Outstanding food, sandwiches are amazing. Fresh, high quality ingredients at a reasonable price. The coffee is really good too. Usually I order a latte and more often than not I like to add sugar. Not here though. The latte quality need not be tainted by extra sugar here! If I had one word to describe the coffee here, it’d be ‘smooth’. It goes down a treat. Do yourself a favour and give this place a try. You won’t regret it!

@deerartem #JacobDeerCooking The results of testing #JacobDeerCooking vs @polentoni_ I both two focaccia’s one with beetroot, goat cheese and roasted pepper, the second with spinach, eggs, mushrooms and truffle oil. Also I get one pistachio bundt. Focaccias cost each 3.50, pistachios Bundt 1.50. All were quite ok. I wouldn’t call that “focaccia” as the dough is quite dense, but little bit crispy outside. So, the dough is something between pizza dough (dense) and focaccia (more bobbly inside and crispy outside). I cannot taste truffle at all in the spinach focaccia, eggs are nicely done and good quality. Beetroot need some more spices as is quite bland, the goat cheese is a decent quality. Better quality olive oil would be a good idea too. The pistachio Bundt, tasty, but you can’t really tasty pistachios itself as the Bundt is super sweet. However, you can see that they put inside a lot of grated pistachios. Overall, fine food for that price and they need to improve only a little bit to amazing. If you have some time give them a chance and check how you like their food. Regards Jake @deerartem #jacobdeercooking
This is a really unique place in Edinburgh with real authentic Italian dishes! The kitchen menu has dishes that you can't find anywhere else, the sandwiches are somehow simple but amazing and they really make me feel like I'm home in Italy. Sometimes they do special menus like the seafood feast and that's always well done. Really recommend this place
A year of covid restrictions and this place has shown if you sell quality you will survive and possibly thrive. The bread supplied way better than many purpose fitted 'bakers'. Combination of focaccia, always good. Soups can be a wee bit different. Never bad. Not his forte. I think. This the thing. You get picky in that place. You always expect 100% good matching Italian flavours. Always worth the queuing.
I am giving 5 stars because I cannot give 10! This place sure it's tiny and you may have to queue for a bit, but God their food is heavenly! I have been today for a late lunch with my partner and we both had the gnocchi with fennel sausage sauce. I was almost moved to tears because the flavors of the sauce remembered the one my old grandma used to prepare for the family on Sunday lunches. Please help me spread the word about this place because such wonderful businesses deserve to have a huge success!
Maybe the best Italian food you’ll find in Edinburgh. Epic sandwiches and savories. Dark chocolate cake to die for. Heavenly lemon polenta cake and amazing hot chocolates to keep us cheery during lockdown. Proper treats and lovely, lovely owners.
Food is always unreal. Especially the gorgonzola and polenta fritter and the focaccia with potato.
The seafood pasta is too salty and a bit pricy. The rest menu is great.
