On Saturday, September 2nd, 2023, I had lunch at this restaurant. I have been coming here for years and have always been impressed with the attentive and welcoming staff. This is definitely the best Italian restaurant in the area and it never disappoints. The menu is excellent and offers a variety of dishes that are not your typical Italian cuisine. My favorite dish is the Manzo alla picchoepo, a delicious beef recipe from Rome. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you very much for the great experience. - Gerry and Mary from Edinburgh.
Last week Papilio, this week Tempo Perso. This is the upmarket brasserie version of the more traditional Papilio with a simple but stylish interior making the most of the corner location, and the cuisine similarly on the nouvelle side. The focaccia was more like a pizza, sides like the rosemary roast potatoes first class, everything piping hot but easily washed down with the Sicilian Viognier. Lovely staff. As I say, spoilt for choice. Terrific.
We dined here for the first time, with friends. It was excellent. Friendly, on point staff. My wife had a delicious Pasta Limone Gamberi and I a tasty Parmigiana Melanzane. We all had tiramisu for desert which with the addition of some Marsala wine was an excellent, way to finish the evening. We will return!
Ok experience, although the food was slow to the table and it all seemed a bit disorganised and under staffed. Prices have increased since a few months ago probably supply pressures but at £50ish per head for food VFM was questionable. Wines tasty and our two servers were good

Our favourite Italian in Edinburgh. The staff are professional, knowledgable about the dishes and wine and friendly. A must try is the special dish of the day a real taste of authentic cuisine. Marco has a fantastic team give Tempo a try it will become your favourite too.
The service at this restaurant was outstanding and the pizza we ordered was truly one of the best I have ever had. The crust was perfectly light and fluffy, just as it was described on the menu.
Wish we could eat here every night food made with love and served with love. Thankyou Marco and team for a lovely evening, take care , keep well and keep up the great work Grace Paul
The restaurant was very inviting and the staff was friendly. The food was fantastic and really impressive. I especially enjoyed the pasta dish and the chicken.
