Just had the most delicious mortadella focaccia, and roast pepper mozzarella sarnie for £12. Got take-away but looks like they have lots of yummy Italian produce, juices, coffee etc. Will definitely try to sit in next time!

Great place for tasty Italian food in Edinburgh! Really cute authentic vibes and the staff are super friendly. A gem of a place, highly recommend.

Some time ago in a seafood restaurant a waiter recommended Gaia to me, and I am grateful to that coz the food and coffee in Gaia were amazing.We had two different pasta dishes, a salmon linguine and a fusilli in tomato sauce with aubergines. And they are done AL DENTE! The pasta was both tender and chewy, a texture I have long missed! This was a huge surprise indeed.And we had the mixed bruschettas as starter, which served 3 different types – green pesto with mozzarella, olive and aubergines in tomato sauce, and spinach on melted cheese. All tasted very great with a generous amount of fillings.And the cappuccino served there was great - it was a dry one with a thicker layer of foamed milk.

It was too oily and heavy, I felt bogged down after having the food. Just too greasy, and the pasta was way over cooked, I wasn’t sure if I was biting down on a piece of pasta or the cheesy slob.Dessert was okay, but nothing extraordinary. Rather disappointed as I had high hopes.

Easily the best value for quality menu in any cafe in leith. Top, family run business with superb service, excellent quality food and coffee. There's really no comparison elsewhere in Edinburgh. 5 stars.

Fantastic place for lunch or coffee and pastries. We went twice in two days whilst visiting Edinburgh. The specials change every day, and there's lots of fresh produce to buy in store too

Amazing little Italian deli that serves food too. Wonderful people hosting. The place is a little small and fills up very quick, but if you get a spot you are in for a treat. Definitely recommend any of the specials they have. Loved the arancinis

Wow so beautifully Italian and authentic. Menu with a few options which changes regularly, everything is super fresh and traditional. The folks who run it are so wonderful, especially the nonna through the back. Great ambience, and they even serve crodino!
