Al Borgo Restaurant, Juniper Green, Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Decidimos comer en el último minuto y no nos decepcionó. Los entrantes eran bolas de haggis, deliciosas. Mi compañero tenía langostinos. Los platos principales habían horneado salmón, absolutamente sensacional, mi compañero tenía ternera que disfrutó muchísimo. Debo agregar que este restaurante te hace sentir bienvenido, Sylvia es muy amable, recomienda los mejores vinos, etc.

A visit to Edinburgh wouldn't be complete for me without a meal at Al Borgo. Consistently wonderful, a warm welcome is always on offer, along with well cooked tasty food. This time we both chose from the specials, absolutely superb. Couldn't fault it.

Always get a very warm welcome and always have delicious food. Pasta dishes are particularly good. Service is excellent and very charming.

A wonderful gem of a place! Great food hosted by Silvia & Elio. A great way to end our Edinburgh vacation. That Toblerone sundae was delish! Thank-you xox

A veces te encuentras con un lugar que te hace retroceder más de una vez en poco tiempo. Este fue el caso de Al BORGO - Qué restaurante tan brillante. Este no es un auténtico restaurante italiano, ¡es uno real! ! ! ! Puede estar ubicado en las afueras de la capital de Escocia, pero al ser de propiedad y gestión familiar italiana, garantiza que reciba un verdadero servicio italiano, comida y, lo que es más importante, ¡bienvenido!Al vernos obligados a cancelar nuestros planes navideños completos, tuvimos dos visitas sucesivas (no planificadas) a Al Borgo, una de las cuales se realizó la víspera de Navidad.Durante las dos noches, disfrutamos de una variedad de comidas y bebidas que nos dieron la oportunidad de evaluar realmente las ofertas.Como conductor, me resigné a la cerveza sin alcohol y encontré a Morretti Zero, una cerveza italiana importada (nada de esto "burbish elaborada por Burton"). Estaba lleno de sabor y, francamente, estaba muy por encima de la gran mayoría de sus competidores. Mis compañeros comieron el vino italiano Pinot y comentaron más que favorablemente.Durante las dos visitas, nuestros entrantes incluyeron Aceitunas (variada selección de negro y verde, incluyendo algunos ejemplos masivos), Pan de Ajo, la sopa minestrone más deliciosa y langostinos triturados en una masa (pensé que eran chirivías asadas).Los platos principales incluían una variedad de diferentes platos de pasta, incluyendo lasaña, que era completamente diferente de cualquier lasaña que he tenido. Un bloque de buen tamaño rodeado de una salsa bellamente fragante y de degustación. Se describe mejor como láminas de lasaña en capas (conté 5 láminas en dos capas cada una intercalada con una fina capa de salsa cremosa y carne de res maciza. ¡Increíble! Las pizzas que comimos eran otra cosa. Tan ricas y abundantes que no pudimos terminar ellos en el local, pero los restos fueron encajonados y se convertirán en parte de nuestra inesperada comida del día de Navidad.Para el desierto, fui por sus frutas y helados (no recuerdo el nombre italiano) y nuevamente fue genial. Un montón de fruta fresca en cubitos y el helado de vainilla más sabroso que he tenido durante mucho tiempo!Una comida absolutamente encantadora, servida en un entorno agradable por un personal muy atento y acogedor.Creo que a los propietarios se les debe dar un aplauso particular, ya que fuimos extraños en la noche 1 y después de la noche 2, nos sentimos como amigos. Su comprensión de la situación en la que nos encontramos y la forma en que nos trataron fue impecable y garantiza que volveremos en futuras visitas a Currie.Hay que decir que no es el restaurante más barato de la zona, pero nunca ha sido tan cierto el viejo adagio: "obtienes lo que pagas". E incluso en este aspecto, el propietario ajustó el menú de 3 platos de la Nochebuena para reflejar la comida que realmente teníamos, ahorrándonos (y costándoles) muchos s.

Fuimos para una cena mientras estábamos en la zona. Es fácil de encontrar en la carretera de Lanark, pero hay un aparcamiento limitado fuera.Un dueño amigable y personal de espera.La comida y las bebidas llegaron rápidamente y el plato principal era delicioso, como los postres.El precio fue razonable.Regresaríamos si estuviéramos en esa área nuevamente.

Such a lovely cosy atmosphere and a great traditional Italian menu! Lots of choice and the quantity of the food was outstanding! Brilliant service, would highly recommend this for a meal whatever the occasion

The staff and Management were excellent. Service was friendly, efficient and food very good. A good menu, so will certainly go back when in Edinburgh.

Food was lovely and service was also great. Food came out quite fast and was all lovely,cocktails are good too!

La comida en Al Borgo es magnífica, incluso nuestros hijos por sus comidas, wolfed que dice algo! Teníamos pasta, pizza, y el salmón, y a todos nos encantó la comida.Al Borgo es uno de esos lugares donde los propietarios están en primera base nombre con sus clientes, y se asegura que todo el mundo está teniendo un gran tiempo. Estaban fenomenal con nuestros niños.El ambiente del restaurante es cálido, acogedor y alegre.Habíamos estado en Italia una semana antes, y al Borgo fue tan auténtica como cualquier restaurante de visitamos en Venecia.

Started with Bruschetta it was very dry needed more garlic oil the veal schnitzel would have been good if the bread crumb coating had been crisp mines was soggy. Both of us found it quite disappointing.

He sido, y un par de veces y disfruté de mi comida en ambas ocasiones. Lo que me impresionó fue que hicieron sus propios helados y lo hizo de la manera anticuada donde la mezcla preparada. No es como mezcla acold más resmas de hielo están hechas hoy en día. La comida era muy buena y sin duda regresaría.

Este es un fantástico restaurante regentado por una familia muy amable. La comida siempre es cocinado a la perfección y servido con una sonrisa encantadora. Esto es genial para visitar si tienes niños. Hay una variada selección de vinos alimentos y bebidas del menú a elegir.

i found the food to be bland and overpriced. Staff were very welcoming, but found the food lacked seasoning.

Increíblemente amable servicio. El sábado pasado fuimos andando desde Colinton a Juniper Green con 2 niños muy pequeños para encontrar el café que se proponía visitar había cerrado. Al Borgo abrió sus puertas media hora especialmente para nosotros y el personal no podría haber sido más amable y hospitalaria. Compartimos un par de pizzas y a los niños les encantó su helados. Muchas gracias. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

RDA Ravelrig son tan muy agradecida al Borgo y la familia carpico para celebrar una cena de recaudación generosamente para esta obra benéfica local. Más de 30 miembros disfrutamos de una comida italiana sociable con amigos y familiares, mientras que al mismo tiempo la recaudación de fondos. Un "ganar-ganar" situación. Gracias, Al Borgo!

Esta fue mi segunda visita al borgo, y una vez más magnífico. El web hosting es simplemente genial como te hacen sentir especial. Como había 13 de nosotros, había una amplia variedad de pizzas y platos de pasta (y algunos mitad y mitad). Cada plato era excelente y se sirve dentro de un par de minutos de la otra! El servicio era muy bueno y a un precio muy razonable. Recomiendo visitar si te gusta la comida italiana auténtica y el servicio amable.

No ha estado aquí por mucho tiempo, pero fuimos anoche para celebrar el 60° de amigos. El lugar estaba lleno con una función privada de la habitación de la parte trasera, por lo que el personal estaban siendo trabajado duro, pero aún así me las arreglé para charlar con los clientes y hacer que sean bienvenidos. Me encanta la atmósfera familiar del lugar (incluso tenía un lindo paseo para los niños un osito sobre blancas en un brazo - no me apresuro en añadir de personal). Los seis de nosotros disfrutamos realmente nuestras comidas y la comida aquí es excelente. Por primera vez en muchos años hasta un postre y fue fabuloso! No será tan largo antes de nuestra próxima visita.

a diamond of a place , spotless, friendly staff , not too expensive with fantastic foodmenu lots to choose from we went as a family for Sunday lunch well worth every penny.from the starts to the main course , we have 3 different starters , 3 different main courses including 1 perfectly cooked steak and 2 of the pasta dishes we were too full to try the fantastic sweets we saw on offer will defo next time the coffees were perfection give the place ago you wont regret it they even have a cosy function room in the back for private parties

This local restaurant is run by an Italian family and the food is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and will do anything to please. We use it often when time allows.Families welcome and great for work nights outVery convenient for the local community and a there is bus stop outside the door which is great if you do not want to drive.Youa can also learn to speka Italian!

Really loved the family friendly feeling of the restaurant. Large selection of choices on menu portions were good not too large. And they make a great irish coffee using real cream.

I very rareoly goive 5 stars to anything so 4 for this small family run Italian restaurant in Juniper Green is high praise indeed. The ambience is fine although from the outside you would be forgiven for thinking it just another roadside Italian. The staff are extremely helpful, freindly and upbeat. The menu is extensive with pizzas, seafood, varied main courses and starters and what we chose was delivered quickly and beautifuly cooked. Garlic prawns, prawns and avocado, minestrone soup, and fresh Scottish mussels. All really tasty. Pizzas for some and steak for others. Delicious and decent helpings. A HUGE icecream menu to end (not just ice creams but it does seem a house speciality).Very highly recommended, well worth the trip. We were going to the airport immediately afterwards and it is convenient for EDI (about 10 mins by car max).

I met a friend for lunch here as we both like Italian food and it was a convenient distance for both of us to travel. It was our first visit but I had read the good reviews so decided to give it a try. We both opted for the 2 course lunch which, I think was £9.95 each. My friend had minestrone and I had bruschetta with tomatoes. Then we both had chicken in a white mushroom/ cream sauce with fried potatoes. We both enjoyed our food very much and the service was great. The restaurant was bright and very clean. We both agreed we would to return for our next outing together. I will also return with my husband who is half Italian to see if he enjoys the food just as much. I would recommend you give it a try.

Great meal- starters of prawn and avocado and ham and melon.Mains - breaded veal and spaghetti. Calzone .Tasty and attractively presented.Portions generous.Coffees£63 for 2 reasonable value for money.Busy. Mainly families.Ambiance relaxed.Clean.Previous visits children enjoyed designing their own deserts from ice creams and topping.

6 of us went here recently for a meal before going on to a party . The food was very good and pretty good value for money ,staff were very friendly the service was a bit slow but the restaurant was very busy . Our only complaint was the wine list which was much more expensive than the sort of thing you expect in this type of restaurant , 20 quid for a bottle of chianti was a bit steep,but otherwise a good value night out.

We dined at this restaurant at the weekend with our granddaughter. The members of staff made us extremely welcome and were very friendly. The menu was extensive and included a children's selection. When ordering, suggestions were made and options offered to ensure that we had exactly what we wanted. Nothing was a problem and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We will be back to experience genuine hospitality and good quality food in an informal environment.

Second visit here and equally enjoyable. Nice food nice atmosphere and great prices. Juniper Green is lucky to have a family run restaurant of this quality on its doorstep. So give it a try I think you'll be pleased you did

Enjoyed another lovely meal here. We eat here regularly and always enjoy lovely food and wine, and friendly service. The menu is good value for money and there is something for everyone.

Which traditional authentic Italian restaurant would serve risotto made with normal rice instead of arborio rice, thereby missing out on the rich creaminess of this dish? And use bland, boring mushrooms instead of porcini and the 'wild mushrooms' advertised? Well, this place does and it was an unpleasant surprise to say the least.A dish of grilled salmon fillet was also underwhelming, consisting of foul-tasting fish and a horribly greasy sauce.The minestrone starter was OK, but this is hardly splitting the atom in cuisine terms...All in all, a place to avoid.

Been to this place many a time had a great meal family run business !Try the fillet steak with haggis sauce yummy

If there ever was a reason to travel out of the City of Edinburgh to dine, then the Italian restaurant Al Bongo, in Juniper Green, is the one to head for.Family run authentic Italian restaurant that deceives from the outside, by giving a warm welcome and serving high quality food by friendly staff.Prices are very reasonable and their is a wide choice of dishes on the menu.of course its entirely up to you what you choose but I can recommend the Calamari starter, and Filetto Padrino as a main.Many thanks to both the Owners and Staff for a most enjoyable evening.

Picked this little place as it was reasonably close to Craiglockhart Campus after my daughters graduation - what a find! A genuine authentic homely Italian Restaurant, not one of those "mock" Italian ones...quality and quantity of food was simply outstanding. Great choice of wines. Very friendly and welcoming and very family friendly too which was great.

Great service and delicious food. Lots of different options to chose from, a lovely family run restaurant.

Came to Al Borgo for work night out. Easily one of the best Italian meals i've had in a restaurant. Amazing quality food and value for money!! Special thanks to Claudia for putting up with our bizarre mix and match dessert requests!!

Our family booked Al Borgo for an early dinner on New Year's Eve and dined on their 'Festive Menu'.The food, service and setting were all fantastic and offered great value. I honestly couldn't fault it and am looking forward to returning in the near future.Well worth a visit!

Right next to a chippy (run by the same people), this place looks less classy than it is.There is the usual selection of pizzas and pastas, but the other italian classics are the real treat. This is all authetic rustic grup, with little pretension but a lot of skill. The steaks are done to perfection.Excellent value for money, good selection of italian wines, and a superbly friendly staff makes this a fantastic place. Well worth the bustrip out of central Edinburgh.

Dine here often and it never fails to please. All the usual Italian favourites plus specials and all are generously proportioned and well presented. But it is the atmosphere that makes a difference - staff, several being family members, are quite excellent. Always a delight to eat here! A huge asset to the village. Highly recommended!

We have been to this restaurant many times over the years and have always come home pleased both with the quality of the food and the service. Try it yourself.

We are local to Al Borgo and first time visiting. Will definitely be making this a regular dinner. Food was brilliant service was brilliant and we both had an amazing dinner. Such a family run restuarant and it shows. Perfect. X

We were in a party of 11, we all had different dishes and everyone of those dishes was excellent!The ice cream was delicious too. Made to feel very welcome. Hope to visit again next time we are in Edinburgh.

We love this place! They catered for our wedding party in 2009 and made a fabulous job of it. The food is always perfect. We try to get back as often as we can.Try it for yourself - you'll love it!
