The best restaurants serving Italian food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Cozy place with excellent food, coffee and desserts. Friendly staff as well, very pleasant place to hang out!

From an Italian girl based in Edinburgh I can tell for sure one of the best Italian pizzas that you can taste here in Edinburgh! Ordered in this restaurant from many years and never had any issues with the quality of their food or delivery, always super fast and food still hot. Highly recommended also for all their other products, the cannoli is simply amazing! Same for their starters, I love their parmigiana!

I'd been meaning to visit this place for years, and now I finally got the chance. Sadly, it appears to be closing, so I probably won't get another chance. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. The kind of friendly family-style place that's rare in Edinburgh these days.

Really disappointing. Had gone has had great reviews, but service was flat and not special. Restaurant was chilly, basic set up, paper nspkins, no candles for dinner. Cold bisque which I sent back but no further check all was good. Felt it was expensive and wouldn't return.

I have been here on 2 seperate occasions and really liked the pasta. There is enough 'vegetarian ' options if you are prepared to accept parmesian (which I do...) I have had: - cacio e Pepe. Really good. - walnut pesto. Was OK - Arancini. Was OK - halloumi fries. Good. Really good value. Both times I came for dinner. Definately worth visiting for a pasta fix

Beautiful food, lots of flavour. Decent portions and lovely staff. Meatball starter was really nice, highly recommend

Terrible restaurant and terrible food, the attitude of the waiters towards guests is terrible, I do not recommend it. If you ask to bring something separately, you will be refused. The service is zero and absolutely does not match the receipt The waiter is rude.

Top, busy place, always book and dont be late or they might give up your space. Loved the food, service was excellent. For us, we had a lovely time with out friends, highly recommended. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Excellent quality 👌

Lovely staff, nothing is too much trouble. Great with kids, kid's menu portions are generous.

Friendly service, average food. THE RESERVATION DISCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN APPLIED

Papilio is an absolute gem. Great service by a friendly welcoming team. Fantastic Italian food with daily specials menu. 5 stars are genuinely warranted. That's why we are regular and loyal customers.

Amazing restaurant run by two amazing people. The food on offer is simply stunning.

The place sells fresh products and it is absolutely amaizing. Just a table inside but enough to enjoy everything they ha e. Coffee is the real deal.

Soggy, reheated fries that are overpriced for the relatively small portion you get. Conservative use of the toppings compared to photos used to advertise their pizzas.

I have ordered veg supreme and it was soo drooling and fast delivery. The guy who serves is very attendive and friendly. A great applause to the chef i think his name is krishna for making fast and delicious pizzas. I will highly recommend to my friends and family to have a peaceful evening.
