Origano (Leith)

• S cosy and intimate with fantastic food and service
• The food is great and the atmosphere is truly unique
• Remember that it is a small place though
• Regularly sending people in its direction when the request was for the best pizza in the city
• I was in the mood for something rustic and filling and that was exactly what we got
• A huge slice of lasagne just like Mum used to make (pardon the cliche) There really is nothing better than the mozzarella melting with the warmth of the tomato
• My one comment is that I would have preferred to apply my own parmesan or have it applied at the table
• As there was quite a bit of it and it was overpowering at times
• I had never visited Origano when it was in the smaller premises but had heard that it was THE place to visit in the Burgh for the best pizza
• Luckily the manager was on hand to find us a table and we were given one of the built in 'breakfast bar' tables right at the entrance
• These tables are narrow but we were just thankful to get a table
• Unfortunately the stools are very high and I really battled to climb up on it (getting off was just as bad)
• Not sure if they were made for giants
• The interior of the main restaurant is open with the pizza prep and oven area open for all to see
• Beautiful large vases with white lilies and plenty of candles makes for a very welcoming relaxed atmosphere
• It took a good 15 minutes before we were even given a menu and asked if we wanted something to drink
• Once appointed to our table was super friendly but unfortunately you always remember the bad before the good
• The restaurant manager was quite rude and very grumpy he really needs to brush up on his social skills
• Grilled and then sprinkled with parmesan cheese
• Gosh these were absolutely without a doubt
• The pizza dough is thin and crispy with the occasional air pocket on the crust making it even crispier
• All the toppings were generous and just enough of each element to give you a different bite each time
• This is the BEST PLACE in Edinburgh for pizza (hopefully they were just having a super busy night when we visited and service in general is good)
• Have been informed that this is the place to be for the best pizza in town
• So prosciutto pizza was what I ordered
• This pizza was honestly the best I've had in Edinburgh
• The quality of ingredients and taste of the really crispy crust from the amazing old fashioned pizza oven they use was incredible
• Only thing I could say is I would have loved more pasta options but you cant criticise because everything I tried was perfect
• The only places available were on bar like tables
• I had the pompei pizza which was nice and spicy with the perfect crust
• Stayed friendly and didn't forget about us though we were seated near the door in an odd corner
• The ambiance was great and the prices right
• The middle sized pizza was even a little bit too much for us and we are big eaters
• Origano has long enjoyed a sterling reputation when it comes to the renowned Italian staple and was in fact adjudged to &ldquo
• From arrival to departure this was a very pleasant experience
