The Roamin' Nose

Finding an Italian restaurant in the bonny Edinburgh district of Bonnington has never been easier. You don’t need a truffle-sensitive hog, you simply need to wake up, smell the roses, and head to the Roamin’ Nose on Eyre Place. Homemade Italian dishes, Italian espresso and that crucial component, wine, are all on the cards here, and the restaurant itself is as stylish as they come. For lunch, get yourself Scottish smoked salmon with fennel slaw and leafy greens on a Germagrain bread with Roamin’ Nose’s house chips and salad or the hearty Roamin’ burger. The Italian tang really comes into its own come the evening, with premium sausages and pied de mutton mushrooms stewed in a tomato sauce with pecorino Romana and served on polenta. For a fruity vegetarian hit, go for the fig risotto with wild fennel seeds, tarragon, parsley and pecorino, and don’t forget to check the boards for the daily specials.
