Reviews for Contini George Street

Loving breakfast!

Visited for breakfast this morning without a booking and thankfully unlike the Scottish cafe approach we were seated at a lovely table in the heart of the restaurant. A warm welcome from Adam who very helpfully source a favourite drink which wasn’t on the menu. Food was wonderfully fresh, tasty and very sizeable portions. Thanks to such a great team!

I have to recommend this restaurant for morning breakfasts

I have to recommend this restaurant for morning breakfasts. The Italian restaurant is quite stylish inside and has lots of space to if you have a lot of people to go for food with. The breakfasts themselves have a wide choice, with the traditional Scottish breakfasts being fantastic. It also serves alcohol early so if you want cocktails at 10 this is a fantastic place to come. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely Perfect!

This is the best Italian food I ate outside Italy. Everything was perfect! The service was absolutely amazing.. staff are so nice and kind! The restaurant looks absolutely stunning … and the tiramisu is brought from heaven (best tiramisu I’ve ever eat.. sorry Mom but it better than yours..)

An excellent lunch

Had the lemon sole in parmesan and cream, but also tried the calamari. Both were excellent and some of the best fish seafood I’ve had. Lovely selection of wines by the glass, and a special mention to the lovely and professional staff. A fabulously run restaurant.

Delicious dinner high quality produce, with excellent service.

An excellent dinner – burrata, maiale, affogato, profiterloles etc with some well chosen wine; just delicious, in a warm atmosphere and lovely service from Rhea. Repeat visits in order!

Our server made the meal special!

First time visit to Contini in George Street for myself and my lunch companion. Warmly greeted and seated, we had excellent advice, genuine interest in our wine taste and professional attention throughout the meal by our server, Rhea. A beautiful restuarant with a gem of a staff member!

Exceptional

I had the pleasure of visiting Contini with a group of friends recently. Apart from the food being outstanding we had the pleasure of meeting Rhea whose knowledge and service were exceptional. We will definitely be back and will be looking out for Rhea.

This was an amazing experience!

We got there 10 people without a booking, must say the staff was a bit surprised by us stopping by, but nonetheless they got us a private room (used for wine tasting, private functions and so on). The atmosphere, food, drinks and staff was an absolute delight- especially our waitress was a blast. I will highly recommend this place to everybody.

Great lunch

Just come back from a great corporate lunch in Contini’s private dining room. We were hosted by Rhea, who looked after us very well, from meeting and welcoming our guests to bringing them to the dining room and then discreetly serving us an excellent three course lunch without disturbing us and allowing our conversations to flow. A very pleasant and productive couple of hours. Would recommend.
