After being in the UK for a month, I desperately needed something other than fish n chips. You may think that would make my review biased, but I am full-blooded Italian, so I critique any bite of Italian food I get my hands on. This almost tasted like home! Don’t tell my Nonna I said that.

This family-run Italian restaurant is certainly worthy of its awards. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing! Al dente noodles, fresh, delicious marinara and just the right balance of flavors in every dish made the meal perfect. Add an amazing Nutella cheesecake for dessert and it was elevated to sublime! The owner/chef Stefano came to the table and could not have been more gracious as were his wife and son who served us.

I have been coming here since it used to be called nyam nyams. Though a little further away from the city centre, the new location of ‘rigatoni’s’ is much more spacious and comfortable for a meal out. I was first introduced to this place by some of the Italian community, and quickly saw why. This is a family business, and the manager and his wife are Italo-Scozzesi, their family is originally from near Napoli. Both are bilingual and very friendly, expect good and very informal customer service. On offer are pizzas, pasta, panini(s), risotto, ravioli, gelato, a particularly famous tiramisu and a few daily specials. I have tried the pizza and pasta. The pasta is really good, al dente and flavoursome. There is also gluten free pasta available, which is handy for me, given that I am avoiding wheat. The pizza is a little bit small considering the price, though it’s quite nice. The turkish delight icecream is absolutely divine… The tiramisu is probably one of the best in Edinburgh, apart from my own homemade own of course. A few Italian products which cannot be easily found in Scotland are also for sale, including mulino bianco biscuits, antipasti and instant polenta.
