The Jolly Restaurant is a family-run Italian venue at 9 Elm Row in Edinburgh. Established in 1972 and later taken on by Vito Alongi, it continues a family cooking tradition rooted in Ischia and offers an informal, welcoming setting for lunch and dinner.

Pizza is cooked in the family’s traditional wood-fired oven, which has been used at the restaurant for decades. The heat gives the bases their characteristic texture and smoky flavour, with classic tomato and cheese combinations joined by seafood, cured meat and vegetable toppings.

Pasta, risotto, steak, salads and Scottish seafood extend the menu beyond pizza. Vegetarian choices are clearly marked and dishes may be adapted for vegan diners where possible, while children are welcomed with high chairs, changing facilities and a dedicated offer.

Generously portioned desserts provide a fitting finish to the home-style Italian food, and delivery or collection is available alongside the dining room. Guests with allergies should ask about current ingredients and kitchen handling, particularly for dishes containing gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts or seafood.

Address: 9 Elm Row, Edinburgh EH7 4AA, Scotland
