Locanda De Gusti (Dalry)

• Southern Italian cuisine is about great ingredients
• The new premises are light and welcoming with an informal feel
• Locanda de Gusti is a restaurant where generations can come together and enjoy each other&rsquo
• Neapolitan cooking is Mediterranean in style
• You just want fresh ingredients put together with a respectful touch
• From plump prawns with peas and lemon
• Creamy in texture with the flavour of land and sea in mouthful
• A lovely hearty barley salad with tomatoes and olives and more
• Then came back and filled it with all new dishes
• Each dish tasted great and the flavours were clean and distinct
• My companion for the evening was overcoming a roller derby injury and needed something to cheer her up
• Her favourite was the clams and the barley salad
• The prawns and peas fight with the beans and squid for top dish status in my mind
• D stuffed ourselves with savoury dishes
• The space they are in now was a bakery
• I look forward to going back and spending an evening experiencing Neapolitan food with good friends
• I had the grilled vegetables with mozzarella for the starter
• The fish was perfectly cooked and the beans were flavourful and not too heavy
• The red wine that was recommended was really excellent
• I ended the meal with a rich chocolate mousse
• The food is excellent and the servers are extremely friendly and helpful
• Family type of restaurant with homely decorations
• Very friendly staff with justifiable pride in their food and a very good knowledge of each of their tasty dishes
• I suspect the menu changes with seasonal specialties but the buffalo mozzarella was very delicious and made more so by the interesting and intense tomato "
• Looking for a quality time this is the perfect place to come to
• My stopover to this restaurant with my kids was the right decision I made
• We had the mini frittata and rice ball with creamy leek sauce to start and a sea bass dish which had the fillet wrapped around a core of mash
• All dishes were delicious and innovative
• I have been to this restaurant before and wanted to impress my friend with a quality food
• Main some ordered from the specials menu and others from the regular there was not even one dish tasted bad
• Going alone to a restaurant sometimes makes you feel wonderful and if the restaurant is awesome then it makes your day
• The simplicity was almost the whole point
• I went there at the end of their first week so it was fairly quiet
• It was a warm mild evening so the front door was kept opened which combined with the decor
• Me and my boyfriend were really looking forward to this meal
• The inside of Locanda De Gusti is so nice and quaint
• Especially with the Moretti beer fridge
• Our meal was at 7.15pm and all the tables were full when we arrived
• 2 pieces of bread and a miniature pan of oil and balsamic vinegar were brought out
• It was also the perfect size for 2 people as it was a very generous portion
• The sea bass was also delicious
• The service was very friendly
• At times the service was slightly slow
• Locanda De Gusti is definitely the best Italian food I have had in Edinburgh
• As soon as I walked into Locanda De Gusti on Dalry Road I felt that I was taken back to Italy
• The food is all made daily so the menu is adapted to what seasonal produce is available
• Locanda De Gusti is a small restaurant
• Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding with our booking and there was not a table for us
• The general atmosphere is quite intimate
• The food was simply fantastic (even though I'm vegetarian and there were less options for me)
• Our first meal after a long journey up to Edinburgh and it was a great meal to kickstart our weekend
• Both dishes we ordered the pork cheeks and seafood linguine were perfectly cooked and presented
• The seafood was both fresh and delicious and would highly recommend this restaurant if you're a fan of italian cuisine
