Zucca, located in Edinburgh’s theatre district behind the Traverse theatre, in between the Royal Lyceum and the Usher hall, aims to offer a combination of friendly service, creative but simple menus alongside a good selection of wines. The food is elegant but simple, including some locally sourced produced. The Chef’s signature dishes include potato Gnocchi with braised duck and pistachio, the classic meat ragu` made with wild boar meat, an ever changing Risotto that reflects both seasonality and the chefs’ creativity and many other dishes which range from the classical to the most innovative combination maintaining a Mediterranean theme throughout. There is also an original but unpretentious selection of good wines, reflecting the best style each Italian region has to offer.
