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

My family ate here 2 years ago and we are back. As a flexitarian, I can fully respect this menu and these chefs ability to make delicious food. I had the Meat Feast pizza and thought it was amazing. Ate the whole thing and didn't leave bloated. My family had the special (Pasta with butter cream, parm pistachio), calzone, and Mezze Maniche Alla Zozzona. Oh my! This place is unique and has to be the best Italian place I've eaten at, forget the fact it's vegan. Their layers of flavors will blow your mind.

Far from the tourist streets, we found this restaurant with wonderful fish and chips accompanied by its very nice boss! We recommend it!

Restaurant with truly Italian dishes and atmosphere! Tagliatelle with salmon and pizza excellent for being abroad! Excellent service, sensitive and welcoming staff. Absolutely positive experience!

El servicio amable mencionado por otros críticos debe haber estado de vacaciones cuando visitamos. El servicio era muy lento. Éramos un grupo muy benigno pero nuestro servidor estaba muy apagado - mano. No sé por qué, posiblemente solo estaba teniendo un mal día. Uno de nuestros invitados no quiso decirle que su pedido de bebidas estaba mal para no causar un mal ambiente en nuestra mesa. Comida bien, pero no volveremos.

Non just for pizza! Friendly atmosphere, eclectic decor, authentic Italian pizza.

Me and my sister we often visit for a lunch and we are always happy. It is now 7 years since we started to each here. Food is amazing, served beautifully and quickly. Staff is helpful and place is clean.

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.

Mixed feelings. I visited last night, choosing this branch based on great past experiences with gluten-free pizzas at other PE locations. The food here was just as tasty—no complaints there! Unfortunately, something went wrong, and I ended up unwell due to gluten contamination. I hadn’t initially paid attention to the prep area, but later noticed shared utensils and what looked like the same oven being used. If you’re coeliac, I wouldn’t recommend this branch due to cross-contamination risks. I’d love to return because the food was genuinely good, but only if there’s greater awareness and care around what “gluten-free” truly means—especially for those of us who rely on more than just a label in the menu.

Food was disgusting and took over an hour for my 1 portion of pasta and chips. Would not waste my time or money ever going back here.
