Vittoria

19 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EN

See Vittoria Leith Walk review

La Favorita

1.2 miles
325–331 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8SA

The hectic craft of kneading and folding pizza dough is the first thing you see on entering this busy Leith Walk eatery. Walk past the front counter, through the lively, three-pronged dining area, and you'll notice most diners are working their way…

Vittoria

1.1 miles
113 Brunswick Street, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH7 5HR

The latest addition to the Vittoria family comes in the shape of a stylish and atmospheric basement wine bar, Divino Enoteca, in the belly of their George IV bridge outlet. Divino is proof positive that the Vittoria formula is a winning one, and the…

QuattroZero

1.8 miles
40 Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4RA

Opened late in 2012, the major draw at this modern diner-style restaurant is the wood-fired pizza oven and notably low prices. A rich and chunky chicken broth followed by pizza or pasta for under £6 to sit in at lunchtime is remarkable. Pizzas emerge…

Centotre

1.6 miles
103 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3ES

The pillars holding aloft the Georgian ceiling at Centotre and clever use of booths provide nooks and crannies for romantic tete-a-tetes and broader spaces for parties and business lunches. There is a clear focus on the ingredients here: mozzarella…

Giuliano's

1.1 miles
18–19 Union Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3NQ

There’s a reason Giuliano’s has been a stalwart of the Edinburgh Italian scene since 1990. There is a vibrant buzz to the long, sprawling restaurant, which is effectively two adjoined rooms decorated with pictures representing each of the 22 regions of…

Mamma's American Pizza Company

1.3 miles
30 Grassmarket, Edinburgh, EH1 2JU

This Grassmarket stalwart seems to exert a gravitational pull on small to medium sized groups of both locals and tourists looking for an impromptu food stop. Starters like sweet potato fries and macho nachos are decent enough, but their function is to…

Amarone

1.3 miles
13 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH2 2BH

Amarone is fighting to become a go-to venue for all things Italian on George Street. From the suited post-work crowd to hungry shoppers, the cavernous former bank has more than enough room in its 200-plus covers. The restaurant has an open pizza kitchen…

Strada

1.6 miles
15 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3AH

Although there is a corporate feel to Strada’s clean lines and functional décor, the spectacular view of Edinburgh Castle from its outdoor tables is surely a one-off. And when it comes to the food, quality is a notch above the standard fare served up by…

Bar Roma

1.8 miles
39a Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4RA

Family-run Bar Roma is a place to watch waiters conduct crowds of obliging clientele bellow ‘Happy Birthday’ to their nearest and dearest. It is a bustling, friendly environment, decorated with classical kitsch and even boasting an olive tree. The wide…
