The best restaurants serving Italian food in Scotland

What has happened? Used to be great. Friendly staff and freshly cooked food. Now, staff that talk amongst themselves and food that has been under the heat for hours. Dried up and tasteless. Not impressed at all

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

Astonished this place got a Bib Gourmand. As someone who spends quite a bit of time in Italy, this was a crashing disappointment. Italian cooking - and the Italians - are all about generosity, heart, big flavour and loads of personality. This is the antithesis of typical Italian hospitality, tiny parsimonious portions, most dishes tasted the same (salty) and it all felt quite mean spirited and sad. We were recommended to have 8 or 9 dishes to share between 5 of us, which we did, and were advised they’d come to the table when they were ready - fine. However they actually came out one at a time, meaning there there five of us trying to share a tiny plate. Pasta portions were so small, we each got one measly forkful. We got three sad tortolinni to share between 5- where’s the joy in that? Massively overpriced for what it was - honestly should have gone to one of the longstanding trats across the road, at least I wouldn’t have left hungry. I’ve given it two stars purely because our waitress was lovely, otherwise it would have been one.

I will never be back got the order wrong phoned them they had forgot to add something the girl on the phone had a real attitude problem and very rude the food was cold when it arrived the donor meat was hard and couldn’t even it it waste of money it went in the bin

Ordered online from here during a work course up in Lossiemouth. Overall, fairly average. No issues with the staff, the two guys behind the counter were friendly. However, the food (in areas) let me down. My Van Gogh Pizza fell apart - to elaborate, the Cheese fell off with all the topping going with it. Ended up with Tomato based Bread and piles of topping. However, it was tasty enough and the Chips were faultless. Not the biggest fan of the Garlic & Herb Sauce unfortunately - found it quite sickly. Cost wise, it was about £17 so in the grand scheme of things, about right in comparison to other takeaways in the area.

came here for overnight dinner and breakfast the overall experience was amazing staff very helpful food amazing 3rd time back

Overpriced. £2.25 for a tiny empire biscuit (and I really mean tiny!!). Biscuit was very hard, the jam was very runny … jam started to go everywhere at the first bite… not great. Sticky hands, jam went on the ground, I was left with the hard biscuits to bite…NOT impressed. Overall an empire biscuit disaster.

A service charge was added to my bill and entered into their credit card terminal without me agreeing even though I asked how much my bill was and it was quoted back to me without the extra 10%. A sneaky manoeuvre in any man's language. A manager had to be summoned to override the initial charge. I also noticed I was overcharged .50p versus the price on the menu. Again, the same manager was called to correct and refund me. I left with the impression that their charging processes is built around dishonesty and concealment. Regardless of the food my experience was not a nice one and I would advise other diners to be weary.

Great place for lunch. Lovely restaurant, great food and amazing portions. The girl serving us was lovely too. Great Service. Would highly recommend and go back!

Went for breakfast and decided on the Italian cheese and ham toastie. The ham was cheap ham out of a supermarket and the cheese was very cheap, poor advertising and won’t be back

This is by far the best Chippy I've been to in donkey's years. Fantastic food, great banter from the owner and staff and the place is absolutely spotless. Super-impressed and will be making it my go-to in the future.

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.

Popped in today for a lunch after shopping a 3 course lunch for 10.50 was on offer, we ordered drinks then lunch i had black pudding fritters with salad and a peppercorn sauce partner had chicken strips with bbq sauce we both opted for steak pie with veg and chips and then we both had sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream we had 3 drinks each and had change from 50 pound 0utstanding value wasnt expecting much but was pleasantly surprised the food was absolutely beautiful service was brilliant and staff friendly with definitely return
