Mamma Roma

Outstanding service, they were able to squeeze our large group in on a busy saturday we night. food was fantastic, authenti and very flavorful. one of the best meals of our trip.

We were a little worried because we ordered calamari that was way over cooked and had bland breading as an appetizer but the main meals were really good! meatballs were a bit tough but the bolognese and the mushroom/smoked salmon sauce were terrific. it is not authentic italian food, it’s a bit kitschy and definitely geared towards north americans. the servers were friendly and the food came out quickly. would go again.

We had a lovely date night here. it was quite busy and we did book. we sat in the main restaurant area. the food was delicious. we had calamari and focaccia to start. probably the best calamari i have had in edinburgh so far. i had a spinach and ricotta cannelloni which was very tasty. the staff were also very friendly (and funny) it was a lovely evening.

Had a lovely meal here with my partner. we booked in advance (necessary as it’s a busy place!) and were seated as soon as we arrived. service was friendly and waiters were good fun! food arrived quickly - we had starters of calamari and the basic focaccia which were both yummy. i then ordered one of the chef’s special pastas which was incredible. they let us take away our leftovers too. would definitely recommend this place!

We had a ton of luck getting a table without a reservation. the waiter made it possible for us. after we spent 6 days in edinburgh it was our last dinner here and we are happy we ate it here. the pasta was delicious, the service was great and funny and the dessert was fantastic. we highly recommend this restaurant.
