“Hands down amazing. The very best food we had during our stay in Edinburgh. Authentically Italian, the staff were fantastic. Will 100% be coming again then next time we visit”

“This place has got to be one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh. Fairly priced,value for money most definitely. Staff really friendly and informative. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a little dark for photos, but here are some of the best of a bad bunch.”

“Why did it take me so long to come here? Food! Service and atmosphere all on point! Very enjoyable night! Can’t wait to come back and work our way through the menu!! Great job!”

“This is a lovely little spot for coffee and cake. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. I’ve been here many times, and the quality is always excellent. It’s the kind of place you can count on for good food every time.”

“Love this spot, some of the best sandwiches and bread I’ve had (Coming from a Dutch person). Great service and good prices. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I think of is walking over to Polentoni.”

“stopped in here 45 minutes before close on a monday night. a few pastas were sold out but still had options to choose from. we ended up with delicious salmon stracciatella pasta dish and a toasted focaccia panini. both hit just the right spot for a quick bite to eat before more adventures in edinburgh. filled us up without feeling overfull. boys behind the counter were extremely nice. for dessert we had a delicious cannoli to top it off, absolutely would come back here again. great quality at an unbeatable price. p.s. get the chinotto, a delicious refreshing italian soda”

“Came across this gem whilst trying to find somewhere to eat whilst away with work. Hadn't eaten all day and ended up having a fantastic pizza. Staff were attentive and the vibe was nice. Definitely visit!”

“Exactly what you want in a pizza place, well priced food/drink and excellent service. The new owner went out of his way to make sure we both had a great meal. We will definitely be back.”

“Great place to sit and enjoy some top quality pizza in the sun. Not the best pizza I've had in Edinburgh but definitely in the top 3. Gets difficult to choose at that high level. The young lass who served us was great and very friendly. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a proper pizza. Great for a lunch with friend, birthday or even a special occasion. I'll definitely be back.”

“Can't believe I've never came here before. Been seriously missing out. This is hands down the best and most authentic neopoliton pizza in Edinburgh. It's not even a competition. The dough was perfectly cooked. Light. Crispy. Tasty. The quality of the bread in general was just amazing. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant was great too. Perfect for a date night, or special occasion. If you are a pizza guy like me then this is a must visit in Edinburgh. I would imagine that you will be as impressed as i was. 10/10”

“Excellent pizza at this new local spot (replacing the much missed Maradona). Delicious olives to start - in a very generous portion - followed by really good pizza. Friendly casual service with lots of Italian chatter to add atmosphere! An added bonus is that seats outside capture the last sun in the evening... Bliss.”

“Real pizza oven and quality ingredients. Friendly Italian owner and makes the best pizza in Edinburgh. Don't order Dominos when this is here!”

“Food was excellent and very well priced. Place is busy! Went on a Monday evening and was lucky to get a table. Very loud inside. The decor could maybe do with an update. Would recommend booking!”

“Excellent Pizza. We collected, but can’t wait to come in to the restaurant and try more of the menu. Really friendly staff and the effort put into the food clearly shows. 10/10!”

“Great Pizza in the heart of Edinburgh. We were sceptical at first if we can get a good Italian pizza in the north of GB. But it was sooo damn good. If you like good Italian pizza try this one!”

“Took my family for dinner. Food was great quality and quantity. Staff friendly and helpful. Took to the bar after which had the football on. Mixed age groups, all welcomed and a cosy fire.”

“Best pasta I've eaten outside of Italy without a doubt. Very fresh, the sauce was rich and meaty but didn't overpower the dish. Trust me if you love Italian food and are a pasta lover... you'll be happy you ordered from here. I'll definitely be ordering again.”

“Lovely pre theatre dinner for 6. All food on the table at the same time and very tasty. Friendly staff looking forward to going back”

“Delicious linguine with pistachio pesto pancetta and proper cappuccino. Can taste the quality incidents and pasta was al dante. Friendly people. Quick service. Would be back again soon.”

“Great Neapolitan pizza, menu with pizza rossa and bianca, house recommended pizzas, and specials on the day. Simple selecting of popular beers and red/white house wine. Drinks and pizzas arrived in minutes, great flavours on amazing bases. Would certainly visit again, looks good for two but also larger groups.”

“What a fantastic experience at this pizza restaurant! They serve authentic Italian pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven, giving it a unique and distinctive flavor. The pizza is incredibly delicious, and the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. It's clear that the chefs work with high professionalism, and the pizza is prepared with utmost care.”

“Really good pizza and so many vegan options! We recommend the vegan parmigiana!”

“Super good dinner! We got the bruschetta for an appetizer which came out to us about 30 seconds after ordering it, which was great because we were starving! We ordered a pizza, forget which one exactly, but it was delicious!! Great environment, love the kitchen is right out front, makes it really fun!”

“One of my favourite restaurants around Edinburgh. Their food is delicious and the service is friendly. We had pizza, pasta and salads. 10/10!”

“Authentic Neapolitan pizza place in the heart of Leith (Edinburgh). Really good choice of sides and appetizers. Quality ingredients and scrumptious Neapolitan pizzas. A must for any pizza lover.”

“Really nice place. Fast and friendly service, the polpette were nice, the lasagne was excellent. I love the way my affogato was served.”

“First visit but will be the first of many to come. Had the 2 course lunch menu, excellent pate served with quality toasted bread and breadcrumbed veal with a spinach and cream sauce, followed by tiramisu from the a la carte menu which was incredibly good. Great service from "Meemo " the lone waiter.”

“We became obsessed with Mamma Roma and we would gladly come back. We had an earlier dinner after getting to Edinburg, so there was plenty of seating. However, I would highly recommend booking a table if you plan to eat at a normal time. We started with the focaccia bufalo e pomodorini and we were immediately surprised by the quality and taste, which set the tone for the rest of the dinner. I'm not sure how focaccia can be so delicious, but trust me. For entrees we got a mix of filled pastas, but the ravioli and lasagna were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the ravioli caprino e peperoni! We almost came back a second time the same week, but figured we should try other places while we are traveling.”

“Wow! What an amazing restaurant. Food was fantastic, portion was great and plenty of prawns in the prawn pasta! The bottle of wine we wanted was sold out, but our fantastic waiter recommended us a different bottle at the same price. Staff were fantastic, would love to come back here.”

“Absolutely delicious lunch this afternoon from starter to dessert for our party of 7. Attentive and friendly staff. Small and intimate atmosphere and generous portions beautifully presented. My first visit but will be back soon.”
