Top Best Italian Restaurants in Nine Mile Burn

"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."

"And when Dan and I craved some good old fashioned greasy and unhealthy pizza, Novapizza was the ultimate answer. No doubt, it more than satiated our need!. As simply a restaurant with vegan options in Edinburgh, we expected an “eh” pizza with vegan cheese that doesn’t really taste like cheese and a minuscule amount of vegetable toppings since we’re “veggies”…"

"Aptly named, Tony Crolla’s authentic Italian restaurant has been a firm favourite with local residents and visitors for many years.

With pizza and pasta galore, everyone loves La Favorita and the staff, in true Italian style, make a big fuss over the kids. Definitely not one to miss."

": Jam-jar lanterns and candles lighting the stairs set the mood and tone at Squeal, one of Edinburgh’s most romantic bars.

Charming old stone, sleek tables, a canopy of dancing fairy lights and plentiful greenery work together to create what is arguably the most romantic alfresco spot in Edinburgh.

This award-winning restaurant is located in Port of Leith in Edinburgh and it brings modern as well as traditional French cuisine to the locals. Tables decorated with fresh flowers and the cream and mocha color scheme creates the ideal atmosphere for a romantic dinner."

"This spellbinding eatery serves up brilliant French dishes at reasonable prices, and the outdoor terrace is central to the hustle and bustle of the historic Grassmarket area. The inside is just as alluring with its whitewashed walls, red checked tablecloths and laissez-faire feels. Expect all the classic French dishes, such as escargot and coq au vin, but the Petit Paris stew of the day is always unsurpassable."
