Top Best Italian Restaurants in Tranent

"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."

"Just a short 10-minute drive from Straits Meadow, Novapizza is the first meat-free Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Edinburgh!. Their vegan pizza is made in-house with their signature dough and offers bags of different flavours. There’s nothing better than a few moreish slices of pizza whilst watching a movie in your accommodation and Novapizza offers light, tasty pizzas for a great price!"

"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."

"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"

"Divino Enoteca can do no wrong, and the outdoor patio is no exception. 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. Worried about the unpredictable Scottish weather?"

"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."

"Situated in Newhaven, this sloped, Victorian garden overlooks the Firth of Forth into Fife. This spot is perfect for relaxing under the cherry blossoms in the Spring and enjoying the delights of the lovingly maintained park throughout the year. Ray, our Merchandising Assistant, and Laura, our Finance Manager, favour this park for a spot of quietness with a picnic of foodie indulgence."

"Loudons may seem like your average eatery from the outside but they have a speciality - and it’s homemade pancakes!. We’re talking everything from American style with layered bacon and baked banana topped with maple syrup, to the healthier, savoury superfood pancakes that are packed with lentils, veg and delicious garlic pea chutney. Located in Fountainbridge, it is the perfect location for a leisurely walk down the canal to digest your food, with a takeaway coffee in hand."

"Loudons represents the perfect place to take your parents, with garden centre vibes (in the best way), it is the ideal backdrop for lying to your folks that the reason you’re tired is from an all nighter in the library, not because of the eight vodka cranberries you had at the club last night."

"Where to stay: Enjoy a luxury stay just a stones throw away from the Chocolate & Pastry Bar in our Stafford Street home in the West End. Italian chef Chiara Scipione decided to make Edinburgh her home and lucky for us, has set up a little shop in the West End full of chocolate and pastries. A shop adorned with hot chocolate bombs, pastries, ruby chocolate, cakes and so much more, it will be wonderful to visit this dream of a shop."

"Another site to open just before lockdown, the Chocolate and Pastry Bar is definitely one on our visiting list. Stocked to the brim with well, chocolate and pastries, the venue will serve up some pretty sweet treats, made by Chef Chiara Scipione. Currently, the Queensferry Street cafe is open for takeaways, which will definitely keep us going until we can sit in again."

"It extends for almost a mile and is lined with colorful gardens and elegant shops, including the tradition-conscious Jenners of Edinburgh, founded in 1838 and one of the world's oldest department stores. Also good for shopping is the Princes Mall, popular with its small shops set among fountains and cafés and plenty of places to browse. As well as these temples to consumerism, you'll find restaurants, from fast food to gourmet bistros."

"The Princess Street Gardens sit at the feet of Edinburgh Castle in the valley between the old city and the new city. Nor Loch once occupied the space, but the city began draining it in the 1770s, finishing in 1820. Wide paved paths lead throughout the park for full accessibility, roaming across fields of wildflowers, through wooded areas, and over streams and the railroad that divides the east and west sections of the park."

"Not only is Princes Street Gardens a World Heritage Site and ‘an area of botanic and geological scientific interest’, but it is also conveniently central and a popular destination for when the sun is shining down on Edinburgh. A wonderful place to find some calm and quiet away from the thrum of the city surrounding it. Think of it as Central Park lite."

"On Day 1 you will tour the Royal Mile, starting at Edinburgh Castle and ending at Arthur’s Seat. It’s a lot of walking so make sure you wear a comfortable pair of shoes!!"
