Customer Review Summary

Pizza leads the praise, especially the BBQ pizza, which reviewers call delicious, including a BBQ double chicken version. A pepperoni pizza also gets a mention, as does a gluten-free pepperoni that one diner with an intolerance really enjoyed. Close behind are the carbonara, the lasagna, spaghetti with breaded steak, and a garlic ciabatta singled out as a highlight. Desserts, from brownies to cookies, earn a mention too. Service is the other consistent theme. Servers are described as friendly, welcoming and quick, and food arrives hot and fresh even when the restaurant is busy. One party was offered a seat immediately. Several reviewers thank individual servers, and a few say they would come back when next in Edinburgh. Diners also describe the atmosphere as warm and welcoming. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. One group celebrating a cousin's birthday says staff set up their cake and sang happy birthday to him.

    “Miki was our server. The servers were all really lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious and it wasn’t a long wait , despite the restaurant being busy. Service was quick and friendly. Very ideal place for a dinner if you plan to go to Mary King’s Cross later.”

    “I absolutely loved the experience at Bella Italia on South Bridge in Edinburgh. The service was excellent, and the spaghetti with breaded steak was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good Italian food. I would also like to highlight the outstanding service provided by Marcin, who was extremely polite, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.”

    “One of the most efficient and quick dining experiences I’ve had while still maintaining friendliness. The food tasted very fresh. I had the pomodoro mozzarella and my mother had pizza with salad we shared the garlic ciabatta which was a highlight. Thank you Ramon!”

    “Very busy and crowded restaurant in one of the busiest parts of the Royal Mile but we were offered a seat immediately and service was exemplary. Our waiter was funny and attentive. I forget his name but he is originally from Hungary. I ordered lasagna. All of our food was hot, fresh and fast! Delicious! I would highly recommend!”
