Centotre, 103 George Street, EH2 3ES, Edinburgh
Excellent Italian food in a grand old banking hall on George Street. And very well priced with most of the mains between £10 and £15. Helpings are generous - perhaps even too large. I was really hungry and struggled to finish my starter (Bruschette) and main (Contadino - mushroomy pasta dish - very good).

Decent food and service but at a price. I ate in Centotre following a gushing review by a colleague at work and was a little disappointed by both the food and the rather excessive cost (£150 for three!).
We all had 'normal' Italian starters, bruschetta and the like and then one chicken, one steak and (me) one liver (liver is a cheap cut of meat and should not cost £17.95). I and my co-diners all enjoyed our mains and the wine that we had chosen but were less happy about the desserts, this may have been down to the descriptions rather than the puddings themselves but I don't think any of us finished them. The dining room occupies a beautiful space and is furnished in an appealing minimalist style but suffers a little from echoes as there are no soft furnishings to absorb the sound; this refectory atmosphere is all well and good but not what one expects at this end of the price range.
I may well go back but must remember to take my credit card!

It's a bit echoey isn't it, couldn't hear myself think. Why can't these places have carpets?
Lovely cheese scone though.

Expensive but good food. I agree with pafc, the dining room is beautiful but with the hard surfaces a bit loud. If I wanted Italian, I'd go to Papilio in Bruntsfield for quieter ambiance and better value for money.

Took my daughter here for her graduation supper. We all had a lovely meal in smart, contemporary surroundings. A wide menu choice to suit all tastes and budgets. Staff were very attentive, friendly, but also professional. Would highly reccommend for any occasion.

This restaurant can be summed up in one phrase'style over substance'. The restaurant looks wonderful, real shame the food and the service doesn't match. First food, we were interested in just a quick bite to eat, with the intention of having a blow out if the initial indicators were favourable ie if they do the basics right then we'd be back. We ordered a pizza and pasta with clams. The clams were served with a shell type pasta, not the ideal pasta to pick up the delicate flavours of seafood, the pasta itself was undercooked, no not al dente, undercooked, the sauce was lacking in flavour. Price £12, pizza was poor and luke warm, £12. We didn't go back, the restaurant is overpriced and clearly has grand pretensions, try getting the basics right first. Would not recommend."

I totally agree with mike and lynn.
my party of 14 arrived at this resturant and on first impressions were taken by the interior of the building which looked great. Unfortunately the rest of the night was more like a nightmare.
Food as just awful and I would go so far as to say disgraceful. The food was not cheap but we would have happily paid the higher rates given the location had the food been edible.
Lasagne was completely burned to a crisp - charcoal on top and it was the manager of the resturant who actually served it to one of my party!!! When a substitute was provided it was bland and presented with tin foil round the edge of it... more like a bad ready made meal for one!
This Italian couldnt even get the pizza right. Base was extremely dry and actually split in half it was so over cooked. There was no sauce on the goats cheese pizza only crumbled cheese and lots of rocket - just terrible. When only 3 out of our 14 could stomach eating their dinner I complained to the waiter and asked to speak to the manager. The very nice waiter had to ask the manager 3 times to please come and deal with us, as she kept ignoring us and walking past the table.
After a 15 minute wait she came over and I explained our disappointment. She shrugged, made no excuse and went to see the owner. When she returned she explained that was the way food was served here (I did question the fact that she served the lasagne completely burned - was this normal?) but she agreed to discount our meal in the end. I left the resturant completely starving and very disappointed.
