Booked a table for 10 on a Friday night during the festival. From the outside this restaurant looks ordinary, however, the experience was far from ordinary and did not disappoint. The service for such a large group was excellent. The menu has plenty of choice , bbq meat being the main attraction. As well as the food we ordered the chef provided us with small plates of humous and other delicacies which was a nice touch. Good value for money.We booked a table around 9.30 which was quite late but were never rushed or put under pressure despite being the last diners in the restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Itâs a while since weâve been to the Hanedan and I have to say I think itâs improved (though perfectly sound to begin with). The menu is much the same, but I thought the cooking and presentation showed a bit more finesse. Generous helpings and everything very fresh and tasty.

Some of the best tapas we've had. Cute place with friendly service. The stuffed Piqillo peppers were incredible. The bread with ham was delicious. The scallop special tapas was good as well. We had the orange cake for dessert which was tasty. Hip atmosphere. Great restaurant.

I was invited here as part of a family gathering and, to be honest, wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Greek food because of previous experiences. I'm completely converted now! It was EXCELLENT. So fresh and tasty and obviously prepared with care. Everything was delicious and we all shared the various dishes. So good! Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff as well. I need to go back and try everything else on the menu... Highly recommended!

Verdo Turkish restaurant - Voted best Turkish Kebab restaurant in Edinburgh 2018 - BBQ dishes inspired by the traditional food of Turkey.

Visited here for a friend's birthday. Great food and service, the waiters were attentive and accommodating. My only slight issue was the price - considering the establishment is a little out of the city centre, it did seem a bit overpriced. However, I'd still visit again, but only for a special occasion.

The standard of food in Bruntsfield is generally very high, and the standard of service is very high too. Tempo Perso finds its place amongst the champions in the area.3 of us went in for a meal mid-week, one of our party is coeliac. There was an excellent GF menu, the staff handled the need for GF really well, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We randomly chose this restaurant after walking by it from our B&B into town and what a delightful experience! Service was excellent, prices were reasonable and our meals were excellent. Nice atmosphere inside as well. I especially enjoyed the pear and ricotta ravioli. Highly recommended.

Southern Italian using the very best of Italian and local Scottish produce.
Reviewed By thoughtfuldiner
Nothing is ever routine or banal here, not the atmosphere, not the service and not, of course, the cuisine.The personality of chef patron Rosario Sartore transpires from all his dishes, a Neapolitan-Scottish feast of colour and flavour. Today we had the ever wonderful Lobster linguine; and the pasta with potatoes and provola and tomatoes and pork cheek (guanciale), the sauce acquiring a pleasantly dense texture thanks to the potato, a gentle touch of heat, and all the richness from the cheese and pork.One main was another of our all-time favourites, the "big shoe"" (scarpone) of aubergine, a great vegetariandish. Instead of another main, we ordered two calf livers, presented with parmigiano shavings and delicate green leaves, light and intense.To conclude on a sweet note, we shared a pear creme caramel, I think it was the first time I saw this on the menu, but I hope not the last!The room has recently had a minor renovation and it remains probably the most charming and warm restaurant room in town. Service is special, and prices too.

My husband, teenage son and I ate here on our first night in Edinburgh. It is slightly out of the main centre but well worth going to for some delicious Italian food. The risottos were excellent, as was the pizza my son had. Would definitely return if we are in Edinburgh again.

We had a lovely meal at Ciboâs with the family. The restaurant is spacious and welcoming so you donât feel like youâre being too noisy with a young family. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. Would recommend the lasagna and pizza that we had. The kids meals were perfect and everyone elseâs meals looked delicious as well. We will definitely go back.
