New menus launch
We have a shared vision for an innovative Italian dining experience born out of and inspired by the best Osteria, originally a place serving wine and simple food. Eat good, small plate Italian food made from fresh, locally sourced produce, sharing plates and selected mains. Luxurious desserts.
Drink fine and affordable Italian wines, beers and signature cocktails.

WELCOME TO
LA BOCCA
Relaxed, sharing food, fuelling conversation, making every meet-up or meal an event.
This is the La Bocca way.
The Italian way of socialising and eating that we have set out. We serve the best Italian food, but we are very much a local restaurant. We champion local suppliers and producers, and we support local community projects, causes, artists, and people.

My husband and I dined here today. They went above and beyond. I am gluten free, they accommodated my dietary requirements without hesitation. We will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

We’ll be back,
la Bocca!
Wow. This hidden gem in Edinburgh is truly worth a visit. A few friends and I came here and it exceeded our expectations. The service was amazing, namely Abbie who was so brilliant and accommodated us with a beautiful table by the window. We had the sharing platter which was delicious. The extensive Italian wine list has something for everyone. The whole atmosphere was so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!
