Ferrari on starting grid

As the name delicately hints, Ristorante Ferrari is a new Italian restaurant which has opened in the Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh.

Regional Italian cooking is the name of the game from the family-owned restaurant.

The Sunday Herald’s Joanna Blythman was not impressed by a recent trip although she does point out that it is very early days for the venture.

Barolo Grill is a new addition to Glasgow's Italian scene

As ever, Scotland’s appetite for Italian restaurants shows no sign of diminishing. We’ve already told you about new 5pm members Barolo Grill and Amarone which recently opened in Glasgow and Edinburgh respectively.

Other new Italian kids on the block include a branch of the Strada chain which has opened on Edinburgh’s Castle Street and we are hearing vague rumours of a new Italian in Paisley.

As has been widely reported, a new branch of Jamie’s Italian is pencilled in for Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms at an as yet unspecified date.

In Glasgow, there are just under five weeks to go until Pesto opens on St Vincent Street. The company already has branches in Liverpool and Manchester.
