One of the best meals and experiences we have had on our travels around the U.K. Not only was the food excellent, but our server was outstanding. She was friendly, courteous, and extremely helpful with explaining the specials and answering our questions. My mother and I will both come back whenever we are in the area.

Great food and atmosphere in this small but cosy restaurant. Friendly waiter service. By time we left every table had been taken so service had slowed but in this atmosphere it didn’t matter.

Such a hidden little gem in Leith. The best service you can't ask for and the best Italian food outside of Italy. If you find yourself nearby please get a table and experience this place for yourself.

Spoilt for choice in this part of Leith, we took a chance by ignoring the unpretentious exterior of Cafe Dominica and stepped inside to be greeted very warmly indeed. The interior is small but delightful with a genuinely Italian feel, helped along by the cheerful and attentive staff. The range of dishes was somewhat limited but there was more than enough choice to make a delicious meal, including the tempting 'specials’ of the day. When the food arrived, we were absolutely delighted with the presentation, the ample portions and most importantly the taste of the food itself. Brilliant service, great food, super ambience and reasonable prices; what is there not to like? Highly recommended.

The histess called to let us know that they were very apologetic about the time of our reservation. Stated that there would be a delay. Called 15 minutes after our original reservation time and welcomed us to dine within 30 minutes of our reservation. Offered complimentary drinks as an apology. Dining excellent was top notch!

Simple food cooked beautifully. Friendly service in a bustling atmosphere. If I had to make a criticism, then I would have liked them to stock low alcohol beer for the drivers amongst us. Having said that, it did not spoil our experience.

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
