The best restaurants serving Italian food in Edinburgh and Lothian

We had a lovely meal and experience in the restaurant today. The food was all cooked fresh and to order. The owner took time to share some cooking tips but unfortunately he wouldn't share his secret ingredients haha. Great traditional Italian restaurant which was a pleasure to dine in.

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

Such a fantastic evening at Luisa's supper club. We weren't sure what to expect having never been to a supper club. She was so welcoming and explained all of the dishes she'd created. There's something quite refreshing about not knowing what dish is coming next. The food was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. We were just blown away Would definitely recommend a visit. You won't be disappointed!!

Upmarket restaurant in a small country village serving a delicious, good quality range of food. We enjoyed Saturday night dinner at this restaurant and I was particularly impressed when the days special was Ox Cheek. It did not disappoint! I enjoyed a melt-in-the-mouth beautifully prepared dish and was toiling to finish it all. Thankfully we'd shared bruschetta to start...the portion was more than enough for two and it was delicious. I'd highly recommend 119 and will most definitely be back.

Incredible food, handmade with care and attention. The beef shin lasagne is absolutely heavenly. The owners are a lovely couple too

My suggestion is that once in your life you must to try the pizza At pizza tree , could be a quick lunch to eat there or take away , so I've tried both and the taste still the same ... highly recommend thanks guys

Este lugar nos preparó pizza vegana sin problema. Alcachofa, origano, aceitunas, salsa de tomate. Simple y delicioso Una verdadera joya italiana!

Trovato per caso, ma molto soddisfatto. Ottima pizza preparata con ingredienti di qualità ad un prezzo molto contenuto per Edimburgo. Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia mangiare una vera pizza napoletana.

Received this recommendation from a local. It was delicious! Loved what we ordered and the choice of mash was brilliant. Don't miss dessert. Alex and Teri were great, attentive, and personable. We've been traveling now five days, and this has been our best meal!

Mi esposa y yo amamos la auténtica cocina italiana y acabamos de tropezar con esta pequeña joya cuando estábamos caminando al castillo de Holyrood. Quedamos impresionados por la calidad de los sándwiches italianos frescos, arancinis y postres de esta pequeña tienda. Y el personal italiano era muy amable y atento. Si buscas un delicioso, fresco, auténtico y a un precio razonable italiano, no dejes de visitarnos.

In seven days I spent in Edimburg, five nights I went in Vapiano, to eat Pasta, home made. Very, very good. I'm italian and, believe me, it was so good that it seemed to be in Italy. Don't lose this place when you'll be in Edimburg.

Just, simply, very good. Amazing location, amazing premises, amazing produces, amazing staff, management and ownership. High level but everybody's welcome place. The shop, outstanding: real produces, real stuff, high quality. Probably the best for brunch in edinburgh, definitely a must in general. Thanks!!! Great job everyone20. 😊

Simple but tasty paninis, very authentic feel. Had to change my baby's nappy and they helped me carry things down to the toilet area. No changing table but squeaky clean facilities and no problem changing on the floor with my own changing mat. Great service with a smile!!

Now called Rocksalt formerly Cafe Luca. I am afraid I was not at all impressed and will not be back. Extremely disappointing. I had over done bacon a strange fluffy fried egg and chips. It cannot afford to coast on the back of the former glory associated with Cafe Luca.

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.
