A "no brainer for great Italian food" recommends Pete J. You're spoiled for choice - smoked pancetta, roasted peppers, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and cream; or even ravioli filled with meat ragu.
Café Domenico
30 Sandport Street, Edinburgh
The "pretty unassuming" exterior of this restaurant belies its interior, which boasts "the classic decor of a local Italian dive with checkered tablecloths". Scott R tells of the great value "pasta and wine special" for winter, and with seafood spaghetti on the menu it seems rude to refuse!
The Italian Caffé
92 Albion Street, Glasgow
"The style of food is based on an ancient Roman "Pit Stop" from when Centurions would be travelling cross country. So the food is hearty but in small portions!" Jonathan Q loves that you can fill up on a variety of pastas - penne in rich tomato sugo, linguine with king prawns or spaghetti with Italian sausage!
