Ecco Vino — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

There is a very interesting story about why I gave this restaurant such a low rating. I ate at this restaurant with one friend, it was our second visit to Edinburgh, we are Asian, the people who served us were very polite and made me feel very good, the food was nothing special and I can say was OK but not amazing. However, I felt very good and grateful to the waiter's friendly attitude. At the time of checkout, we asked both of us to split the bill. We saw that there was already a service charge on the bill, so we happily finished the bill and planned to leave. At this time, my friend found a very interesting thing, she told me that I found the store charged us more than one pound. The bill comes to 46.13 and each person pays 23.065. But he charged us 23.65 each, which means he overcharged us by a total of £1.17. This is the second time we have met such a thing in Edinburgh, we have also met it in another restaurant before, quietly charging more than one pound, the guests will not notice, if it is not a friend who has had such an experience, maybe we will rarely notice such things happen, pay attention to the figure on the bill. So I directly told the shop waitress that he made a mistake in his account, overcharged us and got back one pound. I believe the shop waitress will probably argue that they made a mistake accidentally, but my friends and I don't think so. This city has an ancient culture and beautiful architecture. People treat the tourists as fools and it's a bad influence on the city,...

Our food was great, unfortunately the service was atrocious. We asked our server for some help ordering wine and he said "I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't really like wine". Ok...? So he went to ask someone else. Then we ordered some starters and two mains. He seemed to have no idea about what was on the menu and had to look at the menu to spell "gnocchi" . He brought both starters and my main meal all at the same time. My husband sat and watched me eat. After some time we asked where his food was and the came back and said there was a delay in the kitchen. Ok, whatever but someone should have said something and maybe waited to bring my main course as well. I wonder if he forgot to send it to the kitchen anyway. We sat there with dishes ready to be taken away and finally stacked them up ourselves to give them a hint. After his food finally did come we got out of there asap. Not before our server brought our bill to the wrong table. Obviously this guy has never served a table in his life but he's definitely not ready to be out on the floor! Irresponsible of the staff to let someone represent their restaurant that has no idea what they're doing. Really a shame because the food (when we did get...

The waiter gave us warm welcome and arranged a table for us quickly. We ordered 4 items: -Soup of the day, broccoli: It’s not a creamy type of soup, instead it’s quite watery. If you are expecting something creamy, think again before choosing this soup . However it’s a heart-warming dish under the cold weather. -the Cheese board 4 different types of cheese, biscuit and bread, rocket leaf, onion jam, with sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. This dish is tasty and the flavor is well balanced. I would recommend this as a starter of the dinner -seafood linguini The linguini itself is fresh and full of flavor, but do not keep the hope high for the seafood. Mussel size is ok. The whole prawn with the head is not fresh enough. I prefer they serve all frozen prawn so to keep the texture crunchy. And they serve only one lonely squid. The flavor is a bit plain I say this is a ok seafood linguini but don’t worth the money£20. -Pinsa Romana This is definitely a must try item. The portion is big enough for 2 people to share. I really like the combination of all the ingredients. All are well balanced and finger licking....
