La Favorita, 325-331 Leith Walk, EH6 8SA, Edinburgh

Going there on a family outing with three generations may not have been the best choice with the grandparents being hard of hearing and the need for a large table both making it difficult to communicate in such a lively setting! Would definitely reccomend for a girls night out or dinner with friends but a table for four at the most to avoid any shouting! It is loud and bositerous with a young feel and waiters seemingly imported from Italy (another good reason to make this a girls night out!)

I shared the seafood soup which was tomato based and flavourful but the good amount of seafood in the soup was slightly overcooked and a bit dissapointing. For my entree I chose an egg pasta, I forget the name of the shape, but it was like penne but hand rolled resulting in a delicate mouth feel. The sauce was a cream and italian bacon sauce with fresh veggies. It was nicely done and satisfying. My husband had one of the pizzas with fresh rocket and procuitto (laid on after the pizza came out of the oven which is the way to do it). It was a good choice. The just warm salty meat was a perfect match for the peppery rocket. Other choices around the table was a riccotta and eggplant pasta, very nice, a pizza topped with smoked salmon, I didn't understand that match, and a veggie pizza, among others. There were no complaints around the table and we managed to get through the meal without any hitches and that is saying much when you have so much family around.

Recommended highly and next time I will have a dessert!

Fun, friendly atmosphere (watch out for birthday parties!). Service excellent and of course the food - this is also very good - especially some of the more exotic pasta dishes. Highly recommended.

4.5 from Sandervdd (13%) on June 3rd, 2008 (1 month ago)

I can be really short about this amazing restaurant. Simply the best pizzas in town, very friendly staff and extremely fast even when they're really busy! I always get my pizzas for take-away and I never have to wait long. Get a tub of mixed icecream as well, they can be quite generous in the serving for a few quid!
