We are an Italian family, with two kids, in Edinburgh for Holiday. We ordered some food for sharing (eggplants, hallumi) and salmon as main dish. Everything was excellent, including the service.

Tourist here. Amazing pizza and really cool and kind staff. The pizza is Neapolitan style, so thin crust pizza about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. If you are a light eater, 1 pizza and an appetizer is enough for 2 people. In the words of our server, "if you are hungry or tall", you should look to order the pizza for just yourself as they are not very big but imo, they are filling. My wife and I ordered two pizzas and had quite a bit left over. We are, however, short and not big eaters. Heh. Great place, highly recommend.
