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.

    A perfect little gem. Fantastic service and delicious food, served with love by the wonderful staff team. No frills decor and lighting was a bit bright, but this just let the service and food shine through. I’d highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine and we will definitely be back.

    The Venison Ragu was amazing. Cracking wee eatery with very nice staff and good value for money. Hope to be in Edimburgh again soon to try other dishes.

    Really enjoyed our meal here. Food was lovely, staff very attentive and friendly. Food was not over priced. Restaurant was a 5 min walk from Usher Hall which was our next destination. Would recommend.
