Cafe Domenico

Great food, service & atmosphere. We both opted for the specials, which were lovely. A little busy restaurant that’s definitely worth another visit or two.

Been here for half a dozen evening meals and had hundreds of wraps at lunch over the years. Never fails to serve something where isn’t top notch and value for money. Love it.

Excellent value for money. Food very good and decent sized portions. Staff very friendly. Service was quick but not rushed. Would definitely return and recommend a visit.

Very friendly and quick service - A great family business. Delicious food too! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Leith wanting some wholesome, hearty Italian fare.

Great food. Pasta was al dente and the gluten free version tasted good. They did bring the dessert with a biscuit containing gluten stuck in the ice cream which is a bit of a no no for celeiacs. But the ambiance was friendly and we had a great time

This is a charming little venue with an Italian atmosphere that serves excellent food including wonderfully fresh fish and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Great service... lovely fresh food. Had the chicken and sweet potato, it was rich and spicy. Perfect location on Leith for lunch. Would highly recommend.

This is a very friendly, family business. We enjoyed extremely tasty, well-cooked food and the chef willingly adapted the menu to suit us, sharing platter of delicious starters and small portion for one of the group.

Best little Italian restaurant in Edinburgh. Fantastic service and absolutely delicious food. This place is worthy of the name ‘a hidden gem’. Go hungry- the portions are Italian size too. We look forward to going back soon. We would give it eleven out of ten if that were possible.

Great Italian restaurant on the Shore. The house red is very reasonably priced and the food menu can be tweaked to your specific requirements. The fish stew is definitely worth a try! Friendliest waiter in the UK also work's here, so worth a visit for that alone!

Our first visit here and it certainly won't be our last! A delightful, traditional Italian restaurant with a cosy ambience. Delicious food, perfectly cooked and full of flavour.The smoked haddock fishcake with tarragon mayo was a joy to the taste buds! Welcoming and attentive staff.

This is a small Italian restaurant near the cottage we were renting in Leith during our visit to Edinburgh. The food was excellent, the waiter helpful and entertaining and the overall ambiance was fun and relaxing. My sister and I both had one of the evening specials, tagliatelle with prawns and mushrooms and my husband had seafood pasta. I really liked being able to order a smaller sized serving of most dishes. I wish more restaurants had that option. The restaurant was a bit noisy, given it’s compact size, but that was the only drawback. I would definitely return.

Lovely atmosphere with a warm welcome. Traditional Italian family food. Good portion sizes. We were not rushed at all. Good banter and very popular with the locals. So glad we booked it a couple of weeks ago, as it was busy all night and we were a party of 6. Everyone enjoyed their food. Could not fault it.

Lovely small rustic and no nonsense family run Italian Restuarant. If you like pizzas don't come here but instead you will get authentic Italian dishes. I will be back.

Excellent food and great service. We always have a great meal there. Would recommend the spevials as they are always delicous and a good variety

Best quality food we have eaten out in a long time. The staff gave excellent customer service. I will definitely go back in the future.

Excellent food, very tasty and good portions. The staff are super friendly and give very efficient service. Cosy, comfy and clean restaurant. Highly recommend this family-run gem.

Lovely meal, friendly atmosphere, superb service. Our casual dinner for two at Domenico’s was a resounding success. Certainly going to go back in the near future.

Fabulous food and great friendly service.interesting menu and good reasonable price house white wine. It's a small cosy place with a family run feel to it, not at all an anonymous chain.

Great food, the seafood pasta was teaming with seafood, super value at just £11. Many other restaurants would charge way more for such a dish and would contain less seafood. Excellent house red, great value at just £14.50 for a bottle. Lovely wee gem of a restaurant.

Excellent small family run café/restaurant serving authentic Italian food. Staff could not be more helpful. Front counter does roaring take-away lunchtime trade that bears witness to the place’s popularity - there is plenty of competition in this part of Leith. We were still able to enjoy a quiet business lunch in the cosy restaurant and received really good and friendly service at comparatively modest prices. House wine was also a pleasure.

Had my boyfriend's birthday dinner here and can't recommend it highly enough. Gorgeous food, lovely, cozy, homely atmosphere and warm, knowledgeable staff (all for v. reasonable prices!). We've lived in the neighborhood for years so can't believe this is the first time we've been. A total gem.

I can not fault Café Domenico - absolutely top service, incredible food and a darn fine house wine! The special of parpadelle with slow cooked rabbit was the best dish I’ve tasted in a long time!

Very friendly and cozy restaurant; food was delicious although not all home made; the lasagna is a great choice!!! Will recommend as the menu is also fairly priced!

very pleasant well run small Italian bistro café . tasty bread and dipping oil for free before starters and choice good well cooked pasta .dishes and a couple of daily special's Pleasant ambience and quaffable house wine .

Lovely meal and fantastic service, as always. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is very cosy. Specials board is always a treat. Thanks for a great night!

A very pleasant experience. It's a very small cafe with a tiny kitchen so be prepared to wait. The food is worth the wait! We particularly enjoyed the delicious tomato soup. And the house red wine was great!

Excellent! Food was lovely - plentiful and very tasty. My steak was perfectly cooked. Great service - friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable too. Will definitely be back.

Had not been there for several years and it did not fail to disappoint. Excellent food and wonderful service, mainly due to the friendly waiter. Would I recommend it, most certainly

We found the food fantastic and very filling.Overall atmosphere very relaxing. The staff were so helpful advising on the menu and attentive to all in the dining party. Highly recommended.

Small restaurant in Leith with excellent freshly cooked food and great, quick and friendly service. Would definitely recommend Café Domenico to others. Good value too.

Tucked away in a corner of Leith this place is small but perfectly formed. Brilliant service and terrific food. Been here many times and it never disappoints. Specials Board is well named as there are always special dishes worth trying and usually great value.

Friendly staff. Very good food. Large portions - too much meat for us. So did not have a dessert. Good coffee. The house wine is good.

Lovely restaurant, great food, good portions, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere and excellent staff. Have been three times this year and will be back. Highly recommended.

excellent !! very cosy place inside, reasonable priced and the food was absolutely spot on. will definitely be coming back again. kind and friendly service too.

A great little restaurant in the heart of Leith that's definitely worth visiting. Lively atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and delicious food. What more could you ask for?

What a brilliant italian!!! Tony & the team will not let you down but you MUST book or you will be disappointed because it is always full... Also highly recommend lunch time sandwiches etc!!!!! Great food...always have at least 1 meal there when I'm in town.

Lovely cosy restaurant and very welcoming. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. Food generally fine but lamb shank a bit disappointing I'm afraid. Would still recommend a visit.

OUTSTANDING! Family meal for four early on a Saturday evening. Restaurant is modest in size with a traditional feel and was busy. The menu was not large but is varied (with great specials) and they were happy to adjust a couple of things for our kids. Everything we had was really high quality and cooked to perfection. Service was super friendly and efficient and the price was very reasonable. We went on a recommendation and will definitely be back.

Fantastic meal and amazing value! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. One of the best evening meals we had for a very long time. Try the specials board... you won’t be disappointed!

A real hidden gem; wonderful authentic food, great atmosphere, and fun attentive staff. Just watch out for the mirror - I almost waked right into it. Will definitely be back.

A lovely little restaurant in Leith. The staff were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The food was excellent and the specials board added some extra treasures.

Lovely wee place, only one waiter (being as the place is so small) who was as attentive as possible as it was quite busy. Fairly limited menu but what we ordered was very nice indeed. Not sure it was all worth the £80 paid (two starters, two mains, bottle of wine and coffees)...the main issue that put a bit of a dampener on the evening was a loud(ish) group of 8 who'd had a few already and spoiled the ambience of the place. Would go back but probably for lunch or an earlier dinner.

Lovely food, delicious and fresh - large portions. The staff were very friendly and went through the specials board. Would definitely return next time I'm in the area.

Another return visit with friends - as always, treated like family. Great food, good wine, good company. Got to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Edinburgh.

Great food and for a small restaurant a great choice. Love the atmosphere here and staff are really lively. Second time here and will go back again.

The service and food was excellent and good value. Very quaint inside with a lovely ambiance I will definitely be back. Well done cafe Domenico

My favourite restaurant by far! Took some friends along for their first time and they're already planning the next visit! Friendly staff, quick service and delicious food!

A lovely little Italian with fantastic service at a very reasonable price. This cosy wee gem on the shore in Leith will definitely impress. We will be back.

1st visit and very impressed with the hospitality, quality of service and most importantly delicious food. Cosy and inviting upon arrival. Also appears to have a delicious takeaway sandwich/ lunch menu. "Two thumbs fresh!"
