Zucca, located on Grindlay Street 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 produce. The Italian restaurant’s Old Town location is within walking distance of Princes Street as well as the West End.
Some signature dishes at Zucca include potato gnocchi with braised duck and pistachio, the homemade haggis ravioli with shredded turnip and potatoes, and an ever changing risotto that reflects both seasonality and the chefs’ creativity. On offer are 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.
Zucca Cafe & Restaurant is around fifteen minutes on foot from both Haymarket and Waverley train stations and bus stops can be found in the surrounding streets. A taxi rank can be found on nearby Lothian Road as well as payable off street parking on Castle Terrace a few moments away.
