tipo is an Italian-inspired restaurant at 110 Hanover Street in Edinburgh. Part of the Aizle Hospitality group, it combines individual tables, counter seats and a dedicated pasta room in an informal setting that still pays close attention to craft and produce.
Pasta is made in house and forms the core of the menu, joined by cured meats and small plates built from local and artisan Scottish ingredients. Seasonal combinations allow familiar Italian forms to change through the year without losing their direct, ingredient-led character.
The sharing format lets a table move from focaccia, croquettes and vegetable plates into several pasta dishes before dessert. Signature soft serve and more traditional sweets provide contrasting finishes, while set lunches offer a concise way to experience the cooking earlier in the day.
Small family-owned wineries shape the wine list, and classic cocktails are also served at the bar. The pasta room can accommodate groups and private bookings. The restaurant can cater for several dietary needs, but guests should contact the team in advance when requirements are complex.
