This was the perfect find for our trip. Non-touristy local restaurant with great food and service. The lasagna and tiramisu were solid. Definitely recommend.

Great place for a celebratory birthday meal. The food was delicious, with good portion sizes. The carbonara ravioli was rich and silky and something we had never had before. Pinsa pizza had thin, crispy authentic base and a nice range of unusual toppings. Very good starters to share. The staff were friendly and attentive and brought dessert with a birthday candle. Lovely place for a celebration.

Loved it from the moment we walked in & immediately were attended to by a lovely chap. Food was superb, I personally had Calamari rings with prawn pasta the portions were huge but delicious. Waiter was a delight, full of humour which I liked. Place is very busy & understandable why!.. Really enjoyed my time in this restaurant, 2hrs+ flew past, food & superb wine plentiful!. Myself & my family had a lovely time & would highly recommend a visit to anyone who loves Italian food. Thank you for a lovely meal (very reasonable prices) Will be back for more 😀

Hemos querido venir aquí por siglos y tan contentos de que lo hicimos, ya que la experiencia fue excelente, comida italiana abundante servida con una sonrisa y grandes porciones. Fue la tercera vez con suerte ya que el clima y la enfermedad nos habían impedido venir antes. Fueron los especiales de la hora del almuerzo que optamos. Dos de nosotros comimos albóndigas con ensalada mixta y pan de ajo, uno tenía pasta ragu, ensalada mixta y pan de ajo. Opté por la pizza nduja, patatas fritas y ensalada verde. Todos eran magníficos y sabrosos y no dejamos nada en los platos, testimonio del chef. Lavado con una botella de casa roja y 2 vasos de casa blanca. Cafés y Brandie's para terminar. Nuestro nuevo italiano favorito. Hasta pronto.

Horrible! NEVER COMING BACK! Tomorrow at 23rd of January of 2025 with a RED WARNING! for strong winds, the owner decides that is a good idea to open at 17:00 poor staff, feel bad for them, if the bar is opening at 17:00 that means the staff needs to go to the restaurant before 17:00 at 3ish which means they are risking their lives to go to the restaurant when there is a red warning.

Charging £9 for a very average ragù arancino or a bruschetta is an insult to Italian cuisine and culture. I had a very high opinion of this place but after this I’m never coming back. There are much higher quality and more reasonably priced Italian restaurants in Edinburgh.

Honestly…would not recommend to anyone. Completely over priced main courses, Pizza and Pasta. Pasta portion sizes are too small, my friends were still hungry. Also hardly Any vegan/ vegetarian options. My main was a cold, dry grilled chicken with a flavourless mushroom sauce. It was not very good for £20. The server could also not differentiate which Pasta dish was fresh or dry (for the fresh pasta they charge an extra £3) but who can really tell the difference when the portion sizes are so small. The drinks however were good and the service wasn’t bad. Overrall quite a distressful experience honestly.

Bizarre service from a hostile waiter who seems to think customers are an inconvenience. We got shouted at for being 11 instead of 10, despite the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty. When laying the table the waiter was erratic with the cutlery, waving the knives around our faces (we've been warned about stabbing in Scotland, but didn't expect it with our lunch). The food was actually lovely but the waiter insisted that we all had salad and garlic bread, whether we wanted or not. After waiting 40' for the food to arrive, the waiter decided we that 6' was an adequate time for us to eat before he promptly took our food away. If you like abuse with your food this is probably the right place for you.

This lively corner spot was (thankfully) close to our Airbnb in Edinburgh. Rec’d a gracious welcome from our server and had an interesting conversation with the owner, who has a long family history running restaurants. Their pizza had a crispy, delicious chickpea based crust and plentiful tasty toppings. Apparently it is a very old style of pizza, and we loved it. The salad was beautifully presented and very fresh. The wine was affordable. A very pleasant experience after a long day of travel.

This must be the best Italian restaurant in the whole of Scotland. We were warmly greeted at the door and even though we had not made a prior booking, a table was found for the two of us within a couple of minutes by Marco who has excellent customer service skills. Food was presented in a timely manner and it was delicious, fresh and authentic. Peter took time to talk with us about the restaurant and the pride they take in giving every customer a pleasant experience, however, it the overall teamwork and atmosphere that makes this such a lovely place to dine in. It's a shame we don't live in Scotland otherwise this would certainly be a regular dining place for us. Thank you everyone at Tempo Perso!

I visited recently with a large group of family for a birthday celebration. If I was reviewing on the food alone, this rating would be 5 stars. I particularly enjoyed the focaccia, the burrata, and all of the food was excellent (though I would say £18 is pretty pricey for 5 raviolo). The lemon sorbet was also delicious. However, I think our visit was potentially let down by the place being understaffed for busy a Saturday night. There looked to be only 2 waiters on duty and that meant there was a cumulative impact of minor inconveniences throughout. When we arrived (on time) our table wasn’t ready so we had to wait. They were out of the first bottle of wine we ordered, the second was caulked, they brought the wrong bottle the third time and we only got the wine we wanted after our starters had arrived. We were unable to order any more drinks for the rest of the evening: when we tried to ask, the waiter said they had their hands full and would come back, but didn’t come back. We also ran out of water at the table and this was never replaced. There were mistakes in our orders too, which I think were because it was a loud night, so on three occasions through the meal, one of us was brought something different to what we had ordered. The waiter argued with us on each occasion and was pretty unapologetic - it was really loud so probably just mishearing us, but the third time was pretty grating. And it was a long wait for the bill. We’ve all worked hospitality so know that some nights things just go wrong, but the unfriendly, sort of confrontational manner of the waitstaff didn’t help matters.

We took the lunch menu so you get a main which is tiny in size and 2 sides. I would recommend the salad side which was good. For a sanpelligrino soft drink it is £4.50 which is a bit steep. Took the tiramisu dessert which was £7.00 and came still frozen in the middle. Staff helpful and it is nicely decorated.

The place is lovely, and the good is a Must. And the services was great. It was a wee treat as it's a bit pricy.

I would give 0 stars if I could. My friend and I made a reservation for this restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, no one came to serve us. They even ignored my gaze. About 25 MINUTES later, we asked the waiter to order, but I WAS TOLD THAT WE HAD TO WAIT FOR ALL THE GUESTS WHO ARRIVED EARLIER THAN US TO ORDER BEFORE WE COULD ORDER. After that, we waited for another 25 MINUTES before someone finally came to take our order. The food also took an unreasonable long amount of time to come. When we needed to pay, no one came to ask us. We asked again and waited for 20 MINUTES before someone came to take payment. Your waiter wasted over an hour of my and my friend's time. I don't understand if it's because we are the only race that looks different in the whole restaurant? Another thing, before that, everything was fine when I first went to your restaurant. Is it because the other friend I was with who went there for the first time is a local?

Perfect Italian dinner experience. Took a date here last week, and everything was just as you'd want. Great service before and during the visit, very nice food, cosy atmosphere, and in such a convenient location. Highly recommend!

Perfect tagliatelle Al fungi. Just the right mix of cheese, cream and saltiness. Alex made us feel welcome with his wine knowledge and excellent customer service.
