Had a lovely breakfast here. I was served by Lorena with a smile and good energy. Porridge with honey and banana was delicious, my bacon roll was in a lightly toasted bap with a nice helping of bacon. Pot of tea was good. Thank you xx

Value for money 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖 I wouldn’t recommend anything from this restaurant. Whatever you choose will be excellent! Grazie mille, Lorena🤓

perfect pizza perfect milkshake perfect service It's really good, the price is reasonable, the pizza is delicious, recommended

Very tasty food and friendly service

Delicious food, great service. I recommend it.👌👍

Excellent food and service, waiters very friendly and helpful

Ida is always very poilite when i come and helpful

Didn't get the right order, how hard is it to match up numbers on a phone screen and piece of paper?

I won’t even give a single star rating for the customer service they provided to us. Pathetic service ever had.

Lovely little place with good breakfast options and great coffee for pretty affordable prices. Served by Arianna and she was really helpful and attentive.

Always excellent food and fast, along with friendly and fantastic staff. Shout out to Lupe who looked after so well yesterday 1/2/2025 Cannot recommend the tiramisu highly enough. So light and tasty absolutely loved it

Friendly, helpful, staff, efficient services. The extra topping of mushrooms & Jalapeño for Margarita pizza were too little in comparison to my previous many visits hence 4 Stars rating on foods.

Chips were horrible. The cheese sauce is not very nice! I normally love this place but pizza was more a popadom than it was soft!! Was gonna order from somewhere else and wish I had now! Applied my Saturday night

Well done to our new rising star super server Fabiana...a natural !! Great value ..great location and delish food.

All foods and desserts were absolutely delicious and the staff is great and kind. Definitely recommended. We’ll come again

I was yesterday the 25th January and was served with a very pleasant lady from Italy she was so nice and very friendly we had a good chat it was either Courtney or Ida I just love your food .100per cent wil be back when In Edinburgh Please let her know she is so nice and very friendly

Lorena and Ida gave excellent service as always, food was delicious, a firm family favourite, can’t wait to return

The food and service were exceptional. Our server, Courtney + Ida, was delightful. She demonstrated great kindness and consistently ensured that everything was satisfactory. I highly recommend this Place if you are at edinburgh❤️

We were served by Lily and she and the rest of the staff were so accommodating! Considering we were a group of 9 without a booking they worked with us insanely well and the food was perfect!

Staff were excellent. Food was fantastic. Lovely place to grab a bite to eat and some refreshments.

Great service.. splendid food.. we’ll be back!

It was very nice place, they was so friendly and lovely with us, specially Lupe!! ❤️

Fantastic food. Amazing service. Highly recommend for both locals and tourists. Great value! Lily was lovely! :)

Amazing experience, great staff and food

Wonderful experience!!! The service is very friendly! Above all, Lupe, who was Spanish, gave us recommendations! Also, the food is great and good prices.

Lovely evening, enhanced enormously by the attentive service of Courtney

Courtney was fab, very attentive and thoughtful and lovely! Wonderful food, would come here again!

Saturday lunch for two before a show at the Playhouse Theatre. We had delicious cocktails, with mains and coffee. Food is exceptional. Service is perfect. The prices are very reasonable. Ida is the best!

The staff are fantastic Arianna was very present and conversed well Lupe was radiant

This is a lovely casual dining restaurant with wonderful service and very friendly staff. A great selection of food options and really tasty pizzas, pastas, fries and starters.

As a regular diner here it was a joy to see Ida again and enjoy our fantastic pizzas

Thanks to Lupe for looking after us so well! 🙂

Very good staff, gorgeous food. Really enjoyed the spaghetti bolognaise, pizza were great and the puddings were lovely. Really nice to see the food being made too

Stopped here while in Edinburgh. The service was excellent and the food was really super. We ordered arancini and a panino Modena, both served with a small salad. We were surprised how inexpensive it was. The plus was that the young woman who served us was Italian so we had a chat with her. Well worth a visit if you're in the city.

Honestly one of the best places we ate at in Edinburgh. We like simpler food and we're looking for chicken and veggies!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is based on the takeaway only so it might not be a true reflection on the overall service. I have walked past this place so many times but have never given it a try so one evening a few weeks ago I thought, why not. I had already had my dinner but was looking for something sweet. The venue is clean, bright, colourful and very welcoming. The service was great. The woman that served me was friendly, polite and helpful. They have a counter with filled sandwiches and desserts. I grabbed a cannolis and a cake. I also had an urge for a strawberry milkshake so got one of those as well. Unfortunately the cannolis were too dry and almost a little stale. The cake certainly satisfied my sweet craving. Sadly the milkshake was disappointing. It tasted very artificial and not very fresh. I reckon supermarket milkshake would’ve been better. I may have a sit down meal next time so my review may be different but based on what I had that day I feel a 3 star is honest.

Ben offered attentive service in my drink and meal choices. Where he particularly stood out was his care for a long time customer who joined me at my table toward the end of our meals. Essence of hospitality.

Fantastic food, and service by Ida and Ben! Thanks so much! Grazie infinite!

The lovely waitress Arianna gave us excellent dinning experience

The Barista Lilly was very joyful and pleasant and made a brilliant coffee- Garry

Good reference for Italians who are always looking for Italian cuisine abroad which, in addition to pizza, also offers dishes with fresh ingredients and excellent desserts

Really excellent food and service

Ordered at 12.13, with expected delivery at 12.39, didn’t show up till 13.46 so I missed the delivery and didn’t get to eat it.

Ben, Ida and Lupe served us. Fabulous service and food was excellent. Love the pizza base! Very friendly place. Definitely recommend

Excellent food and service. Our attendant Lupe was engaging and fun.

Lupe and Ida did a Great Job. The food was amazing.

Denisa was very polite and well mannered

Arianna was excellent with service 👌

It’s a travesty that you can’t give anymore than 5 stars because I’d give 10! Food was speedy and tasty and the service was excellent! The most tasty Peroni I’ve ever had in my life, I’m recommending to all my friends!

Arianna and the young man that assisted were both very nice. The hostess was sweet as well. Food is outstanding. Atmosphere is very comfortable

Food as always excellent. Exceptional coffee. Service by Ben and Lorena fantastic. Would highly recommend 💫💫💫💫💫

Very Friendly & attentive team .. I was looked after by Leandro & his colleague

Taste of italy's service, especially by Ida, and of course the food are OUTSTANDING. Special mention to their chicken caesar salad with anchovies. Peculiar as it sounds, but the anchovies what make this dish one of their signatures. Cheers Ida for recommending to add anchovies. We now have another fab near St. James.

The food was absolutely delicious and the portion size fills you all the way up! The staff are all very kind and welcoming - I spent almost 2 hours just sitting and reading my book and enjoying the atmosphere. Grazie mille!

Delicious food, friendly staff, good vibe. Highly recommend

We were in Edinburgh for a week and ate here 3 times. We felt so comfortable and warmly welcomed here. The ladies (and gentlemen, there was also a gentleman there on the last evening) from the service are incredibly nice and hard-working, the kitchen and the food are very tasty, and the price-performance ratio is normal or reasonable. We will miss this place. At first glance it looks more like an ice cream parlor or a fast food joint (like an American diner), but don't be fooled, this is a loving place that is characterized by the good fresh cuisine, the good cooks and, above all, the nice people who work here work, live! Thank you very much, keep it up!

Delicious food and very friendly people!!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the place was very comfortable and inviting. A special mention to Lupe, who served us—she was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made us feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back!

Food is delicious & the customer service is great ! Always come here when in Edi!

Best lasagne I've ever tasted, friendly and warm atmosphere, Ida and Daniel were super hosts! Definitely will be back

Great atmosphere, brilliant waitresses. We definitely going back in the future. Delicious soups, great pastas. Thanks everything for the team.

Great food and great service highly recommend

Everything was absolutely perfect. 🤩 I’ll be back again. Hopefully soon. Thank you

We had a coffee that tasted excellent. The lady was cheerful and very welcoming.

Awesome pizza and super friendly staff

We stopped in for breakfast this morning and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Food was delicious and service was great. Will definitely be back.

Lorena our server, was lovely. Had a great time here with my parents.

This was an unexpected stop for coffee and cake. It's a great area and a lovely cafe near to the Theatre. We had coffee's from the wide selection of hot drinks, and a couple slices of cakes. I would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

Good food and friendly service.

The estimated time kept changing and it eventually arrived over 2 hours after ordering. The whole time the status said their driver was at the restaurant. We tried to call the restaurant but their phone message said they were closed. When the food arrived the delivery man said the restaurant told him our food had been sitting for a long time. It was stone cold. You’d think, with some common sense, they’d have re-cooked the food, knowing it’d be cold. Appalling service.

Had lovely pizza to share and chips and Christmas cocktail

We were greeted soon as we enter. We were adviced to go in early as they don accept reservations. We were arranged tables together as they don seem to have tables for large company of 8. Foods and service fantastic. Lots to choose from. Congrats to them!!

Fantastic service even on a busy Friday night, food was super delicious. I will definitely be back

Bloody Josh provided great service and great banter. Food was good and I had one of the best bloody Mary's ever too.

We love dining at Taste at Italy and eat here frequently. Ida and staff are always welcoming and attentive.

Very good place! The service is fast, Lorena served us very well and the dishes were excellent. I highly recommend 🔥

Great fresh tasty Italian food with fantastic friendly service

Breakfast was delicious. Our host Ida was very friendly and provide great customer service.

Apareció antes de la presentación en la casa de juegos, servicio amable y servicial, la comida excelente no podría fallar. Pizza y patatas fritas excelente, la sopa era excelente sin duda recomendaría y volvería.

Excellent dining experience! The flavors were spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowsers, a last and great Italian restaurant that I was glad to have lunch at before my flight back to my home country! This place serves such delicious pizza, pasta and a wide & selection of breakfast dishes. The service is friendly and pretty efficient. I highly recommend the lasagna; hot and fresh with a hit taste of Italy! The burger that one of my group ordered was pretty good too! And the milkshake I had was yummy.

Cheerful, attentive service from Lorena. Always enjoy Taste of Italy for great food, relaxed atmosphere, especially when dining alone. Top 80s tunes too.

Loved this place, wish I’d found it earlier in the week! Going back to the States tomorrow. Great spaghetti!

A reasonable no thrills popular Italian restaurant. Decent fare for the price, promptly served in a central location. The lady who is in charge of seating/serving is unfailing polite and kind.
