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

Incredible!!! Every dish we had was absolutely delicious, and the service was super friendly too. Some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had, definitely coming straight back the next time we’re in Edinburgh!

Lovely family-run business with a warm friendly welcome. We sat in with our daughter and the fish was made fresh for us which was delicious. Everything was really tasty and the service was so lovely staff are really chatty and helpful! Highly recommend!!

A fabulous meal, great service, convivial atmosphere. Would recommend if you like good Italian food. We celebrated my birthday there recently and it was just perfect!

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.

Popped in for an early dinner on a Friday night and had an incredible meal. We each had the calzone (suffice to say, I’m really glad I’d not had breakfast or lunch!) and then shared a tiramisu for dessert. Very friendly staff, great pricing and the waiter skipped the tip button (no pressure) and was surprised when I asked him to go back so we could leave one because the service was so good. I’ve been here before solo and had a range of dishes including breakfast and lunch and both were good but tonight was something else.

My wife's and my first visit. I enjoyed everything We had a table downstairs therefore only a 4 for ambience.

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.

Pizza was small for the price, warm not hot not good value for money.

Ordered with Uber Eats, over 70 minutes late after calling twice, the pizzas arrived with a very annoyed driver and was reprimanded for not waiting in the hotel lobby...! Horror….
