Noto

You'll find Noto tucked into one of New Town's most handsome streets, where Georgian facades give way to proper Italian cooking. The place has that rare quality of feeling both refined and genuinely welcoming—not the sort of spot that makes you feel like you're performing fine dining. The kitchen takes its pasta seriously, doing the kind of stuff that doesn't need faffing about with foam or tweezers. Wood-fired flavours run through the menu, and there's a wine list that suggests someone actually knows what they're doing rather than just markups on obvious names.
