2. L'artigiano
Where: 73 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh EH3 9PU. Squaremeal says: It’s a cute little spot with exposed brick walls, mosaic tiles and hanging woven lampshades, while dishes are familiar and affordable. Photo: L'artigiano
3. Amarone
Where: 12-13 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2AF. Squaremeal says: Another George Street Italian housed in a grand old bank building, Amarone doesn’t boast quite the same jaw-dropping interior design as Contini but it’s still a great one-stop shop for anything from breakfast and coffee to pizzas, pasta and trattoria classics.

4. Mamma Roma
Where: 4-7 Antigua Street, Edinburgh EH1 3NH. Squaremeal says: Mamma Roma is a quirky, family-run restaurant just opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse split over three areas. There’s a theatre-themed restaurant upstairs, a rustic downstairs dining room and a third dining area next door inspired by a family trip to Venice. Photo: Mamma Roma
