As the team at Edinburgh’s Piccolino will tell you themselves, no love is more sincere than love of food. Italian food, in this case, as Piccolino is one of the most delightful Italian restaurants in this part of the Old Town, right on High Riggs Street and a stone’s throw from all kinds of Edinburgh attractions. The authentic menu offers quality rather than quantity meaning you can be assured that whatever you order has been prepared with love by chefs who care about what they’re doing. Piccolino will warm your heart and certainly fill your stomach so reserve a table now – you’ll not regret it.

    I have eaten all over Italy and this was, hands down, the best Italian I have ever had. Staff was very efficient and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

    A nice little Italian in the heart of Edinburgh. A comprehensive menu of starters, pastas and mains. Food was served quickly but tasted nice. Wine list was very short. Bill very reasonable indeed. 5 stars for value.
