Mia Italian Kitchen is a family-run Italian restaurant, established in Edinburgh in 2013 and now a firm favourite in Morningside. We serve authentic Italian food cooked with real ingredients, a carefully chosen wine list, and the kind of warm, relaxed welcome that makes people want to stay a little longer.
