Café Domenico
30 Sandport Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6EP
Café Domenico may be a stone’s throw from Leith shore’s Michelin-studded gastro corner but it's a million miles from its swish neighbours in style. The interior is mostly narrow and hall-like, covered in space-enhancing mirrors, and there’s little else…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
With ancestry of Edinburgh’s legendary Elm Row deli, it’s not surprising that Marina Crolla places an emphasis on using good quality, simple ingredients in her home-style Italian lunches. The blackboard behind the counter shows off an endless list of…
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida,
Glasgow,
G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
Although dark and slightly forbidding from the outside, hinting that the dining experience beyond these doors may be a serious and formal affair, inside it is relaxed and cosy with a fun, kitschy bent to the décor, reminiscent of the best tourist…
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…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
Osteria Piero
111 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2RU
With solid, traditional furnishings echoing the robust, confident flavours of its Tuscan-inspired menu, this basement restaurant is cosy and welcoming at any hour. Smartly dressed waiters add a sense of occasion, but the atmosphere is convivial and…
Papoli
244a Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Now in its third year Papoli is an eclectic mix of cultures and influences. Its owners hail from Iran and the menu, described as Mediterranean, is mainly composed of Italian pasta and pizza options with the odd dish from Spain and Greece. The dining…
Sprio
37/39 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
Sprio is a small and chic Italian deli and café located in Stockbridge. The compact space and modern interior has 60s comic art on the walls, a range of Italian goods for sale, and piles of magazines to peruse. Hosting regulars during the week dashing…
University Café
87 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Established in 1918, the University Café is a Byres Road institution, serving fish suppers, fry-ups and homemade lasagne for nearly a century. Inside, the décor is practically unchanged since opening, original wood panelled walls, narrow formica tables…
19 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
At the back of the famous and delightful delicatessen is the long, glass-ceilinged, bustling caffe bar. Serving coffees, breakfasts and lunches, it’s popular and can get very busy, so you may have to book or wait for a table. The menu consists of…
