Mia Italian Kitchen Morningside in Edinburgh

Food and service were both outstanding! We had the minestrone and butternut squash soups, tomato focaccia, and the rigatoni alla norma. All were fresh tasting and clearly homemade. Michael and Samuel (our waiters) were both lovely and attentive and definitely added to our dining experience. They even split the pasta into two bowls for us, as we were sharing, which we really appreciated! The only disappointing part was the desserts (tiramisu and cheesecake), which did not live up to the rest of the meal. Overall, the meal was delicious though and we will definitely be back!

Great friendly and lively local Italian restaurant. I had a wonderful traditional meat lasagne, garlic bread and glass of Merlot.

By far the best Italian place we have eaten in ages! We came across it by accident, driving down the motor way on route to our hotel, both hungry for food searching the internet.When entering the restaurant we were already positively surprised by the rustic, homely atmosphere.For starters, we had garlic bread with mozzarella, olives, antipasto vegetables and bresola & burrata. Every single dish was as flavoursome as the other. High-quality, pure ingredients and great flavours.For main, we had pizzas. I myself had the rucola, Parma ham and Parmesan cheese pizza. My fiance had the Diavola with extra gorgonzola. Yet again high-quality ingredients. The perfect light and fluffy, yet cripsy pizza crust. And the toppings were added with the right balance of flavour.To full to even think about dessert, we asked if it was an option to take the dessert to go for later on the evening. Ten minutes later we had two take away containers with tiramisu with chocolate sauce and fresh fruit on top.Great value for money, wonderful staff, nice atmosphere.The next time that we will visit Edinburgh (from the Netherlands) we will definetly return to Mia Italian Kitchen!

Dined here several years ago and wasn't impressed by the service, as we felt pressured to finish our meal, and the staff clearly wanted home for the evening. It was long before the advertised closing time.We decided to try again in the hope the service had improved. The restaurant was busy, but we got seated at a table by staff. After taking our seat, we were informed the table was only available for an hour. We decided to stay, which I wish we hadn't. The food was delivered very quickly, which suggests it is not cooked to order. The starters were ok, but main courses were not great. The dishes were hastily cleared, and we were offered dessert. We ordered coffee, which was delivered lukewarm. We were then told to drink up as the table was needed.If you are after a traditional Italian, with friendly service and good food, look elsewhere!!

Lovely place to eat. Was extremely busy when we went and had to wait about 15 minutes for our reservation, but the staff were excellent and made sure we got dessert on the house for the inconvenience. The food was delicious and reasonably priced too. Was surprising spacious inside and a nice atmosphere in general. Definitely recommend.

Could not recommend Mia Morningside enough! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish we had was mouthwatering. The staff were wonderful and so accommodating to us with our 6 month old daughter. Our server Anna was fantastic, very attentive and really made the whole experience so enjoyable. Can't wait to go back!

We visited on Saturday night (05/02/22) as a group of 6 adults and 2 children. The kids portion sizes were incredible, our food was fantastic and the staff were all excellent and super friendly - to the point they were celebrating the rugby score along with us ;-)The standout was the banana cheesecake. It was the nicest cheesecake I have ever had in my life. Even after you're full from the main course give this a try as it's incredibly light. I urge everyone to ask what the flavour is and if it's banana, bite their hand off for a slice!Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. You're made to feel welcome the second you step inside and we all left with smiles on our faces and full stomaches. The final bill price surprised me as well. Incredible value for money.

We went here for my birthday lunch and it was just perfect :) Staff were kind and nice. Thank you for having us such a great moment!! Grazie 😄

Love this place! The restaurant is warm and comfortable with great staff that are very friendly and welcoming.The food was very delightful! The chef clearly pays attention to traditional Italian food. The quality shows in the ingredients. I can highly recommend the Cozze Mussels with capers and toasted bread. The sauce was beautifully seasoned and well balanced.The seafood ravioli was superb. Couldn’t fault it. Loved the garlic, chilli and white wine sauce. Perfectly balanced.The seabass was beautiful, delicate and cooked perfectly, served with a side of lovely seasonal oven roasted veg. The plate sizes are decent too so you won’t go hungry.Overall the food and drinks menu is very reasonably priced. The place was buzzing with energy and happy faces. It’s a new favourite for us. We had such a great night, and can’t wait till will return.

A great local Italian restaurant! Pizza, pasta, fish, beef and chicken, yes please. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are very kind, joyful and professional. Perhaps this is a common feature of Italian restaurants but I'm giving 4 stars because at peak times it gets so loud and noisy. We could barely hear each other. Otherwise, the food is delicious and perfect for a nice evening out.
