    Meatballs
    Rebecca Q.

    I'll give our server grace since it seemed like her second day on the job, but that was probably why the food/bill took so long. The squid ink risotto was super pigmented/rich and the original carbonara was so amazingly creamy, almost too much so where I couldn't finish. The cheesecake was said to be blackcurrant but I'm relatively certain it was just chocolate, but the gelato was great. Meatballs were amazing as well.

    Variety of Italian food and sweats , nice & new place, good eating atmosphere and friendly staff

    Sticky toffee pudding

    HIGHLY recommend. Fun vibes; amazing, fast service; friendly wait staff. And the food. Was. Spectacular. Tagliatelle pescatore was absolutely phenomenal. Might be some of the best pasta sauce I've ever had. The flavors were just fantastic. And get the sticky toffee pudding. TRUST. It is so delicious. Also the gelato is so smooth. 10/10, definitely go here!

    Vittoria checks all boxes for food, service and ambiance. The restaurant is very appealing outside and once you walk inside it's even more appealing. I ordered the Vittoria pasta which was recommended. The portion was a bit small but still filling. My pasta was very good and I enjoyed it with their hot chili oil. For dessert I ordered the rum raisin ice cream which was also very good. Our server was very sweet and made our dining experience enjoyable. My boyfriend really enjoyed the pizza here. I can't wait to return to Vittoria for great Italian food when I visit Edinburgh again. Highly recommend!

    We had such a lovely dinner here. The venue is so much bigger than you would think walking in. We were seated downstairs near the bar. The food was served so quickly and it was delicious. It was so nice to see actual Italians talking to each other Italian (coming from Southern California). We had pizza and pasta and they offer a half pizza and smaller serving of pasta already split between two people. Perfect for my husband and I who shared the capricciosa pizza and the tagliatelle bolognese. My son had the Diavolo pizza and my other sons had the margarita pizza. Everyone was so happy with their choices.

    Yum! One of the best meals we've had so far this trip. The calamari was okay but not amazing. I liked my vittoria pasta. My husbands pizza was good but we'd probably try another pizza next time. Would recommend to anyone who's visiting town.

    Superb experience in this clearly family run place that could be in Bologna or Venice. This has a cool modern vibe with nice lighting, bench seating along the wall and purple led light over the middle part. The service was excellent but the star is the food. I had a passable minestrone but the daily pasta special was incredible. This was a black pasta with a ton of very fresh shrimp and a wonderful tomato sauce that had a slight kick to it and wa based on a seafood reduction. Truly special. They have two types of carbonara the wife had the traditional version and loved it. They have quite a selection of aperitivos, scotch, beer and mixed drinks. The wine list is small but well curated.

    Chicken pesto rigatoni

    If you're in the mood for Italian food while in Edinburgh, then Vittoria is the place for you. I loved the modern chic interior. Service could have been friendlier, though I did appreciate the efficiency when my food came out fairly quickly. I ordered the chicken and pesto pasta, which was pretty good overall - the chicken was on the dry side but the sauce was amazing. I've never tried red pesto before, which gets its vibrant red color from sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers, and has a richer flavor profile than green pesto made from basil. I have to say, I am definitely a fan. The raspberry mojito was also solid. Overall the meal was fairly satisfying.

    Last piece of Bruschetta

    I've been craving some Italian since I first came in Oct of 2023. My excitement was killed pretty quickly. Not sure if they were short staffed or just didn't care. Took longer to pay than to eat our meal. Off the starter menu we got some Bruschetta and Insalata Caprese. Bruschetta was the best part of our meal. The tomatoes in the Caprese just looked sad. I miss the bright red tomatoes that used to come with this dish. The Chicken Milanese looked amazing as presented but the favor fell completely flat. While the chicken was nice and crispy it had no flavor. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Was really hoping to have the same experience we had in 2023 and it just disappointed this time.

    The food here is SO GOOD! I'm sorry I had to say that right off the bat. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and swiftly seated and served. Food came out very quickly, but the quality was nevertheless excellent. I went with the Mac and cheese croquettes and the burrata pizza. Both were steaming hot and tasted very fresh, I was worried that the Mac and cheese would taste oily because it's fried, but it was actually very well balanced and delicious. I had 4 slices of the pizza and couldn't do anymore even if I wanted to. I loved how thin but flavorful the pizza was, and it was cooked very well. Not soggy and the perfect layers of sauce and cheese, topped with vinegar. This is what I call AUTHENTIC Italian food! It definitely exceeded expectations!

    Italian Fish Stew

    Had a good dinner here while staying in Edinburgh for a couple days. There was a 5 to 10 minute wait, so not bad. This was a nice restaurant just a block down from the Royal Mile. For food, we ordered the focaccia appetizer, Raviolini Gorgonzola & Pear, and Fish Stew. The focaccia was excellent and my wife loved the raviolini. I thought the fish stew was good, but not great. Had good flavor, but was a fairly small serving. Service was good and efficient. Definitely worth a visit for good Italian food.

    An excellent place with a unique charm and rich history. The food and service were outstanding -- we truly felt at home. Portions were generous, prices more than reasonable, and the overall experience deserves a solid 6 stars. Highly recommended!

    Walking in to The Devil's Advocate in Advocate Close, just above Market St, the large bar greets…read moreyou. We chose the Scottish Road trip whiskey flight. As someone who truly loved little about Scotch, it was a wonderful way to taste and compare smoky vs peaty whiskeys. Fun. Our table was upstairs and we sat next to an open door which allows for fresh cool air. It was a warm day in Edinburgh. Our server was wonderful, patient and really helpful. Our choices were truly delicious. We started with the fish board, olives, and mushroom skewer. We loved them all. I enjoyed the cod main dish, while my wife finished the starters. The side of asparagus was also excellent. The mouse dessert was delicious but very rich, it's enough for 4 people. The cost of dinner was also totally reasonable. I recommend this place highly.

    I don't really understand why the ratings are so high at this restaurant. We tried going here one…read moreevening and I messed up the reservation. I'm not used to seeing it in blocks and our end time was bolded but not the start time. We showed up at the end time. We were charged obviously because you have to give a card for a guarantee. I get that. I was fine with it since it was my fault. What I wasn't fine with was the rude (dare I say bitchy?) hostess who I spoke with upon arriving. She was awful to me and looked at me like I was garbage. Even after that, I decided to rebook and pay attention to the time. The restaurant had been recommended to us by a relative as the "best place they had eaten" while in Edinburgh and I wanted to try it. I booked for lunch and when we arrived the male host was lovely. We were sat early (because I always show up to a reservation early) and then we waited almost a half an hour for the one waitress there to come and help. It was fine. I can understand they are understaffed and busy. But then the food, it was also just fine. It was decent but not great. Like a lot of things in the UK, it's understated and seasoned. My husband had the pappardelle and my two children and I had the flat iron steak. His pasta had zero flavor. It was a cream based sauce. It needed more salt. As for the steak, it was fine. It was cooked well. Mine was medium rare and the kids both had medium. It was also not seasoned well. However the steak was served with a dipping sauce (a garlic sauce, a peppercorn or lemon mint). We tried all three since we had three steaks and those were all good and kept the steak from being bland. On the plate were chips (fries), which were not salted well but we had the dipping sauces. Also on the plate was plain arugula and a couple on the vine cherry tomatoes. Nothing spectacular. The waitress didn't come back once the entire time we were eating. Overall, it just wasn't worth it for the money we paid.
