Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goa...
Can’t stress enough what a special experience this delightful little restaurant is. Just a handful of tables and a taster menu that would be unrivalled in any Michelin star restaurant. Personal service but never overwhelming. The wine pairing is a must as the charming Italian sommelier really knows his stuff but do a so in such a relaxed way as to make it feel like a real adventure. I’d never tried any of the wines before (each a perfect pairing with the very imaginative little meals) and every one was a delightful revelation. The tiny restaurant is both classy lovely crockery too! and romantic. You could easily be on some Venetian back street. Our excellent meal was entirely vegetarian but...
Once again, Giovanni and Mara have impressed me! This hidden gem is my favorite restaurant in Edinburgh. What sets it apart is their dedication to using honest, organic, and high-quality ingredients. I am very particular about what I eat, opting for clean, non-GMO, and pesticide-free options whenever possible. Giovanni and Mara seem to share my values when it comes to sourcing ingredients, resulting in beautifully crafted dishes that showcase the best flavors. Every plate is thoughtfully composed, with attention to detail in presentation and taste. Giovanni's wine selection and olive oil are always a treat, showcasing his knowledge and passion for food and drink. I feel so fortunate to have...
My husband and I decided to have dinner at this restaurant and chose the seven-course tasting menu, with my husband also having the matched wines. Every dish we tried was incredibly delicious, and it was a pleasant surprise to have options for pescatarians on the tasting menu. My husband mentioned that each wine was unique and paired perfectly with the dishes. The atmosphere was cozy and created a romantic setting for our evening, especially when combined with the exceptional service we received - attentive and knowledgeable but not pretentious. As locals, we had put off trying RadiCibus for too long - don't make the same mistake!

I so wanted to give this place 5 stars but we were a little disappointed with the food, especially having seen such great reviews. The place is delightful and the service totally charming. We were there on a Saturday night so it was very noisy, as so many places are, having no soft furnishings. My husband is a tad deaf so this can be a problem for us. We had the a la carte option and I chose the breaded mushroom for the main course, meant to taste like chicken which it really did! Rather bland, overcooked chicken really. But lots of lovely bits and as I said, great ambiance so we'll definitely give it another go.
can not recommend this location enough. I was fed here, never had the same tasting menu as they all change for months, and every time it was excellent to eat. large selection of screaming and the service is amazing. they can really feel that the whole person loves what they do and put their hearts on it. definitiw my top restaurant in edinburgh.

I had a perfect meal at this restaurant, rating it 10/10. The standout dish for me was the oyster mushroom. The service was amazing and they had a great selection of wines. Overall, it was a wonderful evening.
