 Pierre Victoire's Italian Cousin |
7 Victoria Street Edinburgh EH1 2HE United Kingdom +44 131 226 7267 |
This is the Italian version of the highly successful Pierre Victoire chain. The atmosphere here is always lively and friendly and the decor is slightly rustic. The moderately priced menu offers impressive fish and seafood options, as well as excellent veal. The winning combination of fresh, tradition-inspired dishes and moderate prices has once again captured the loyalty of Edinburgh's eating-outers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Economical Food al Romano |
64 South Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1LS United Kingdom +44 131 557 3777 |
Ciao Roma is a large restaurant spans two floors and is very convenient for the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. The decor is all classical statues and pillars and the service is swift and efficient. These factors attract a mixed clientele, from students to families, all in search of great Italian food at excellent value for money. The two course set lunch with a complimentary glass of house wine will set you back a molto economico £6. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Modern Contemporary Dining |
58A North Castle Street Edinburgh EH2 3LU United Kingdom +44 131 226 6743 http://www.cosmo-restaurant.co... |
Cosmo, established over 30 years ago, is a French fine dining restaurant that prides itself on using only the most frech local produce. This, however, does not mean raised priced- for most entrees, the price hovers around $20- well worth-it at this hip new establishment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fabulous, darling! |
135a George Street Edinburgh EH2 4JS United Kingdom +44 131 225 2555 http://www.estestestedinburgh.... |
Attentive service, delicious sauces and big glasses of wine, plus a refreshingly relaxed attitude to children make this a welcoming place. There is an extensive menu, including some great pasta dishes and pizzas cooked in a wood oven. The Edinburgh branch of this national chain is famous for turning away superstars. The story goes that after the big music festival, T in the Park, in Glasgow, the performers rushed through to this great Italian restaurant for their well earned grub. Mick Jagger (allegedly), on being told there were no tables, started on the "Don't you know who I am?" routine, to which the door staff replied that they were still full. So, learn from others' mistakes and book ahead! Review © 2007, Wcities |

A festival of Italian flair |
88-90 Hanover Street Edinburgh EH2 1EL United Kingdom +44 131 225 2227 |
This flamboyant restaurant is the perfect place for those looking for an animated ambience. It's buzzing and full of Italian flair, with pictures of Sophia Loren and the four tenors adding to the playful decorative pastiche. The menu is huge and reasonably priced, so there's something for everyone. Located in the city centre, it attracts a mixed crowd and is a popular place for business lunches. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pizza and pasta in a friendly place |
95 Lothian Road Edinburgh EH3 9AW United Kingdom +44 131 229 7788 http://www.lazio-restaurant.co... |
Recently refurbished, Lazio is smart and cool (particularly thanks to the new air-conditioning!) with pizza, pasta and all things Italian which are the order of the day. This long-standing family restaurant provides great service and a mixture of seating arrangements to suit large groups and intimate parties. The salads provide cheaper options for a main course; they start from £4.40 and include the wonderful Aubergine and Artichoke Insalata. Meaty dishes and seafood specialities up your spend, but at around £8 for a saucy chicken concoction, it is still good value. Top off your evening with one of their delicious ice-creams and a sugary Caffe Machiato. Review © 2007, Wcities |
