The best restaurants serving Italian food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Absolutamente me encanta Giulianos, he estado viniendo aquí durante un buen par de años y nunca decepciona. La comida era deliciosa y el personal es tan amable y atento. Siempre recomiendo este restaurante : )

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.

Delicious gelato with some amazing flavours, between us we tried the lemon meringue, pistachio, chocolate, mango, vanilla and Nutella. All of them were absolutely delicious can’t wait to go 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.

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.

Cheerful staff . Place is bright plenty of room.

The manager (or assume it was anyway, as she was wearing different clothes to everyone else!) was seriously amazing. This woman needs a pay rise! We only went in for a quick bite, and the food was typical Pizza Express, but we left seriously happy, thanks to this person’s actions. Welcoming, friendly, helpful… made our day. Good views from the window too!

Excellent service from the staff. Whenever I suggest changes to the menu, they listen and are very willing to implement them.

Good Italian food, which is what I tried.

Food was very nice but took a while to arrive after ordering.

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.

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

TONYY why did you MACARONIIII??! once in a lifetime experience, will forever leave you wondering what was it that you put in your mouth, that vaguely looked like a pizza
