After finding the Russian embassy round the corner closed for getting Visas, we thought our trip to Edinburgh was a waste of time. We drove round the corner, found a parking space outside Asti. Feeling hungry we went in for a lunch or snack. Must have been meant to be. The welcome was warm and the food excellent. The wine... More

The food and service were excellent. This was our favorite restaurant and we just stumbled on it walking down the street. We would definitely go there again.

We have eaten at Asti on every trip back to my hometown since it opened and are never disappointed. On this occasion we had Sunday Lunch on Mother's Day with my Mum and our two grown-up children. We had requested a table in the back room, which has more of a restaurant feel to it, whereas the front room is... More

I went to have breakfast to Asti Restaurant 2 days ago, and I found exactly what I expected. I went there, recommended by a friend that used to live nearby, and he told me that both the quality and the service were great. That's my same impression. Just come inside and you will find nice and smiley waitresses, fully serviceable.... More

Broughton Street is one of those great little social hub streets in Edinburgh with literally dozens of cafes, bars and coffee shops. Over the years the plot that Asti occupies has taken a number of guises and served many different types of cuisine - as far as I can recall all pretty good. But I'm not here to talk about... More

. .Very disappointed to learn of an unhappy breakfast customer. Asti has been in Broughton Street for just over a year now, and, during this period,we, as a small team have worked hard to serve what we think the public want within our comfortable surroundings. Although the cuisine is essentially Italian, we open all day, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and... More

this is a nice place with a traditional menu - I had lobster ravioli and as my GP has advised me to avoid dairy I quizzed them quite a bit about whether the sauce had dairy in it - they assured me it did not and produced a lovely sauce creamy in colour and creamy to taste yet no dairy... More
