On our 2nd visit for 1 of our party of 3 today we enjoyed a very nice meal. After originally asking for a table at 8pm we were asked if we could make it 7.45pm as a lot of people had booked earlier than us, fair enough we accepted. We had a lovely meal and 1 of our group of... More

Make the effort to go here (it is only 20 minutes on the number 10 bus from Waverley). Great food, great atmosphere, away from all the overpriced tourist traps, and the owner really cares about service. I am an Edinburgh resident and I would say this is one of the best Italian resteraunts in the city. More

This is an excellent family run restaurant with a friendly welcome and really nice Italian food. It is situated in Colinton and is well worth a visit. We always take our child with us when we eat out and we are made to feel very comfortable in this relaxed restaurant. They don't have a specialised kids' menu, but there's plenty... More

This place may be a bit out of the way for a visitor to Edinburgh, but it is worth the short taxi ride. I liked the tasteful decoration, the attentive and friendly service and the very well prepared food - lovingly presented . The atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed in this family run restaurant. The menu goes well beyond pasta... More

We visited Dantes, three adults and three children (aged 4, 6 and 6). All the meals were delicious, everyone ate all ... even the kids. We sat in a private booth in the back, and had no concerns that our kids might disrupt other diners. The place was packed (Saturday night) but we booked our table only the day before... More

My wife, the kids and I visited Dantes for the first time in over six months today. We were reminded that, for a local Italian on our doorstep, Dantes has everything we could wish for. The staff couldn't be more welcoming, the menu is a good mix of pizza/pasta and more specialist Italian dishes, and the food we had was... More

Went here with my boyfriend and my family for a birthday meal out after passing the restaurant- thought it looked lovely and decided to try it out. Very glad we did! The reviews on here are pretty much excellent and I have to agree. To be perfectly honest the food wasnt the best I've ever had but it was still... More

Have to say I use trip advisor a lot and I realise everybody is entitled to their opinion but the frankly ridiculous review posted by another so called reviewer recently has just made me angry! My family live locally and have been going to this restaurant for years. We have never ever experienced anything other than delicious, freshly made good... More
