Over the years Vittoria has became a very popular place for my Friend's birthdays and end of term meals. With it being a small walk away from Bristo Square it is very convenient. Every time I have eaten there, I have eaten well and thoroughly enjoyed the food! Prices are not too expensive either. Furthermore, I have even sat at a table next to one of the members of the Proclaimers! Every time I have ventured to this restaurant I have always had various kinds of pizza, which always have a nice crisped base! The only downside to this place, like it's near neighbour the Elephant House is that it is always busy and as it has become more popular it has lost that little something. Service is still not bad, but does suffer under the weight of the amount of customers. It is worth a visit, and it most be pretty good if the Proclaimers eat there! read more

Saturday lunchtime deal was brilliant. Half price deal sale was a bargain with amazing food. Service was great and quick, a delightful dining experience. read more

Decided to check out this place based on yelp reviews. They offered many different pizza options so went with the calabrese. My waitress was great and gave me her food and wine suggestions. Pizza was fantastic! Also got an order of tiramisu which was really good too! read more

Vittoria on the Bridge is another restaurant owned by the Crolla family, who are now forming a formidable empire spanning Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond, so I think they should be able to handle a wee 2 star review without the fear that the business will suffer. This was my first visit to Vittoria's, as I somehow managed to pry myself away from the sister restaurant, 'La Favorita' on Leith Walk. As with all the Crolla establishments, the place looks great, service was good and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, unlike my trusty old favourite, the food just wasn't as good and the pizza didn't even come close. Our starter, a large mixed antipasto was faultless, the ingredients were all high quality and we had a nice mix of cured meats (prosciutto, bresaola, mortadella, milano etc), cheeses, olives and picked / marinated vegetables. The mains not so good, my veal was pretty tough, overdone and incredibly heavy, seriously why so much cheese? Melted cheese really gets me, this is so unItalian, (probably a bad habit picked up from America). In Italy less is more, the food is really simple hence why its delicious. Also, the 'grilled' tuna turned out to be coated in breadcrumbs and fried, surely this is sacrilege? So all in all a mixed bag but a star for the great service and one for the huge and tasty antipasto and delicious espresso. read more

Met a friend here for lunch and we were both well impressed. Service was good and fast, so fast they also cleared my chai before I was done drinking it! Pasta was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Though you'd expect nothing less from this Italian 'chain'. I've been to La Favourita a few times, but this was my first visit to Vittoria and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Prices are reasonable for center of town and portions weren't too bad, tho it was definitely a 2 course lunch. Think I would have left slightly hungry if I hadn't had dessert. read more

Desperately racking my mind for somewhere to go on Saturday night for dinner with a group of friends, I settled on choosing an old favourite - Vittoria's. Having been out of the Edinburgh circuit for a few months now, I'm already seeing new places popping up that I don't recognise, which look exciting - but sometimes you just need to go somewhere you know you'll get a good meal. And this is one of those places. The menu is extensive and will cater for all tastes - I'm pretty sure most of their pizzas and pastas are available GF too. My favourite bit about this place though is that they offer a half-pizza, half-pasta dish for when you just can't make that decision. On Saturday I had a half-Hawaiian and half-carbonara which was delicious. The desserts list is equally impressive, with a wide selection of ice creams and sundaes. It's normally busy here (a good sign!) so I'd advise anyone going to book in advance. Lovely atmosphere too, and the staff are always very efficient and attentive. Up there with my favourite Italians in Edinburgh. read more

Looks good from the sidewalk and they talk a good game. Food was incredibly average, maybe less than average. The service was worse. You know the service was bad when the server apologizes for the bad service when he hands you the bill and the manager says Sorry as you walk out the door instead of good night. If you want authentic Italian keep walking or hold your cravings til the next day. read more

LOVE my Yelp app especially when I'm looking for food in foreign places. My friends and I were about everywhere during the Fringe and wanted to have dinner that didn't involve standing on the street corner. I did a quick search and luckily this Italian place was nearby. We put our name down, decided to get a few drinks across the street. I think most places in Edinburgh were really busy so waiting was expected. I LOVE that they give you the option of having half portion of pizza and pasta if you can't decide. I'm always struggling between the two so it was great to have the best of both worlds. I had the Ortolana pizza (Yum!) and veggie lasagne (was more like a lump of cheese with veggies... probably wouldn't order this again). I think the pizza was definitely better than the lasagne but maybe I should've tried the meat one. read more

The bolognese pasta was great. Nice atmosphere and great service.

This place was amazing! The hubs and I visited Edinburgh on holiday and came to this place on a whim. Per my husband, this was some of the best Italian he ever had. The restaurant is quite large and is also a little loud. So if you would like a quiet intimate dinner this is not the place. However, if you would like delicious Italian food, you need to go here. We split a pizza and pasta in addition to a few starters and everything was amazing. The pizza dough was so good and the toppings were fresh. We ordered a slightly spicy pasta and it was wonderful. I love when there is a bit of heat to my food. The servers were delightful. Continually checking up to see if we needed more bread or water - especially as the pasta was a little spicy. They provided a phenomenal experience and if we are ever back, I am sure we will come here to eat. read more

Not impressed. Hubs and I went here after reading good reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor. Our garlic toast was tasty and we ate it up. Hubs' pasta with bolognese was decent and he ate it all. My chicken wrapped in Parma ham not so much....dried out. Zuke frites were cold and sent back only to return without the dipping sauce. What once may have been a quality food stop has got a little too big for its own good. Server was fab though. read more

My last name is Italian, so with years of grandma trying to fatten me up with lasagne and antipastos, I have been tried and tested on the pizza and Italian food in this city. Vittoria makes me happy. My favorite professor is Italian... like from Italy. My parents (Italian last name too) came to visit, my friend who just arrived home from Italy, my Spanish friend whose wife is Italian... etc. etc. All of them loved this place. I don't care if it's generic Italian food. It's exactly what you want when you want Italian food. CHEESE, TOMATOES, BALSAMIC, OLIVE OIL, OLIVES, FRESH PARMESAN, HOMEMADE PASTA, THIN CRUST, SALMON, ALFREDO, PESTO, GARLIC, FRESH BREAD... No, it's not weird fusion shit. It's not over-the-top local ingredients which some of the fancy Italian places have (NO OLIVES IN SCOTLAND...). It's about 20 actual off the boat/plane Italian people running the show, and you can see that, on their lunch and dinner breaks they EAT THE FOOD... What else do you need to know? read more

Despite the issues with their sound system (music kept going on and off), we had a good and reasonably priced dinner that comprised of calamari, focaccia and spaghetti and meatballs. The wine was also reasonably priced, so we just bought a bottle! read more

I think this has to be the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. All their dishes seem to be faultless and the Tiramisu in particular is off the freaking hook. They do get busy so be sure to book a table. read more

Split across two levels, and very rarely empty, Vittoria on the bridge is a family owned Itaian restaurant which is great for a friendly family evening meal. Indeed, my family and I dined here recently and the experience was a great one - from the moment we arrived we felt welcome and cozy, with our waiter (whose name escapes me) showing nothing but helpfulness and friendlyness. It was only after our orders had been taken (from a vast and very tempting menu) that I realised how full Vittorias was. Despite this, the service was impecable, and the food was on our tables very quickly. The carbanara that I had ordered was sublime, rich and tasty. Each of us exclaimed that our own food was amazing, and indeed it was. Vittoria is a great place for you and your family to go for a beautiful Italian meal. read more

Vittoria - Dessert - Italian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Had a fantastic meal here with a couple of friends while up in Edinburgh. They didn't really have any available tables however they managed to accommodate us which was much appreciated and after our meal, I'm so glad they did! The selection of food on offer is very overwhelming and it took us quite a while to chose from the extensive and very tempting menu. To start we just had garlic bread to share which was good, garlicky and wonderfully crunchy. I then had the Diavola pizza which was fantastically spicy, my two friends had Paolo pizza and the penne with chicken and red pesto. Both friends were suitably impressed. Unfortunately we didn't have time to sample their lovely looking ice cream but we came away feeling very contended. Good food, good value for money and a good atmosphere. read more

We were in here in December 2017 and my son (age 11), can't stop talking about this. Great food and atmosphere. A little noisy (aka lively). Such a fun place. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent high quality food, service, and atmosphere. Came here on whim, was passing through definitely had one of the best meals here in Edinburgh. They have a £8 main lunch deal which is a steal and the staff is very tentative and friendly! read more

Always bustling with diners, providing rapid and friendly service, and easily affordable, Vittoria is simply a great Italian restaurant. I've been here loads with family and friends and have not once left dissatisfied. The problem with Vittoria's menu is that there's too many tempting pasta and pizza dishes. Not to worry, Vittoria address this dilemma by offering half of your chosen pizza with a smaller portion of your preferred pasta. Simple yet affective this idea has brought me back to dine on many occasions. Quick tip, keep an eye out for the bin end wines as occasionally you'll bag a top quality bottle for a heavily discounted price. Aside from having things well covered in the restaurant department, throughout the day you may spot the mini ice cream parlour (beside the entrance) as you pass by. Discovering their delicious Tiramisu flavoured ice cream on one of Edinburgh's sparse sunny days my opinion of Vittoria was yet again boosted. read more

With regards to lunchtime voyages of discovery, the last two weeks have been very kind to me. Several establishments on George IV Bridge have found a permanent place in my heart, and having just scoffed one of the tastiest tortilla-based treats on the planet across the street, rounding my feast off with what has to be one of the best ice-creams I've ever had at Vittoria provided a fairytale ending to my hour of freedom. They had shitloads of flavours, but I decided to play it safe with the vanilla. Superlatives can't really do it justice, and despite being quite expensive for an ice-cream cone at £2.50, I'd say it was easily worth double, perhaps treble that. They only seem to open the ice-cream takeaway bit on sunny days, so next time it's not pissing down, make a beeline for Vittoria. You'll thank me later. read more

Popped in for a quick lunch today. The menu is quite extensive. I ordered a mushroom brie wellington, not because I am a vegetarian - because I'm not - but because it sounded awesome. It was. Inventive and extremely tasty! Servers were all smiles. The atmosphere was a little noisy. We were a bit underdressed, but no one seemed to mind. My five year old loved the place, too! I just realized that in the commotion of trying to get a business card to leave at the B&B for future guests that I may have stiffed the staff on the tip!! If you work here and are reading this, contact me! read more

Nice friendly welcome, maybe too many choices on the menu! Choices for gluten/ wheat free diners. Nice early evening dinner read more

Highly recommend this!!! We ordered the lunch special, the spaghetti and mussels and ketchup for the onion rings are really good!!! read more

Vittoria is a very reliable Italian on George IV Bridge. We've visited on numerous occasions. Overall, we said: "we enjoyed Vittoria. It served us good dishes, in a lively environment, to a good standard. Next time you feel the need for Italian, particularly if you're in a medium sized group, head to Vittoria. They will serve your needs, very nicely." read more

We had a really wonderful time here. We were able to book a table for eight at short notice, were early, greeted in an extremely friendly fashion and shown to our table punctually. The waiters, especially Raphael, were helpful and fun. The food came with little delay, was very tasty as was the wine. We were entertained by the hen-parties and a tremendous time was had by all. read more

The excellent reviews inspired us to try it for lunch with a veggie cousin. Enough options for her and the lunch menu is superb value - starter and main for £10. A calamari starter could have been crisper and the batter lighter, but wasn't chewy which is always my worry. For main, egg parpadelle with mushrooms in truffle oil was so lush that my sister kept helping herself to it. Oi. Peanut butter ice-cream was pleasing, esp with the tasty textural addition of chopped peanuts. Service was speedy and attentive and the place was buzzing. Overall, molto bene. read more

Vittoria seems to get bigged up quite a lot by people in Edinburgh, but I don't buy it; I suspect the people that rave about this place also consider the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber to be the epitome of culture, more fool them. I have eaten here a few times and although the food is tasty, it is not exciting and I have never eaten anything that I didn't think I could prepare myself at home (I'm not a great cook by any stretch of the imagination). If you need a standard Italian to bring some culinary luddites to, then Vittoria ticks all the boxes; if you're looking for exciting Italian cuisine to take you back to a sun drenched terrace in Tuscany, this is not the place for you. read more

Oh, wow. This experience was just that: an experience. The food was absolutely lovely, I had the salmon, my friend the tonno and her son had the pizza margherita for children. Now I want it noted that this place is incredibly child-friendly in a non-pandering type of way. The staff, after we were seated, came over with a balloon for my friend's son and they continually treated him very well. He got a lot of attention and was treated like an actual person instead of a child (which in restaurants makes all the difference). Of course this won me and my friend over immediately. Now, the whole experience was just very pleasant. Attentive, but not overbearing, present but pleasant. It was a dining experience the way it *should* be. Something that actually left me refreshed instead of exhausted. And that never happens. Go here, eat, rejoice! read more

Hubby's carbonara w/mushrooms was very good. My Pesto w/chicken was good but it was sort of a light red sauce Pesto which was very unexpected and not the taste I was looking for. The red lighting is a bit distracting as you can't really see your dinner in true light. Good portions and good prices. Garlic bread was too thinly sliced, too oily and not toasted enough IMO. 4 stars for Carbonara & Service. 3 stars for the rest read more

This food is mediocre, it has a mass produced vibe with bland flavors. Also overpriced for what you get. I understand there really isn't great Italian in Edinburgh, but recommend going elsewhere. read more

A wonderfully friendly family run traditional Italian resturant . This new addition to the Vittoria family chain (the family also run Vittoria and La Favourita on Leith Walk) is much more centrally located and has a modern decor and nice atmosphere. The restaurant is large with additional seating in a large downstairs restaurant. The menu is extensive with no stone left unturned, great Pizza and Pastas and traditional Italian meat & Fish dishes leave you spoilt for choice and the wine list is a delight. Well worth a visit read more

Vittoria's staff are super friendly and will work hard to slot in your party even if you call only a few hours in advance. They do get very busy, though, so plan ahead if you want to eat at a particular time. The service is excellent and the atmosphere somehow manages to be both bustling and chill at the same time. Occasionally the wait staff might seem rushed but with a full house that can be overlooked -- they consistently deliver in all other areas. The food is good. I can't say AMAZING because having I constantly compare Italian restaurants to a place in Florence and a place in New York and never have any other Italian places come close...But taking away those two stellar exceptions, Vittoria's food is probably the best Italian in Edinburgh -- if not Scotland. Really lovely pastas and starters, only to be improved by increased portion size (please?). This is a great place for a birthday or to start a night out. Highly recommended. read more

We were out of town to see the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and looking for a nearby restaurant for dinner. The first couple of restaurants were full. Not only could Vittoria could accommodate our group, but the the service was amazing! Even better, the food was over the top good - I wish this restaurant was in my town!! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Edinburgh. Good prices, lively and friendly service. It is always busy here (we normally go to the Leith Walk Branch). The food is what you would expect from an italian restaurant - all the old favorites. Generous portions and great range of ice cream for pudding. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This is a lovely Italian with a good menu, good food and a good atmosphere. What impressed me most however on my visit was the quality of service- it couldn't have been better. As a part of a hen party of 20 (nightmare for the waiting staff), we received our drinks and three-course-meal with army precision. No one was left wating, our water glasses were contnuously filled up and or meals all arrived to the correct people at the same time. And all with a smile. read more
