Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goat cheese Seada with figs and honey was absolutely superb: a crispy deep-fried “raviolo” filled with salty goat cheese and balanced by the honey. To kill for. Not joking. Good selection of less-known Italian wines, including several from the Marche region. Not ridiculously expensive, cosy and great vfm. Lovely folk too; food made with love and hospitality.
What an incredible wee gem! We asked for a table very last minute on a Friday night and they were delighted to welcome us in. Such a beautiful venue! Run by husband and wife it was fantastic to support an independent family restaurant. The wine list is class! They helped recommend a wine we have never had and wouldn’t have opted for divine!! Let’s start with the homemade foccacia so fresh, crusty, salty. This was served with a whipped pesto almond butter. The best bread I’ve ever had. So good I asked to buy some to take home. They kindly gave us some complimentary. We shared starters tuna tartare (so fresh) and beautifully presented. Veal meatballs exploding with flavour and my favourite dish was the vegetarian ravioli with an incredible cheese foam sauce WOW! Mains we had Scottish Wild Boar tagliatelle and Scottish seared grouse. The provenance around this menu should be celebrated the best Italian dinner I’ve ever had using some of the best Scottish ingredients. Thank you for having us. I cannot wait to return!
Can’t stress enough what a special experience this delightful little restaurant is. Just a handful of tables and a taster menu that would be unrivalled in any Michelin star restaurant. Personal service but never overwhelming. The wine pairing is a must as the charming Italian sommelier really knows his stuff but do a so in such a relaxed way as to make it feel like a real adventure. I’d never tried any of the wines before (each a perfect pairing with the very imaginative little meals) and every one was a delightful revelation. The tiny restaurant is both classy lovely crockery too! and romantic. You could easily be on some Venetian back street. Our excellent meal was entirely vegetarian but ‘normal’ diets are well catered for too! Book to avoid disappointment and then expect a terrific and friendly and truly Italian experience.
A lovely little Italian restaurant with delicious food! After reading positive reviews on Tripadvisor, we chose to eat here on our first night in Edinburgh and we were not disappointed!! The focaccia is incredible. Great food in a lovely setting. We will definitely return on our next visit to Edinburgh!
Fantastic little restaurant. If you like good quality food and service then this is your place to go. Well worth a visit.
