Civerinos

One of Edinburgh's best pizza restaurants, Civerinos is home to a world famous selection of slices, from the classic pepperoni and four cheese, to philly cheese steak and delicious calzones. On top of that you'll find boozy slushies and delicious desserts to complete your meal.

Novapizza

Cute, quirky and 100% vegan and vegetarian, Novapizza is a one-of-a-kind Italian just a short walk from Queen Street Gardens. If you're in the market for delicious plates of pasta, seitan steaks and more slices than the body has room for, this intimate spot has certainly got the goods.

Taking its name from the little cabs that zip through India's side-streets, this quirky restaurant is all about vibrant décor and vibrant food. Come here for authentic dishes and fantastic street food, all while surrounded by unique interior choices like vintage Bollywood film posters.
