We had absolutely one of the best meals ever here. The seafood was fresh and delicious, the pasta was amazing and the desserts were the cherry on top of a great meal.
After a long work shift and four failed attempts at finding an open restaurant, Locanda graciously reignited their stoves just for me and served one of the best seafood pastas I’ve ever had. Despite being the last guest in the restaurant, the staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, refusing to compromise on either the menu or the service. Their hospitality turned a frustrating evening into something truly memorable.
a lovely authentic italian restaurant. i’m so glad we found this hidden gem. amazing food with a changing menu, amazing service, lovely wine and drinks. incredible affagato to top it off. make sure you book! we will be back!!!!
A few weeks before our trip to Scotland, I started researching the best seafood spots in Edinburgh, and Locanda Di Gusti kept popping up as a top recommendation. I’m so glad I followed the reviews and made a reservation—it was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Located about a mile and a half from our hotel on the Royal Mile, the walk itself was charming, offering peaceful views of the less touristy side of Edinburgh and even the backside of the castle. But let’s talk about the real star: the food. We arrived hungry and started with a pasta dish to share, followed by the seafood bowl for two. This platter was a dream—octopus, clams, prawns, langoustines, calamari, and mussels—each bite incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Truly the finest seafood we’ve ever tasted, and not even a hint of that overly “fishy” taste you sometimes get elsewhere. We finished with a couple of desserts and two lattes, which capped the meal beautifully. While the bill was on the higher side, every penny felt well spent for the quality, flavor, and experience we received. No regrets whatsoever—Locanda Di Gusti is a gem and absolutely worth the visit. Don’t miss it!
It was as though a local Italian restaurant was lifted out of Italy and placed in the centre of Edinburgh. Every dish was faultless and the staff were passionate. The bread salad was the star of the show.
We were here for lunch and everything was superb. The lunch menu was lovely, and reasonably priced, with no faults whatsoever. The octopus salad was a highlight. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, with the staff (and the music) really adding to the experience. Although the restaurant was quiet, given it was lunchtime, we still had an enjoyable time.
The best Italian in Edinburgh, the food was delicious and super fresh. Service was perfect and every member of staff was so friendly and made the visit so personal. Highly recommend a visit and I cannot wait to come back!
One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh. The platters are incredible, especially if you like seafood but want something different to the shellfish platters usually offered. The fish is so fresh and tasty. Staff are always SO lovely & attentive. It feels like eating at someone’s home, the hospitality is just wonderful. Always pick this place as a go to when showing new people the city. Well worth a visit!
