Al Fresco
22 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
Step off of Leith Walk, almost directly across from the Playhouse, into bright and shiny Al Fresco. Cut from a very similar cloth to its very popular near neighbour and sister restaurant Giuliano’s, Al Fresco is the newest member of the ‘family…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Set among a clutch of West End style bars, Bar Roma has packed its bright, roomy interior for three decades – seemingly without too much effort. The large, kitsch, plastic tree helps set a vibe that's low in pretension and high in conviviality; often…
The Bath Street Pony
207 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HZ
Since its arrival in 2009 the Pony has built up its reputation as a worthy addition to the cool bars on the Bath Street strip. It does a roaring trade in pre-theatre meals in the 5–7pm timeslot – at other times you can order Scottish and Mediterranean…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
From the street Bella Napoli looks like a run-of-the-mill Italian deli, but discerning food lovers know that through the back, past the racks of wine and tins of olives, is a reliable restaurant of some worth. While the front cafe offers casual…
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…
Cucina
Hotel Missoni, 1 George IV Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1AD
Oozing five-star Italian style, Hotel Missoni’s restaurant is fast becoming a second home to Edinburgh's wealthy and fashionable. If the modern, plush setting makes Cucina a place to be seen, this is not to the detriment of its menu, which offers…
Di Maggio’s
21 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
The well known Di Maggios chain has been expanding since the early 1980s – a sign their formula works. Whether dining in the bohemian West End with its thick red carpets and dark décor or the stylish Royal Exchange Square – 1930’s art deco interior…
Divino Enoteca
5 Merchant Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QD
The enoteca wine bar is one of the great joys of visiting Italy, and since June 2010 Edinburgh has had its own slice of Milan hidden below George IV Bridge. Nestled in a stripped-down basement in the Old Town, Divino is stylishly fitted out in chrome…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
Edinburgh’s wine bar scene might be expanding, but this intimate cubby hole on Cockburn Street has a decade on all of them. Ecco Vino is firmly Italian in its menu: generous plates of antipasti share a billing with enticing fish and meat dishes, pastas…
La Favorita
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…
Gambrino
333 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HS
This casual restaurant is all wooden tables, exposed brickwork, warm and efficient staff and a welcoming laid-back atmosphere. The menu features many old favourites and starters including potato skins, prawn cocktail and deep-fried mushrooms which come…
Giuliano's
18–19 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
With its prime location opposite the Playhouse, Giuliano’s has been feeding theatre-goers for two decades. It looks a little dated with worn carpets but remains popular with the early evening crowd that fills this surprisingly large space. It’s not a…
The Glass House Restaurant
80 North Street,
St Andrews,
Fife,
KY16 9AH
The Glass House is a Salvation Army church hall that has been transformed into an airy, contemporary open eating space, mostly using glass: on the facade from the roof down through a glass-fringed mezzanine, along with modern glass installations and…
Jamie’s Italian
1 George Square,
Glasgow,
G1 1HL
Opened in 2010, this Glasgow branch of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s ever-growing chain occupies a prime spot on bustling George Square. The downstairs bar is stylish with glass, leather, wood and exposed brick – ideal for studying the menu and grazing…
Little Italy
205 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TN
Carrying more of a café vibe than that of a restaurant, Little Italy is a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by. The pizzas are the highpoint of the dining experience, not just for their taste and freshness, but also for the novelty of the…
Mamma's American Pizza Company
30 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
Once the go-to place for Edinburgh’s pizza guzzlers, Mamma’s still enjoys a lively following on the weekend, given its Grassmarket location. It may lack the bone fide mamma-in-residence of its title, but certainly tries to make up for that with the…
O Sole Mio
34–36 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HG
Having changed hands and been given a new lease of life in early 2011, this City Centre Italian is already proving hard to beat due to the combination of excellent food and charming service. The modern rectangular dining area gleams with sparkling…
La Vita
161 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BJ
Spread over three floors La Vita occupies a prominent location in the heart of the City Centre. The tasteful interior is in an authentic Italian style, but space between tables is tight due to the unusual lay out. The menu is very large and extremely…
Vittoria
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…
Zizzi
Princes Square, The Terrace, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
With over 100 restaurants in the UK, Zizzi is a growing chain, but changing specials and quirky touches such as the staff photograph on the menu make for a distinct dining experience. Situated on the top terrace in Princes Square, Zizzi takes full…
