Ciao Roma is a family run Italian restaurant situated in the heart of Edinburgh.
Inspired by the endless fresh delicacies prepared by Nonna, Ciao Roma aims to bring a little slice of rural Italy to Edinburgh. Where the next dish was only ever a hop over the garden wall, scooped up from the surrounding, sprawling countryside. Her kitchen table was a place to connect to the important things in life. No matter the time of day, no matter how many people already crowded round the overflowing tables, everyone was welcome. Here’s to Nonna.
Family run since 1990, Ciao Roma has made its reputation serving authentic Italian food using only the finest quality ingredients. Our menu emphasises the use of simple, fresh produce, lovingly combined to bring out the best of a wide range of classic & contemporary Italian dishes. Our finest quality, home made, traditional artisan pasta is produced on site at Ciao Roma which adds to the authenticity of our Italian cuisine.
We are proud to announce that Ciao Roma has been nominated Italian Restaurant of the Year by readers of the Edinburgh Evening News.

AWARD WINNING ICE CREAM
Martone Ice Cream - devastatingly delicious gelato.
Curious flavour concoctions from the brilliant mind of Fabio Martone. From donut flavoured ice cream to mascarpone & balsamic, to the more traditional, but never the less mouthwatering, pistachio; he delights in experimentation. Made in-house daily by Fabio himself, he believes in sourcing only the finest quality seasonal produce available. Zero nasties or preservatives ensure the most luxurious finish.
Swing by for a cone or coorie in with a decadent sundae…see you soon!
