Bar Napoli is a family Italian restaurant at 75 Hanover Street in Edinburgh's New Town, a short walk from George Street and Princes Street. For more than three decades it has welcomed local diners and visitors into a lively room suited to lunches, celebrations, pre-theatre meals and relaxed dinners.
The extensive menu balances classic Italian favourites with more contemporary combinations. Antipasti include cured meats, mozzarella, seafood and homemade pâté, followed by poultry, fish, steak and veal dishes for diners who want a traditional multi-course meal.
Pasta, risotto and pizza form the heart of the selection. Choices range from freshly filled pasta and oven-baked lasagne to seafood risotto, spaghetti with clams, vegetable sauces and twelve-inch pizzas made with Italian mozzarella and the restaurant's own tomato base.
A full wine list, beer, spirits, soft drinks and hot beverages accompany the food, while lunch offers make the restaurant practical for a daytime visit. Gluten free pasta is available on request, and guests with allergies or intolerances should speak to staff before ordering so current ingredients can be checked.
Address: 75 Hanover Street, Edinburgh EH2 1EE, Scotland
