Reviews
What a great place!!! I thought, just because it was in the centre that it's a tourist trap...but it's not!!!!
It's family fun and independent. Staff are ABSOLUTELY. FANTASTIC.
Food is delicious, wine is fantastic and the atmosphere is wonderful
Couldn't rate it higher.....oh wait,I can; there are gluten free options available. Try their gluten free pasta!!
We had a fantastic time at La Locanda, so much so we came back the following evening & were lucky enough to get a table. The food was absolutely delicious, with different specials on both evenings. The knowledgeable & friendly staff went above and beyond to help us & made our time at the restaurant a special one. Cannot recommend highly enough & will definitely be coming back next time we are in Edinburgh! Definitely worth a visit, a fantastic local restaurant yet in the main tourist area & conveniently close for anyone stopping at Motel One.
Really good food and atmosphere, food I ordered was delicious, enough as a meal. The service was also very pleasant. The prices are a bit much for Italian cuisine in my opinion but the quality of food is good enough not to regret :)
OH MY GOD - that’s it. That’s the review.
I got the pappardelle and was blown away. It’s on my list of top pastas now. It was so good.
My husband got the special - gnocchi but thought it needed more flavor, but he still would recommend it.
We split the tiramisu and it was gone in under a minute.
The staff here are so lovely and it’s family owned! I loved it.
Came for dinner and had really lovely meals. We got the gnocchi special and lasagne which were both absolutely delicious! Gnocchi looks small but the bowl is very deep, so was a good portion. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the restaurant was very cosy with a nice atmosphere. Definitely expensive but the food and service were top notch.
Came by on the weekend for a catch up over lunch. I ordered the gluten free tagliatelle with meatballs. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Best pasta I’ve had for a long time. Definitely coming back.
"La Locanda in Edinburgh is a culinary gem! From start to finish, the dining experience here is exceptional. Their starter soup and arancino set the perfect tone for the meal—simply delicious. But the real stars of the show are the Pappardelle and Lasagna; they are a symphony of flavors and cooked to perfection.
What truly sets La Locanda apart, though, is their warm and friendly staff. Their hospitality adds an extra layer of comfort to the entire experience, making you feel truly welcome.
Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, La Locanda is a must-visit. Five stars are well-deserved for their scrumptious dishes and impeccable service. This restaurant is a true treasure in Edinburgh's culinary scene!"
We made the mistake of coming here hungry. Then two of us made the mistake of ordering the gnocchi. They were not bad but no better than what we whip up at home. But mostly the portions are tiny. We added the roasted potatoes because that is the only substantial side dish and still left hungry.
We saw the prices and decided to stay but we will not do so anymore. If you go here to impress somebody with high prices you're in the right spot. If you want to eat because you're hungry, keep going.
