Top Best Italian Restaurants in Carnock

"If you like pizza, you’ll love NovaPizza Vegetarian Kitchen. It was founded in 2015 by two pizza experts from Rome called Sari and Fabiana Albertinelli, and they use the finest Italian techniques to create cruelty-free pizzas that have been the talk of the town since they first opened. The restaurant is based in the New Town, and popular vegan pizzas include the ‘4 Stagioni’ pizza – with artichokes, vegan ham, mushrooms and vegan pepperoni."

"I’ve always loved pizza so when I went vegan in 2016 it was imperative that it remained in my life. Nova pizza is a veggie Italian restaurant and they have a WHOLE VEGAN MENU full to the brim with pizzas, pastas and sides. It was overwhelming but amazing."

"The beautiful union of a wine cellar and charming chic Italian restaurant, Divino Enoteca is not only one of the most popular Italian restaurants in Edinburgh. It also boasts a number of awards for food and wine, making it one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh as well. Located in the heart of Old Town, Divino Enoteca has soft mood lighting and an award-winning wine list that makes it a perfect venue for a romantic rendezvous (book for Valentine's Day!), as well as fun and sophisticated nights out with the gang."

"What: This upmarket Italian restaurant and wine bar is hidden away near Grassmarket and is a favourite among Edinburgh pasta enthusiasts. What you might not know about Divino Enoteca though, is that is has a gorgeous outdoor patio area surrounded by stone walls and lit with fairy lights. Feast on frittura mista here during the warmer months, or sit by the heaters during winter and shovel down the tagliatelle alla Bolognese.Where: 5 Merchant Street, EH1 2QD"

": Jam-jar lanterns and candles lighting the stairs set the mood and tone at Squeal, one of Edinburgh’s most romantic bars. This intimate basement haunt is sexy to boot, and serves a long list of cocktails that are guaranteed to have you swooning over them – and your partner. What’s more, they host regularly party nights too, making it the perfect place for couples who love a ‘scene’."

"Caffe Centro is a family run restaurant serving a range of delicious and authentic Italian dishes. Caffe Centro38 George Street, Edinburgh. EH2 2LE. Tel: 0131 281 5458."

"Why: Don’t be alarmed by the blue and purple neon lighting and heavy black velvet curtains at Karen’s Unicorn – the food is as fun and inviting as its name. The subtle Cantonese cooking is evident in house specialities such as salt and spice squid, and steamed seabass in a black bean sauce. Right in the centre of town, it’s also good for lunch when sightseeing or a hearty meal before painting the town red."

"If the name isn’t enough of a lure (it should be), then the food will do the job. Hypnotic and boldly brilliant – just like a unicorn – Karen’s Unicorn successfully stays true to real Cantonese cooking, with the ingredients serving as the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned and meticulously crafted, each dish is authentic and unashamedly traditional."

"You'll find traditional Cantonese cuisine on offer at the extremely popular Karen's Unicorn Chinese Restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town. It has been so successful that there are actually two restaurants now within a few streets of each other. They offer a huge menu packed with tempting house specialties and a number of set banquets."

"One of the best ways to enjoy the stunning views of the city with your partner is visiting Camera Obscura, which means a dark room. The site is located behind the Edinburgh Castle and it is a Victorian Rooftop chamber with excellent views. It is one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh and accepts visitors since 1892."

"Weave your way through a world of illusions, and remember, nothing is what it seems. Venture through five floors jam-packed with over 100 illusions. You’ll need at least two hours to discover them all."
