Al Dente - Piatti

in edinburgh for a long weekend. we were in an apartment quite central and found al dente directly on the road. we enjoyed our food and wee very much. a good value for money.

Al Dente serves up unpretentious, honest cooking at excellent prices. The staff clearly put a great deal of pride into their work and that shines through in the food and the service. It won’t be long before we visit again. Bellisimo!

sir grazziano is one of the best hostesses in the world. very friendly and cultural. loved all the dishes from the entrance into the desert. the prices are very reasonable due to the quality. left the place with a full mag plus and a happy spirit. nothing can go wrong with al dente 10/5 stars Visualizza piatti

we were three times too al dente, our local italian, and enjoyed every visit. the food was really delicious every time, and I would like to recommend the orchid pasta dish, the risotto and the white chocolate-winnerole. graziano the owner is really friendly and is always striving to get feedback to the feeds, was always positiw! there are also monthly themed evenings when the menu includes dressed from different Italian region each time. we were not yet in a themed night, but look forward to an attempt.

It was a quiet Monday night as we rolled up to Al Dente on Easter Road, a tiny Italian restaurant that sits unassumingly half-way down Easter Road. You’re instantly drawn to the Ospitalia Italiana gold award proudly stamped into its façade; in my experience, these less glamourous eateries always turn out to be a winner. There’s an open kitchen, and chef/owner Graziano is gabbing away in his native tongue to a friend. On entering, he is swiftly out to greet us, alongside our waitress for the evening. The Italian excitedly takes us through today’s specials and retreats back behind the stove. My starter tonight is warm-baked Apulian potato tart with cured meat and mozzarella...read more

In the centre of Edinburgh you’ll find Italian restaurants all over the place. They’ll serve you what you’d expect: pizza, pasta and cheesy delights. I’m not a fan of this type of restaurant. Firstly, a lot of the food is lazy and uninteresting, and secondly, I can make a lot of it at home. Luckily, there are Italian restaurants that stand out. Al Dente, on Easter Road, is one such restaurant. Al Dente has been hit listed by the List’s Eating and Drinking Guide several years, recently won a Best Italian Restaurant Award and has a dedicated following both locally and further afield. I’d heard a lot of good about it before I visited for the first time and am delighted to say...read more Visualizza piatti

would rate a 10/5 if I could! this place is amazing! I went with a few friends on holiday! there is a very domestic feeling, and they can say it is very authentic! the couple that ran the place were the only ones that were next to us when we went, but they did not encourage us or about our table waiting to order or finish us! I have to mention how amazing it was to eat! we ordered to start the roasted red pfeffer and goat cheese bruschetta, and all gobbed it down in 5 minutes! it was incredible! for dinner we ordered a bottle chianti, with the risotto with garnelen, and orichette with broccoli and speck! we have cleaned all our tellers! the best risotto I ever had! at the end they gave us......
