I was very impressed with the quality of food and the very friendly staff who served us! Food was delicious, staff had great banter and were very welcoming, and if you love Italian dining I would definitely recommend
Lovely Italian café! Ida and Lily were brilliant – really friendly service. The panini was amazing and the Ferrero Rocher cake for dessert was super tasty. Highly recommended!
Edit: We went there a second time for our last evening in Edinburgh and general in Scotland. Food again was fantastic and a big shoutout to Ida and Fabiena for the service. Always nice and funny. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream journey through Scotland. - First time there.Fantastisch food and service. Looks like a Diner in Italian style. We came there today and it was fully packed, but they still managed to get us a table.
Best Italian food I have tried so far . Flavours are so classic and authentic. They served me Parmesan as like they keep giving you . And they even served me white truffles oil which any other places would have charged but here they served me complimentary. Excellent service asked me dietary requirements dood allergy etc . Highly recommended definitely coming back . Kudos to entire team behind this lovely food …
Delicious food, lots to pick from and I love that they have an all day menu. Want pasta at 2pm? Go ahead! Or waffles for dinner? Sure! The atmosphere is upbeat and friendly, I didn't feel estranged sitting by myself as the chatter and vibes outside especially when the sun is out make you feel like you actually stepped into Italy for a bit ❤️

Authentic Italian flavors served with warmth in the heart of Edinburgh.
