Very nice place and very friendly staff.The food was good and tasty: tried the sea bream and was delicious, the burrata on the sharing board starter was very similar to the original Italian one and on the same quality was the sharing dessert!A few things I did not particularly like: the table, it feels more like a bar than an actual restaurant in fact you could get an high table with stools instead of chairs; most of the finest wine bottles were not available when we visited (15/4/23); and, generally the food was slightly overpriced compared to what you can find in other places in Edinburgh (e.g Cote, Bread Street, etc.).Overall I did really enjoy the evening and I'll definitely come back to try the pasta and the cannoli that unfortunately were also not available. Recommended!

We showed up with no reservation, we had to wait a few minutes at the bar, but not to long.The host was on point.The bartender was too. Had an aperol spritz with ginger ale not soda. He was every patient and kind when I was wishy washy on ginger ale or ginger beer. It was a tasty drink. Very good after a day of walking.Our seat was ready almost as soon as my drink was.The server was very kind and knowledgeable. She was asking about allergies (peanut for me)So they have a system for dealing with allergies that is fantastic. They bring you an iPad where you can peruse everything on the menu to check for specific allergens.We started with delicious dough petals with pork and fennel. They were delivered hot and tasty.We had the rigatoni with chicken in the spicy arrabbiata sauce with truffle skin on fries. And the crab fettuccine with lobster bisque sauce with young broccoli spears.(We asked for fresh Parmesan because we are Parmesan cheese ho's)The rigatoni was spicy but it didn't kick you in the face. Good balance and delicious. The fries were fresh burn you fingers" hot and crispy the way great fries should be!The crab fettuccine tasted good but could have used more lobster bisque sauce. Some of the noodles seemed dry

Best value for money restaurant I've been to. Food is very tasty, fancy enough but the best part is portion size. While main course is medium sized, the starter and especially the dessert is quite big for a restaurant. The starter arrived immediatly, so you won't sit there hungry for ages. The decor is pleasant, the service is great. And the prices are quite affordable. Honestly, can't find a single nitpick. Overall one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. After a 3 course meal for about £20 you won't come out hungry or broke. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

I really enjoyed my last visit but this time it was poor. Xmas menu £35 was not good. Thin soup with no bread offered. Dried out tasteless main and basic dessert. Came across at 1:30pm and didn’t get mains until 2:30. Dirty plates left in front of us for extended periods. Not enough staff to cope with the level of customers. No atmosphere in upstairs area. Not a great experience.

Got given a 3 course meal here as part of a birthday present and loved every minute of it, plenty to choose from the menu, all 3 courses were absolutely stunning, If I come across this restaurant somewhere else I'll definitely be returning, highly recommended

Good family Italian with some interesting variations on the standard fare. Took care of the kids well and even though our water knocked a glass of wine all over me I'd still recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed Gusto Italian. The server was helpful and friendly. The service was superb. The restaurant has a great vibe, we especially loved our window table. My Rigatoni Arrabbiata was great but my husband’s Roast Vegetable Salad, was divine, and I was jealous! Great portions and fair prices. Lovely experience.

The food was bland and the serving was a bit messy.We ordered both still and sparkling water and received only sparkling. Our cocktails came after the starters when our waiter asked if we wanted more drinks.. when we mentioned we haven’t even received our first!The risotto was a bit disappointing and felt like it lacked spices..Overall the cocktails were good and the starters were alright, but I expected much more!
