Palatino
Edinburgh
From Amalfi with love: a trattoria with a wink and a dough-eyed crush on Edinburgh.
Tucked into the West End with a striped awning and a wink of Baroque flair, Patatino is your go-to for long lunches, romantic dinners, and everything in between. Inspired by the sun-soaked charm of the Amalfi Coast and the warmth of Italian hospitality, this laidback spot serves trattoria classics with a Scottish twist - all wrapped in a swirl of candlelight, velvet-lined banquettes, and lemon-scented nostalgia. The menu brings together Italy’s greatest hits with best-in-class local produce: pillowy house-made pastas, sourdough pizzas by a Sicilian pizzaiolo, and seafood and steaks kissed by the coals. Once you’ve made it through the mains (just try not to lick the plate), don’t even think about skipping dessert. Round it off with tiramisù (what else?) and a tableside negroni misted with strawberry or Amalfi lemon.
Why we love it
The Vibe: Pink walls and lemon-print flourishes set the scene for a sunnier state of mind, whatever the weather outside
The Food: Italy’s comfort icons get the best of Scotland’s larder
The Drinks: Spritzes, peachy bellinis, and house negronis finished with flair right at your table

Where you'll be
The West End
Haymarket is where Edinburgh’s past and present meet. A storied transport hub turned cultural crossroads. Known as the West End Village, the area blends Georgian townhouses with a steady rhythm of independent cafés, wine bars, and local favourites. Take a stroll along the Water of Leith to reach the postcard charm of Stockbridge, or head in the other direction toward Edinburgh Castle, just a short walk away. Come summer, the neighbourhood hums with riverside walks and G&Ts in the sun. You’re also within walking distance of most Edinburgh Fringe venues, ideal for festival dipping without the full-on crowds. It’s a neighbourhood that moves at its own pace: creative, connected, and quietly buzzing.
