The best restaurants serving Italian food in Highland 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.

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.

Wow the Cullin Skink soup was fantastic to start. We had lobster betwen us for main course, tasty delious food. Only a small place, you can't book. (I kept trying to ring) Top Tip Get of the train and get there asap as it fills up, and they only do lunch. When we arrived they had a note on the door saying full ,but my wife went round the side asked if they could fit us in. Ime so glad as he squeezed us in. (Thankyou so much) people kept coming but we were lucky. Does not disapoint.

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!

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.

A wonderful evening in the perfect cozy ambience with the perfect food.... the BEST Gnocchi ever! Highly recommended 👍

Pizzas from the art, delicious.

I’m not one to complain especially at a restaurant, as someone who also works in hospitality. However, this meal was extremely poor. The service was fantastic especially when short staffed managing big tables and birthday parties, this complaint isn’t for the servers but the chefs. I myself had the BBQ chicken (which is breaded btw not stated on the menu) it was OK but very mediocre and bland, the bacon was overcooked and chewy. The chips with the chicken weren’t cooked properly they were cold in the middle and also went cold very fast. My friend had the Mac n Cheese which was tasteless like dishwater with cream to be honest. Very flavourless and disappointing, wouldn't recommend. For a total bill of £72 for 2 people would expect better tbh. Needless to say, the starter pretzels were very nice highly recommend and the hot cookie dough dessert and Malteser shake was also very nice. Again service was fantastic we didn’t mind the wait inbetween finishing starters and mains as again they were busy and short staffed.

Google said it was open and sign on the wall says open 7 days a week. Definitely not open on Wednesdays or Thursdays at the moment and no phone line to call and check. Such a shameas we'd driven into Aviemore especially 🙁
