"The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Just a heads up: you don't need to order any sides with your main course, as it already comes with potatoes, vegetables, and salad. We weren't aware of that and ended up with a large takeout bag that we donated to the homeless."

"A lot of money for whatever you get. We were still hungry. Boden menu mussel with wine to a cheaper price. This price wasn't given because I had rose wine taken ipv house wine. However, none of this was listed on the board. I'm overreacting friendly."

"As a chef for the past 10 years I know a genuine eatery when I go there. This place ticked all of the boxes. We arrived and they didn't have a table for us. We should definitely have booked ahead) but they managed to get us a table ready really quickly and without any fuss. Then once we say down the staff were the friendliest people you could imagine. In true Italian fashion they were kind generous and exceptionally well timed. We ordered some breads for the table. Various starters and pastas the truffle fettuccine was one of the best pastas I have eaten in a long time. That dish, along with the rest of the food brought me straight back to the restaurants in Italy. Thank you to you and all of your team."

"We had a lovely time at this place. We were 4 mums and 5 children ages 2 to 10 years old. We didn't book but they made a space for us. The staff are very welcoming and made us feel welcome as soon as we came in. We were offered high chairs which were a good height so the 2 and 3 Yr old could eat at the table. The atmosphere is vibrant which I like. Very Italian. The food was lovely. The chicken Kiev usually comes with potatoes but I exchanged it for fries. Everything came out hot and fresh. The pizzas and garlic bread were very nice. My 10yr old had the pesto pasta which she said was delicious. I had the tiramisu which was awesome. Homemade. Thr mascarponi was so delicious. I was stuffed until I couldn't move! The bill was £160 for 4 adults and 5 kids which I thought was fantastic value for money. Would definitely return."

"I throughly enjoyed my recent visit to this restaurant. A warm welcome was received upon arrival and instantly you are made to feel welcome. There were so many gluten free options, that I struggled to decide on what to have. I went for the ravioli in the end. It was delicious. The rest of my family had different dishes and these all looked lovely. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Desserts again were lovely and I found the meal reasonably priced. We were not rushed to leave and all the staff were so friendly. I do love going to family run businesses rather than a restaurant chain. I can't wait to return to try out the rest of the menu."

"We managed to get a last minute booking which surprised us, given that it was a Friday evening in the west end. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and given a nice table by the window. We ordered wine which was decanted at the table by our waitress Valentina. We chose mussels to start followed by pizza and sergios cod provencal along with a tomato and onion salad which they kindly prepared despite not being on the menu, (not always easy to achieve in many other restaurants) The mussels were tiny and many of the shells were empty, however the marinara sauce was tasty. The pizza, quattro formaggi was incredibly salty and doughy. The cod dish was bland and in our opinion the fish was undercooked. We were hungry so ate what we could. But left a considerable amount of food untouched. When the waitress came to clear she could obviously see that we had not enjoyed the food and asked how it was. She was also surprised that no-one had come to do a quality check. She said she would go and speak to the manager, which she did. After we paid and made to leave the manager then approached and offered us a limoncello which we declined. Sadly we were disappointed and despite there being many celebrity photographs adorning the walls, we found the experience underwhelming."
"Went here randomly as the nearest place to where I met a business partner... and was blown away by the food quality and service. The staff were fantastic attentive and engaging, and clearly very experienced. The price seemed impossibly good for such high quality meals, with very decent portion sizes. The spicy chicken penne was amazing. The tomatoes tasted very real and the aroma reminded me of my Mediterranean heritage. The pizzas looked amazing too, freshly made on site from scratch, baked in view of the seating area, and a very good size considering the price and attention to detail. No silent adding of tips to the bill was the icing on the cake."

"We came early for a pre concert meal. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant has was already quite busy. We ordered a glass of house wine of good quality a main dish, side salad and desert. We both chose the fresh=made ravioli with crab meat with a lobster bisque sauce, which was delicious, along with a very fresh mozzarella/tomato salad. A shared ice cream desert rounded off a very enjoyable meal. Service was professional and friendly. Highly recommended."

"Very disappointing tbh. Some of the staff, not all, really quite abrupt and no one really made an effort to seat us upon arrival despite booking in advance. We were told simply to have table back for a certain time. The food was average at best. Nothing was particularly fresh or had much flavour. I noticed kitchen staff taking bags of supermarket salad to kitchen and the filled pasta I ordered was no better than that you would buy in a packet out a supermarket either. My main was lukewarm and not a very big portion or well presented. The waitress snatched my mums plate away as soon as she put her cutlery down after her main. Find this very off putting and all felt very rushed. The desserts on offer looked shop bought and nothing really had an authentic feel to it. Appreciate it was a Saturday evening prior to the theatre beginning and restaurant was busy but wouldn't be in a rush to go back have had much better meals in Edinburgh City centre. We booked for the location next to theatre and left feeling very disappointed and both had upset stomachs later in evening. Overall quite poor."
"Didn't know this place was even there. Very retro looking inside, like an Italian. Don't let that put you off though. Both the food and service were great. Our waitress was really nice and offered us the pre-theatre menu despite it being past time for it. Food arrived quickly and the portion sizes were really generous. After the good food and brilliant service we got another good surprise when the tiny bill arrived. We had three courses each and a bottle of wine for Such good value. We agreed we would definitely visit Azzurro again."

"excellent place in the middle of the city, I will certainly add it to the lists of the place in future frequently. we ordered a mix of pasta, moan, huh and a sharing board and everything was high quality. the portions were plentiful (like the wine! , everything quickly arrived for us as we were before eating. I had a little problem when I tried to pay with an OpenTable check as they had not heard of them! Not for the first time I tried to use it, I owe opentable for this not the restaurant! Obviously they need to communicate better. the staff there could not have been more beautiful and gave a discount for the confusion. they didn't need to do this and I was really impressed that kind of great customer service is how they get loyal customers, I'm sure one now!"

"For my starter, I chose the beef carpaccio, which was disappointingly minimal—just four wafer-thin slices of beef. However, the real issue arose with the main course. Both my wife and I ordered the beef medallions, and I do enjoy beef! The menu indicated that all dishes came with vegetables and potatoes. While we received some vegetables on our plates, there were no potatoes. When I inquired about this, I was met with some blank stares before being offered chips. I had to point out the mention of potatoes on the menu, and the waiter hurried off to the kitchen. He returned a few minutes later stating that the potatoes were boiling and would be ready shortly. At that point, we had nearly finished our other food, so we declined the offer. There was a half-hearted apology, but no offer to adjust the bill. To add insult to injury, they included a service charge, which I refused to pay—something I've never done before. I really wanted to enjoy La Meridiana, but the experience was awful. If it weren't for the comical, Fawlty Towers-like mishaps, it would have genuinely ruined a much-anticipated Mother's Day."

"Recommended to us by a friend, Italian Pizza Connection is an authentic Italian pizzeria with ultra friendly staff and gigantic, thin crust pizzas. Since it was very near our hotel in Bayswater, we decided to check it out. It had been a particularly long morning since we had just checked into our hotel (yes, we got lost on the way there), we had nearly nothing for breakfast, I almost missed my morning coffee (I am pretty much a monster without my coffee in the morning), and we were famished by lunch time. A giant pizza sounded perfect. As soon as we walked in, we got a big waft of baking pizza, rich tomato sauce, smells of freshly baked pizza crust and smokey smells of herbs and spices....read more"

"the restaurant is local, but it is quite not descriptive from the outside. it is on the small side, quite basic and in an unattractive parade of shops. yet that besides the restaurants fokus offers good Italian cuisine at a great price. the service was both fast and polite. we shared a large starter of mixed antipasti with plenty of meat, cheese and broth. for our main we chose two pizzas that were both big and packed with toppings (pizzeria chains to shame). our son had meatballs and spaghetti from the children's menu that contains a dessert. the house (red) wein was ok, but there is a decent wine list to choose from. we will definitely go back, it is one of the more authentic Italians in the opposite."

"we were looking for a quick appetizer, as we have a short time between afternoon activities and a visit to the citizen’s theatre, training spotting, fantastic, but that is for another review site! very practical restaurant for parking and theatre, and welcomed by friendly staff. restaurants were quiet around 18 o'clock, we both chose from the 2 cursor menu. we had bruschetta and zuppa di fagioli to begin with a side garlauchbrot, the bruschetta was fantastic. for the net I had pollo alla cacciatore, nicely cooked and tasted fantastic. my wife had pennette amatriciana, she also thought is really nice. we will certainly go back when we have a little more time to relax and enjoy the experience, but the personal and the service we have received was very good."

"Previous visits were good, but there are signs that the pizzas had an economic overhaul. frugal toppings and being honest, not so delicious. the broth base was good. service was also slow, but it was a busy night for them. 40 minutes to get a drink longer for eating. hopefully this was a bad night, as putney has little alternative for good local italians."

"Wonderful Italian food! It is often hard to find good Italian pasta for someone with Celiacs. Cotto beats the sign! The owner welcomed every table and made us feel really comfortable and at home."
