Pizza · Edinburgh
Handy to know when the queue at the Italian round the corner is out the door — this one fills up as the evening goes on, but the welcome is quick and genuinely warm, and the staff are attentive without hovering. The Neapolitan bases come out crisp-edged and chewy with proper charring, and portions stretch: starters like olives, bruschetta and salt-and-pepper squid plus one pizza and truffle fries fed two comfortably. The Tartufina Suprema with truffle, ham and rocket gets the loudest praise; the Margherita is the safe bet for children, alongside a kids' menu and high chairs. Buggy access is fine, and lunchtimes are notably quieter if you want space. Worth knowing the booth seats sit high — shorter legs won't reach the floor. Takeaway is an option too, with decent online offers, and one visit ended with free dips simply because someone forgot to ask.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
