Bella Mbriana

"Bella 'Mbriana" translates roughly as a highly specific ghost of Italian legend whose presence in the household casts a protective, welcoming and reassuring glow over all inhabitants. If, in spite of this spectre's benign intentions, the idea of a restaurant dedicated to a symbol of the supernatural is still one you find slightly unnerving, fear not; this Neapolitan New Town eaterie hasn't a hint of the occult in its funkily informal warm-toned furnishings and its fiercely authentic menu. With a kitchen full of born and bred Italian chefs, the emphasis here is on capturing the nuanced flavours of Naples and presenting them to the rather jaded Scottish palate.
And if you do happen to spy a lonely lamp-wielding phantom floating beside your starter, don't be scared, just pity the poor love who can no longer taste it.
