If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Edinburgh, this is the place to go! From start to finish, everything about our experience was incredible. The restaurant has its own vineyard, and the wine they served us was hands-down the best we had on our trip—so rich and full of flavor. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every bite felt like we were dining in Italy itself. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and that warm, comforting feeling that only true Italian cooking can bring. A special shoutout to Alex, our server, who made the night even better! Super friendly, attentive, and really passionate about the food and wine. Their recommendations were spot on, and the service was top-notch. If you're in Edinburgh and love Italian food, do not miss this place! Can't wait to come back.

Tomé mi dinero para un pastel de fiesta. Pero se fue a la bancarrota así que no hay pastel y no hay dinero... muy decepcionante. Solo un correo electrónico renegando de la orden

A small but lovingly run bistro. The staff are very friendly and patient if you don't speak English very well. The food is very tasty.

Microwaved dry scrambled eggs, couldn’t eat them. Blasting eggs in a microwave is not a culinary skill you should be paying for! Lady very nice and offered me an alternative fried egg which looked like a poached egg, coffee was nice & sourdough good quality but I won’t be back for microwaved eggs!

We ate here after a show at the Playhouse on a recommendation from a family member that lives in Edinburgh. The restaurant is spacious and light and the service is superb. Our waiter Gabriella was so patient with us (5 chatty females who hadn't seen one and other for a while) The menu had lots to choose from and on the whole the food was good, although the calamari wasn't great and although we ordered the tortilla medium it was a wee bit dry. The pork cheeks though were outstanding as was the paella. All of the portions were a really good size and great value for money, as was the wine. This restaurant could really cash in on its locality to the theatre but it absolutely doesn't. It also doesn't include the service charge as standard which is another absolute bonus in my eyes and the service was outstanding! This is an absolute gem of a restaurant in the current climate of excessive overcharging by most other restaurants. A definite worthwhile visit ✨️

We went with my husband expecting to be a relaxing experience as we have a young family and we rarely go out. Although we had booked in advance, they gave us the worst possible table. There was a draft from the fire exit behind us and I had to have my jacket on while I was there. A member of staff was kind enough to bring a heater but it didn't help much. Staff were walking almost next to the table touching me as they were passing by. We arrived expecting to have something from the Set Menu only to find out that it's only available on specific days during the week (that's not mentioned on their website and they didn't mention it when we called them to book a table). The worst part though is that the food itself took almost 3hrs for the 5-course menu, hence there was approx. 30mins gap or more between each course which took away from the experience itself. Three hours would have been ok for a 7-course meal but it's too long for the 5-course meal. The food was ok, we've been to other fine restaurants in Edinburgh and this was very overrated for a meal that cost over £100 per person. We then saw in the reviews we could have the same meal as lunch for £50pp. The best of all was asparagus, the worst the fish and the dessert. I felt there was no respect for the clients. If they didn't have enough staff in the kitchen, they could have told us and we would have booked on a different date. The waitresses were very polite.
