The best restaurants serving Italian food in Scotland

Our 2nd visit to this restaurant. Book a table as it is very popular. Delicious home cooked pizzas. Super friendly and efficient service from Irina. Really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Visited this restaurant last week good meals and service really enjoyed our food thank for your service staff are very helpful

Went on a random Monday evening and had a fantastic experience. I’ve had the takeaway before but this was the first time in the restaurant.The Melanzane starter was as good as I had in Sorrento and Rome. Pizza for main was amazing - I thought I found the best pizza in Edinburgh on Gorgie Rd but I was wrong! Tiramisu was ok, very light and quite boozy but I have had better. Still very good though.Loved that they had local paolozzi beer on tap. Wine was ok. Atmosphere in the restaurant was really nice, quite busy but not overly crowded. COVID rules were adhered to.

went with my friends to celebrate my birthday a place i have been wanting to visit for years , great pizza i had & macaroni chesse , cant wait to visit again

It is an absolute pleasure to eat at this restaurant 😋 Proper Italian atmosphere with excellent service and happy to welcome you in with a smile. Food delicious 😋 best tiramisu had to share it

Had a very warm welcome by alex. He made the effort to chat to us and made some recommendations! Although I'm not a chardonnay fan he gave us another alternative which was beautiful! Alex knew his stuff when it came to wine! He was a great guy and will definitely be returning! Been to the veeno down jn reading and the service was much better here than down south!

Really good, I have been loads for breakfast and coffee over the years but this was my first visit in the evening. Our food was lovely and the service was great, give it a go...we loved it. Paul

Really delicious food in nice, lovely atmosphere. This was our first time visiting Zucca and it won’t be our last. Staff were both knowledgeable and pleasant and looked after us very well. Food was freshly prepared and really enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I, with our small dog visited during a lunch time break in Bowmore. A great welcome by lovely staff, nice cocktail, followed by one of the nicest pizza and pasta combinations that we have ever had. The staff are particularly welcoming, and were lovely to our little dog. We thoroughly recommend and we will use again when in the area. Thank you. A++++

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.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food was fresh and well presented. Good value. All the staff were kind and helpful. The owner was very chatty and answered all our questions regarding the cycle racing memorabilia.

Food was brilliant. The menus were varied and included vegetarian and vegan options. Staff were excellent and service was quick.

I only completed the above boxes to get to the review section. our children gave us a voucher for Christmas. When we tried to book it was temporarily closed. we have tried calling & emailing on numerous occasions without success. Not one reply. i even sent an email to the owner via LinkedIn, again with no reply. very disappointed with the owners business ethics

Visited on a Saturday evening and place was quite busy. Service was excellent with all staff very attentive. Food was very good , fillet steak cooked to perfection , the special of lemon sole was delicious. Very nice ambience about the place

A really good authentic family Italian restaurant - we absolutely loved it! This restaurant had wonderful food, we had the clam spaghetti and calamari which was excellent and then all had a pizza, amazing! We also enjoyed a delicious bottle of chianti. Good atmosphere with local people and tourists to the area and the staff were very professional and friendly, excellent service! If we were ever back in Dumfries we’d definitely go back.
