I'd been meaning to visit this place for years, and now I finally got the chance. Sadly, it appears to be closing, so I probably won't get another chance. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. The kind of friendly family-style place that's rare in Edinburgh these days.

An authentic Italian restaurant in Edinburgh, near the Hampton Edinburgh West End hotel. Delicious food, rustic Italian ambiance, and an Italian music soundtrack - much better than classic rock heard in every pub. House wine offered by the glass or bottles from a full drinks menu. It all makes for a relaxing, filling, tasty, cost-effective dinner out. Highly recommended.

This place is absolutely horrific. I don’t understand who is rating it? Starving students? Dogs that can type? This is an 1.0 restaurant because you can’t rate any lower. Everything you are served seems to be coming out of a can. Everything is swimming on a ‘sauce’ that is made of some tomato juice and water. The penne overcooked , the risotto wasn’t risotto but rice. The sautés mushrooms weren’t sauté. You can go on and on. I have no idea how there pizza is, maybe that’s the ticket. But I am not exaggerating when I tell you it is the worst italian food I’d ever had in my 60 years of existence. Go to some meatball sub shop and I guarantee you it’ll be better. PS Yes the cook works alone and hard but that doesn’t make you a good cook. I’m more upset with the people that are rating and know nothing about food yet they are guiding people into this culinary disaster

Given that this restaurant is run by a couple, one doing the cooking, the other serving, the quality is outstanding! It's cheap and decent quality with a good selection for both adults and kids. We went for our 13 year old's birthday (and our ten year old) and we couldn't finish everything

Curious due to the good reviews, we visited the Italian restaurant. Inconspicuous from the outside, Open stood at the door and walked into the empty restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and were able to choose our place. There is space for around 20 people. The ambience is simple. We were immediately given a carafe of water and 2 glasses. We only took one pasta dish each as a main course, without a starter. The food tasted really great, but without starter it might have been a bit lacking. But we didn't know that beforehand. Prices are really attractive. We would definitely go there again.

Very reasonably priced. One man solo in the kitchen, so very impressive that he managed to put out so much food and of quality. It’s been here a long time and is one locals should be supporting! Atmosphere okay but could have done with better mood lighting/ candles.

Had a lovely meal with my wife in Piatto Verde tonight. Great service and beautiful food. The Arabbiata in particular was packed with flavour and had a beautiful spicy heat. The restaurant itself was ambient with mood lighting, and the other tables were busy with high turn over. Will definitely be back to this little gem, which I'm only too sad we haven't visited sooner!

I completely recommend this restaurant for anyone, anytime.

We were looking for somewhere after a film that wasn’t one of the manufactured chains at the cinema complex up the road. This was 100m away and we were really pleased we found it. It’s not got the smartest interior but the food was excellent and great value - two beers, two bowls of delicious fresh pasta, a salad and some garlic bread - all for under £20 per head. Service very friendly. We shared profiteroles for dessert - you would struggle to finish one yourself - which were a delight.

Came here the night before Edinburgh marathon after panicking that we hadn’t booked anywhere. Can’t believe they weren’t fully booked - it’s a lovely small traditional-feeling restaurant, really friendly and the food was delicious. Only a couple of options for me as a venue but I had the waitress’s recommendation and it was perfect.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant which was our local go-to place for good quality home cooked Italian food. Just had a takeout for a lock-down birthday (normally we would go to the restaurant!) and not only was the food superb and just as good as in the restaurant, they also delivered early and the portions were generous. We look forward to eating at your restaurant again once this pandemic is done. Thank you.

Debido a covid - 19 no pudimos comer fuera para nuestro aniversario. Piatto Verde estaba abierto para entregas. Hemos comido aquí anteriormente y siempre disfrutamos de nuestra comida. No nos decepcionó nuestra entrega. Teníamos 3 entrantes y 3 platos principales. Todos estaban calientes, frescos y muy sabrosos. Me alegró ver que cada uno de los diferentes panes de ajo tenía 3 rebanadas para que pudiéramos compartir fácilmente todos los entrantes. A pesar de que nuestra comida tuvo que ser colocada en contenedores de entrega, todavía se veía bien y obviamente se le puso tanto cuidado como si se hubiera puesto en un plato.Estaremos deseando volver a comer desde aquí.

Estábamos en el cine y queríamos un cambio de las cadenas de restaurantes habituales. Piatto Verde es un pequeño restaurante sencillo. El servicio fue excelente, aunque los horarios de apertura son sorprendentemente cortos (5-9). La decoración es básica pero la falta de lujo mantiene los precios muy modestos. Mi risotto era encantador y los profiteroles deliciosos.

Not only is the food 1st class but everything is so reasonable priced even the alcohol. Don't think about going somewhere else if you want Italian food in Edinburgh. My only hope is that it does not get too popular so my partner and I are unable to get a table.
