The best restaurants serving Italian food in Scotland

Brilliant time… the food was amazing as always! Only to be outdone by the unforgettable welcome and service provided by Lello and his team! We have just found our new go to family restaurant for years to come 🥰👏🏽

We visited for family tea as we were staying nearby - thoroughly deserved its 5.0 rating - the food was fresh and full of flavour and service very welcoming. The chicken milanese and pasta pancetta were both delicious. Look forward to returning next time we’re in the area.

Sensational food, wines, service and ambience. The roast chicken with porcini sauce and mash is a must try. The mash is just out of this world. Everything we had was incredible, generous portions, relaxed but efficient service. Can’t recommend enough, we will be back. I strongly recommend booking as we’ve tried to get in a couple of times before to no avail.

Amazing pizza with friendly fast service. Just grabbed some take out slices to go, really friendly staff and have been dreaming of that pizza ever since. Need to go back to try more!

Tropezó con esta joya encantadora mientras estaba en Edimburgo. Cálida bienvenida, gran elección de menú, servicio fantástico y a un precio razonable.

Fantastic lunch yesterday at Kaoglen restaurant. Food was excellent, staff were fantastic. Started with Brushetta followed by the Piri Piri chicken burger which was delicious, my wife had the carbonara and said it was one of the best she’s eaten. Fantastic views from the restaurant and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back and can highly recommend

Cannot fault the pizza - it’s delicious! Nice staff and a good service. Loses a few stars as it’s not dependable. Don’t get yourself excited for a pizza takeaway in Crieff as good chance it’ll be closed. Devastating. Closed more than it’s open.

Excelente experiencia de club de cena! Ocho excelentes platos con una amplia gama de platos sardos. Gran experiencia con amigos, gracias!

Came here with my partner and the Outlaws. Pizza was great, nicely cooked and the sugo was amazing, so flavourful and delicious. The pizza was a bit thinner and crispier than I personally consider Neapolitan, but that’s really splitting hairs because it was very tasty. I opted for pepperoni. The chips were astonishingly good. I don’t need a pizza AND chips, but I would order the chips again without hesitation. Service was personal and professional and the restaurant ambience and environment was a pleasure to sit in.

Bittersweet is glorious. Absolutely exquisite cocktails, delicious small plates of Italian food and detailed and attentive service. The venue is beautiful and the staff were passionate and expressive in their shared mission to ensure we had a wonderful time and experienced a sensory explosion of flavour in everything we drank and ate. Visiting from London I was pleasantly shocked that the bill was so reasonable for such a feast in flavour. I honestly can’t think of a meal I’ve enjoyed more and am already looking forward to returning when back in Edinburgh for the festival. Leith has a new jewel in its culinary crown and it’s Bittersweet.

On cold and very wet December days, this cafe was a great place to warm up. I suspect it would be a great 'slice of Italy' at any time of the year. Excellent hot and tasty panini, homemade scones and hot coffee...very welcome and much needed. Great attentive and friendly staff. We will ready return (and have) to this great cafe. For us, a bonus is that it is nowhere near the city centre.

Another excellent meal at Ravenscourt House. Delicious homemade soup and couldn’t resist having the Carbonara again. The Bruschetta, Seafood Tagliatelle and Duck Ragu also looked very good and all were generous portions. The service was very welcoming and friendly so it was a great evening.

Tuvimos una gran experiencia (otra vez) con nuestra familia y nieto pequeño. Recibimos una bienvenida muy cálida, un menú enorme para elegir, tubería caliente comida deliciosa y un gran servicio. Muy recomendable...

Was in there tonight . Food was amazing . Staff very polite and helpful and cheerful. Will defo go again..

We popped in today for our first visit and will definitely be back. Nonnina's is in a quirky spot, through a bike workshop, but it is welcoming and cosy. We were fortunate that the pizza oven had warmed up - I had a pizza and my husband had a soup and panini combo. Both freshly made, they arrived piping hot and my pizza, in particular, was delicious. A perfect crispy base with just the right amount of toppings. The owner was very friendly and is obviously very good at what he does. Highly recommended.
