Sprio & Co in Edinburgh, City of

Rude owner, and an absolute rip off panini at £8 for about 50 grams of food. There are so many better alternatives in Stockbridge.

Takeaway panino was the the same as the sit in price of £6.50. They were advertising ‘upgrade’ to focaccia for £8 which you would imagine would be better. However, what arrived was not focaccia but toasted flatbread from Lidl, (I know because I sometimes buy it) with very little filling. £8 for this incredibly basic sandwich is just contemptuous stuff. There was no justification for the extra added cost. I felt ripped off and won’t be back.

Definitely consider this cute café if you‘re looking for an alternative to Starbucks (further down the road)

Went for coffees with a friend. Sprio looks really cool and the setting is absolutely lovely. We got a nice table outside. A good start. Coffee was a little watery. Service was not very friendly. Definitely not rude, I just had to announce my presence, ask where to sit etc Could be a cultural thing, but in a nearly empty cafe I expect to be greeted. Price was competitive at £5 for the two coffees.

Coffee decent but service very stand-offish. I have been half a dozen times and the service has left a lot to wish for. Definitely getting a feeling of there being an in crowd that gets the smiles and the chats while the rest are treated with indifference. I also found it odd that they refused to give us a glass of tap water with our coffees and cannolis, but I think that says a lot about the attitude to customers. Shame as would love to support a local family business.

Very bad food or coffee, to be honest, low value of money, I also worry about the hygiene in the cafe too.

Went for lunch. Son aged 4 was chattering to family he hadn’t seen for a while about his interests. Owner leans over the counter frowns and shushes my son. Completely rude way to treat a young child who didn’t misbehave once during an hour lunch. Son upset and wondering why man was so unkind. Suggest avoid the place. Coffee also tasted watered down

My Italian is dreadful but I always feel at home here. Friendly, welcoming, quiet. Fantastic coffee. Food is lovely - especially the piadine. I like to go alone for some quiet time, but have also taken friends and (as infrequently as possible as it is 'my place'!) my children - who love it! Highly recommended.

I popped into Sprio for a coffee after find all the other coffee shops in Stockbridge very crowded on a Saturday afternoon and I'm glad a I did. It was nice to find a seat available and the staff were friendly and welcoming. As I enjoyed my coffee it was nice to listen to the Italian background music that made for a very relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking for a nice place away from the chock-a-block coffee shops on Raeburn Place, I would certainly recommend popping around the corner to Sprio on St Stephen Street.

Incredible find! Don't know why it wasn't packed. Best panini, piadina and cannoli we've had outside Italy.

Great coffee, ambience and food. Authentic panini with interesting fillings, to eat in or take away. My favourite cafe in Stockbridge!

A Milan cafe in the heart of Edinburgh! Great coffee, great ambience, great craic! The piadine are to die for...”deliziosa”!

Stumbled on this cafe on the last day of the festival Can't understand why people are not queuing round the block to get in. Amazing coffee and real (as in REAL) Italian home made food - an absolute gem!

Real Italian ingredients - notably salumi - friendly service, excellent espresso. Little terrace for sunny days.

That’s my favorite place when i need a good coffee and a delicious homemade soup. It’s a quiet corner for a lunch break and a friendly chat with the Owners. As you know, the weather is not amazing in Edinburgh but, if you want to enjoy the sunshine (when it is) in Sprio you have the chance to taste an Italian coffee sitting outside .... Just try ...!

Family owned cafe with very good coffee and food. Laid back, stylish little oasis. Well worth finding.

The menu is limited but delicious. I've had really gorgeous panini here, and the coffee is delicious. There are 2 or 3 tiny tables outside, which is nice if it's sunny.

Lovely couple who run the cafe, best coffee in town. Its a little cafe, with a small area outside, which is lovely when the sun is shining. A favourite of mine.

Fantastic little Deli for Coffee and Italian nibbles Wonderful Coffee good selection of Panini's Always a warm welcome Good with the kids and great to sit outside when the Edinburgh weather is playing ball.

Uno de mis lugares favoritos muy para café, para ensaladas o sopas. Paula y Marcello son la gente que hacen más bonito excelente comida, el mejor café en Stockbridge (no!), de hecho el mejor café en Escocia y dar la mejor bienvenida nunca. Me siento en Italia cuando estoy allí. Altamente recomendado!

With Italian owners, this place gives you real Italian food, with good options, with Italian touches. It's quite small - we sat outside in the sunshine which was lovely. Friendly owners.

A menudo llevada a Sprio en el fin de semana - los propietarios son ahora somos amigos. Esta mañana fui en después de correr con un par de amigos y nos encontramos con unos amigos. Paola y Marcello eran tan acogedora como siempre, y nos ayudó a mantener nuestro café y pastelería niveles! No hay tiempo para el almuerzo pero de visitas anteriores recomendaría el piadine. Para el café y la comida, el ambiente acogedor.

This is a lovely authentic cafe with artistic flair. The coffee was fabulous as were the small italian chocolate treats. Will definitely be back.

Un café muy guay que parece genial. Fuimos en busca de una limonada para llevar en un domingo por la mañana, y lo encontramos! Era casera y muy delicioso. La única queja es que el servicio no era perfecto, la señora que nos servía no reconocer que nosotros por un tiempo como dijo que Había pasado por varias veces haciendo otras cosas. Pero quizás sólo cogimos en un mal día!

Me fue introducido en este café italiano hace unos veranos por un residente local y siempre me llama cuando visite Edimburgo! Está situado en una preciosa calle y el café y la comida ofrecido parece mejor sabor en cada visita.

Este es un café italiano elegante llena de estilo y líneas bien definidas. Café excelente. Situado en una tranquila zona St. Stephen Street, una de las calles georgianas Edimburgo más moda estilo bohemio. Me encanta.

Un café muy italiano en St Stephen Street sirve panini encantador, piedini y otras delicias. Tiene el mejor café en venta que he probado en Escocia.

I popped in here for breakfast. The staff were friendly, the food and price were great. The decor is unusual and fun. I will certainly go back there for lunch and a coffee.

Real Italian coffee , real Italian owners and real Italian snacks, though I am very fond on the potato scone with pancetta- a real Italo- Scottish combo.

Go here a lot for an Italian style coffee. Also a big fan if the toasted flatbreads the inter piadine. One of the nicest sunny spots in Edinburgh in the afternoon and the owners are very nice (a bit surprised that some of the other reviews say different)

This is a lovely Italian cafe with simple but lovely food. The paninis are very tasty and are the genuine Italian ones, not the doughy ones you often get in the UK. The coffee is also excellent, can't think of a better cup anywhere in Edinburgh. I find the owners very friendly, they made a fuss of my dog and fed him some bread. Sitting in the sun watching the world pass by in Stockbridge, not much wrong with that is there?

I go here a lot. The reason is simple - great coffee and fantastic sandwiches and snacks. It's small - there are only a few tables, but any ex-pat Italian should feel right at home. The radio is Italian, as are the sweets, and all manner of delectable sandwiches. And some outdoor seating on St Stephen Street if you feel the need of a fag. A cigarette, that is.

This is a nice little cafe. There are some lovely authentic italian touches such as the collection of comic art and the confectionery. Having said that the service leaves a lot to be desired. The couple who run it are unfiendly in the extreme and seem to begrudge the presence of customers in their cafe. On my LAST visit my cappucino was too hot, an unforgiveable crime against coffee. Not very child friendly either.

Wow this place is amazing :) Been here several times on a Saturday afternoon! Beautiful Italian style lunches..really gives the feel that you're on holiday. Staff are extremely friendly and professional and build good relationships with their customers. Located in the lovely Stockbridge, this place couldn't get better! I recommend getting the mint milkshake! ;)

I don't mind the coffee and the hot chocolate yummy! But the staffs very slow and a bit rude! I'll still go back the near my work! Please change the staff this place will rock!

On first appearancs seems like a nice cafe in heart of Stockbridge. Staff unfriendly and barely mumbled anything at me. Soup - to takeaway - with no bread (despite menu stating bread) was £3.00! What I got was grey dishwater in a small paper cup. It was lukewarm, gritty and completely underseasoned. The menu proferred "pancetta and wine" zuppa. I couldn't discern either.Not impressed.

Nice quality coffee in a very small shop. Seating is limited both inside and out. The staff seem to think of it as an extension of their living room - if you are part of the select few you will get a smile and a few words, if not, you will be served while avoiding eye contact. Odd really but the transient staff in the chain coffee stores in Edinburgh are distinctly more pleasant.
