What a little gem! Had a lovely lunch with a friend and enjoyed the food and the ambiance. This is an authentic Italian restaurant that has a cosy but classy feel to it. The owner was very welcoming, friendly and was happy to spend time with his customers. We will be back! Highly recommend.

Came here with my boyfriend for a last minute date whilst we were visiting and we definitely weren’t disappointed. The food was incredible and accommodating for my boyfriend who is vegetarian. The dessert was equally as enjoyable and we will 100% be back the next time we find ourselves in Inverness. Highly recommend.

Everything about our meal at Little Italy was excellent. The food was delicious, totally yummy and authentic. We ate a prawn starter and pastas for main. The staff were fab and made our night. The restaurant has a lovely vibe is very authentic. Can't wait to go back the next time I'm working in Inverness. Happy Days

My wife and I ate here a couple times (dinner & lunch) on our recent Scotland trip. The pasta and pizza were both outstanding, highly recommend. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Cozy interior and if you’re lucky with weather, as we were, they have a few outside tables.

Tasty authentic Italian, just tucked away a little. Friendly staff and a good selection. The lunchtime menu offered slightly smaller plates - but with all of the flavour of Italy!
