Following the introduction of the Scottish Government’s tier system and the recommendation against unnecessary travel to stop the spread of Covid 19, we have taken the very difficult decision to temporarily close our doors for a second time this year. We will be shut from Sunday 15th November 2020 until 2nd April 2021.

We would like to thank all of our customers for their support in this incredibly challenging year and we look forward to welcoming them back to Nardini’s at Easter weekend next year.

All are prepared on the premises under the watchful eye of our gelato chef.

Don't forget too our wonderful Italian Bakery - where all pastries are freshly made right here on the premises in the traditional Italian style.

KIMBO ESPRESSO

Sharing a tradition of passion and quality, Nardini's is proud to be the exclusive Scottish Embassy for Kimbo Espresso Italiano.

The Kimbo story began over 50 years ago when three brothers started roasting coffee in their father's bakery in Napoli, Italy.

In a city where practically everyone cultivates and hands down the art of coffee, the talent and intuition of some stand out: this was the case for Francesco, Gerardo and Elio Rubino who founded the company. They did not start out as industrialists but the popularity of their espresso soon extended beyond their neighbourhood and people came from far and wide to drink it.

Their fame increased slowly and they developed their mission: to bring the pleasure of Neapolitan coffee to cafes, restaurants, bars and homes across the world.

Here at Nardini's we are delighted to exclusively offer Kimbo products, weather you prefer to sample the incredible flavours in our cafe or in the comfort of your own home.
