When I ordered the Tagliatelle Dello Chef, the waitress (who I assume is the owner and runs the place) told me: good choice! And what can I say, it was a really good choice for a nice price indeed, overall a very delicious meal! We also shared a few laughs. I can recommend this place a lot. Regards, Sascha

Io e la mia fidanzata siamo capitati per caso in questo locale e siamo rimasti piacevolmente sorpresi dalla cordialità e dalla professionalità mostrati dal personale. Ida è una persona davvero a modo e professionale, il cibo era sempre tutto ottimo e la posizione è in pieno centro. Locale che consiglio a tutti come punto di riferimento per mangiare bene, spendendo il giusto, stando in un ambiente familiare e sorridente. Rimarrà sempre uno dei nostri punti di riferimento quando ricapiteremo ad Edimburgo.
