The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!
The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Lots of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options marked in the menu. There were 4 people waiting for tables when we arrived, and we still were seated in 5mins. Pizza and salad combo makes a perfect light meal. Salad was as basic as it gets, but fine. Pizza was better than I expected - thin crust, well dressed.
Used Vittoria many times over the years in both locations. Enjoyed it every time but sadly today was well below previous standards.
We asked about gluten free for the starters as there was gluten free bread available and a quite a few of the starters were something with garlic bread so could they swap it. Told no the chef would t cut a slice just for that. Really poor standard. Why offer pizza and pasta gluten free mains but do nothing for starters and also dessert. You’ll find it’s either sorbet or gelato.
Meatball starter I was excited for but instead of the one large Polpette you used to get it was four small very average meatballs.
One main course was good the seafood tagliatelle is recommend that, the rucola salad side was a bit tiny for the price.
The other main course chicken and spinach risotto was another very average dish. This was a go to in the past and was much better on previous visits.
The raspberry sorbet dessert was nice after we had to remind them it was to come with a berry compote which they corrected to be fair.
Overall sadly very average for what used to be a highlight for Edinburgh.
Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.
This meal was soooo delicious! I had the traditional haggis, with neeps and tatties, adapted for gluten and dairy free. The staff was very knowledgeable in allergens and it was easy to order. The haggis was absolutely delicious. I had the whisky and mustard sauce, which added a different flavors to it. It was also delicious without the sauce. I would definitely come back again next time I'm in Edinburgh!
We came here as part of a hen do and it was absolutely fantastic. The service was really great and they were really good at considering dietary requirements and there were great gluten free options. The food was delicious. We had tapas and a paella which we shared between us all and it was delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!
Yummy lentil and lime soup. Vegan and gluten free! Took it to go since they were about to close and found a spot up the street to enjoy, Middle Meadow Walk.
Went with my mum and aunt, mum is coeliac. Both rated their food 10/10 (and are usually a little fussy). My burger was great, chips fluffy and generous portions. Beef burger slightly pink and tender, gluten free fish and chips crumbed batter lovely and crisp. Service very friendly and warm.
What a great place!!!!!! Admittedly I prejudged the place as it looked too "chainy" and didn't think it'd be good. Thanks to a work lunch I've been introduced to this place, and it's great!!!
There are loads of options and filling combinations available -which are REALLY delicious!
I look forward to going back and trying need things.
You basically select a main, add a filling (or two) and then lots of different toppings!
Even better; there are gluten free options available; rice bowl and nachos
Staff were absolutely lovely, down to earth, friendly and helpful
Freshmex started out in Aberdeen and this is their next branch, great to see!
I'm a new fan now and look forward to my next visit
Price wise I think it's good; ~£12 for nachos and a drink.
We were guided by the reviews that gave it as a gluten-free location. And I must say that the whole family took advantage of it. Not only did we find several gluten-free dishes, but also the appetizers and soups were excellent. Especially on days when it often rains and the wind is felt, a nice hot cup is always nice. We enjoyed the Tuscan with tomato juice. We Italians appreciated it too. Giant salads and friendly staff. In fact, we returned for an aperitif the next morning. If you are in the Victoria Street area during lunch time, we recommend it.
Went in today on a rare trip into Edinburgh & it started pouring down five mins away so we entered soggy & I now know this dress goes see-through in the rain!
We got there a few mins before the end of breakfast service so ordered drinks and waited for the lunch time to start (there was some confusion on both our side and the server about the food ordering and when we asked another server he explained then saw to us personally even though it was Natalia’s section. I would like to reiterate we were not complaining about Natalia’s service it was just cross wires)
I ordered the vegan burger (beetroot and bean on the menu but they’d ran out and replaced with with a soy burger which they informed me of before ordering) The vegan burger is cooked in the same fryer as the chips so gluten free vegans need to look elsewhere on the menu.
Hub had peperoni pizza and ordered extra fries which I managed to help him eat. I know - such a chore 😎
The gent who helped us explained there was a bit of a wait for food because whenever it rains everyone rushes in at once and whilst it good for them the kitchen can get backed up. It was about another 10-15 mins before we could order but then the food came out in normal time afterwards.
They automatically add a 12.5% tip which they say is discretionary but the service was fab, they both did two check backs on us and for as busy as it was we didn’t feel neglected or ignored.
This review is more of a warning than a review. I tried to eat here but they turned me away for having celiac even though they have a gluten free menu. Do not recommend for someone with celiac or a gluten allergy.
Nice little no frills restaurant to grab breakfast at in the Edinburgh area. The staff was really nice and the food and coffee were decent.
The price is also very reasonable for the area and had some gluten free breakfast options.
