The pizza wasn’t small, the lasagne had no taste but the steak and the service were excellent! Definitely I’ll come back for that steak again!!
Good wine and food, friendly staff, good atmosphere , located near the castle
Marvellous- especially the espresso affugato was the perfect ending to a delicious meal - the staff was very friendly and most attentive and helpful
Lovely restaurant with delicious Italian food. Great service. Great location.
It was a ferry good pizza and the bruschetta was ferry tasteful. When I visit Edinburgh again I eat there again.
Service was terrible- server couldn’t understand what we were saying and was just making up the order. He stood the whole time we were in the restaurant a few meters from our table staring at us. We didn’t stay for food as he then returned to say they’d lost our order. At this point we left as the poor service actually caused us to be concerned about the standard of food we would be served.
Waiting Staff where excellent. Food was gorgeous. Booked a table for a 50th Birthday celebration and we brought our own cake which was no problem. Extremely happy with the service.
Amazing fresh tasty food, reasonable prices and brilliant customer service
Staff was friendly and the food was super delicious! Not overspiced, simple and amazing. My calzone was huge and the dough was one of the best what I ever had! Totally recommend!
Thoroughly enjoyable evening had by everyone and we will certainly visit again.
Very busy Easter Sunday but very nice food, bit of a confusion with the starter so waited quite a while but the service was good around the wait.
Fine but nothing special, the pasta was so so and the pizza a bit better
The food was delicious, large portions and freshly made. The staff were very polite and helpful; I'd asked for a candle in my mum's dessert to celebrate her birthday and they were very accommodating, even though they had ran out of our wanted dessert they still put a candle in my mums ice cream! Excellent meal and service.
Easy on-line booking system. Service fast even at busy times. Food has tasty, wholesome, home cooked flavour. One wrong order and one arrived cold for our party of six. Quite expensive for the amount of food received but overall a very pleasant experience.
Very nice atmosphere great food worth a visit 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
Not the friendliest service and the food wasn’t great. Our lasagne was disappointing and we left most of it. It was quite expensive too. If the food and service was great it would have been acceptable for the price charged but we left totally disappointed. Our waiter came over to the table and got a tablet out to start taking orders. He didn’t say a word whilst stood there tapping away on it and it was quite awkward. He then looked over the top of his tablet at us and went “Drinks?” It didn’t get much better after that. We won’t return and wouldn’t recommend it.
Lovely warm experience with HAPPY atmosphere. All factors reinforce experience
Food was very average. Ordering smaller portions for the kids was a real hassle. The pancetta was really fatty in the carbonara, when I mentioned it , they laughed and said it's pancetta! It was alright by I'll not revisit when in Edinburgh.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Well done all round!
Great food and wine. Good atmosphere and pleasant service. Overall a worthwhile visit
The first waitress who severed us was very abrupt and not helpful at all, as I ask for help regarding what was Gluten free on the menu, and was quite rude, especially when we asked for more time as we were talking, basically demanding us to order our drinks. The second waitress was better but forgot one of the orders and my poor friend ending up eating by herself as we had all finished eating by the time her meal arrived. Disappointed
We had a nice meal here. Staff were attentive and we were served quickly
Wonderful evening. We requested a time change on our reservation booking for 4 with only one hour notice and Luca kindly accommodated us. Fantastic attentive service by Italian Professionals who clearly took pride From the wine selection to the delivery of all 4 courses. Thank you Luca and all staff.
The staff were friendly and attentive and the restaurant was very busy when we arrived which we thought was a good sign. However. the food was not as good as we had hoped. The lasagne was very stodgy with more pasta than mince, and the mushroom pasta was too creamy and sickly. We wouldn't recommend this restaurant and wouldn't go back.
What a great dining experience. Thank you so much. Great food, wine and first class service well worth the visit. Would highly commend and recommend
Great food pleasant busy atmosphere staff efficient yet friendly lovely evening pizza and pasta really good flavours and not expensive perfect after a day at the rugby
Staff was friendly and the food was quite good. Very relaxed atmosphere. Decent wine prices but somewhat disappointed there was no cocktail menu. Overall a solid choice.
Excellent food and great service which when combined with a great location allowed us to enjoy the Grass Market atmosphere. We will be back in 2019.
very nice food and service, they were very busy but made time to have a chat. It was very warm in there and we had to ask for the aircon then the fan turning on which took a while to have done
Great popular place in Greenmarket Very very busy (Sat night - rugby week end) Service great Wine very good Good night enjoyed Will be back
Nice selection of food nicely cooked and presented, nice wine, good service. Very understanding with our last minute change and being a little late (had advised in advance though)
This was a busy place on a Saturday night but the service was good nevertheless and we enjoyed the meal. I enjoyed a seafood lasagne and salad and my wife had a funghi porchini pasta which she said was good. We would return here but are not often in Edinburgh.
Authentic, delicious food, with great service. A little slice of Italy, right here in the Grassmarket. We recommend the pizza and the seafood Fettuccine particularly.
Regular to this restaurant, never fails to deliver! Food fabulous and the staff are so obliging, pleasant and professional. Give it a try you won't be disappointed
We were greated and seated by friendly and helpful staff. Ordered a range of antipasti, a soup and a lasagne to come all together. Everything perfect. We enjoyed the nice meal and drinks, finishing with a delicious dessert. All the staff were attentive and chatted to us about Edinburgh. Great!!
Many Selection (Especially Wines and Whiskey) and Great Italian. Service: We went with group of 9, our server did great job. Every dishes were good.
Pleasant and Clean environment with slightly limited food menu tho plenty of wine options to choose from. Polite and courteous service. Ideal location situated in Edinburgh's grass market.
Disappointing meal really on our first eveymeal in Edinburgh. The Italian restaurant appears authentic however the garlic bread was crispy and dry with a little garlic butter in the middle. My salmon pasta meal was just ok and could be described as mushy. I didn't eat much of it. My husband had pasta Bolognese and again it was just ok. Sorry but I won't return here. I have to say though that we did complain about the food and it was taken of the bill. It's a popular restaurant and busy. Maybe we just had bad luck on that night.
Food was great. Staff were friendly. Sadly the whole evening was ruined by a large party of very drunk girls a few tables over. The staff could not deal with them and the foul language and shouting was disturbing to our party and I am sure other diners.
Lovely Italian restaurant in the centre of Edinburgh. Great food,pizza was to die for. Service was very attentive and the atmosphere was great as it was a very busy Friday night! Would definitely go back!!!
