Does anyone recognize this Edinburgh restaurant

[thatone]

A few years ago I went to an Italian restaurant in the University area which had the feel of an American diner. The food, particularly the pasta sauce was really lovely. I have totally forgotten the name and the exact location. Do any Edinburgh MNers recognize it? Thank you

Tony Macaroni?

Bar Napoli is great for proper Italian but it’s on Hanover street, so probably not your one, but mentioning it cos it’s good 😊

Paolozzi - restaurant at the top of the Meadows?

Vittorio on the Bridge? On George IV Bridge.

Thank you so much! Tony Macaroni sounds familiar I think that's the one.

Ad thank you for the other suggestions....which I might have to try...

It sounds like Taste Of Italy to me, but that is down near London Road, not the uni area.

I thought Paolozzi too. Toni macaroni food is awful!

When we first went to Tony Macaroni many years ago we loved it, but quality has definitely taken a nose dive.

Tony Macaroni is a chain as well. And rubbish!

Bar Napoli is fab - agree it's unlikely to be that because of the geography but worth a visit!

I think it might be Isola - it’s out in the Southside where a lot of students live. It has a big diner style bar (it’s like it’s straight out of the 50s) and the food is great. Sardinian rather than British Italian.

Yes, it’s well worth a trip. Agree with everyone else, Tony macaroni is an awful chain. MUCH better to support individual places. More interesting for a start!

Oh no! Really - that's a shame about TM.
Thank you all for the other places to try.

Agree with @Chemenger It could be Vittoria's on the Bridge.
