Top Best Italian Restaurants in Threipmuir Reservoir

"In Edinburgh's New Town, this pizzeria sells the city's best vegetarian and vegan pizza. Start with bruschetta topped with seasonal ingredients - our favourite is the iteration features vegan salmon, olives and rocket - or, if you're visiting with a group, the tomato-topped "focaccia dracula" which feeds four. For mains, try the cacciatora pizza (topped with rosemary potatoes, capers and homemade seitan) or the messicana (tomato, mozzarella, vegan chicken, fresh chilli and roasted mixed peppers)."

"This Italian restaurant serves authentic vegetarian and vegan Italian food, mostly consisting of pizzas and pasta (well, what else would you expect?) The restaurant’s website also hosts a small blog which contains articles for their customers on how to begin and continue a plant-based diet and how to make crusty Italian bread. The restaurant was the first of its kind in Edinburgh and even received The Scottish Food Awards & Academy Vegetarian Gold Medal in 2017."

"A post shared by John Robins (@nomadic_revery) on Feb 18, 2018 at 7:31am PST. For some of the best vegetarian pizza dishes that Edinburgh has to offer, Nova Pizza Vegetarian Kitchen specialises in delicious vegetarian pizzas that are irresistible even for non-vegetarians. Friendly and welcoming staff offer an impressive range of vegetarian pizza toppings such as pepperoni, mozzarella and even vegetarian mince."

"If you're down in Leith, La Favorita is the place to be (especially on Sundays when they have an incredible offer wherechildren can choose a main from the children's menu for £1!!) 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."

"A crowd-pleasing pizzeria which has become something of an institution in the city, thanks to its traditional feel and welcoming, familial atmosphere. Children can also order mini-pizza or small pasta dishes. While parents can feast on a wide array of choices from risotto to steak, as well of delicious pizzas of course."

"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’."

"Not many restaurants have a research lab, but Mono isn’t your standard restaurant. This venue serves up what it describes as “progressive” Italian food, headed up by chef Maciek Zielinski (who’s had experience in Michelin-star restaurants) and Italian-Scottish foodie Joseph Crolla. Mono’s take on lasagne with veal ragout, parmesan and sage is a sensation, while the duck liver mousse with blueberries, onions and cocoa is surprisingly but beautifully put together."

"I had several nice meals at Olly Bongo’s during my student years at Edinburgh University. This Mediterranean cafe offers a selection of sandwiches and wraps, as well as Turkish and Greek dishes, including moussaka and lamb koftas (very tasty!). I also love the Greek and Turkish decor of this place – it’s so bright and colourful."

"The grounds of 17th-century Bonnington House, 10 miles west of Edinburgh, have been lovingly converted by owners and art patrons Robert and Nicky Wilson into a gorgeous, landscaped sculpture park. Meadows and woodland showcase works – many of them specially commissioned – by a clutch of Britain's leading artists, including Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Cornelia Parker and Nathan Coley, anchored by the the vast landscape sculpture Cells of Life by Charles Jencks. A varied events program includes tours every Wednesday at 10.30am."
