The best restaurants serving Italian food in Highlands and Islands

Surprise find . Lovely friendly service . Good pizza and amazing Tiramisu. Went with my daughter as a quick stop to break up a long drive and would not hesitate to come back .

Another excellent meal at Ravenscourt House. Delicious homemade soup and couldn’t resist having the Carbonara again. The Bruschetta, Seafood Tagliatelle and Duck Ragu also looked very good and all were generous portions. The service was very welcoming and friendly so it was a great evening.

The pizza man from Pizza in the skye told us about this local couple and their daughter who are farmers and grow their own beef and we specifically ordered beef burgers. The best beef burgers we had for ages, home grown and cooked and prices are excellent. Thank you again and your food is fantastic and the scotch pie also was very tasty. When we visit Portree in the future , we will definitely return and try your famous roast dinner.

I was in Granton on spey for a weeks holiday and was on a shopping trip to Elgin where we came across the muckle square Cafe. Wow. What a breakfast they do.huge and very reasonable price.we travelled there everyday for the week just to have there breakfast.can't recommend it highly enough.

The food was good and my wife, who is picky about her pizza, was pleasantly surprised with her meal. Staff was a little overly attentive as if they wanted to hurry us along. We like to order drinks and relax before ordering our entrees. Overall it was a good experience if a bit rushed.

I love this place the food is amazing and the coffee tastes great. Lovely atmosphere. The staff are great and remain composed when the cafe is very busy or if there are any faults with the ticket machine. I cant praise this little gem enough.

We have been impressed with so many of the restaurants in Inverness but sadly this was not one of them. The food was not at all special. I had a pasta dish with loads of peas and large chunks of broccoli floating in a very mediocre tomato sauce. My husband had a pizza that was not very special as well. The male waiter was pleasant enough but the female was abrasive and very curt. Until this evening both my husband and I had commented on how attentive the waiters had been in all the restaurants we had been in Inverness. The female waitress in Little Italy let down the rest of Inverness.

Having arrived in Mallaig with the Jacobite Steam Train, we stopped over in this small, cozy place for lunch. Little did we know of the seafood-fest that would await us. The waiter was super friendly and competent, the fish was fresh and delicious (we had the battered monkfish with chips, hake in a buttery sauce and the langoustines which came in a very, very generous portion. The perfect lunch!

Italian restaurant. Excellent food. Good size portions presented beautifully. Wine a little expensive. The lady in charge of service was very efficient. Slightly less so the other two waiters who forgot to offer the pepper/parmesan for our main courses. We would certainly recommend the Aurora.

Incredible quality of ice cream, friendly, great Italian vibe. The staff were really nice to us, they have so many unique ice cream flavours, I tried Christmas pudding and Apple and cinnamon crumble. The coffee was also good and they sell some really nice products from Italy. Will definitely be back!

I got 2 mixed kebab Pizzas Italian crust unbelievable not one bit of grease soft and fluffy base 10/10

Lovely restaurant, fabulous menu, reasonable prices. Very busy, staff friendly. Wish we could have left a tip but their card machine doesn’t accept anything but the total cost of bill

Great ice cream highly recommend with great views from the various picnic benches outside. Will definitely visit again with the family

Lovely gelato / ice cream. We enjoyed every bite and absolutely would return. Great service too, had a nice sit outside on the table and chairs in the sun.
