Patatino

★★★★★

“A bittersweet mix of feelings after our visit last Sunday to Patatino, where we celebrated our Valentine’s dinner. The restaurant’s design, with its open kitchen and chic décor featuring soft pink and Mediterranean touches, is absolutely beautiful. The service was very good, and it’s a perfect spot for a romantic lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations for an Italian fine dining restaurant. The dishes were served almost cold and lacked depth of flavour. The drinks menu also offers very limited non-alcoholic options — only one non-alcoholic cocktail priced at £10. The tiramisu, however, was excellent — a generous portion and definitely the highlight of the evening. We can see the restaurant’s potential, but the quality of the food needs to match the high standards reflected in the ambiance and overall presentation.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true taste of the Amalfi Coast right here in Edinburgh Having lived in Edinburgh all my life and spent time along the Amalfi Coast, I can honestly say Patatino captures the essence of southern Italy perfectly. From the moment you step inside, you’re met with that unmistakable warmth and charm that transports you straight to the coast — lemon groves, sea breeze and all. The food is exceptional — beautifully fresh, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care. Every dish has that balance of simplicity and finesse that defines real Italian cooking. The seafood is outstanding, the pasta is faultless, and the Amalfi-inspired touches make it truly special. Service is equally impressive — attentive without ever feeling rushed, and genuinely friendly in a way that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit. Having experienced both Edinburgh’s dining scene and authentic Amalfi hospitality, I have no hesitation in recommending this fantastic restaurant. Patatino is the real deal — a little slice of the Italian coast nestled right here in the heart of the city. 🇮🇹✨”

“Patatino was an unexpected surprise. This little Italian trattoria at The Hoxton Edinburgh serves delicious food, combining Italian classics with a brilliant Scottish touch. The pizza with Haggis and 'Nduja is a must-to-try! The dimmed lights and the restaurant design creates a magical atmosphere. The place is buzzing and the service is attentive and felt really genuine. Iwona took care of our table and her service was impeccable. She gave recommendations and made us feel at ease and home since the first moment we entered Patatino (thank you!). Highly recommended and would definitely come back!”
