Finding the perfect spot for an Italian meal in Edinburgh can be a tad tricky – there are so many options to choose from, so we’ve done the legwork for you. Using our SquareMeal skills, we’ve carefully picked out the top places across the city, paying attention to everything from price and the restaurant’s atmosphere to the restaurant location and, of course, the menu. A great Italian restaurant isn’t just about the food you’re served, but about the process of how it gets to you, how the restaurant views its ingredients, sustainability, and what recipes they use. No matter whether you’re looking for the most traditional of Italian meals, or a more modern take, Edinburgh has a choice to match. From cosy hideaways in Portobello and Leith, to posh spots in the heart of the Old and New Towns, this city is brimming with options. Being one of the most popular cities for tourists in the UK, and across Europe as a whole, when you walk through Edinburgh’s colourful and historic streets, you may just find what you’ve been looking for.

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?
