Mia Italian Kitchen Dalry in Edinburgh, City of

Excellent lunch..pleasant service...sensible prices.. Recommended

It was one of the most magnificent dinners of my life. Pasta carbonara and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was just perfect. Great atmosphere, smiling and friendly staff, cleanliness, and of course great food...Can't wait for next time! 100 out of 100!

Described as « phenomenal » by my partner. Took the risotto del mare, which was a generous portion, with high quality seafood products: shrimps, mussels, langoustines and whole scallops, mmmh I had the carbonara, the spaghetti were cooked perfectly (i.e., the real al-dente, not the squishy ones you forgot in the pot!), the sauce was as identical as my Nona would make it, no cream, just egg yolk, Parmesan and cooking water. The staff was very generous on the parmesan, which we loved! Lastly, as the birthday occasion involved cake, we had a chocolate cheesecake and pana cotta. Both deserts were extremely light, and not too sweet! Cherry on top: we thought all prices were pretty affordable (£12.5 for the carbonara, like 🤌🏼) Go there, enjoy yourself, and be ready to be served the full Italian way!

Cibo delizioso!! Absolutely fantastic food, I’d highly recommend the burrata with Italian meat and spaghetti carbonara. Fantastic service and the wine is good quality!

What a beautiful night with my sister. Loved the food and service. My second time here and everything is just perfect 🤌🏾❤️

Very very good food, nice place and beautiful, plentiful and tasty dishes. Congratulations ❤️

Lovely food, atmosphere, and service!

Very good place to eat spectacular pizzas

It's a little loud and crowded - my drink was also mostly fruit and less of a cocktail. The food was good, though I would have preferred a drizzle of balsamic reduction on my caprese salad.

My favourite Italian restaurant in town!!!! Very delicious and authentic Italian food, nice cocktails and super friendly services. Can’t stop returning again and again!!

Food was delicious brother Ibrahim embraced us with an authentic "back home" hospitality they were very accommodating it was an amazing experience 👌👌👌

Throughly enjoyed our meal with great service from staff, food was large portions at a great price. Restaurant was modern and kept clean and would really recommend it!

The food was excellent, some of the best Italian food you will find.

Excellent food and excellent customer service

Great welcome. I didn't have a reservation and the restaurant was full but the manager found a seat for me. Their seafood risotto is delicious and filling. The red wine chosen was very good. I ate very well and I recommend this establishment without hesitation. Thank you so much.

Mia's was a great dining experience! It was a bit of a walk from Old Town but worth it. Everyone was friendly and attentive and the food and drinks were delicious!

Food is amazing! Staff services is upto the mark and made us our last day in edinburgh worth it! 100% recommend the same! The gentleman who was serving us checked on us and offered us complimentary lemonchello as well which was so kind! Will be back!!

We were so disappointed by our recent visit here! Had been before and loved it, so I came back. It was a shame because the food was actually very nice overall - the mains were very delicious, and really good value. The panna cotta dessert was very disappointing (it tasted more like frozen yoghurt, really), but that would not have been a big deal if it weren’t for the staff, who were not especially polite. Our server was very surly, and did not make us feel at all welcome, nor did she thank us when we paid and left. She may just have been having a bad day, but then we also had our drinks menu snatched away from our table and then replaced without a polite word by another waiter, disturbing our meal. This was such a shame, as I only like writing positive reviews, but we won’t be coming back here sadly. There are too many other nice Italian restaurants in Edinburgh that have much more friendly staff… I would be open to trying the other branch, on account of the good food!

Really good food with excellent service. Visited here when I didn't have anywhere booked and we were lucky to get a table. The soup of the day was excellent. A beautiful blend of flavours. The pasta was fantastic, well cooked and very flavorful. My friend had the veal which was a little disappointing as it was a little overcooked. The desert was however excellent and redeemed the overall meal. I would definitely recommend coming here and giving this place a try.

Food is fab, could not go wrong and quick service and staffs are always so nice. Fresh seafood and reasonable prices and great location

Superb food and reasonable price.

Had never been before, was with a pal and she recommended we visit, it was great and I will definitely be back

I didn't go crazy with the food, and neither did my company. It was basic and lacked taste. Of course, cheese can cover everything, and that's what we did—asked for more, but what's the point? The wines were nice, the atmosphere was good, and the staff was very social and friendly. In the end, the panna cotta had a good texture but not a rich flavor at all.

Great friendly welcome. Fast service. Delicious fresh made food. Will definitely return.

£60 for 3 adults and a kids meal, not happy we didn't get the kid's dessert that we paid for. and they expected a £6 tip like this is America or something. Food is good quality and service is fast but requesting a tip is cheeky AF putting a service charge on the bill automatically. Feel free to ask them to remove it.

Lovely meal, great service, superb wine recommended by staff member. Good atmosphere and ambience

My colleague and I had a lovely meal here. The pasta and risotto we ordered was absolutely delicious!! The staff were kind and accommodating as well. We highly recommend this restaurant.

the food was good but i cant say the same for the desserts. i liked the design of the restaurant.

Really enjoyed the food and reasonably priced

We did takeout and the food was incredible! We had the Bolognese, the Rigatoni Alla Nduja, and the garlic and rosemary Focaccia. As I'm thinking about it now, I'm developing a craving for everything again, it was really really good. Portions were reasonably generous as well. The service (from the woman behind the bar) left a lot to be desired. When we asked if the noodles contained egg, she replied that she didn't know because it wasn't made there and then she left. When we asked could we get order something to go, she said she wasn't sure, because the kitchen was busy (the restaurant wasn't even half full 🤷🏾‍♂️). Someone else eventually came to help us, and they were great. They even packaged grated parmesan cheese for us because we were taking it to go.

Great little restaurant, fantastic food and service

Great food great service will come again.x.

First time diners at this restaurant. As well as an a la carte menu they offer a fixed price lunch menu which, at £13.95 for two courses, represents good value for money. Food is freshly cooked and was very tasty apart from the broccoli soup starter which was salty. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, an enjoyable lunch and we will be happy to return.

First visit and will be back. Knock out food at very very reasonable price. Lovely staff

We ordered the seafood risotto and Linguine Mare, as well as calamari rings. The seafood was very fresh and offered great value for money. For dessert, we had panna cotta and cheesecake. The cheesecake was different from what we usually have, but it was also very tasty.

The menu is very big what gave you a good choice we have quite good variety. Risotto was nice a bit salty but was ok but the pizza wasn’t great like for Italian restaurant. The food portions are very generous. Service was very nice. I have seen as they do set menu for a lunch so can be a good spot for hungry people. They also been quite busy so recommend to book.

Fabulous food as always and great service

The food was very good. It was a little cold to sit inside because the door, close to our table was open.

We dined with friends who live in Edinburgh and who love this place, and it's easy to see why. Excellent food, personal service. On a busy Friday evening it was a little too noisy, but there's not much one can do about that in a small place with many diners. Smoked salmon starter and risotto with salsiccia and blue cheese were outstanding.

Amazing food and really big portions! The best tiramisu I had

We had the menu of the day, delicious and at a very good price. Everything was great, an extraordinary waitress, good atmosphere of local people. It is reached within a walk from the center.

We visited Mia kitchen with a gift voucher . When presenting the voucher when ordering food the waiter joked that it was out of date which I personally felt embarrassed with . Very unprofessional. Then when presented with the bill questioned if we had handed over the voucher . Left premises with a disappointing feeling as if we were dishonest .

Had a Pizza. Pretty Pants. Solid dough work. Tasted like a Pizza from the 90s. Ham and mushroom and it cost me £15.00. Try the Pizzeria across the road, much superior. Money making exercise.

The food was a great value for the price.

Dinner was amazing, true Italian flavours & big portions. Staff were helpful and friendly. Recommended whether your a local or from the other side of the globe

The pizzas and tiramisu are excellent 😜

The lunch menu at Mia’s is great! They have quite generous portions. The service was also very good, servers were nice and friendly. I wasn’t a big fan of the broccoli soup but I will try something else next time. The arrabbiata pasta was spicy, I enjoyed that however I would love to try their pizzas. They also have multiple vegetarian/vegan options on the lunch menu which is much appreciated.

Extremely friendly staff, plus we eat well, what more could you ask for!

Authentic. I ate a warm chicken salad, and it was delicious. The chicken was high quality and char grilled served with a salad prepped with the freshest of ingredients (with olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table for a DIY dressing). Staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Everything was incredible. Pizza, Lasagna, Calamar, Burrata were all we ate the best in the city!

The food was great, and the service was amazing. Shout out to Eric for his great service and professionalism .

Excellent quality good food and gluten free options for pasta and pizza

Lovely vibe. Good food and great service. Reasonable prices

Really beautiful food and a lovely, cosy atmosphere

Lovely people in Edinbrugh for the day from Dumfries Never booked on way to waverly train station Made us welcome food was really fast

Have been dining here twice in row. Food delicious and very tasty. Can only recommend it

Very nice food and friendly staff. Good ambiance.

The food was absolutely amazing great cocktails great staff will definitely be back

Nice and well decorated place. The staff is also good. The Bolognese was very good, but the Carbonara did not live up to our expectations: “boiled” meat and very fatty cream.

Tremendous food, Tremendous service. Great price. We got the last table on a Monday lunchtime so booking recommended.

Fantastic value set lunch and food good. Great choice on the menu.

We've just enjoyed a phenomenal meal at Mia Italian Kitchen. Great fast service, fantastic food. Highly recommend.

They squeezed 2 of us in on a busy Calcutta Cup day. Lovely food

Lovely food, staff and drinks! The atmosphere is great too! ✨

Went on a Sunday lunch. Great food. Waiter could not be more helpful ( even with kids involved). Will certainly be back.

Me and my partner came here to celebrate his 25th birthday and it did not disappoint! We hadn't booked but they found a table for us. Nothing was too much trouble! We felt very welcomed and looked after throughout the evening. The food was also absolutely lovely and very authentic tasting. I was also impressed by the non alcoholic options as me and my partner don't drink. The mocktails gave the evening a great sense of occasion and they were really delicious. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of the food! We will definitely be returning when we visit Edinburgh again!

We Absolutley Love eating at Mia's Italian Kitchen..❤️. They certainly know how to look after customers.For that reason we would not consider going anywhere else... No Sir....No way....Thank you Mia's , and all your wonderful staff.....We will see you soon....👌😍❤️😘💋

We stayed for 1 week in Edinburgh June 2023 in the evening we went for dinner, excellent restaurant with good food, service and family atmosphere.

Our first time in Edinburgh. We came without a reservation at 6 and we were seated right away. We got lasagne, bruschetta and margarita pizza. All dishes were delicious. Bruschetta was decent, we have had better. Pizza was above average. And the lasagne was delicious, didn’t even need a knife to cut through it. Started to get busy at around 6.30pm so book a reservation we just didn’t know! They charge a 10% service charge, and with 2 cokes it came to 34£ which is very reasonable.

Lovely staff and lovely food. The pasta has great value for what you pay and the tiramisu was light, smooth, and creamy. Cocktails were also great, they have Limoncello spritz which was refreshing and compliments the richer pastas well. Would recommend if in Edinburgh.

We go here often as it’s local to us and always great service and delicious food. Really affordable lunch menu as well.

Very good service and very tasty food real Italian restaurant

Rich. Excellent attention. Very friendly staff

Great food and service which is all you need from a restaurant really, oh.. and clean too!

Very charming, chic place to eat and spend some times relaxing with friends, enjoying delicious mediterranean food, deserts & good drinks. Definitely we'll return with pleasure. ☺️

Lentil soup tasted strongly of MSG which was unwelcome. Fared better with pizza which was pleasantly chewy/puffy and a generously sized side salad. Service charge is "optional" according to bill but gets added automatically.

Really good food friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Buena atención y excelente comida italiana.

A fantastic Boxing Day dinner on my son's birthday. Our family of 4 were treated to a delicious meal. The staff were attentive and helpful, and the restaurant is rightly proud of their seafood dishes. I recommend it highly.

Despite a friend recommending this place i was left unsatisfied as i have tasted better from the ready meals section in sainsburys especially considering the prices they charge

The best restaurant 🌟 food delicious 🤤 great staff 👌

I would highly recommend coming here for a nice dinner or even lunch. The staff are incredibly funny and friendly which makes the overall experience worth every penny. The food is also amazing and I would totally recommend the lasagne which we crave each time. Thank you for filling our night with lots of laughter and delicious food!

I have been going to Mia for over 10years now with work colleagues and friends every Christmas. The service, quality of food and attention to detail, makes every visit personal and friendly, Amazing atmosphere and friendliness and the food - Molto bene ! Ciao Mia x

Lekker eten, goede bediening, fijne ambiance

Great restaurant. Food was delicious. I had ravioli with prawns and scallop. Prices very good also. Would return there.

Just had lovely lunch in MIas Dalry Road. What a shame it was completely spoiled by the temperature in the restaurant. I understand its very cold outside but think they need to have a good look at the door arrangements.

Mi experiencia fue buena. Para mi gusto cierran un poco pronto, a las 9. El camarero muy agradable. Nos sirvieron la comida muy rápido, algo que se agradece mucho. Calidad-precio, aprobado con nota

We were disappointed to arrive 45 minutes before the advertised closing time only to be turned away because the kitchen was closed.

good food, nice environment. Also good for gathering with friends, make reservation in advance if possible. Among the best Italian food I’ve tried so far.

On my last visit, the lasagne was cold in the middle.

I was in a party of 3 for dinner at Mia's recently. We had the foccacia and burrata for starters - they were both amazing, the foccacia is a huge portion so perfect for sharing. Two of us had pizzas which were great, I opted for Gluten free due to my intolerance and even this was very tasty. My other friend chose the salmon vodka pasta that was also super delicious. We could even take away the leftovers which i love! The only small issue with the place is that it gets very hot and stuffy but this was not the first Italian with this problem - it must be due to the pizza ovens working all day so this wouldn't put me off of coming again :)

Always enjoy the food here, good service also.

Excellent and personable service. Fish was cooked perfectly and was so fresh Nice to have side vegetables as part of a main course. Really relaxed place to eat with a neighbourhood feel.

My first dinner in Italian restaurant and it was very nice. Delicious 🤤 I recommend it for families too

The flavor of the food is exquisite, portions are generous (enough to take home for another meal), the price is affordable. Wonderful restaurant, will frequent here.

Food was delicious, would highly recommend meat and veg antipasti and pasta dishes, good portions and very tasty. Service was good but I had a pint of pale ale of a brand that I drink a lot that smelled, tasted and looked "off", they did give me a replacement but it was still not great. I suspect an old kegg. Maybe stick to the wine. But overall a great place

Highly recomended, great meals, perfectly cooked, and amazing service.

Nice Spaghetti and amazing Pizza. Everything fresh and rich flavor.Since a long time doesn’t have a good Italian food. Goodjob

We had soup of the day and pizza both were good and customer service was okay.

Great Italian restaurant for a date night when visiting Edinburgh (from the States). We made reservations in advance to make sure that we had seating, and we were thankful that we did because it was busy enough for a Monday night! My partner is gluten intolerant, so we wanted to go to a place that had gluten free options. Their gluten free pasta is penne only. My partner ended up ordering the Formaggi pizza and I ordered the Linguine Salmone (slightly salty salmon). We also ordered the affettati Mistie Mozzarella and house wines (not pictured). The staff was very friendly and took my partner's allergies seriously.
