I m basing my review of La Piazza on my experience a few months ago. For those of you who are not too familiar with Edinburgh,this restaurant is in Shandwick Place,West end. It is ideally situated near many offices and the Financial district of Edinburgh. There are many Italian restaurants in Edinburgh-especially in the City Centre. I went here with a friend as she works nearby to it and was recommended it by colleagues. I had previously been to the restaurant about 5 years ago for a friend's birthday night outbut of course things have changed. The interior is a lot better and it hads been extensively refurbished.
One major flaw about this restaurant is that even though they open all day from 12 until late,they do NOT offer a lunch menu -which is very annoying and disappointing. The cost of all the meals are not cheap either compared to any other places i've been to and neither are the drinks. I ordered a lasagne which cost £8.50 and i was very disappointed firstly because it did not come with any salad and secondly that it had 5 layers of thick cheese and barely any meat at all. The sauce was dried which meant it had definitely been overdone. The service was also not good at all as all the waitrers seemed too busy and not willing to be polite at all. Needless to say we did not leave a tip at all. I would not recommend this place at all unless you really reall really want to pay too much for a substandard meal.
Try elsewhere and pay half as much and get double in return.
