Polentoni - Table reservation

This is one of the few gems on Easter Road and worth the trek! Franco is a master at his craft and turns out high quality in a very consistent way. His foccaia is tender and fresh, arancini awesome, sandwiches are made with fresh baked bread and fresh ingredients (you can watch him making them each morning), the pizzas he makes are delicious and inventive. The sweet stuff he sells is pure addiction level stuff! If you find youself at the top of Easter Road, stop here for a little something to carry you on down the road.

Many claim to have ‘gourmet’ fast food Polentoni DOES! I am an Italian who has lived in Edinburgh for 20 years and Polentoni is possibly the only place where I have found authentic italian flavours. Franco is really knowledgeable and passionate about gastronomy and always keeps the offering interesting and varied by introducing regional specialities to his Scottish customers. More vegetarian options than in the past, SO GOOD!

Go out of your way to get a Polentoni sandwich it’s 110% worth it! The bread, meats, cheeses and fillings are authentically Italian and very reasonably priced for the exceptional quality they are. I used to go here lots when it was a full restaurant and their food was always outstanding. I think they only do take away now. Can’t recommend highly enough! Also the staff are lovely :

Just the best. Absolutely perfect. So wish it was closer to Midlothian and I’d go every single day. I cannot believe there’s not always a queue down the street. Fantastic food. Never been let down over the years. Just sublime.
