Little Capo

One of the best and warmly received restaurants I’ve ever been to. Booked weeks in advance for my husband’s 30th birthday and so glad I did, they didn’t fail to make it special with complimentary champs 🥂 and were very attentive. We had a late booking 21:15 and I was concerned as it says it shuts at 21:30 but we stayed beyond 11pm (the last to leave!) as it was so welcoming and we were having a good chat with the staff. I LOVED the fact that they write down their recommendations for the area, too! We sat up at the bar after our delicious food and got chatting to the bartender and he made us a drink off the menu as per our request - very talented and evidently passionate about what he does - a rarity these days! Big shoutout to Ellen, Jordie(?) and the lovely bartender who’s name I didn’t get - people like this make a restaurant what it is!

Had a lovely lunch for my mums birthday, the calamari and focaccia was amazing, the ciopino was very fresh, and the sausage pasta was also good. The service was really amazing, our waiter was so lovely! We were sadly too full for dessert, so our waiter brought a dessert spoon of the tiramisu for us which was so thoughtful.

I don’t usually leave reviews. But this was the most incredible meal, so I had to. Everything we got was immaculate - we got the burrata, the seafood soup, king oyster mushroom, the ragu, and charred cabbage. We didn’t know cabbage could be so flavorful. But the real highlight of this restaurant was the staff. Service was beyond stellar, all of the staff were so attentive, hospitable, and gracious. I accidentally forgot to mention no pistachios when ordering the burrata, and one of the staff overheard and very kindly immediately made us a new one, despite how this was my fault. They noticed we were trying to cut the cabbage with our forks and gave us a knife without us asking. This is the kind of place that anticipates your needs and goes above and beyond. 10/10 in food, ambiance, and service. I have no notes. Everyone needs to try this place at least once.

We absolutely LOVED Little Capo! The quality of the food was really good and they had a broad variety of cocktails. The staff was kind and helpful. We had the best night!

Had heard good things about here, would say booking advised. A lovely wee place with chilled music. We sat at the bar a tight squeeze but not important. The staff give great service welcoming and knowledgeable we spoke with a guy from Sydney originally, explained options available and recommendations. The calamari was cooked perfectly light with a rich dressing on the side .do feel needed a bit more seasoning but still tasty. My favourite was the steak cooked perfectly seasoned really well with a rocket and parmigiano salad. We have greens and potatoes on the side. Always difficult to find a perfectly cooked steak in Edinburgh but here is finally we found it! Try a cheeky cocktail a great selection. gem of a place and can't wait to take family to try, lovee the italain twist which I know my italian family will like as not many in Edinburgh can do authentic tastes..

Went for lunch this afternoon and was honestly amazed. The service was absolutely incredible - I have never received service like it. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was pure vibes. We were also genuinely shocked at how inexpensive it was for how amazing it was. Most places would charge you through the nose. For reference: Starter - Olives & Focaccia to share Main - Steak x2 Side - Crispy Potato to share Dessert - Tiramisu and seasonal special Total - £74.25 with service charge (£66) without 10/10 - would recommend (p.s. make sure you get some tiramisu at the end - it’s unreal)

Gorgeous place for a date night or with a group of friends. I would say it's definitely more of an adult scene and wouldn't take my children. The ragu and tiramisu are the best I've ever had, the focaccia bread and olives are a perfect addition and I also enjoyed a margarita which was just the way I like it. It's booked out quickly as it's the trendy place to be, so make sure you book as soon as the slots open up.

Went as a second dinner, so unfortunately didn't have the appetite to experiment more dishes. The burrata was to die for--most interesting explosion of flavors and textures in a single bite: a bit smoky, spicy and sweet from the burrata, fig, and pistachios. The zucchini fries are usually straightforward, but especially enjoyed the distinct crunch. Also ordered a version of their old fashioned and espresso martini, which were the least exciting part of this culinary experience. The wait is extremely long (close to two hours on a weekday evening) if you make the mistake of walking in like we did. But it was worth the wait. The host helped to accommodate by bringing us our drinks outside, and he did his best to squeeze us in at the bar.
