Margiotta Dundas Street

Reasonable, but only stocks low fat dairy options for some reason. The lack of full fat Greek yoghurt and cottage cheese is disappointing. Margiotta stocks locally sourced food, including from a farm I personally know to be looked after by good people (Phantasie farm) so it is a great place to shop.Edit: Based on the reply from Margiotta staff, I may just be showing too late for the full fat stuff which must be high demand :). Thanks for the reply.

Such a wonderful store with such a selection! Don't like the deceptive initial appearance of the place fool you, the store has huge array of products in the back covering household items to a well stock alcohol range.Right on my doorstep and always the first place I visit when grocery shopping.

I discovered this shop by mistake as I only needed some bananas...well guess what? I ended up having a very nice surprise as the shop is super refurnished with all italian (and not) specialities. Freshly made panini and a very good looking pizza. I am impressed.

Great Neighborhood Market! We're staying on Great King Street for a few months and are so delighted to have Margiotta just down the street. The store is bright, well organized, very clean and has lots to offer.They have a large selection of Cook" frozen food that we've found to be quite good and an excellent option for eating something uncomplicated at home. We've tried several and all have been very good - the Chicken & Mushroom lasagne is a favorite. There is a very large selection of extremely reasonably priced wines perfect for some satisfying home sipping.There is a wide variety of choice in almost product category and the people who work here are incredibly

Get all the stuff I need here. Very convenient and good quality

The security guard makes people feel unwanted simply for browsing for food, felt pressured to buy a pasta meal I didn’t even want, and the people on the tills didn’t ask if I needed a bag, won’t be going back

Growing up in Edinburgh I really used to like the convenience of the Margiotta shops and they always felt a little different to the usual newsagent. Now a days, for better or for worse, mini 'metro' branches of supermarkets have a superior range and pricing and are putting shops like this out of business. This seems to be an inevitability for this little shop at some point. Prices are a bit higher, there's a little less to choose from inside. I like the smell and atmosphere walking around the shop but there's nothing new about it or exciting. In my head I think of it as better value and choice than an RS McColls but less choice and value than a small supermarket chain and largely obsolete.

Strangely whenever I go in here they're always playing either the Star Wars theme tune or the one from Superman... it adds an air of drama to stocking up on some essentials on a Tuesday night! That aside, it's a great wee shop with a good selection of locally made products (think oils, sauces and tablet) as well as big brand favourites. The range of magazines is better than most supermarkets carry too, even stocking the American versions of certain magazines.

I go in here every day and the chap on the till during the week is so pleasant and helpful, he always has my ciggies ready for me before I even get to the till. Great service with a smile.
