    We were 3 adults and 5 children aged between 10 & 15. We had a very positive experience. We were visiting Edinburgh to catch up with each other and this place was perfect to do that, it was really easy to talk to each other. The service was excellent all wait staff were absolutely lovely and the food was great.

    I have eaten all over Italy and this was, hands down, the best Italian I have ever had. Staff was very efficient and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
