Martone - Carta

Great little Italian place close by St Andres Square. Excellent food and the service was on point! The pizza was amazing! The desserts are sooo good!

I can only comment on the dessert, but it was amazing. I ordered the After Eight, which included vanilla and mint chocolate chip ice creams with crème de menthe, mint crunch, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream on top. The dessert was delicious. The restaurant was busy when we arrived around 10 pm, probably because of desserts like this one.

This café/restaurant/dessert spot is fantastic. I enjoyed a scoop of Dutch chocolate and Madagascar vanilla ice cream - it was delicious and I didn't leave a single bite behind. My partner had a brownie dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which was also amazing. The seating is ample and it's a great spot for a sweet treat in the afternoon. Ver carta

Passed by here on a Saturday evening and it was packed...thought it might be a chain or just convenient to hotels. But it's a great restaurant. Fresh spring greens, tomatoes, cucumber red onion for a side salad. The campagnola pizza was delicious and the waitstaff brought the hot chili peppers oil to spice it up. Perfectly done pizza! Topped it off with tiramisu and my guy had a banana split. What works of art and a side of fruit too : Although we did not take any to go pastries we will grab some soon!

FOOD Came during a non-busy time. Food was nice. Portions were a good size, enough to fill you up. Wait time for food was not bad. A lot of people were coming in for just the gelato, I didn't try. VIBE Being right next to a hotel and a short distance to Calton Hill, I worried it was going to be very tourist targeted with not so great food. Instead, it did feel very cozy and family-run with good quality food. Very relaxed and casual, especially the staff. STAFF Friendly but lazy. Despite it being a non-busy time, it was consistently hard to get any servers' attention.

After the gym I needed a pick me up so I went here for a smoothie. The review is pretty much just for the smoothie since that's the only thing I had, but will certainly come back and try their Italian food next time. The smoothie was made fresh and was a mix of pineapple, mango and other fruits. It's kind of weird getting a smoothie from an Italian place but it's a cafe as well so I figured it's fine... Ha! The smoothie was tangy, not to sweet and not too thick. Sometimes there's too much pulp or too thick but this was a bit more on the liquidy side. I'd come back here for another smoothie! Ver carta

So we came by here after a nice early morning climb up Calton Hill and we were in need of some breakfast. We were seated immediately but I was not impressed by the table we had as it was dirty, appeared not to have been cleaned properly as there were still crumbs on it. We were given menus but it was a good 20minutes before the waitress came up to serve us and I was pretty frustrated and ready to leave and find something else at that point. Waitress noticed the dirty table and cleaned it as she brought out breakfast stuff out. The breakfast itself, was fine I suppose but service left a lot to be desired.

I came across this restaurant after a leisurely shopping trip at St James Center and was pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere. I decided to try something out of my comfort zone and ordered the Haggis Ravioli, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The traditional whiskey cream sauce complemented the dish perfectly. The pizza pasta was also amazing, but the real highlight was the dessert. The Torta di Mele, Panna Cota, and Tiramisu were all incredibly delicious and have set the bar high for future desserts. I will continue to search until I find something that can compare to the amazing taste and textures I experienced at...

We stopped here back in June 2019, but our memories lingered on like it was yesterday! This place was right around the corner, maybe a block 's away from our hotel, we decided to stop here for dinner. For dinner we have shared the Minestrone Toscano Soup handmade with beans, vegetables barley. I had the Filet of Sea Bass, pan fried with lemon white wine sauce, served with potatoes vegetables. Hubby had Filet steak strip on a wrap, with tomatoes red onions wholegrain mustard. Again, we each had half half, and they were excellent!
