- KKevinManchester/Greater Manchester •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoShort wait on arrival even though we had booked a table. Service was very good - menus provided and drinks order taken promptly and efficiently. Ample time was given to peruse the menu. We all decided to have pizza for our main course and it was delicious. Would definitely like to try other dishes as they all looked excellent. Desserts were also very good. A thoroughly enjoyable meal.More infoMamma Roma RistorantePrice: Moderate• Italian• Leith Walk•4.7
- AAdrianNottingham/Nottinghamshire •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFantastic food, fantastic service in a a great settting! What a lovely experience we had. Greeted at the door , by name (always a good start) and shown to our table. We chose Cullen Skink and Three Way Salmon to start followed by Haggis and Scottish Steak Pie. My fiancée had Cranachan for desert. A lovely bottle of Malbec to accompany the food. The steak pie was actually the best pie I have ever had, beef so succulent. The Talisker infused Salmon was lovely too. The presentation of all courses was very impressive. We were looked after by Lee & Stacey. Their service was second to none, just right, not intrusive, but personal, yet still very professional. I can honestly say that we would have been hard pushed to have experienced better dining in Edinburgh. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whiski Rooms, for that special meal, that I am sure you will remember for a long time. Well done to the front and back of house team.More infoWhiski RoomsPrice: Moderate• Scottish• Old Town•4.6
