Summary: Fine Italian dining in the centre of Edinburgh, but expensive.Cucina is an Italian-themed restaurant attached to G&V Royal Mile Hotel. Like the hotel, the décor is almost painfully stylish, with blacks and white complemented by splashes of bright colour and moody lighting. This, combined, forms a vibrant space where eternally happy staff zip from table to table with fixed 5-star smiles. Though undoubtedly friendly, I found the service, like the surroundings, somewhat soulless, standing in contrast to other fine dining restaurants in the centre of Edinburgh. Further, my chair was uncomfortable -- the upholstery a touch too stiff -- which did not marry well with the hip, relaxed surroundings.That said, the food was absolutely delicious, and the wine list offered a broad mix of old world and new, certain to appeal to any taste. However, given many other Italian restaurants can be found in the local area, some of which have equally good food, but often at significantly lower prices, it's hard to recommend Cucina above its peers. That said, if you happen to be staying at the hotel, convenience alone makes it a perfect option, especially as the food really is that good.

Just got back from a fantastic brunch at Cucina! Delicious starter buffet table, with a lovely selection of food. Main was very tasty, I had roast chicken, my husband had roast beef with all the trimmings. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We've booked to come back already !!!

Excellent restaurant. High class. Lovely ambience. The food is , maybe, 15% higher price than average restaurant, but the food is just fantastic. Of the highest quality, and the service is superb. The complimentary breads they bring round, are amazing. Will go back!

I booked a table as a treat for my partner and I having eaten at Cucina several years ago while it was part of the Missoni Hotel (I had my wedding there, so Cucina did the food which was absolutely AMAZING) I have no idea WHAT has happened in between times but for the current proprietors to still be trading off the previous reputation of this as an award winning italian restaurant is nothing short of shameful. Firstly we walked in on a busy, sunny summers night in Edinburgh city centre and the place was dead, at 7:30pm. Only two other couples dining, and dining in near darkness - the lighting was just bizarrely low, nothing moody or ambient about it, it was just dark. The waiter came round with the bread basket and tongs, where I explained that I'm gluten intolerant and was delighted when he said immediately that's no problem!" and whisked off to the kitchen. He came back with two slices of the driest

Worst Italian restaurant I have ever been in. I have had better pasta in the wilds of West Africa than the glutinous mess these clowns served, thank God the portions were small.If you are a fan of true Italian food for the sake of your sanity stay away. If I could give negative stars I would have.

Went for Sunday brunch. Good concept but not great execution. Prosecco always topped up which was a big plus, but starters unexciting and main (We had the roast beef) was cold and chewy. Dessert excellent thou and decor nice

we ordered a pasta for starter amd it was quite undercooked. wemdo know the difference between speghetti being al dente but ours were still crumchy. we told the staff about it but they just took the dish away with no compensation or anything. for mains we had cod fillet and pork fillet, both were overcooked. on terms of service, staffs were mostly polite but they could be more caeeful such as not spilling things arpund on our table and did not not even wipe it away being a michelin guide restaurant, we expected better service and way better food we are very disappointed and wont recommend coming here.

Ate here with 3 friends and my wife. We arrived to an empty restaurant (although it was a Monday night). Cool welcome and it didn't get much warmer. Main waitress was very perfunctoy. Little explanation of food and as we were the only diners for some time it wasn't because they were busy! Food was fine but not what I would expect in a restaurant with such a good reputation. All in all not very good

Food: We ordered three starters (the octopus, the caprese and the zucchini) along with three entrees (the lasagna, the lamb and the ribeye steak). Everything was delicious especially the lasagne. For dessert we shared ice cream.Drinks: We ordered one bottle of red wine.Price: 105.25 GBP for three people.Ambiance: The restaurant is very nice and wasn't very crowded.Service: It was fine and our waitress was friendly.Would I go back? Yes, it's good food and convenient if you're staying in the hotel.

Two couples shared an excellent dinner with fine food and fine service. The scallop appetizer was particularly delicious. We had a late dinner but had no sense at all of being rushed. The seating was comfortable and the ambient noise better than average (that is, less).
