The location is great and the view over the Royal Albert docks is also incredible but the overall experience was a little strange.

It is possible that this is simply the restaurant’s policy, but given how much is self service, it is hard for people with small children or reduced mobility to get what they need quickly.

The food and portions are good but would recommend that the management also implements something slightly more family friendly so that it is open to all.

Sunday night in Edinburgh after 2300 and I was all ready to resign myself to a kebab and nothing else but Google’s ‘Open Now’ function allowed me to find this great Italian eatery and eat a fantastic meal even though it was past midnight.

Two friendly ladies served all of the patrons that night and the entire menu was available, which was useful as I had not eaten since lunchtime.

It was slightly weird when I was asked to leave - it was around 0200 and the restaurant is open until 0500 - but it was not done badly.

I eat here fairly regularly and the two gentlemen running the restaurant are good at what they do, meaning you can score some tasty Turkish snacks and wraps at very reasonable prices.

The only downside is that things can be a bit slow at busy times and they close comparatively early (when not in Covid restrictions).
