The experience reminds me of a traditional Italian trattoria in a city neighbourhood. There was a good mix of regulars and city visitors which added to the cosy ambience. The furnishings and decor were a good blend of traditional and contemporary with subtle lighting. The staff were professional, welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and wine. The value for money on the set lunch menu was astonishing. The food was traditional, with a good choice and quality and well cooked and presented.

Pizza Posto is absolutely delicious! We know pizza and this at the top. Is isn't just the pizza that is wonderful, but the entire menu. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. We liked it so much we went twice in our short stay. The service is friendly and attentive. If I lived in Edinburgh I would be there weekly.

A family dinner to celebrate a birthday. The visit to Mia could not have gone better. Everything was great and we had a lovely time. Most of us don’t live in Edinburgh so are not able to eat here often but it is always worth the trip!
