"We were surprised to find that, for a busy Friday night in central Edinburgh, the place was very quiet. Only two other tables of two. We were a noisy party of six and realised we had taken over the place! Caffe Centro feels very authentically Italian ... and is, as the name suggests, more cafe than restaurant. However the staff were great, the typically Italian food was REALLY excellent proper home cooking. Bar stock, and wine list also pretty good. We were each given a Limoncello, on the house, at the end of our dinner, which was a lovely touch. Our group hadn 't planned to 'make a night of it ' as had early plans for the next morning, but just as well, as the place was closing at ten and it did become obvious that the staff were keen to get away home! We loved our time there, and will definitely return. We would also recommend it as a good, city centre venue... but would stress the 'caffe ' part a plush restaurant it isn 't, but we did feel we had just spent a few hours in Italy!"

I’ve visited this restaurant numerous times and have never been disappointed in quality of food, service or price...my only issue is that it closes at around 10pm which is quite early for a Friday

Overall very good. The restaurant is a bit of a mashup between a cafe and a bistro but does it well. Staff all nice, food really good with great big helpings. No hesitation in recommending or going again.

This is a small, but very well situated Cafe Restaurant in George St, Edinburgh, Scotland. The food is very good, authentic, tasty and well priced for repeat custom. Their staff are terrific, very friendly and attentive to your needs, nothing is too much of a bother. We have been several times for lunch and once for dinner, and have never been disappointed.

Really enjoyed our dinner. Service was very friendly if a bit sparse. Very good wine list with something for everyone. The only food I did not enjoy was the stuffed cabbage leaf served with the beef cheeks themselves delicious)...it didn't taste like much beyond steamed cabbage. Overall. Had a great time and found a quaint restaurant off the beaten path for a tourist.
