Fico's Italian Bistro in Edinburgh, City of

Great food and super polite staff. Went there with our two kids and the staff was super with them as well. Would highly recommend. Food was very tasty and delivered super fast. Absolutely nothing to complain.

Popped in on a Sunday evening with a few friends for a meal. We booked but I’m not sure it was 100% necessary although it did get pretty busy later on. The menu was pretty large and they had lots of different options - I went for the tortellini which ended up being delicious. The staff were helpful with any requests or questions from us. Apple pie was good but not the best I’ve ever had - it was more like an apple cake

Friendly staff. Asked for a starter as a main and they were happy to organise it. Good food, good atmosphere. Great place to come for food if you like Italian cuisine. They also had Moretti on tap, which is always a win

Great food, great service. Been a few times for food and drink and great value for money. Carlo great

Amazing restaurant, fantastic food and service, highly recommend. Recently visited for my mums 70th birthday with a party of 13

A friendly welcome. Good choice menu. Great wholesome food. Visiting family - this was a great choice for dinner and hood wine.

Nice ambience. I had the seafood pasta and margherita pizza, really good and i'll surely come back here. Very recommended!

One of the best experiences so far this year, we were a small group of 4 people and everything was great and fast, we will repeat without hesitation

Antipasto had chopped pork in?? Awful... Pizza was soggy in the middle, definitely not like italian. Didn't like the atmosphere, not for us I'm afraid. I'd expect better quality from Italian restaurant

Fantastic Italian bistro and not too far from the airport hotels. It was a great final meal before flying back home.

Great Food, we had the mussels, antipasto, and Caprino pizza. Everything was delicious. The staff was very helpful, great service.

Very good experience. Give it a try!

Wanted a fairly quick meal with my daughter. Great service, efficient and lovely food

Great place, no blaring noise just great food and service mussels really good and the cod very good, highly recommended and I shall be back

The Sicilian chef is a guarantee. Fast service and good, authentic Italian dishes. 10 minutes from the airport, it is perfect for stopping for good Italian food.

Great restaurant: delicious pizza, nice, bright atmosphere, good service and the cleanest toilets I've seen in a restaurant in a very long time :)

First time coming here. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely food, all hot and fresh and delicious and at such reasonable prices. It’s a real hidden gem. Highly recommend. It’s worth noting there is a car park, but it’s quite small and tight so if you can’t park there just park in the street.

Fabulous ambiance. The variety of the menu works for all family members. Friendly service. We'll come back on our next trip to Scotland.

Best lasagna I've had in decades. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.

A very nice and quiet place close to the airport, they have a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, will definitely be back.

Very friendly staff and good quality food at a normal price, highly recommended

Discovered this from surfing the web for a restaurant. Liked the look of the menu and decided to visit on a Sunday lunchtime. We were able to get a table for two and had the cod wrapped in prosciutto. It was delicious, followed by tiramisu. Lovely meal and nice atmosphere. Definitely will be returning for more.

Great place for a family get together. Good food, friendly staff, good value too

Absolutely amazing meal couldn’t have asked for better service very attentive. Servers were amazing. Thank you again we will definitely be back.

First time eating here tonight. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Even helped me decide on what to have. Food was amazing, couldn't fault anything. Looking forward to coming back

Service was amazing, really friendly people and the food took no time at all. The food was the best I've had in a VERY long time, my Margherita pizza was perfect in my opinion, my sister loved her chicken goujons with chips, my mum loved her dish but idk how to spell it so I'm not gonna try to, my dad loved his dish too and the desserts were incredible! My mum and I both had tiramisu which was incredible, my dad had sticky toffee pudding which was amazing too, and so was my sisters hot chocolate fudge cake! The atmosphere was really comfortable and welcoming, very well decorated and taken care of, I loved it! All in all it's an easy 10/10 and would recommend to anyone that happens to be looking for food in the area

My goodness what a find. I looked for the highest rated restaurant in the area at 4.8. Fabulous worth a 5 and I admit to being the customer from hell. The menu is very authentic Italian and not expensive compared with down town Edinburgh. And it is only a few miles from the M9 Newbridge junction. Go visit and you can book on line.

Very friendly staff. The pizzas, risotto and paws were very good. The staff was even accommodating when we were in a hurry to finish our meal and brought the end of our meal to us very quickly. I recommend 👍

The food was fantastic and the service was incredible!!!!

Brilliant staff, Fab food and a great location (when meeting family at the airport!). Can't fault this place - highly recommended

I often come to ficos and always the food is amazing and delicious (I’ve tried a bit of everything on that menu!). Service is outstanding, staff is always happy, professional and friendly mainly with the wee ones! Totally recommend and will defo be back soon!

Thanks to everyone at Fico's fir making our Aunt's wake go so smoothly. Food and drinks were served quickly and was very tasty.

I highly recommend this fabulous bistro, so nice environment, very good service and delicious food!

Great little Bistro. Good Italian food.

Great Italian restaurant, perfect service, kind and friendly staff. We ordered the Caesar salad and the pancetta tortellini, both delicious and a good quantity. It has small but free parking in the back! Highly recommended!

Awesome atmosphere, service and food.. Friendly attentive staff..Regular customers at this lovely bistro. Great menu, so much choice always enjoy our lovely meals. Really well worth a visit.. Keep up the good work guys Carlo and Co you do an amazing job and always make us so welcome..thank you..

If I am in the area, is the place to go! Conveniently located close to conifox adventure park. Sorry, I cannot comment too much about the food as I didn t order Italian dishes...

We ate there with the children. Very good value for money. The pizzas, pasta and tiramisu were very good. Be careful, the pizzas are small. If you are very hungry, consider pasta instead! The service was great.

Always friendly I have always enjoyed my visit there

Good food , good place and good people. Definitely will go again!!!

I had to leave another review for this place. The fish cookery, yet again, was incredible. I've never had cod so good. My 13yo daughter loved her mushroom panzerotti and the cannoli were great fun on a sunny walk home. Top marks, I should have left an extra tip for the chef.

So happy to have found this gem! Such a delicious meal and exceptional service.

haggis ravioli in whiskey sauce yum

Their Haggis Ravioli are delicious! The team is very friendly and helpful

We had a lovely dinner at Ficos recently. The food was excellent and the service was very quick which was ideal for our young family. Highly recommend.

Fabulous wee bistro, lovely food especially the carbonara, best I have tasted outside Italy

Very good service. Amazing food! Gluten free pasta and pizza. Thank you!

Amazing food and atmosphere as always

Brilliant lunch for Mother's day. The staff are excellent and the food is amazing.

Staying near Edinburgh airport on business and visited Fico’s for evening meal. Pre-booked table for 4 at 7pm. Totally Faultless. Food brilliant and staff impeccable service. Highly recommend. Thank you!

This is the first time I have been to this restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed it!! It was a family occasion to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. Food was excellent and service was efficient but friendly. Would definitely return!!

Lovely local family owned and run bistro. The staff are attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was bouncing as there was an 80th going on at the same time 🤣. Food was perfectly prepared and so tasty! Well priced (especially as my sister paid for it 🤣). Keep your local businesses open by supporting lovely little establishments like this. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼

Found this by mistake but was pleasantly surprised. Staff were lovely and food was great. Would recommend

Amazing restaurant, amazing food, amazing people ❤️

Excellent food-excellent service!

Lovely meal for my son’s 10th Birthday- very friendly staff and tasty food!

We booked a table last second, everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Would highly recommend the bruschetta!! If in the area again we will visiting!

Fantastic food, fantastic food, complimentary Xmas panettone, will be back ASAP!

Great place! Fresh and tasty food. The team is super friendly as well and they have a good wine selection. Also leave some room for dessert😍

We came here for a quick bite before visiting some friends in the area, delicious and good vibes 😎🙏

Excellent meal for 10 people. We booked our food in advance and were served drinks on arrival and starters appeared shortly after. Food was excellent and well priced. Parking behind the building was very handy. Definitely recommend.

Food amazing, staff are so friendly. Lovely place to dine.

Very nice inside, food choice good, reasonable price, parking behind entrance

Whilst the service was faultless and the food was tasty, I've marked it down because of the size of the portions of pasta main dishes. Specifically Penne Piccanti and it probably would have flown under the radar if it had been the lunch-time offer but it's not available at the weekends. It's not the first time this has happened but, at the time, I thought it was a one off. The Ravioli is also pretty sparse, made more obvious because of the huge parcels. I can't comment on any of the other non-pasta mains. We're all tightening our belts, therefore dining out is a treat, and as such the last thing to expect is to be disappointed by the size of the portions.

Went for an impromptu early dinner, first in the door but it deservedly filled up quickly. Exactly as promised, chic Italian bistro, fair prices, some creative menu items, nicely prepared good food.

This was one of the best experiences ever. From the excellent food, the fabulous service and the incredibly fun atmosphere, it was a night to remember! We spoke with many locals prior to booking Ficos, and heard that the food was excellent. After speaking with the manager, Carlo, we decided this was the right place to hold my mum’s 80th birthday party. We were not disappointed! Not only did every person clear their plate, but everyone enjoyed trying other people’s dishes too. From the rich array of entrées that were offered to the fun drinks to the cake that was arranged - it was amazing. Our party ranged from infants to 80 years old and everyone found something that they enjoyed. The restaurant team was amazing and went out of their way to ensure that we all had a great time. Service was on time, and the dishes were excellent. We know that they are great for individual couples and smaller parties, but this was amazing as our party was over 36 people. Again, I highly recommend this restaurant and their team for any event you may have or for just an intimate dinner for two. Thank you to the Ficos staff for making our night memorable.

Good food, great service and a nice place to eat.

Had a lovely quiet Saturday lunch.

Briljant food, delicious. Quick and good service. We had a terrific evening out. Thanks people from Fico's.

Excellent food, the seafood pasta was cooked well and very tasty! My wife was pleased, the pizza was also very good ( we are Italian and rather pretentious about Italian food 😄) . I had a very good beef burger , well seasoned and with excellent bread and fries . The staff is very nice, courteous and very professional. Highly recommended!

I was with a large group. We were four people visiting from Canada and Ficos was recommended by a Scottish family member. I ordered the tagliatelle nomina. It was fantastic. Carlo, can you deliver to Canada, lol. Hopefully will be back someday.

Restaurant quality for a cafe price. I enjoyed everything here. The dishes were perfectly and delicately prepared (crisp sea bass skin with juicy meat and others), and extremely flavourful.

This restaurant is by far one of the best I’ve visited! If you're into Italian food, you've gotta check this place out. The dishes are super tasty, and the staff? Well, they're just plain awesome. You'll feel right at home. Can't wait to go back for more! 🍝👌

Really nice meal before 5min drive to the airport

Really disappointed with the food. The fish and prawns weren’t up to standard for an Italian restaurant, I expected big prawns that were deveined but they were small frozen type prawns and not deveined. Frozen chips 😩. Pizza was nice enough.

Food good. Place was very busy so had a bit of a wait. Staff kept us informed. Very echoey building could do with internal soundproofing.

Well worth a visit, good service good food good value

Great for a spot of lunch. Will be back.

First time at Ficos been meaning to come for ages, it really did not disappoint. The gluten free pizzas were out of this world! Nice relaxing environment to rest after work, will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu! Lovely place!

Been a good few times and always try to order something different. Carlo at front of house is absolutely fantastic at recommendations and has such always provided a great dish. Love the half and half as I can have half pizza half pasta. The ambiance is great as are all the staff and I will certainly be back again. Well priced, thank you all!

Great fresh food as always! Great service from Adam and Silke! 5*

C'était parfait! Très bon, équipe accueillante et sympathique. Bon rapport qualité/prix. Proche de l'aéroport, ce qui nous a permis de faire un dernier repas avant de rentrer en France. Je recommande. Merci

Popped in early on a quiet Thursday evening with my partner and grandchildren and we all loved the food. My grandchildren, who are fussy eaters, complained that the pizza was the best ever so they were too full for dessert, but they weren't going to leave any pizza!

Excellent food even better service. Nice decor and pleasant views.

Very nice pasta! Certainly worth a visit if you are looking for a good pasta dish. There are a few parking spaces at the back but they are usually full. The pastries and desserts look great!

Perfecto, servicio rápido, la pizza estaba buenísima. Recomiendo.

Found this place on Google search for places near us to eat. We come from Somerset in England but were visiting my Aunty in East Calder so thought we would try this place. Lovely atmosphere and staff friendly. Food presented well. I had lasagna which was nice though alot of sauce around the lasagna and was boiling hot. Couldn't eat it for a while. Would come again though. Had lemon cheesecake for dessert which was lovely but could have done with a bigger portion

Great food. Great service. Will be back.

Warm welcome. Freshly cooked pasta. Great service. You can't ask for more

The menu was almost typical Italian fare on first glance, but anyway, we were shown to our table efficiently and quickly and were given our menus right away so we soon got round to ordering our drinks first and they arrived pretty quickly so we were off to a good start. I had some calamari to start which was very fresh and my absolute favourite dish of the entire 3 week stay in Scotland - ,the haggis ravioli. Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this dish, it was simply outstanding! The white wine was decent and so was the bill at the end. Very enjoyable, mainly for the haggis pasta! We ll worth a meal out.

We wanted an italian dinner. This bistro was just what we needed. Good pasta, great steak dinner, and delicious pizza. We would definitely eat here again.

Dead easy dinner before our flight. Gluten free well catered for. Tasty food. Thanks

Great place, good food, good service no complaints at all

Really good Italian food, including excellent coffee at the end of the meal. Nice bright restaurant and friendly staff. 10 minutes from Edinburgh airport with easy parking, which was handy for us before we headed to the west coast. Highly recommend. Thanks Fico's

Lovely family friendly village bistro. Food and service were excellent, highly recommend! 🙂

Well, I finally took the opportunity to visit this establishment on my niece's birthday 🎂 🥳 Food and service are just perfect highly recommended. The Risotto King Prawn amazing. Returning soon thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Thanks to all the staff.

Lovely family restaurant, food was amazing .

The place is legendary. The staff are always lovely and welcoming. The price for drinks and food is great. The atmosphere is lovely as well. I cannot praise this establishment enough. Me and my wife go there at least once a month for a date night.

Loved the calamari and the haggis ravioli. Lovely staff. Will be back 🙂

Good and varied selection. Food was lovely. So glad we found it
