The best restaurants serving Italian food in Scotland

Delicious gelato with some amazing flavours, between us we tried the lemon meringue, pistachio, chocolate, mango, vanilla and Nutella. All of them were absolutely delicious can’t wait to go back.

Food was great. Halloumi Fries best lv'e had anywhere. Steak pie amazing. Fish very good,batter or breaded so good. Onion rings amazing and crispy. Cookie dessert was so good. Great portions,great prices. Wee(half)portions are a great size too. Good relaxing atmosphere. Compliments to the chefs.

Nice meal in pleasant surroundings. Portions good size & very tasty, had a enjoyable meal 😋 left feeling well fed. Good coffee ☕️

We would like to support a local business , but sadly we decided not to return here. Lovely staff, but the food is hit and miss, we each had 3 courses, out of the 6 dishes one was fantastic ( though not very hot, and served on a cold plate). The others were either OK or quite bad . The Haggis starter was a bit tastless, and a steak, ordered medium rare was rare, almost blue. The staff are lovely, but there is no atmosphere, its brightly lit and was so very cold many diners had their coats on. The overall feel is of eating in an upmarket converted office. Its so tough running a restaurant, maybe a smaller menu, and a bit spent on styling it and creating sections would help the place feel more intimate.

Primera visita a los Vinci durante ARW's 2025 , y no decepcionó. El restaurante es muy acogedor y tiene un ambiente encantador, y está idealmente situado en el centro de la ciudad, con aparcamiento y conexiones de transporte cercanas. La comida era deliciosa - tuvimos tres platos y todas las opciones fueron bien recibidas. El paté y la tarta de queso definitivamente vale la pena probar. El servicio era amable y un buen ritmo teniendo en cuenta lo ocupado que estaba el lugar. Definitivamente volverá a probar más de las opciones de menú!

This spot was absolutely amazing. Loved all the food and service was amazing. Was a proper authentic taste of Italy 🇮🇹

I visited with 4 of my friends on a very busy Thursday, late pm early evening. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the minute we arrived till we left 3 hours later. Starters were excellent and lots of garlic bread to share too. The pizzas were incredible and plenty to choose from. The pasta dishes were full of flavour and great sized portions. We couldn’t manage desserts, but great choices available. As the restaurant was fully booked, a regular occurrence we were told, we had to vacate our table after 2 hours for the evening guests, but we were made to feel so welcome that we were shown to an area next to the entrance where we remained fir the next hour or more just enjoying the atmosphere. We could not pick any faults and prices for food and drink were great value for the money and we will definitely be back soon.

This is our favourite local restaurant. We eat here a lot usually on a Sunday when there is a very reasonably priced set lunch menu. The food is always good as in the service and the puddings are so good.

My wife and I visited this cosy Italian restaurant for dinner during a short stay in Kirkaldy. We enjoyed our meal immensely. The staff were both very friendly and attentive despite them being very busy. Prices for both food and drinks were very reasonable. When we are next in the area, we will definitely make a point of visiting again.

Booked this restaurant by email for my sons 24th birthday celebration on 4/10/16 I received 2 emails confirming the booking one received on the 3rd the second on the 4th confirming the date time and amount of people to be seated. We all turned up to a closed restaurant. I've emailed but no reply has been received as yet. Telephone number has message advising they can't take the call. Very disappointing. Bookings by email should not be taken when a place has closed down.

Everything about this experience was really bad. The staff couldn't have given a toss about our business and the girl behind the bar had a laughably bad attitude. The quality of the food was awful and the pizzas were absolutely rank. Far too greasy, almost no pepperoni, not a hint of chilli flakes and they burnt the cheese to the point it should ever have been served. But they did anyway. Ingredients were all horrible and the chips were barely acceptable too. It's 10 quid for a 10in pizza but 50% more for 2 more inches. Majorly bad call for us to choose the bigger ones but that plus 2 kids meals and soft drinks came to £60. A hilarious rip off for the quality of food and awful service. The girl behind the bar actually made me angry, such was her blatant disinterest in serving. This is basically a locals pub that acts like a restaurant to cater to the tourists on the odd sunny day that we were there, where the staff clearly were wishing they'd been out enjoying. We will not be back.

Well I take back comments I've made about service from staff in this restaurant before. From the second we went in till the second we left, the member of staff who normally works the front counter was so friendly. She really interacted with the customers, I was there along another two another men having a laugh etc and she was joining in and having a laugh with us. What a joy it was to be served by her. The food was nice and the dessert portions were more than generous. Thank you again.

I use da Vinci’s a lot as a meeting place , lunch or coffee stop , wether I am At work Or socialising , I have always booked my Table in advance since Covid, but no problem for walk ins . I’ve tried a lot of the menu , the breakfast with toast n hot drink is one of the best value for money items , also enjoy the combo , Mac n cheese , and my favourite is the garlic crispy chicken wrap with onions , which comes with salad n slaw, only complaint I would Have is to add more Stock To the soups as they’re a bit bland and thin ish at times . Otherwise I’m a happy customer , and wee etta is the best nothing is any trouble to her , amongst other staff ,(can’t remember their names ) But they’ve always been very pleasant and organised when I am in. well done team Da Vinci’s 👏

The restaurant comes highly recommended. In that view it is a dissapointment. The restaurant is like a cafeteria. The quicker the guests dissapear the better. The soup and the smoked salmon as appetizers were ok. But there were no bread with the salmon, which made it a bit hard to shallow. The worst thing was, that we became the main course 2-3 minuttes after the appetizers. We have never experienced that before in a restaurant. Of course we couldn't eat up! The fries were plain with a texture of an overcooked potato and with absolutely no taste. My steak was grilled too much with a lot of black spots. And I could taste it. 20 pct. of the meat was indedible. Should you not visit the restaurant? You should, BUT you have to keep the staff on a tight leash and be very specific about your requirements. It's necessary, because the staff and the kitchen is not. Bon appetit!

The “upstairs” restaurant was open for lunch. Comfortable, good views. Friendly staff. Comprehensive menu, a bit more than just pub food. Reasonable prices. Vegetarian and children’s menu items. Steak pie substantial with medley of vegetables. Beer garden be,ow for better weather. We would go again if passing.
