The Doo'Cot Pub in Edinburgh, City of

Astonished this place got a Bib Gourmand. As someone who spends quite a bit of time in Italy, this was a crashing disappointment. Italian cooking - and the Italians - are all about generosity, heart, big flavour and loads of personality. This is the antithesis of typical Italian hospitality, tiny parsimonious portions, most dishes tasted the same (salty) and it all felt quite mean spirited and sad. We were recommended to have 8 or 9 dishes to share between 5 of us, which we did, and were advised they’d come to the table when they were ready - fine. However they actually came out one at a time, meaning there there five of us trying to share a tiny plate. Pasta portions were so small, we each got one measly forkful. We got three sad tortolinni to share between 5- where’s the joy in that? Massively overpriced for what it was - honestly should have gone to one of the longstanding trats across the road, at least I wouldn’t have left hungry. I’ve given it two stars purely because our waitress was lovely, otherwise it would have been one.

Booked a table online. Got an email back to confirm. Turned up for dinner and restaurant was completely closed (looks like it had been for some time), even though it still showed as open online. Very frustrating.

Em uma caminhada agradável em família, nos deparamos com esta simpática e aconchegante casa italiana, próxima a região central de Edimburgo. Café muito saboroso, doces deliciosos, além de produtos de origem italiana.

On our way to our hotel after attending a wedding we decided to call and get something to eat it had been a long day and we were hungry. We had seen Bocca Bona the day before so called in, they were preparing to close but they insisted on making a pizza for us. The pizza was delicious and we can’t thank them enough for their kindness. We would highly recommend this pizzeria for their super service and delicious pizza.

In genere non vado mai nei ristoranti italiani quando sono all'estero perché lo so che non si mangia mai cibo buono ma da Giuliano è stata un'esperienza decisamente positiva . siamo stati trattati molto bene ,si parla anche l'italiano , anche se noi non abbiamo nessun problema a parlare l'inglese e i cibi sono buoni come in Italia. Giuliano segue tutto personalmente e ci tiene molto che i suoi clienti siano soddisfatti. È un esperto della ristorazione. La lista dei cibi è molto varia e ce n'è per tutti i gusti e i prezzi sono giusti. Noi ci torneremo sicuramente
