Nonna's Kitchen - Edinburgh, City of

This restaurant is a neighborhood gem! The service is warm and friendly, the food is delicious, and every little detail is perfected. I would eat here every day for the rest of my life if I could.

Alone Italian with excellent service and great food. Lived and with a good atmosphere. The black pudding and scallops were great. An excellent place to visit.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious and the service is great. The dishes were fresh and flavorful, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We were in a rush and they went out of their way to help us. The Arancini balls were the best I've ever had, and my pasta dish was excellent, although the Venison may not have been the best choice of meat for the sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was superb, with a sweet and slightly acidic flavor. It was really tasty. Although it was a bit pricey for lunch, the specials were fantastic and the menu offered a wide variety of options. I would give this place five stars without a doubt.

I took my Mum out for lunch on Sunday 28.09.19. We chose to visit Nonna’s Kitchen for the first time. I can honestly say that our meal was wonderful, all home cooked, generous portions, and totally unrushed . The staff checked continually to ensure that we were enjoying our meal and that they could not do anything more to improve it. The atmosphere in the restaurant was one of friendliness and relaxation, just what you want on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I can’t praise this restaurant enough. We are from a Italian family, who are very fussy when eating Italian food anywhere, but home, but this was a close second to my mother’s cooking, and I do not say this lightly. To finish our very pleasant experience in this restaurant, we were given a complimentary ‘Amaretto’ liquor to finish. We will certainly return to this restaurant soon.

I was a little disappointed by the overall experience. The starter took quite a while to come out, fair enough it was clearly freshly made on the spot. The rice balls lacked flavour, the rice inside was just plain flavourless rice, thank god for the tomato sauce it came with it. And the calamari rings were so tiny that the £9 price tag did not seem appropriate. In all fairness the mains did live up to the expectations, very delicious! The staff were pretty young and I felt like they just started. They probably were new, but we were sat with our empty plates for ages. We really wanted to have dessert however we had somewhere else to be, if the service was a bit faster, we could have definitely squeezed in a dessert too.
