Pizza Posto is absolutely delicious! We know pizza and this at the top. Is isn't just the pizza that is wonderful, but the entire menu. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. We liked it so much we went twice in our short stay. The service is friendly and attentive. If I lived in Edinburgh I would be there weekly.
