Top Best Italian Restaurants in Anstruther

"is perhaps St Andrews’ most dramatic and picturesque place to eat. Located on the edge of a high bank with the sea foaming just below, the restaurant affords spectacular views of the Scottish coastline, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows which make up its four walls. The interior is fresh and modern, with white tablecloths and contemporary furniture providing a calming contrast to the awe-inspiring views outside."

"To start with the cool modern building, with its huge panoramic windows, gives you a fabulous view of the sea and West Sands beyond. Then there is the food – only the best locally sourced ingredients are used including lobsters from Anstruther, scallops from Orkney and sea trout from Loch Etive. All with an Italian twist, the result is simply out of this world."

"If the ambiance in Little Italy isn’t enough to make you know this is the spot for romance, the food will do it. Have a Lady & The Tramp movie moment with one of their incredible pastas and few glasses of red wine for a perfect date night. : When you’re splashing out on your special someone (or yourself), order the Lobster Ravioli for a full-on food-gasm."

"13/06/2021: Every time we come to st Andrews we stop at little Italy for lunch. We passed at 12 and asked for a table for two and were told they open at one and to come back then. We wandered for an hour and returned to find people already sitting and getting drinks."

"This is a real Italian family restaurant, and you feel that the minute you arrive. Service is great and the food is excellent. Menu is extensive from Pizza to wonderful steak and veal."

"This small Italian deli on Bell Street is easy to miss but is a must when it comes to lunch. Their ingredients are fresh, the service is friendly, and their food is some of the finest in town. The parma ham sandwich is one of their most popular sandwiches, but choose any sandwich and a drink for a quick and cheap-ish lunch at just £5.50."

"This ever popular chain pizza restaurant is just off South Street and is especially good for families. This restaurant is over 2 floors but booking in the summer is recommended."

"Spread across 18 acres with a whopping collection of 8000 plant species, the St Andrews Botanic Garden is one of the highlights of the city. The hike through the Gruffalo trail is something every nature lover must try . The place arranges activities for children as well."

"The St Andrews Botanic Garden has been described as a 'hidden gem' of Scotland . The Friends of St Andrews Botanic Garden have spend huge amounts of time and effort to make this garden a wonderful experience. See more on their website here."

"Dr Neil’s Garden is a wonderfully quaint place to wile away an afternoon or as a pit-stop on your way up to Arthur’s Seat. Tip: If you're lucky you may catch deer cooling off in the nearby Loch. *Guide-dog friendly!"

"Edinburgh’s quintessential secret garden, in the shadow of a 12th-century kirk, is one of the most peaceful green spaces in Scotland. Cultivated in the 1960s by doctors Andrew and Nancy Neil from a scrappy piece..."

"There is always something on the menu to suit all taste buds. We ordered beef with soya sauce, vegetables and noodles and for myself mixed vegetables, hot coconut curry sauce and noodles. Definately hit the spot and I loved my choice, the coconut curry sauce was hot, tasty and complimented the vegetables and noodles."

"St Andrews is a town steeped in history and most notably its historic buildings. One of the oldest pieces of architecture in St Andrews is the Cathedral. You can find out more information about what to find here by visiting our History of the Castle and Cathedral Page."

"The West Port Bar & Kitchen, St Andrews, is a contemporary “gastro pub” located in the heart of the picturesque town famed for golf. A favourite destination for locals and students – plus visitors to the golf courses, sandy St Andrews’ beaches and the Castle. www.thewestport.co.uk"

"Lovely food, a mix of traditional fare and something more special – all tastes are catered for. With an amazing large beer garden out the back, this is THE lunch spot on a sunny St Andrews day. Great for families, with fab baby changing and kids menus."

"This ruined medieval castle was built in the 14th century and gradually added to over the centuries until it fell into disrepair in the 1700s. Mary, Queen of Scots recuperated here after an illness following the birth of her son, James VI, who would later become James I of Great Britain after the Union of the Crowns. The structure is a fascinating example of a medieval castle and much of it still stands, including the tower house and the defensive walls."
