Bar Italia Ristorante

The service is outstanding, the food is authentic with freshly made pasta, and the hospitality makes you feel like part of the family.

Good service and extremely good food. Will be back to taste the famous ice cream. The rosé was good and the cocktails were excellent. Great atmosphere!

Amazing find, great service to fit us in and amazing food. Cannot recommend this authentic friendly restaurant enough, we will be back next time we visit. Thank you Ver carta

Excellent dinner, service and atmosphere! Went with 3 kids and 2 grandparents after a full fringe day and it couldn’t have been more perfect! They squeezed us in and were very polite despite being exceptionally busy. Great restaurant!

This was a perfect spot for a later dinner with family. The location was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and enjoyable to converse with! And of course the cocktails, food, and desserts were all delicious! Definitely would go back :

We dropped in last minute with 7 work colleagues and were warmly welcomed. The presentation of everyone's food was impressive and I heard it tasted amazing. The prices were reasonable and the service was excellent. Overall, it was good value for money with exceptional service. Ver carta

Visited this lovely family restaurant during our stay in the festival. Just walked in and we’re surprised by great friendly worm welcome followed with great Italian home fresh cocked dishes. Had minestrone soup freshly made with lots of vegetables. Mozzarella salad, great portion fresh and tasty. Followed by pasta bolognaise, wow like my mother’s!! We’re very impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the toilets even now when the festival is on . Warmly recommend and definitely will come again next year.

We found ourselves caught in a sudden rainstorm early in the evening while walking up Lothian Road on our way back to our hotel, so we decided to seek shelter and have dinner at Bar Italia. We were initially expecting a mediocre meal, but we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was busy when we arrived at 7:00 PM, but fortunately, they had a table available for two. The atmosphere was charming and very Italian, with a cozy and lively vibe. We ordered the Burrata Caprese, a couple of mains (the Crab Ravioli was amazing!), dessert, and two drinks each. Our bill came to around £84, which we felt was very reasonable given the quality of the food and how delicious everything tasted. It was a... Ver carta
