ITRI HITLISTED AGAIN 2011/2012

NOT EVEN THREE YEARS FROM THE OPENING
ITRI HAS BEEN HITLISTED IN THE LIST MAGAZINE
EATING AND DRINKING GUIDE
FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

IF YOU LOVE ITALIAN FOOD YOU MUST TRY ITRI

This charming neighbourhood restaurant is the place to come
to receive an education in Italian food. The enthusiastic young owners
are passionate about bringing authentic dishes of Italy to Edinburgh,
happily sharing recipes with customers.
A point is made of using high quality ingredients sourced locally,
this particularly shines out in the excellent seafood dishes.
The saute` di pesce uses the sweetest, freshest shellfish in a simple
white wine and garlic sauce. Home-made ravioli are light and pillowy,
stuffed with ricotta and tossed in sage scented butter.
Even a simple side dish of cauliflower is transformed into a thing of joy
by being fried in garlic and oil giving it a caramelised flavour.
Puddings are equally good, particularly the Tiramisu` with decadent
folds of mascarpone. The atmosphere is laid back
and there is no stiff formality to the service, fitting for a place
frequented by returning locals.
As to the look, walls are exposed brick, lights are low and
the mood is one of happy satiation.

+ Amazing food and great-value set lunch
- Location (unless you live in Viewforth)
