Food absolutely fantastic! The best restaurant in Edinburgh. The taste of the food here beats Mario Batali's Lupa in NYC and Robert DeNiro's Locanda Verde. I had a Montepulciano wine for 20 bucks and it was great. We had focaccia bread and minestrone soup to start and lasagna, veal milanese, funghi risotto, garlic spinach and rum soaked beignets as mains and dessert. Highly recommend it!!

A hidden Gem in Edinburgh! It was the best meal we had here in a week. It was the best tasting, less crowded and less expensive. Don’t go, so we can save this place for ourselves!

We went there for a spontaneous dinner. Surprisingly they don't offer any pizza but their pasta is really delicous. Especially the ones with salmon were delightful! The menu is quite small (just 2 pages) and in general the place is rather small (there are around 7-10 tables). It's a bit expensive but definitely worth it.

I had passed La Bruschetta many times as I live in the area but never thought to eat there. Until last night - and I was very pleasantly delighted. What a wee cracker of a true Italian. The Dover Sole and Veal T Bone were excellent as were the starters and desserts. The recommended wine was also a treat. So impressed we’ve booked for next week.

We went here for a work dinner, not being from Edinburgh I booked this online based on the reviews. It does look very romantic from the outside as it's quite small, about 9 tables. The service, food and atmosphere were outstanding and really happy we found it. Everyone enjoyed their food; a good choice of wines and the gentleman serving us were so warm and friendly. We visited on a Thursday evening as a group of 6 and we were really looked after

Chose this restaurant in the Haymarket area as it was close to our Airbnb and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! The food was absolutely delicious also the wine and champagne. It was a small, intimate place and the real deal Italian food. My friends and I shared some focaccia (crispy, light and delicious!) and some bruschetta with Parma ham, Parmesan shavings and rocket. For my main, I chose a lobster pasta and a creme brûlée which was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this little restaurant and will definitely be back for another meal on my next visit to Edinburgh!

Legitimately the best salmon in parsley sauce I've ever had the pleasure of eating and with great service. The starters of the special menu being calamari, was delicious and fresh in a light batter, the mains to die for was a creamy parsley sauce with a warm kick of chili, topped with a generous amount of Scottish smoked salmon and ended with deserts to help send you off too heaven. Lovely place, my only regret is I do not live in Edinburgh to eat here more often.

We went there for a late lunch. The place is cozy and charming. The waiter had warmed up to us during the service. We ordered bruschetta to start. The main courses were lasagna, veal and smoked salmon pasta. The lasagna and veal were fine, but pasta was very fishy and salty. The wine was excellent. We never got our water refilled. I would go back for the great ambiance.
