The best restaurants serving Italian food in Leith Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Wow. I came by here on the recommendation of a Time Out article and I am so glad I did! I got the caponata sandwich which I took with me to eat by the Water of Leith. It was an absolute delight and probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had - perfectly seasoned, perfect amount of greens and perfect type of bread. It is indeed a “big” sandwich which makes it great value! The restaurant is super cute and pretty accessible from city center.

Tiny place, excellent food, great service, good value, what more could you want? I had Monkfish in Prosecco Batter, the batter was the lightest I'd ever had, delicious. I'm recently back from Sicily so couldn't resist the Linguine Alla Puttanesca which was perfect too, much better actually than a similar dish in Sicily.

SHORT REVIEW: bland & greasy pizzas although cheap, imagine a homemade pizzas with no herbs then pour a pint of oil over it = Pizza Geeks. I wouldn’t recommend. Waiter should have some lessons in how to smile..very miserable lady.

It didn’t live up to the hype. Small piece of fish, the chips weren’t fresh and they didn’t dress it with vinegar as requested. It all tasted like it was cooked in oil instead of dripping : / The mushy peas were average too. There’s better in Edinburgh

5 tables and we were told 45 mins wait. Not that express after all.

Linda was fantastic, very polite and attentive!

Not use gloves on and is not igienic

Wife and I popped in here for a quick lunch today and the food really surpassed our expectations. My wife really enjoyed her fusilli arrabbiata ('not too spicy, just right') and my lasagne looked fantastic and tasted even better. The service was excellent and we were really looked after by Emilia. Excellent value for money. Thank you.

Pizzorna är riktigt goda.Tyvärr fanns det bara pizzor kvar när vi ville ha glutenfritt.Vi hade inte tänkt oss pizza.Trevlig hjälpsam personal.
