La Piazza

I can pretty much fall out of work and into La Piazza so it seemed the perfect choice for our works Christmas dinner. I had 30 people to feed before we headed off for a night at the panto!
The staff had been very helpful with booking the large group, all they asked was to send the food orders ahead of time. Not a problem.
We arrived and they showed us to our table. They had split the table into two with one around the corner from the other. It was a bit disappointing to be split up but I suppose it was a large group to accommodate.
The food came out quickly and everyone got what they ordered. Great! The food itself is very nice, I went for the mushroom risotto. It was a good portion and very tasty! There menu is full of Italian classics at our £9 for a main so it is very reasonable.
Everyone was happily fed and watered and we carried on our evening at the panto. A great restaurant if you fancy some good hearty Italian food.
Cheers! Amy

Wandering around Edinburgh all day, my parents and I were hungry for some pizza. We were staying near Princes Street, so I was happy to see a well-​reviewed place that served pizza right nearby! We showed up at an off time (like 2:30 on a Monday) but La Piazza was still open for business. The waiter we had was super friendly and welcoming also!
Now, I am from New York City so I am a bit of a pizza snob, and this was my first slice of pizza in Edinburgh so I didn’t know what to expect! Well, I was pleasantly surprised! We each ordered a rocket salad, which was yummy, and two pizzas to split between the three of us which was the perfect amount of food. We all really enjoyed the Piccante pizza which had peppers, pepperoni, and chili on it. The chili was a great addition, as in the US we are not used to having that as a topping. We also ordered the margarita pizza, which while good, was really just a cheese pizza with a sprig of basil on it and not a margarita pizza.
Anyway, I will definitely return to this place if I am in the area, it is perfect for one of my favorite go-​to meals of salad and pizza with beer, and if no one is there to share the pizza with me I will just box the other half to go (or probably eat it all myself).

La Piazza is an amazing restaurant near Princes Street which serves delicious food and drink and has hilarious staff. I came here with parents which was a relief because it is pretty pricey. It’s definitely worth it though as all their food tastes incredible and is served in filling portions.
I opted for the polenta starter which had tasty Italian sausage and a spicy chilli sauce. I then had the tuna and tomato pasta which was probably one of the tastiest mains I’ve ever had. The main courses are all actually pretty well priced, but the most of the starters cost around £6−7.
One of the waiters had me howling with laughter at just about every course! He was cracking jokes about everything, and some of them were pretty risqué but it livened up the whole evening. I’d definitely come here again any day and I recommend anyone to try it out.

This was a pretty good Italian spot near where we were staying on New Town in Edinburgh. I ordered one their pizzas and my wife got the pasta with mussels. Food was fresh and service was friendly. I ended up only eating ²⁄₃ of my pizza so the leftovers made for a nice breakfast the next morning.
