The Jolly Ristorante

The food and atmosphere were fantastic as usual. Thank you

Food was excellent. Great atmosphere and lovely people. Will definitely be back.

As always a great night at Jolly Restaurant. Such a good menu and great tasting dishes. Was very busy tonight so the staff were kept on their toes, but always had service with a smile. just as well we booked a Table as it was packed! Will come again. One of the best restaurants on Edinburgh for sure!

Just a fantastic authentic Italian experience Great food, atmosphere, service and real value for money If you never been before then you must go - and then you will want to go back again!!

A lively and noisy venue with a family atmosphere, recommended!

Excellent service and food on a very busy Saturday evening

Amazing pizza !! Nice staff. Really good price regarding the quality of the food

fab food, great service, well priced, great location for city centre and Playhouse theatre. Would reccomend this restaurent and will be back in the future

Great food, good service and a lovely atmosphere We will definitely be returning! We really enjoyed the pizzas which are a feature in the Jolly Ristorante and the Wine was affordable too.

Had a great time last night at the Jolly, the service was great, the food was really delicious and the portions are huge! I will be back soon, love it xx

excellent value for money Restaurant in EDinburgh town centre nothing to much trouble for them and the three course meal for £6.95 is the best in town

I hadn't been to the jolly since the mid 90s and I must say the food was as good as I remember it being, delicious! Great portions and very good value even still. We were having a pre theatre meal. The place was stowed out which of course meant service was a little slow. But it is Christmas time so to be expected. Would definitely go back again though. Best Italian in Edinburgh.

Pizzas are amazing, can’t recommend highly enough. Have been coming here for 20+ years Defo the best pizzas in Edinburgh

Fun, fabulous value, friendly staff. Well worth wending your way to Elm Row for a wonderfully cheap lunch with a wide choice of dishes. Go now!

Really enjoyed our meal at the Jolly after an afternoon at the Playhouse. A great variety of meals on the menu which was very reasonably priced.

The service was excellent the food was good no problems with anything asual They are so friendly and make everyone welcome i would recommend this restaurant to anyone

Love this place, atmosphere brilliant with excellent food at reasonable prices. Staff can’t do enough for you. Lunch is the best value in town 💃🏻

Great food and great value as usual. Service was good despite being pretty busy on the night. Thanks Vito and staff. We'll be back again

Cheap and cheerful experience with a minimum of fuss food was great

A last minute decision to go here but we were a combated quite easily. As always food was brilliant as was service.

Nice food friendly staff loved the pasta thought the pizza a bit burnt in places and chewy to found the restaurant cold and it was December.

Food is great and staff are lovely. But you are crammed in like sardines. We reserved a table for two and it was like they just dropped a table next to bar.so when drinks were being taken to tables was jostled chair kicked all while trying to eat. Just a nightmare. It's such a shame have been going to jolly for more than 40 years. Don't know what this was all about cramming tables in they way they had

friendly welcome & atmosphere.Great choice of food with generous portions.Certainly would recommend my friends to try.Something for everybody to eat and drinks choice was ok too.

Lovely meal with good service and friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Hope to visit again very soon. Great location for our hotel and theatre visit.

Love coming here. Great place for a pre theatre menu if going to the Playhouse. Vito is a character & lovely owner. Been coming here since the 80s.

Buzzing on a Thursday evening. Very good value for pizza and wine. Starters less good but ok. Recommended. Great for pre- theatre at the Playhouse.

Fantastic as always, Vito and the guys did well to feed all 11 of us but we wouldn’t expect any less. We’re often in for lunch so don’t often see the full menu, a great selection on it.

It's old school, delicious Italian food with a pizza menu that never ends! The starters huge and very tasty, the mains just as good. The bill was absolutely astounding value for money especially with crafts of house wine flowing. Great service, attentive but not too much i.e they don't ask how the food is when you've just put food in your mouth! Busy little place come 6pm so I'm glad we booked a table and people walking in all very familiar with the owner so everyone chatting away like you were in someone's living area rather than a restaurant which I believe is what an Italian restaurant strives to achieve. Reading other reviews, yes the decor is dated but so what, we're not eating the décor and I think it makes The Jolly unique rather than a run of the mill chain that has the same decor no matter what country you are in but that doesn't matter (in my opinion) when you have quality food at a good price, service and atmosphere.

Have been going to The Jolly since i was a little girl. It has never once changed. I feel right at home and Vito is a great guy. So friendly.

Great food and great service at a very reasonable price. Vito and his staff never let you down

Good food and friendly staff. A lot of customers seemed to be regulars which is always a good sign. Will be back if I am in the area again

Good value for money. Small place but lovely atmosphere and good food!

Garlic bread had no garlic and was hard but they did not charge me for it which was really the right thing to do and appreciated. Main meal of chicken and veg with a lovely gravy/sauce was very good. Wait staff very nice

absolutely brilliant! The food is always brilliant and yesterday was no different. Would highly recommend the Pizza Pie, but it's huge so maybe best to share!

My friend and I had the 3 course lunch menu and we thoughrly enjoyed it. The food was served quickly and hot, The staff were very pleasant I have been many times before and have recommended it to many people.

We had a great time at The Jolly as usual. The Half and Half (½ pizza, ½ pasta) was huge. The desserts were so nice too, plus After Eights and a lollipop as we went out the door.

As always the friendly and efficient staff make eating there a pleasure. We use it before our visits to the Playhouse Theatre. Lunchtime or early evening Good value for money

Good food and great value. Quick turn around especially suited for pre-theatre meals or for those who are time limited. Have used before and will again.

First went to The Jolly in the mid-80s. Pizzas were great then and they still are. Great wood-fired taste and deliciously crisp. Should have had the minestrone rather than the antipasto though. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Edinburgh centre.

Very welcoming family run Italian. Food and service was great. Big portion sizes. Take a trip to the bathroom for a trip down memory lane for the restaurant. If your looking for a friendly, family feel that’s a bit quirky with good humour eat here :-) Great fun and tastes good.
