Amarone Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Food and service was amazing. Not cheap but worth it.

This was our second visit when visiting Edinburgh.🙂....say no more!👍

Absolutely fantastic place. Everything was perfect

Haven't been here for a while but it hasn't lost it's charm and atmosphere. Food was excellent and the service the best I've had anywhere for a while. Staff friendly, polite, efficient and very kindly found us an alternative table farther into the restaurant. Well worth a visit.

Cold steaks , £15 extra for luke warm or cold steak is a rip off. Only the chips were warm. Christmas Dinner for 7 staff spoilt by cold food.

The pizza is excellent.. The mushroom soup is mediocre..

Never heard of this place until some friends who came to visit took us there for dinner. If you are a lasagna lover, this is the place for you! One of the best lasagna that I have ever tasted. I was hungry and unfortunately did not take pictures but I would recommend it without a doubt. The chocolate mousse was also a delight. We will definitely come back with family and friends.

It was yum. Many thanks to the Indian waiter, he was kind and helpful.

Lunch at 12.15pm Sunday 8 Dec We had a delicious meal - mains, desserts and drinks All food was super tasty, beautifully presented and generous portions also! Grand job Kitchen team! Service was good - we were well attended. Erica looked after us really well! I appreciated that although it was Christmas season we had the option to order from their regular A la Carte Menu. I appreciated being given a table by the window as asked. Thank you very much! Growth edges: consider getting more milk alternatives such as coconut, almond, soy? Atmosphere. The high ceilings add a wonderful vibe. I gave 4 stars, however, because it was so loud that even if the 4 of us were nested at a window table I had to shout to make myself heard across a dquare table. Oat and dairy are milks that some people can't have and I am one of them, that was the only downside of my experience there today. Thanks!

‼️CUSTOMER BEWARE‼️ I made a reservation online for 10pm at Amarone. We arrived before then and waited at the host desk to be sat. The hostess immediately started the experience off poorly when she stated they were closed now as we were being taken to our table. Once we were sat, with no menus provided, a server walked over to ask our order as the kitchen was closing. The time was 10:05pm. We requested menus and ordered 2 glasses of wine. Once the wine was brought to our table we were again asked by our server for our food order as the kitchen was closing. We needed an allergen menu as my wife has a severe allergy to all nuts so thorough review must be made of our order. When we again did not order, at just 10:08pm, the server directed one of the managers out way who again requested our order. We firmly, but respectfully, stated we understood the kitchen was closing and that we were making every attempt to order as soon as possible. My wife was recording herself during this dining experience for fun, not intentionally capturing any staff or other patrons, when one staff member came over and directed her to stop recording. She stopped with no hesitation, and you guessed it, 10:10pm and we were asked again for our order. After this much pressure with only 5 minutes to review a menu and make a selection which also required review of an allergen menu we decided to walk out of the restaurant. We had lost all confidence that the staff or chefs would take care as to not cross contaminate our dishes and did not feel at this time they even wanted to service us. To the management at Amarone, do better. Either do not allow a reservation to be made so late or require your staff to take proper care of all guests. This was truly an awful experience. I encourage hungry visitors to try Bar Napoli for a fantastic experience and meal. We went there following our awful Amarone visit and could not have been more pleased. The staff was considerate, made conversation and walked us through our entire order respectfully. The food was amazing and some of the best risotto I’ve ever had. I thank you Amarone, for being the absolute worst which in turn allowed me to experience how amazing Bar Napoli was.

Went here last 4 years for Christmas dinner with my son brilliant as always

Magnificent if you're ever in Edinburgh Scotland!

I tasted the lasagna and the calzone and both were so amazing! The lasagna had huge tasty chunks of ragu and the calzone had lots of filling as well. I really recommend and will definitely be back next time I’m in Edinburgh.

Great selection and authentic Italian food. Try the Lasagna it's brill.

Beautiful decor. Food was amazing. Table tiny for 7 people, we were squashed together! Member of staff quite rude to a party member saying she was sitting in the way! That’s where her seat was!! Felt a bit rushed as yes we were told we only had table for 2 hours but food not actually at table until an hour before we were due to leave! However all said food was unbelievable and would definitely visit again but would ask for a bigger table!

Tables far too close together, you keep getting bumped when people leave/ sit down.

Wandering streets of Edinburgh and came across this absolutely fabulous restaurant. Were welcomed from word go, excellent service, attentive, nothing too much trouble. Outstanding quality of food, service... Everything! Highly recommend!

Stunning surroundings, lovely service, plenty of choice. Went with my mum who eats meat and dairy and she had lots of options. Separate vegan menu for me which I was very pleased with. Recommend booking in advance - full even on a November Monday evening but very highly recommended.

Stunning inside and the presentations of our meal were amazing! Lasagna and veal were our choices after delightful starters of bruschetta and Insalata di Sorrento! Our waiter was very attentive and courteous ♥️

Think this was the 3rd time visiting Amarone in Edinburgh, we got the exact same service as the previous times. The food is always excellent. Fresh tasting and cooked to perfection. Hopefully one day I'll get to dine in the secret vault dining room.

A nice Italian restaurant with exquisite cuisine. Perfect warm place with very good service. Carbonara perfect.

Really good pizza, good service and reasonably priced for its location. I enjoyed it and will return.

The best Italian restaurant ever I have been .. I tried resitto , and porata and vegi pasta

Good food and a lovely baby bellini mocktail 🤗

One of Authentic italian restaurant in edinburgh old town area, i recommend the wide range of it's pizza, i ordered tartufata, it's vegan💫

Excellent place and very convenient for the Assembly Room on George Street G4 concert. Park and ride from Inglson and tram to St Andrews Square

Everything was wonderful in this restaurant We were served by Erika ( the australian girl), very pleasant and polite We highly recommend this place ❤️

Nice meal, Nice staff, friendly atmosphere

Great food in a very busy restaurant 👍🏻

Great food friendly staff would happily visit again

Large venue with loud noise. Despite that, cozy and pleasant. We were 4 people 2 were really satisfied with our choices of dishes. The other two were dissatisfied, among other things, the risotto was totally tasteless. Got a deduction on the bill for that dish but unfortunately one of us went home still hungry.

Extremely disappointed in this Restaurant We were told we had two hours for our meal , just when we ordered our wine they came and asked if we could skip starter and dessert 🫣as they wanted the table , actually couldn’t believe the cheek of them . Food was nice but definitely would not recommend this restaurant was more like a conveyor belt !! Definitely misses personal touch!! Shame

Gorgeous meal, friendly staff, and a lovely evening 😊

The food was good the service was excellent

They used to have an incredible lasagne but recipe was changed recently. Not impressed. Service charge makes me feel uncomfortable and I hate it when it's added to the bill by default.

Quality food, amazing and quick staff!

Delicious food and amazing attention from our waitress Hikary who kindly explained us the menu and recommended us some fabulous starters and desserts.

A great culinary experience in a beautiful location with friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere in the evening is lively and energetic, which ensures a certain level of noise as many guests enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Fantastic Italian restaurant with a relaxed vibe and excellent food.

Fabulous food & the staff are great , will definitely be back when visiting Edinburgh again

Get to the top 5 pizzas ever by throwing. Really good down to the dough. I recommend this place to everyone. It is worth making a table reservation also during lunch time.

Finally a bit of Italy in Scotland... exceptional pasta and truly special sliced ​​beef! All seasoned with the courtesy and friendliness of Hikary! Recommended😉

We were late getting there (near closing time) and nothing was a problem. Love this llace. Well worth a visit if you're visiting edinburgh. Suggest to book if its the weekend though. Very popular restaurant 👌

Delicious, beautiful and excellent staff!

Had a very lovely pizza. Service was also top quality. Only complaint was that it felt very hot inside. But would definitely recommend.

Food was gorgeous, service was excellent. Cannot fault a thing and will absolutely be back.

Delightful, tasty and memorable. Attentive wait staff, great selection paired with original Italian cuisine. Our daughter and son in law have traveled all of Europe and they agreed that the menu and taste of the offerings at the Amarone were within their top ten.

Delightful, tasty and memorable. Attentive wait staff, great selection paired with original Italian cuisine.

Went with a friend today and we had not booked, but they managed to fit us in. We both had an excellent pizza and very tasty. Friendly staff and good service. Highly recommended and will be returning.

A very pleasant restaurant in a very beautiful building. Room a little noisy due to the height of the ceilings. Excellent pizza and sumptuous lasagna. Delicious desserts Very good service. Fast and efficient. Rather expensive but the taste was there.

In the central location, an excellent place. Sober, elegant, very spacious. I ate a pizza which I must say had nothing to envy of an Italian pizza, other diners ate first courses which were also excellent.

Hosted approximately 20 business colleagues here during the evening. Whilst we were asked to order off a set menu nobody had any complaints about their food, and the service was good and the venue is great and just of Princes St

Spontaneous meal was perfect 👌 With some time to kill before catching a train i had a quick dinner at Amarone. I was pleased to find the service was as good as Aberdeen. Francesca looked after me well and the food was delicious. I had the Cod with crushed potatoes and braised cabbage.

We went out for a family meal after a day of sightseeing. The food and service were excellent. The vegetarian pizza and the linguine were particularly tasty and the cheesecake was honestly heavenly.

We came here on the recommendation of our hop-on hop-off tour guide and we were not disappointed at all :) The food was perfect and the staff was incredibly kind and helped our dietary needs with care. Plus the ambiance was also super elegant.

Always loved Amarone, as they do a lot of GF pasta and pizza bases. Food is very tasty and well priced. But this time I found out that the pasta is GF and vegan! Why is GF always lumped together with vegan ??? The pasta is not nearly so nice, it's hard and gritty. Whereas, GF only pasta tastes the same as normal pasta. This annoys me so much. Being Gluten intolerant is not a choice. Veganism is !

Dined here to celebrate my brothers birthday with some family and friends. We split a £386 bill between 10 of us at £40 each, & 2 paid £20. I also paid a £50 deposit. Thats a total of £490 which we were happy to pay as the service for such a large group was outstanding - hence the 2 stars or it would be none as the food wasn’t the greatest. After the majority of our group had left we were made aware there was still £30 outstanding. Thinking maybe someone had left without paying by accident we paid the remaining amount & left. However, since speaking with the group - it’s apparent we have been extremely overcharged & there was Infact not an outstanding amount. The Carbonara was dry & more cheesy than any Mac & cheese I’ve ever tried, the gluten free pasta was absolutely horrendous due to the crumbling gritty taste. The arribiata was extremely undercooked, & that’s coming from an al dente pasta lover! The chips were made from potatoes covered in black bits & the whole portion contained about 3 edible chips if you were lucky. Peppercorn sauce was the highlight of the food dishes. Again, the service we received from the waiters serving our table was outstanding & extremely accommodating to our large group.

Reasonably priced food, very tasty and good central location.

Italian restaurant amongst a few other high end restaurants. From the front, the restaurant looks very classy, I walked through the entrance of the restaurant and it was very nice, clean, shiny laminate floors, it was bright and a big open space, with fancy lighting. The seating plan was fancy too, with booths and table/chairs nicely spread out. I thought I was underdressed to eat here ! The server explained my table would only be available for two hours, which was fine as I didn't book, they then walked me around the laminate floor section of the restaurant to the side of it and this is when my high expectations changed.. The floor was now carpeted, the tables were Wetherspoon-esque, cramped and non-classy. They could have done with a bit of sanding too. They were a little bit tatty, cramped with an empty pepper and salt grinder, a little candle and a drinks menu and wine glasses. Not enough room for your drink, main and a side. Considering I had only two hours on my table, there was over ten other tables unseated, and continued to be unseated for the duration of my meal. Two hours is plenty but I felt like I had to still rush, just incase. Thus I didn't order a starter because I may have gone over my two hour limit. Waiters were quick to come over and take my order, I had a Mojito, Carbonara ( with guanciale ! Which a lot of restaurants don't do) my friend had a mango sour and the breaded chicken with spaghetti (chips and salad if you don't want spaghetti) My mojito was very, very strong, it's as if they didn't use the sugar syrup ( so Rum, soda , mint leaves and lime slice ) this is my favourite cocktail and I just couldn't drink it. I had water on the table so I was fine with drinking this instead. My friends mango sour was ok.. but it was thick, like a smoothie, so possibly whizzed up in the processor with ice? My carbonara and garlic bread came after about 20/25 minutes after ordering. It was hot, and tasty, but after about 5 minutes then sauce separated and resembed scrambled egg. The guanciale wasn't what I expected, it was chewy, got stuck in my teeth and one piece of it was fatty and oily, I had to subtly put this into a napkin 🙈 My friend's chicken was nice, crispy and juicy, she told me her spaghetti was ok, just basic tomato sauce, nothing fancy. The garlic bread was good, nice, hot and cheesy. I think if I did go back, I'd book, I'd ask to sit in the front entrance in a booth and I would order a starter, I would also try a pizza, because the man who was sat next to me (in touching distance if I stretched my arm out) had a very fancy looking one.

I was with a large group and the service was perfect. It can be difficult dealing with that many people but the staff got drinks, water, orders and all food to the right people with no dramas. Nothing was too much trouble and we left with smiles on our faces. I'll be back!

I took my daughter there on Tuesday 15th October as I had been there before .the starter which was bruschetta was soggy and 1 piece . We both had carbonara which was too salty and my daughter hardly got any on her place compared to me. I ordered a second drink which never came . I was disappointed with the meal and the service as it was a special birthday . The only thing that went well was the staff singing happy birthday to her .

Excellent Italian food. Good cocktails with lots of choice Service was fine but at a certain point it all happened very quickly, as if in minutes. It's a bit of a feeling that you are being forced out. Atmosphere is good, nice tent.

We visited last week my hubby is coeliac he was well looked after and the food was really good fresh and tasty they were very knowledgeable about his condition ,she regarding my vegetarian options,it was so good we booked for the following evening with the. Same service. Thank you.

Great food, especially the carbonara and the pizzas. The gluten free pizza is also quite good, and it’s nice that all pizzas r available gluten free. The starters r a bit expensive but are great. The desserts r also good just a bit too expensive

The cocktails here are fantastic. Everyone's pasta tasted out of this world. The prices also were very reasonable!

Incredible food , beautiful setting and the service is top notch you would think you had a waiter per table ready to top up your drinks.

Highly recommended! Food arrived very quickly, staff very polite. The food tasted very tasty and was relatively inexpensive.

Everything is wonderful. Lasagna is the best that ı 've ever eaten by now. Salmon carpaccio is a chef plate

I had a date there food is the best and I always recommend this restaurant to our guests it has always met expectations. Team keep up the great work please 🙏 😍😍😍😍

Best Italian Restaurant in town! No more words needed.

Fantastic restaurant serving amazing food. Would thoroughly recommend a visit here

Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go again when visiting Edinburgh.

Amazing pizza, one of the best I've had. Good selection of beer and wines. The cheesecake desert is also fantastic. Fast and very polite service. If I ever come back to Scotland I will be sure to visit again.

Saltimbocca very good. Dessert (lemon tart) a little too sweet.

Fab place, pleasantly quiet to eat at 4 pm, as it can get really noisy due to high ceiling and no sound deadening, later on when busy.

Our meal was 28/09/24 5pm. Got there st the allocated time for our large group booking. The place was very, very busy. Some of the diners at our table arrived a few minutes after us. Those who arrived a matter of 5 mins after us were given literally minutes to choose from the menu. They say you should advise of any allergies , I did and was given the gluten free menu. On questioning the server on what options I had being dairy and gluten free I was told to wait for the allergy index. At that point I'd lost all confidence in what would be my dinner.... I said I'd like the tomato and basil pasta without the cheese - turns out the sauce was pre made and I couldn't have this. I ended up with arabiatta gluten free pasta. My choice was rushed as when I asked for a few more minutes I was bluntly told 'well everyone else has already ordered ' as he stood over me. When my dish arrived it was just warm, so spicy I struggled to eat it - and I like spicy food!! The pasta was almost raw it was so hard. Two of the other diners sent back spaghetti carbonara's because they were inedible with the amount of salt in them. I could have sent mine back but then what would I have eaten 🤔😅 literally would not waste my time or money in here. It felt more like an overpriced McDonald's than a George street eatery. The atmosphere was chaotic and very noisy, everything felt like too much to ask our server. Never again.

Authentic Italian, great vibe, friend staff. Food was delicious: Pazza pizza, caprese salad and Aperol spritz

Beautiful restaurant. Delicious food and drink. Lots of attentive friendly staff. Enjoyed our lunch out with my wife and daughters.

Fine lunchtime pizza ans blether.

The place is busy but warm and the staff are lovely and the food is marvelous

Gorgeous place, food was delicious and staff were professional and attentive.

This place is so cool. Great atmosphere. And really good food!

Service would have been amazing had it not been for a very rude obnoxious server named Ava however this was a stark difference to the excellent service given by the staff member Max he remembered everyone's order which was a great feat for a group of 18 he also made the atmosphere better, the food was a low score due to a forced set menu which wasn't to everyone taste but Max was very helpful with assisting me in my allergies. So not great for big groups if you are booked in groups of 6 and you have a better choice. The food was basic Italian but not good quality so maximum for this would be 3 stars.

Always a busy pizzeria in Edinburgh. Better with reservation.

Excellent food and service. Pricey lunch tho, but hey ho, I knew that anyway. 😝

Excellent italian restaurant with delicious pizzas and pastas. The atmosphere is wonderful and staff very attentive.

Very well attended, we ate pasta and pizza. All very good

Beautiful building and great food to match. We had a great time!

Delicious lunch, with friendly service.

We tried their Margherita pizza and Arrabiata pasta We loved them both, the pasta was a little spicy. We ordered the mohito, which was sweet, but the peach juice was regular Their service is fast, a reservation is required, but unfortunately we had an empty table. They asked if our dishes to share could be shared for us or served as usual. We asked for them to share them for us as in the pictures. Note that the restaurant contains alcoholic drinks and is crowded and the noises are loud. Some people may not like this atmosphere. I wrote it for the benefit

Nice restaurant, nice atmosphere, but I recognized that all individuals were brought to a long table and sat next to each other where you could watch pizzas being made though many tables were free. I would not recommend the restaurant for individuals as there is no appreciation here…

Lovely restaurant. Friendly staff from the first instance to the lady who took our order. Food excellent. Definitely will return

Veal and arrabiata was fantastic. Margarita pizza was a bit boring but overall ambience, wine list, and flavors were fantastic.

Pizza, pasta, and teramisu was so yummy

Great food and Amazing service from Hikary

Beautiful food lovely service by Hikary

Delicious food, a variety of dishes, excellent service

Friendly, tasty, clean and at the same time fair prices! Very happy again

A delicious time. I recommend it to Arabs. The atmosphere and food are delicious. Seafood pasta + tiramisu + espresso.

A good restaurant in Edinburgh. The pastas are delicious for a moderate price. Good service and delicious Italian wines !
