Newest trattoria in town opens soon

The Hoxton Edinburgh is set to open on 1 July along with its modern Italian restaurant Patatino which is inspired by the trattorias of Sorrento.
From 1 to 6 July the restaurant is offering 50% off all food.
Patatino takes its name from an Italian term of endearment (literally 'little potato') and will offer 'joyous hospitality and a laid-back romantic atmosphere', and the menu combines hearty Italian dishes with local Scottish produce – many with a creative twist, including:
Deep fried spaghetti squares with tomato and spicy basil pesto
Linguine with shellfish bisque, Eyemouth crab and Amalfi lemon
Pizza with 'nduja, haggis, jalapeño, hot honey and fior di latte
Panettone pudding
To start, menu highlights include Deep Fried Spaghetti Squares with Tomato and Spicy Basil Pesto; Arancini with Slow-Cooked Brisket, Pea and Smoked Tomato and Charcoal Focaccia.These are followed by pastas including Linguine with Shellfish Bisque, Eyemouth Crab and Amalfi Lemon and Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, as well as sourdough pizzas topped with Scottish Buffalo Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Pesto or, for the more adventurous, 'Nduja, Haggis, Jalapeño, Hot Honey and Fior di Latte. Desserts include a traditional Tiramisù, made to a recipe shared by the Hoxton's chef in Florence and Rome, and a Panettone Pudding, an Italian take on a bread and butter pudding.
Seafood – including lobster and Scottish langoustines – is sourced from John Vallance fishmongers, while meat comes from third generation family butcher John Gilmour, which sources grass-fed beef from sustainable farms in Scotland.
The drinks list offers creative spins on quintessential Italian cocktails, including spritzes – from the classic Aperol and Hugo serves to a refreshing Grapefruit and Olive Spritz – as well as 'House Special' negronis, finished tableside with a choice of peach, strawberry or Amalfi lemon mist garnishes.
These sit alongside a signature selection of 'Made in Italia' serves created for Patatino by The Hoxton's bar teams in Rome and Florence, including a Pata-tini with Gin, Cocchi Rosa and RinQuinQuin, and the Solemn Pomace with strawberry-infused grappa, lime and sugar. The all-Italian wine list is split by region, mixing bottles from Italy's most respected winemakers with wines from up-and-coming artisan producers.
To reach the restaurant diners may enter through the hotel lobby or from the street entrance which will be unmistakable with a scalloped stripe awning and dramatic florals. Inside the decor is vibrant hot pink with dramatic lighting. At its heart, a bite-sized interpretation of a Baroque-style Italian fountain is surrounded by banquettes upholstered in rich tones of mid-blue velvet, navy leather, and dark-stained timber.
Patatino will open at The Hoxton, Edinburgh on Tuesday 1st July. Online reservations are now open online at sevenrooms.com/reservations/patatino
Opening hours:
Monday – Wednesday: 5pm – 9:30pm
Thursday – Saturday: 12pm – 4pm / 5pm – 9:30pm
Sunday: 12pm – 6pm

10 of London's best rooftop bars for summer

It sure is hot here in the UK and down south the heatwave is sizzling in London. But there's nothing quite like a tipple in the summer sun, so if you're in search of somewhere with stellar views and a light breeze, a rooftop bar is the way to go. Whether you want to gaze out toward The Shard, indulge in some delicious food, or have a boogie while the DJ plays – we think we've got something for everyone. So, if you're in need of some inspiration for your next night out, Metro has 10 picks of the city's best rooftop venues… When you're 11 floors up at this rooftop bar with views of the Gherkin and St Pauls, there are few views that rival it. The award-winning Florattica is known for its iconic flower ceiling, al fresco dining and a DJ that brings the coolest vibes – it's a spot you don't want to miss. Be sure to try some of its experimental cocktails, and line your stomach with a selection of small plates and fresh pasta. Location: Level 11, Canopy by Hilton London City, 11-15 Minories, EC3N 1AX Tube: Aldgate (Circle or Metropolitan lines) If you're a sucker for Italian-ish drinks, small dishes and stunning views then Forza Wine is another great find. Yes, there's wine, but the cocktail menu is another great selling point, with a rhubarb manhattan, apple tom collins and even a frozen cucumber margarita. There's two locations but Peckham really takes the cake. Location: The Rooftop, 133A Rye Lane, London, SE15 4BQ Train: Peckham Rye (connects to Jubilee and Northern Lines) You'll get some pretty unparalleled views of the skyline at this iconic venue, and although it's located mainly indoors it'll feel as though you're out in the open thanks to the surrounding greenery and huge picture windows. There are two bars to choose from – Sky Pod and City Garden – where you can sip your cocktail or G&T while watching the sunset, as well as three restaurants within the building. It's a must-visit, although be aware it doesn't come cheap – cocktails start at around £15, while the cheapest glass of wine will set you back a tenner. Location: Rooftop, Mercury House, 109-117 Waterloo Road London, SE1 8UL Tube: Waterloo (Northern, Bakerloo and Jubilee Lines) Moving further west, you can soak up the sunshine and the views at the Paddington-based Pergola – which has the feel of a beach venue with its rattan fixtures and fittings and palm trees dotted around. As well as cocktails you can also make the most of street food vendors serving up fried chicken, burgers and Japanese dishes (at time of writing: the menu changes from time to time). There's also a bottomless brunch on Sundays, and a DJ at weekends spinning timeless classics. You can book in advance if visiting in a group but there's space for walk-ins too. Location: 5 Kingdom St, London W2 6PY Tube: Paddington (Bakerloo, Hammersmith and City, Circle, District and Elizabeth Lines) Having opened in 2023, this rooftop gem has already made an impression, becoming very popular on TikTok. Offering stunning vistas of the iconic London skyline and lounge tables to get comfy on, it's the perfect place to unwind. Offering a unique blend of Japanese and Mexican food including sushi andtacos, you can indulge in delicious light but tasty bites. There's also Sunday sessions from 1pm to 9pm which offer DJ sets as you watch the sun go down. Location: 9th Floor, 100 Liverpool Street, London, EC2M 2AT Tube: Liverpool Street (Elizabeth, Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines) In the heart of Soho you can indulge in a Turkish-inspired menu and divine cocktails at Yasmin. You can use this as a go-to spot for date nights, a catch up with friends or even private dining, six floors up. The best bites on offer are the sumac duck, chicken shish and the whipped sheep's cheese and flatbread. Location: 1 Warwick St, London W1B 5LR Tube: Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly line and the Bakerloo line) For those who like the finer things in life, venture to Seabird which offers panoramic views at 14 floors up, and oysters. At the top of The Hoxton you can indulge in some sangria, which is perfect for the sorching summer, or even frozen mojitos. It even has a late-night residency with Ronnie Scott offering classic jazz and bespoke martinis. Location: 40 Blackfriars Road, London, United Kingdom SE1 8PB Tube: Southwark (Jubilee line) If you prefer to glance out at Tower Bridge then head 12 floors up to Savage Garden. Indulge in live music, good wine and very funky cocktails – but it is on the pricier side. Perched on top of the Double Tree by Hilton it's elegant and chic, but it gets very busy so you'll probably want to book in advance. Location: Savage Garden, 7, Pepys Street, EC3N 4AF Tube: Tower Hill (Circle and District lines) Now hear us out on this one because it's atop the John Lewis flagship store, but it's a true find. Offering a stunning rooftop escape with breathtaking city views, private greenhouses, and an elegant open-air terrace, it's great for a laid back afternoon with friends. The menu features fruit-forward brambles; Kumquat Old Fashioned; and a Calamansi Margarita with a spiced ancho chili rim. As the sun sets, live DJ sets on Friday and Saturday nights set the mood, making 1864 the ultimate spot for an elevated rooftop experience in the heart of London. Location: Sixth floor, 300 Oxford St, London W1C 1DX Tube: Oxford Circus and Bond Street (Bakerloo, Central, and Victoria lines and Jubilee and Elizabeth lines) Located on the 10th floor of the ME London hotel, Radio Rooftop not only offers a superb cocktail list, but also a 360-degree views that shows off the capital's skyline and the River Thames. More Trending It's a fabulous spot to chill out with a drink, as well as enjoy dishes from the seasonal menu – but be aware that it doesn't come cheap. A glass of champagne will set you back around £16, while a cocktail comes in at around £19.
