La Plaza Bistro in Edinburgh, City of

We had a nice time at Taste of Italy. The pasta with meatballs and tomato sauce were good, the portion are generous, it feels like home. The pizza was delicious. The waiters are nice and welcoming. We would recommend and would go again if it wasn't our last day in the city!

Me and my sister we often visit for a lunch and we are always happy. It is now 7 years since we started to each here. Food is amazing, served beautifully and quickly. Staff is helpful and place is clean.

The food was good but a little expensive. However, the atmosphere was very upscale and the staff were very attentive.

This was my first time in Scotland, and I've been on the lookout for a place to try some new things! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and was swiftly seated. The decor inside is stunning, as well as the glowing tabletops. The service is wonderful thus far. Airlie was my server, she was amazing! Everything on the menu is fairly priced, considering the portion sizes are way above par. I did order a Tutti Frutti Mocktail, and it tastes freshly made and not frozen like so many places do. You can tell they want you to have a great experience. I went with the garlic and rosemary bread and I am surprised at how light it is, but the flavor definitely pops in your mouth. I've eaten half of it before the main course even arrived. I got the crab fettuccini. The service is extremely quick. My main course arrived within maybe 15 minutes of sitting down. Fresh grated Parmesan on top. The waitress recommended the risotto, and I can now see why. The pasta is the perfect temperature, coupled with the crab and Parmesan, it's the perfect blend to make your tastebuds dance. I can't stop licking my lips haha. So happy to say that I had room for dessert! The Sticky Toffee Pudding was recommended, and yet again, another perfect choice. Toffee was poured on top of the dessert, and it was hot, making the dish that much more enjoyable. Ok. I not only LOVE the food, but I finished all three dishes completely. They worked off each other very nicely and when I don't even have leftovers to take home, it is THAT good. Overall a joyful and delicious experience! If you ever take a trip or you are LOCAL to Scotland, definitely stop in here. The service is some of the best, if not the best, I've ever received at a restaurant, especially considering it's aesthetically upscale and the menu seems to be crafted with lots of thought and heart.

Have stopped doing gluten free fish and chips. A backward step at a time when most places are increasing their gf offerings. Very disappointing.
