  “Literally best sandwich I think I’ve ever had. Got the Sneaki sandwich and it was incredible. Staff is extremely friendly. I was almost sceptical when I saw how many 5 star reviews but it’s so obvious why after going”

  “I tried the Bresaola sandwich but with black pepper cured beef. As a Muslim, halal options are quite limited, so I decided to give it a try. It was my first time trying cured beef, and it wasn’t really to my taste, but the sandwich was nice overall. The outdoor seating area is lovely. Also the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.”

  “I visited Croccante & Co today for the first time, and it definitely won’t be my last! The schiacciata was incredibly fresh, and all of the ingredients tasted high quality and full of flavour. I also loved that they have great options for both vegetarians and vegans. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I asked if they could add mozzarella to my vegan schiacciata, and they were more than happy to do so. They kindly didn’t charge me for the extra mozzarella, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Thank you for such a lovely experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

  “Beautiful, authentic and fresh hot sandwiches. Can see through the counter that high quality ingredients are being used and that this independent business is passionate about providing their customers with it. Look at that thin crispy bread and cheese pull! Such a shame this is the only location :(”

  “Hands down the best sandwich I have ever tasted. This place was absolutely hopping the day we went but well worth the wait. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we wanted to eat here every day of our trip. Make this place a must on your trip!”

  “My husband and I stopped by Croccante & Co. and had a wonderful experience. The bread was truly exceptional, perfectly crisp and incredibly tasty. The filling in our sandwich was absolutely perfect. We decided to share one, and it was more than enough for the two of us. To top it off, the coffee was great. Highly recommended if you are looking for a delicious, satisfying bite!”

  “I went to this family run business on my birthday for lunch. I can’t recall who gave me the recommendation but oh boy I am glad they did. Also, 5 stars on Google with over 500 reviews is almost unheard of. The little shop was busy but we were fortunate enough to get a table. Upon entering I felt like I was transported to Italy with its authentic and causal feel. Despite the busyness the staff were singing and clearly enjoying themselves. One of the owners came and chatted to us and gave us a little history of the business. We learnt that many of the ingredients get imported in from Italy to ensure quality and proper authenticity. They have a menu board with all their sandwiches using Tuscan Schiacciata bread. Something I have never had before but very keen to try. Each schiacciata is made fresh and they were able to cater for my slightly fussy wife by adjusting the fillings to satisfy her preferences. I went with the special which was recommended by one of the ladies. It was called Sapori Di Mare. Which was a schiacciata filled with anchovy, stracciatella, lemon, tomatoes and greens. The sandwich was wonderful! The flavours worked well together but the star of the show was the bread. Quite possibly the best bread I’ve ever had. It was thinner than focaccia and certainly lighter. It was incredibly crispy but with a soft centre. It wasn’t too doughy and stodgy which focaccia can sometimes be bad for. It didn’t miss on taste either with an almost fruity flavour with hints of pepper and not overpowering of salt. Just right. It is a perfect carriage for sandwich. I don’t dislike anchovies but it’s not my favourite filling so next time I will try one of their classics. After some reflection with my wife she confirms that her schiacciata was the best sandwich she has ever had. As for me…it’s certainly up there. Probably my no1 if I had chosen a favourite filling. Just gives me a reason to come back. We also got a hot chocolate each and this was surprisingly delicious too. It tasted like real proper hot chocolate with top quality cacao. It was rich, a perfect amount of bitterness to balance out the sweetness. The texture was velvety. As you would expect, the price is not quite your Tesco meal deal but I have absolutely no gripes paying for something this good! I 10000% need to come back here.”

  “The Schiacciate were absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I ordered the Rimini & my wife ordered the Napoli, and we split them both. So filling, and a perfect place to duck in to get out of the brief rain shower. The staff was great, and we would HIGHLY recommend it!”

  “Absolutely amazing sandwiches sold here! They are huge and packed with delicious fresh ingredients. I went for the tropea, and It had delicious calabrese salami and soft cheese inside of it. The nduja inside had a good kick to it with the caramelised onion providing a bit of sweetness. All of the sandwiches looked delicious. It had a real authentic feel to the shop, with fresh produce for sale in the fridges as well. It's a small shop with not much seating inside, but there's seats outside. The Italian sandwiches here one of the best I've had around the world. Definitely come here if you're in Edinburgh!”

  “Wow! The sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Schiacciata isn’t the same as classic focaccia — it’s thinner and crispier on the outside, which also makes it feel lighter. Just go and try it! I ordered the Bologna, a cold sandwich. You could really taste the high-quality ingredients — it was excellent and I would definitely order it again. We also tried the Napoli, a warm sandwich with lots of stretchy, melted cheese. We liked the Bologna a bit more, but honestly the sandwiches were so good that I’d love to try every option on the menu. We didn’t order any drinks, but the coffees the ladies were preparing looked very tempting. The atmosphere in the place was really pleasant — the staff were smiling and the Italian music added a nice touch to the vibe. I definitely recommend it! 🇮🇹”
