Really enjoyed ourselves here. Food was very nice but what made our experience all the more pleasurable were the engaging waiting staff. Thank you
We received a very warm welcome when we came into the door. It wasn't too busy, so the atmosphere was very comfortable. The food was amazing - There is a nice variety of dishes, which are worth every penny. They were delicious. The dessert was the best part. It both looked and tasted great.
The servers were incredibly nice and helpful. They helped us when we had questions, which as tourists; we did.
The only small negative thing was that not everything that was listed on the dessert card was available. However, the special that we managed to get - homemade tiramisu and a cheesecake with strawberries - Were delicious. We would definitely go here again!
Omg!!! This restaurant is lovely, staff are lovely very friendly and welcoming and food is gorgeous π

Best Italian experience ever! All fresh homemade serviced by the owner himself!
We had a wonderful family lunch there during our Edinburgh visit. The manager and the staff were very friendly, the service we experienced was great! The β sweet of the dayβ of the lunch set was beautifully displayed and also delicious, overall the price is pretty reasonable with good quality of food and services.
The place was empty on a slow Monday night when we arrived, but our dinner ended up being great! The staff was very welcoming, sweet, and not overbearing. The food was delicious and we would definitely return when back in Edinburgh!
Nice Italian restaurant. The plates are good, well served and give a good price quality ratio, it doesnβt need to be snobby or pretentious because the value is truly delivered in its food. The Italian owner is very friendly and gives a good service. A good recommendation for finishing the day after visiting Edinburgh castle.
I was staying in Edinburgh for only 3 days and 4 nights but we made sure to eat here TWICE. food was phenomenal, staff was friendly, and the inside is so beautiful. everything is made to order so the food is super fresh. would recommend to anyone who likes Italian food.
Friendly, well priced, family style traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh. Menu featured a good choice of food which was very tasty. Beer slightly overpriced at Β£6 per pint but didn't detract from the cosiness of the restaurant
Delicious food in an Italian familly run restaurant... very Nice staff. Close to the Edinburgh castle.
Great food, great service will be back as often as we are in Edinburgh :-)
We just chanced across this place during a short city break in Edinburgh, and were delighted. Extensive menu at reasonable prices. All cooked to order, none of this formula meals of the chain restaurants. A recommended family run restaurant with good service. A bit out of the city, so search for it under the Castle walls.

Wonderful Italian restaurant close to Grassmarket
During our stay at Edinburgh, we went two times to Il Castello. The first time we had classical pasta and pizza dishes which were very good and reasonable priced. The second time we went for a three-course dinner and had seafood starters, grilled fish and seafood pasta as main and typical Italian deserts. All dishes were tasting wonderful. The service is very friendly and came with good recommendations. The kitchen is partly open so that you can watch while your food is prepared.
Il Castello is located very close to Grassmarket and Victoria Street, but it is by far less crowded and it seems that most customers come from the neighborhood. If you are looking for some really good food in a relaxed environment and close to Edinburgh Castle, I recommend the Il Castello.
Food is very good. So was the service. It was a great surprise to see the owner / manager going round himself explaining each and every dish. Such a rarity these days.
We just landed in Edinburgh for our vacation and came across this lovely family run Italian restaurant. The staff were provided absolutely superb service and were really friendly. Food was also fantastic.
We enjoyed some very nice pizzas and minestrone soup. Simple good food! The staff was very friendly. Would definitely come back!
