1 Best Restaurant in Kirkwall, Orkney and Shetland Islands

Lucano

$$ Fodor's choice
This modern trattoria-style Italian restaurant has been taken to the heart of Orcadians, and rightly so, as it delivers an abundant menu of good Italian food. From pizza to classic pasta dishes—with fulsomely meaty carbonara and Bolognese and very tasty vegetarian burro e salvia (butter and sage) and pesto—to excellent secondi piatti such as chicken in rosemary, it's got something for every appetite. Decor is clean and stylish, with a tile floor, wooden tables, red chairs, and chalkboard menus on the wall. The ice-cream puddings make for a nice finish.
