Locanda De Gusti Will Be Closed From 1st - 17th July - Open on 18th July

We are  an exciting Southern Italian Restaurant situated on East London Street at the foot of Broughton Street in Edinburgh.

Locanda De Gusti came from the Latin word De Gusti Bus which means 'a matter of taste'. Literally Locanda is a place where you can come and taste good food and wine.

We aim to influence our guests by introducing the true taste of southern Italian cuisine by using only Scottish prime produce served by multi award winning chef Rosario Sartore.
