Came here on Friday for dinner after work with friends. Initially we thought that it was quite quiet for a Friday evening, although this did pick up. The ambiance was lovely, very chilled and laid back and the waiter who was serving us was very nice, non intrusive but informative when required.

We all had a mixture of dishes: pate della casa, antipasto della casa, salad and melanzane parmigiana to start., T bone steak, classic pasta dish and a beautiful chicken romano dish main courses. We were very pleased with our food, the seasoning and the portion sizes and our dishes themselves were good but my friends who had the steak weren't overly impressed. There was nothing wrong with the way it was cooked, but based on the texture of the meat they felt it has possibly been frozen at some point in time so they questioned its freshness.

We did have a lovely laid back meal here and we would come back again, but as this is an Italian restaurant we think we will proably stick to the authentic Italian dishes next time. They did do these very well!

Nice cosy italian restaurant run by italian with italian atmosphere. We liked traditional interior, a bit oldish but very cosy. We felt very comfortable there. Pizza was great, with fresh ingredients and for reasonably price. We ordered a carafe of house wine and it tasted very nice. Friendly and profesional service. We reccommend to visit if you would like to have a nice dinner with italian atmosphere

Out family had a great dinner. The service was friendly and warm. The food was authentic, unpretentious Italian fare. Everyone loved their dishes and the food was exactly the type of comforting taste I would expect in out of Italian food, reminding me of my own home cooked food. Great choices for kids and they were very accommodating to their requests. Would definitely come back and eat here again!!

Absolutely brilliant!! Even though almost every restaurant in Edinburgh was full, they found us a table for 2, The staff were great, great service and fun. Really lovely food, great prices too. We left there, having the nice guy shaking our hands, so full of glorious Italian food that we waddled. We will return.

Great, unique, lasagna and other pasta dishes nicely done and a great side salad we were able to split. Very good & well presented and tasty desserts too, I really liked the apple pie with a bit of ice cream. Head waiter Carlos did a great job and is interesting in brief conversation. Well priced too. We went back several times.

As a random choice, we had a meal for two in this busy little place. We arrived without booking on a busy Friday night. Our table was provided on arrival as we soon watched the entire place fill. It has a vibrant buzz to the atmosphere. The food was excellent and the choice was vast. Our food arrived hot and well cooked and presented. Overall we were very pleased with our evening. The only thing I could consider to be a problem was the time between each course. However, this suited us as we were in no hurry. The staff were very busy and it was by no means a delay that would have complained about. This is a nice place to visit. Try it for a relaxed meal with great food.

Fantastic little restaurant, the Cannelloni is possibly the best plate of pasta I've EVER had. Staff are so friendly and outstanding value for money. Will definitely be going back to work my way through their menu.

Super little Italian just off George Street. Friendly, relaxed, reasonably priced and really tasty food. If you're looking for a family run Italian in central Edinburgh, look no further. We've been going for years and it never disappoints.

It was by far the best restaurant we visited in Edinburgh. Great, delicious food, a friendly, welcoming and charming atmosphere and a kind, open-hearted and attentive waiter. We recommend this Italian restaurant to everybody and want to thank the staff from the bottom of our hearts.
