This is my partner and I's regular date night spot and it never disappoint. Exceptionally diverse and well-priced menu, friendly for many dietary requirements and with gluten free options. The staff is always top notch, never forgetting any detail (special compliments to the manager Nemo for his diligence and welcoming attitude). All in all, the best Italian in Edinburgh!
