There are some real hidden gems, winning an award at the Italian Awards can change your hidden gem into a national sensation!" “Our 10th anniversary did not disappoint, the passion and determination of Italian restaurateurs helps maintain Italian cuisine as the number one choice for diners in Scotland. I want to congratulate all winners and highly recommended businesses for 2023.
