Al borgo in Edinburgh

Walked in without booking to test my luck. Asked for table for 2. The lady greeting us said: “I am not sure, let me check, 2 secs.” Then we were left standing at the door for 10 minutes. We could see the lady and other waitresses chitchatting with other customers, laughing happily, and no-one seemed to have the bare minimum interest of giving us any attention, and they clearly knew we were waiting. Fine, we did not need the answer and just left.It is totally understandable that there can be no walk-in table on a Friday evening, but what makes you choose to ignore people rather than just tell them?

Good little restaurant, food is excellent and great value for the standard. Staff are super friendly and can't do enough. Limited tables, so always book in advance to avoid disappointment. Will 100% visit again when in the area.

Food was excellent and very generous serving accompanied with good selection of wine to go with. And the owners were delightful people…

Lovely meal tonight with Sarah and Isla.Excellent service and enjoyable evening at Al Borgo

We had a party of 28.service was excellent and friendly food was excellent thank you all at Alborgo

Fab as ever. We no longer live in the area, but as we were back for a visit, a meal at Alborgo was very important for us. Amazingly friendly staff as always, food excellent, just can't fault it. Will always return when we're in the area, and know many friends who are glad to have it open again. Well done to all the staff.

We found this restaurant by chance and what a find! The food was great especially the chicken with a spicy tomato sauce. With great service and friendly staff, we had a really lovely evening.

From atmosphere to the plate, you can sense perfection. Very well run family business. Menu is remarkable and very wide in Italian quisine.Definitely a 5 stars from me

I highly recommend this Italian restaurant mixing traditional Italian food with Scottish recipes. I enjoyed their starter mixing goat cheese and salmon and their chicken breast with gorgonzola sauce. Very friendly staff too.

Family run restaurant, the owner is very mindful of dietary requirements as she has allergies herself. So I was even offered a choice of gluten-free pastas! How good is that? My husband was delighted with the novel Italian non alcoholic beer.
