The best restaurants serving Italian food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Visited this restaurant on 06/02/2025,the waiter/manager was totally overwhelming and his interaction with customers was pathetic.The minestrone soup was the worst I have tasted but to be fair the pizzas were better,not a very pleasant evening could not wait to pay the bill and leave.This restaurant has gone down hill and I will not be back

Great. Attentive staff with a friendly attitude and quick service. The food was well priced and good quality with a decent array of drinks both soft and alcoholic. Euan, our server was a great help and explained the menu well. Wasn't detered by the large group and went above and beyond to provide great service.

Estuvimos en Italia el año pasado y la comida en este restaurante era igual de buena - pizza era increíble y el personal era encantador también - sin duda recomendaría

I love this wee authentic Italian cafe, great for grabbing a bite to eat and coffee and watching the world go by. Nice coffees, fantastic bakery food and the meals are tasty and proper homemade with fresh incredients.

The best gelato I’ve ever had! Service was absolutely incredible also. Was celebrating my partner's birthday, staff noticed and gave a free flake and put 'Happy Birthday' on the speaker. You rarely get that kind of service anywhere! Recommend the fresh strawberry flavour as it's to die for! Definitely worth the price, just shame that the shop is so far away from Wales!

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.

This pizza is the very best pizza in the whole of East Lothian!!! We have been going for over 15 years and returned today for the first time after the pandemic and it’s even better than ever. Amazing And now they deliver! Seriously the finest food in the area and the best customer service ever. An authentic Italian establishment. Thanks again!! Brian

Great decor and lovely food particularly thr desserts! The staff were very nice too. Just a shame it was a bit empty but it was New Year's Eve.

Booked a table online. Got an email back to confirm. Turned up for dinner and restaurant was completely closed (looks like it had been for some time), even though it still showed as open online. Very frustrating.

Em uma caminhada agradável em família, nos deparamos com esta simpática e aconchegante casa italiana, próxima a região central de Edimburgo. Café muito saboroso, doces deliciosos, além de produtos de origem italiana.

Great service from Marreddy today! Very fast and friendly and food was great too!

Very fine food in an attractive ambience, attentive service

We come here each time we come to Edinburgh. Food and service always very good. Lovely atmosphere looking out over on the harbour and the staff really nice and friendly. Highly recommended place to chill and relax and enjoy great food.

Tuve mi cena de cumpleaños aquí y todo fue excepcional. Desde el servicio hasta comida y bebidas. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar, precios también muy asequibles.
