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’ve had an amazing experience at this place! Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable and food is great. I’ve been in Edinburgh for a couple of days now, and I think I’ve visited here more than anywhere else. The location is super convenient—perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The outdoor seating is lovely, and the indoor space is cozy and inviting. Gregory and his team do a fantastic job. Highly recommend—do yourself a favor and check it
