Lovely food and lovely, warm and welcoming people. Good vegan/veggie options. Not a massive menu which is actually nice to see as what we did order was well executed. Tiramisu had less caffeine and alcohol than our Nonna’s recipe but still good. Canollo pudding was delicious. We had a great time!

The restaurant had a very cosy atmosphere, had reserved a table to avoid queuing time. The menu had a varied choice of dishes and our choice was very delicious, not much waiting after placing order. The staff are very attentive and cheerful creating a very enjoyable atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Waiters "welcomed" guests (not just us) by impressing on them what time they needed the table back. Service very rushed, got the impression they just wanted to get as many people through during the Festival time as possible - not very relaxed. The "main" waiter or manager was very in your face and a bit over familiar. Wouldn't go back there.

Made to wait 35 minutes for our reservation, outside in cold weather. Food was unfortunately very average so that didn't make up for the wait. Staff friendly.

Visiting Edinburgh for the Tattoo so looked for a restaurant online close to the venue. Total pot luck but a great find!! Delicious food, waiters had great sense of humour

Food was pretty miserly. E.g. small main salmon steak was quite reasonable but the only other thing on the plate was a tiny sprinkling of totally dried up shredded lettuce. The other main was a overcooked piece of chicken but at least it came with fries and a fresh salad. In fairness the staff acknowledged that the food was not up to an acceptable standard and gave us a discount.

Very friendly wait staff. Food was good (had the polpette, caprese and risotto with sausage). Relatively inexpensive too. Only area that could have been better was the cannoli. Its filling was too dry.
