not often that one establishment can cater for almost ever occasion, but Bella Napoli gives it a good shot. This family-run Southside favourite is fronted by a colourful, brightly-lit café and delicatessen - the latter selling an array of Italian…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
The sea bass is beautiful. The belly is as pearly white as the moment the fish was pulled from the sea. The pewter-coloured skin is lightly charred and fennel seeds and the merest whiff of earthy truffle oil fragrance the perfectly cooked flesh. It's a…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The window for open air dining in Glasgow may be brief, but when it's ajar, the Big Blue cashes in on its sun-trap location just above the banks of the River Kelvin. Even when the weather isn't conducive to eating outdoors, the brightly coloured mosaics…
La Bruschetta
13 Clifton Terrace, Haymarket, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DR
Stressed-out commuters would do well to follow West End residents to La Bruschetta, a tiny, cosy haven, just across the road from the bustle of Haymarket Station. Even during the week the bright, living room-sized restaurant is often packed and has the…
Buongiorno
1012 Pollokshaws Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2HG
This café-restaurant on one of the Southside's main arteries may be small - despite a clever use of mirrors in its modern, white-tiled interior creating an illusion of greater space - but it's big on choice. There's an extensive brunch and lunch menu…
Cafe Antipasti
337 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8QU
The resolutely unpretentious Byres Road branch of Antipasti, dotted with fairy lights, offers alongside its fine coffees one of the West End's best opportunities for people-watching through its tall shopfront windows. The menu also plays its part in…
Cafe Antipasti
305 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
City Centre,
G2 3HQ
Glasgow's city centre Café Antipasti has different owners than the West End original, but it follows a fairly similar formula: informal and inviting, contemporary but not too cool, serving decent food at a fair price. A no-booking policy may mean you…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Much to the delight of locals who have long relied on Café Cherubini for sustenance, this traditional Italian coffee house has now re-opened after a recent face-lift. The new owner, Mark Barratt, is a musician and artist, so the place shouts 'Viva…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
Even cold and blustery days yield to the warm welcome awaiting all and sundry inside Café Marina. Like the best sort of Italian hostess, owner Marina Crolla (of the Valvona & Crolla family) wants to make even a simple lunch special. She proudly offers a…
Cafe Mediterraneo
73 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Bang in the middle of bustling Broughton Street, this perky, seemingly small café actually seats up to 40 diners. The neat front room and bigger room at the back are simply decorated with wooden tables and cheerful sky-blue walls. The pleasant décor and…
Il Castello
36 Castle Terrace, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
A large Italian flag billowing above the door of Il Castello on Castle Terrace draws in tourists, theatre-goers and many regulars. It's a combination of diners that gives the place a good-humoured buzz, even on quieter nights. The split-level restaurant…
Centotre
103 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
So committed are Victor and Carina Contini to creating the fresh, authentic food that is ubiquitous in Italy, they ship the majority of their produce from Milan each week. And not from just any supplier - they make it a point to get to know the…
La Concha
18-24 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
Stockbridge's La Concha needs no introduction to its many fans, and now that owner Richard Morana has knocked through the wall to double the size of his formerly tiny restaurant, there's room for many more. Cool new décor in muted monochrome adds gloss…
