Vittoria on the Bridge is a family run Italian restaurant at 19 George IV Bridge in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Open since 2007, it moves from relaxed daytime coffee and lunch to a more energetic dinner atmosphere. The central position is convenient for sightseeing, pre-theatre dining and celebrations.
Stone baked pizza and fresh pasta form the heart of the menu. Pizza dough is given time to develop and paired with mozzarella from Campania, while pasta made with Gragnano durum wheat carries both simple tomato sauces and richer meat or seafood combinations. Ingredients sourced from Italian artisan producers reinforce the regional character.
Antipasti, salads, chicken, fish and steaks give diners plenty of alternatives to pasta and pizza. Children’s choices and an extensive gluten free range make the restaurant practical for families and mixed groups. Guests with allergies should use the current menu information and speak with staff before ordering.
Italian wine, prosecco, cocktails and coffee complement the food, while classic desserts provide a familiar finish. A private party room can host larger celebrations and corporate occasions. Vittoria on the Bridge combines generous comfort food and polished hospitality in a lively Old Town dining room.
Address: 19 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EN, United Kingdom
