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.

Very average restaurant. All ok. Nothing at all to get excited about. Bit tired and scruffy. Cluttered decor.

Lovely little place discovered quite by chance on a random walk to the shops from our hotel. Authentic Italian influence suffuses the menu with unusual ingredients and flavors. Good wine list, friendly and attentive (but not overly so) staff and just a darned good experience. We arrived hungry and left satiated. Highly recommend.
