The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

We visited for family tea as we were staying nearby - thoroughly deserved its 5.0 rating - the food was fresh and full of flavour and service very welcoming. The chicken milanese and pasta pancetta were both delicious. Look forward to returning next time we’re in the area.

The best Italian restaurant i have been to! The staff are really nice and super friendly always going above and beyond for us. Fabby and his team make it a great place to go and spend an evening whilst enjoying the best food.

The food is severely overpriced for what it is. Waited 2 hours for your food to come out, very disappointed. Apparently the chef didn’t turn up…

Food and service first class. Only down side is that we came in and wasn't italian music, (was like the waiters had their own playlist on) had to suggest frank sinatra. Ended up with his Xmas songs. Would definitely go again but needs better atmosphere.

Excellent Italian restaurant and great staff

It's one of the best places with delicious food!

Really lovely meal staff were really nice

Lovely fish,chips were a bit firm but tasty. Big portion. Arrived hot

A very pleasant place to enjoy authentic freshly prepared Italian cuisine, good selection of dishes on the menu classic starters of Minestrone soup, Bruschetta & others. Great variety of pizza 🍕 the Calzone was excellent, as were the various pasta dishes we had. All menu dishes were reasonably priced & of sufficient quantity, very nicely presented. Polite efficient service.

First time here Staff were amazing Didn't book but managed to get a seat Food was out of this world and ended it with a cracking dessert Me and my sis enjoyed ourselves and will be back

Ordered a latte, flat white and cappuccino- all served in same cups and all tasted the same Cheesecake bland and not worth the money No breakfasts available at noon No rush to go back

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

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.

Truly fantastic Real authentic Italian cuisine done right Restaurant is beautifully decorated Highly Staff are friendly and welcoming Highly recommended

Pamir Express is a place that definitely requires a thorough cleaning, as hygiene is virtually nonexistent. The staff should pay more attention to their appearance, as their untidy look can be off-putting to customers. The large, colorful bar doesn't leave a great impression, and in a place where food is served, it should be maintained to a certain standard. The sanitary authorities should take an interest in this establishment. Additionally, it was highly off-putting when the seller spat on the floor – such behavior is completely unacceptable in a food-serving establishment.
