Scarpetta is a proper Italian gem. Antonio, the manager, really knows how to run a place. Welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate. The parmigiana was hands down the best I’ve had in the UK. Rich, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The wine list is small, but well chosen. Everything on there is good, which honestly makes it easier to pick. And trust me, finish your meal with a grappa! it’s the perfect ending.

Happened upon Scarpetta as we were walking about on our first night in Edinburgh. They worked us in even though we didn’t have a reservation. They were very friendly. The food was mouthwatering! The cocktails were among the best we’ve had! Truly enjoyed the experience!
