Authentic Neapolitan pizza 🍕, great atmosphere, decor and music, I really felt in Italy 🇮🇹.
The only little dent, service was quite slow even though the place was quite empty.( waited 15 minutes to get the drinks).
However, highly recommended if in the area👍
Overall, the dining experience was one reminiscent to a very homey, mom-and-pops, down-to-earth feeling.
We ordered three pastas (Genovese, pork sausage and smoked salmon) and two pizzas (Chef Special Stella and Nduja)
The pizza dough for the Nduja is faultless and perfectly done. The balance of flavors on the pizza is also impeccable. For the Pizza Stella (which is the Chef Special) that comes in the form of a star, we felt it was an average pizza in a unique shape. It’s a novelty order, and we would recommend it for anyone who simply can’t decide which pizza to have, and would like a nibble of everything.
The pastas were cooked al dente, and the addition of table side service to add freshly ground black pepper is a nice touch. The use of pre-grated Parmesan cheese is also okay, but freshly grated could have lifted the dish even more.
Service by Jake our waiter was friendly, attentively warm and very accommodating. Overall very positive and pleasant experience.
I didn't think much of it when we were advised by the hotel staff to get dinner there. Oh how wrong I was! Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff! We were impressed. Can't say if we were more impressed by delicious pizza or warm and welcoming manners of the staff. Thank you a lot. Each of us had a difficult day, including my dog and you just fixed the day. I hope we will have a chance to return and be your guests again.
Little family owned pizzeria with a great selection of authentic pizza, but not limited to pizza only. Go for marinara with burrata on top
Fabulous food! I’ve had their pizza, and a couple of the pasta dishes (am gradually working my way through the menu 😁). Pizza is a close call for the best Neapolitan pizza in the city, and the pasta dishes are wonderful. Flavours are rich and full. Good wine list too.
I’m Italian and recommend this place, but this is not your average Italian restaurant in the UK. What you’re getting here is truly authentic in many ways!
They serve pizzas that are quite pricey, but this is because their menu has mainly (not only) what we call in Italy “gourmet pizzas”. These are special pizzas that require special combinations of taste/ingredients, not your everyday pizza. They are not cheap even in Italy!
They also have a wide menu of real Neapolitan food, from first courses to desserts, so don’t expect your average Bella Italia here!
I personally only like to treat myself to gourmet pizzas once in a while and prefer old-fashioned pizzas, so I totally recommend this place mainly to those who wish to try real Italian food like in Italy and have a special experience.
Amazing homemade food . Everything was perfect. We will be back soon.
Some of the best pizzas I have ever eaten, including in Italy. My Italian bf agrees. I always get the Parmigiana 2.0, it is amazing. A few more vegetarian options would make it even better.
Great pizza - starter of Parmagiana di Melanzane was especially delicious. Cosy atmosphere.

Fantastic wee spot to grab some pretty authentic Italian food. Staff were great and made us all feel welcome and joined in on our jokes so props to them. Left feeling like a stuffed turkey because the food was so good.
Small pizzeria outside the centre of Edinburgh - on the corner of Drumbrae Roundabout - with fantastic service and an authentic Italian feel.
I was so hungry I forgot to get photos but the pizza is thin base with rustic crust as you would expect an Italian pizza to come.
I had also booked the wrong day but the front of house did everything he could to get us seated as soon as possible - above and beyond service.
10/10 - will be coming back for sure.
Lovely local place with tasty, fresh food. We tried many things including caprese insalata, arancinis, la buffalina pizza, bruschetta mista and they were great. We enjoyed all very much.
A real slice of Naples in Edinburgh. The pizzas were cooked in a proper wood fire oven, light and fluffy, with a great variety of toppings. There is also a good variety of appetizers and other main dishes, and not to forget their homemade desserts. Highly recommended.
Excellent service amazing homemade food. A family cosy atmosphere. Exceptional experience for celebrating my brother in laws graduation.
My new no 1 pizzeria in Edinburgh. Modern neapolitanean style, fluffy "cornicione" crust, superb genovese beef sauce on my A Genovese, and pecorino romano. Also excellent octopus salad starter on which I didn't take pictures (update: I took it on my second visit ^_^) but was better than any other tried in restaurants in town. I'll be back ASAP to give a try to pastas and desserts.
Best margarita pizza delivered in Edinburgh by far. Took us back to our time in Nepals, truly authentic.
Also the lasagne, fantastic! Full of flavour and tastes exactly how lasagne should. Blown away actually by how good it is. Tempted to order again tonight 😄
