Whether you’re looking to dine in a solely pasta restaurant, Italian bistro or traditional trattoria, there are so many fantastic options for Italian restaurants in Edinburgh. These skilled chefs know a thing or two about delicious cheese, dough and truffle, amongst all the other tasty treats that you’d associate with the foodie heaven of the Mediterranean. Not a day goes by where we aren’t dreaming of a bowl of fresh, handmade pasta, topped with a traditional sauce, or a silky soft tiramisu, and luckily for those in Edinburgh, these dreams of Italian cuisine can become reality – thanks to each special restaurant that is found in the Scottish capital. We have to ask the most important question before we let you go – are you team pizza or pasta?
