Stumbled upon this little gem of a restaurant. Vast menu range serving delicious food with generous portions at a very reasonable price all served by friendly family staff. Great atmosphere, was just like being in Italy View all feedback.
What قارس المبيضين doesn't like about The Jolly:
The pizza was a flat frozen kinda affair with some sort of sauce, precious little cheese and burnt at the end. The pasta was basically watered down tomato paste with very little flavor. I’m half Italian and I’m quite sure my grandmother is rolling in her grave at the thought of an Italian restaurant serving what basically amounted to a lean cuisine meal and calling it good. If I could give a negative star review I wo... View all feedback.
Do not let the outside fool youInside is a cosy, family friendly, vibrant Italian with outstanding service and amazing portions with great prices.
Small Italian restaurant/cafe in the heart of EdinburghThe pizza and pasta were really good and the staff was very friendly.
The decor of The Jolly is very dingy, dated and not very appealing and very cramped.
Best authentic pizza in edinburgh. if they are looking for the best pizza outside italian – they avoid the “pizza house” chains (the jamies ersatz italian and the inflated egos and the consuming feeling of the service in the small Italian delicacies, the lothian road and hannover street are popping up (think about Macho-Italian versions of missrsham without the spirit) there is also a large selection of pizza alternatives: pasta etc. but as a veggie I tend to keep with what the jolly made famous. if they want a real bargain and must seriously fill with the day they can be a three cure lunch for £6.10 (rather choice including pizza, which must be the best worth in the city. a decent bottle of wine is about £15 – the house red/white served in carafes is considerably cheaper, what if it is not fussy, is okay. I trust no one who is sneaky over the jolly – and these people exist. okay, okay, the place is big, bright, busy, filled with kitsch, and may always seem so slightly chaotic – not fooling, the place runs like a well-oiled machine. but that’s why it’s so authentic italian – there are couples who sit next to big parties “in for the Playhouse”, local individual guides “in for their tea”, enthusiastic tourists and the occasional inebriated local politicians (it’s beguished that alex salmond gets his pizzas delivered from here, but I have actually not seen “the pie man” sitting on the space! a traitor in the jolly?
The best Italian in the city. splendid £5.70 set menu offers 25 different cursor choices. the wee is good, easy to understand, largely Italian and the ala-carte is appropriate. everyone seems to know the jolly, although I renew to dinburgh I have eaten there haklf a dozen times, wood fired pizza is great.
