As the team at Edinburgh’s Piccolino will tell you themselves, no love is more sincere than love of food.

Staff was not up to it. Bartender (heavy set kid) wasn't prepared for the job. Couldn't open a sparkling water bottle. Food is above average. But not the best Italian. Lacked the Italian taste a bit. Slightly overpriced.

We chose this restaurant after reading many of the positive reviews on Open Table. We were made to feel very welcome by the young staff who were personable and knowledgable about all their menu items. The Zuppettina Di Pesce starter was amazing and the Caprese salad was well presented and generous in size. Main courses were delicious; the venison was exactly as described on the menu and the king prawn linguine was full of flavour. We asked for a recommendation from the wine list and were pleased with the resulting bottle. We had a lovely evening and the meal was good value. Highly recommended !

A perfect little gem. Fantastic service and delicious food, served with love by the wonderful staff team. No frills decor and lighting was a bit bright, but this just let the service and food shine through. I’d highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine and we will definitely be back.
