It's interesting to read the variety of opinions about this place.  I've been here once, and I don't remember having a particularly strong opinion on it either way.  Nonetheless, it is worthy of a review.\n\nThe restaurant itself is situated on the bustling Royal Mile, which at this time of year (summer) is full of tourists, though mercifully not as busy as when the Festival is on.  It enjoys a prime location on a street that is devoid of many restaurants, instead being full of gift shops for the tourists.\n\nI personally didn't find the food to be too memorable, but then if I want an Italian meal, I will tend to default to Pizza Express.  I do, however, remember enjoying a nice sorbet for dessert, which was very tasty.  My other lasting memory is of someone cheering when a glass was dropped on the floor, but this is something that happens everywhere of course!\n\nIt's a small restaurant inside, and it does feel a little dated in the decor.  On the whole, the experience was a good one, but I tend to feel that I would go for a chain restaurant in preference.
