I Ordered a medium stake it was way to over cooked. there was literally no flavor, I don't recommend this restaurant. i tried sending back my stake but they were out of stake to re make it so they brought back my old one for me eat I did not eat it i highly recommend you don't go to this tasteless restaurant.

We found Piccolino scrolling open table/yelp looking for dinner suggestions and decided to follow the reviews and give it a shot. Our food and service were both outstanding. I'll be dreaming of that pasta for quite a while. If you're into Italian and in the area, definitely check out Piccolino!

The staff were very friendly and Welcoming. The pasta was one of the best I've ever had and the wait time was very reasonable for very great, tasty and fabulous food.

The food was amazing and the service was great as well. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we got there and managed to get a table easily.

The food here was incredible!! Very authentic taste, cozy atmosphere, quick and attentive service, and awesome drinks! The pornstar martini was refreshing and perfectly sweet but not too sweet. Food was incredible with generous portions. Highly highly recommend!

Piccolino is a gem of a restaurant with wonderful service and high quality food. Our waiter, Gianvito, took such good care of us and everything was delicious. Best Italian i've had in Edinburgh by far, and would recommend to anyone for both the experience and food.

Sea food (starter).

The service was very good. The food was great. We got there in our way to the old city. We had soup lasagna which were all great. The stuff we're friendly.

See all

Our hotel referred us to this restaurant within walking distance. They even called and made a…read morereservation just in case they were busy. What a find! Food came out hot and delicious. I had lasagna and my friend had a chicken dish. Both were full of flavor. Then we decided to treat ourselves to dessert since they are famous fir their gelato. Wow! Dessert was even better than the meal. Not sure when I will be back to Edinburgh but I will definitely return here if so.

We went here for dessert as they were noted for their gelato based desserts. The guy behind the…read moredessert counter was nice but the rest of the crew seemed rushed and not to happy to have us eat in with just desserts. I ordered the Haggis Ravioli as it was on my list of delicacies to eat in Edinburgh but the rest of our orders were the sweet stuff. We got the Affogato served with espresso in a moka pot which was a first time for us. The crepe and the chocolate caked served with gelato were even better. The main restaurant has Italian caricatures and murals which was a nice touch. The secondary dining area (The Hispaniola) had feels of a Spanish pirate ship which was odd for an Italian themed restaurant. The latter was the site of the Rutherford's Bar (1834-2007) frequented by famous clientele and then was transformed into a Treasure Island themed restaurant. Food was really good. I'll even come back when in Edinburgh. Service could use a little work though.

Just an awesome, rockin' final meal in Edinburgh - fantastic food, good service and energized local…read morevibe! Absolute must to get reservations! We tried on our first week in Edinburgh and failed, but were able to make reservations 3 weeks out for our last night in Scotland, and we are glad we did. Pork cracklins were a bit hard and crunchy, but everything else was perfect. We had fresh bread and langostinis for starters, along with a smokey whiskey cocktail, the Smoked Indiscretion! For mains we enjoyed the poached Cod, and the Pork with Barley. Service was very good, and wine selection was extensive. Atmosphere was loud with music and locals' chatter in the bar below, but dark tables and heavy wood panels made it a perfect place for a couple celebrating 3 weeks of travel. Highly recommend a visit to the Devil's Advocate, if you can book a table in advance.

The Devil's Advocate is undoubtedly a treasure to find in Old Town Edinburgh, especially if you…read moreaccidentally take the News Steps to get there, only to realize you should have simply taken the steps up Advocate's Close from Cockburn Street. But they call these lessons, "character building," apparently. No matter, the Devil's Advocate is worth the search. Located in an old Victorian pump house halfway up (or down) Advocate's Close, the Devil's Advocate is known for a killer whisky shelf of more than 300 different bottles from various distilleries across the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Campbelltown, the Islands, and Islay. I finally sipped on a 15-year Tamdu that has convinced me to keep a bottle at home. Then there's the Clydeside 2024 Limited Edition Cask Strength that was wicked impressive. The bartenders are class at making and serving seasonal and regular cocktails that have their spin and character. My wife enjoyed gin-based cocktails such as the Clean Slate (with St-Germain, citrus, and sugar), Rose Garden (with Yellow Chartreuse, Cocchi Rosa, apple, lemon, and mint), and Bee's Knees (honey and lemon). I went full speed ahead with the scotch cocktails, which are essentially classics with a scotch-substituted twist. The Double Shot is an Espresso Martini with Dalmore 12 in addition to Kahlua, espresso, and demerara -- quite smooth without being too sweet. The Scotzia is a Negroni with Fettercairn 12, while the Boxcar is a Sidecar only with Aberfeldy 12. We enjoyed the bar for a few hours, watching the bartenders make magic while sipping on cocktails, while listening to 80s pop tunes. A great evening indeed.
