chef Rosario sartore

By importing artisan products from Italy and combining them with the best meat, fish and seafood from Scotland, Locanda de Gusti is able to serve unique and exciting dishes in the tradition of Southern Italy.

We serve a high range of gluten-free dishes including desserts. While vegan customers can be catered on request simply taking off some ingredient from the dishes.

Every day, everything is made from scratch.
So there’s always something new to discover each time you visit.

Chef Rosario is passionate about food and grew up in a large family in Naples where life revolved around the kitchen table. He was taught to cook by his mother and aunt who took the young Rosario on their daily trips to the market.

Today Rosario continues these traditions in Edinburgh, serving the authentic Italian food of his childhood, created using the best ingredients available each day.

In a small neighbourhood, just a 5-minute walk from Haymarket Station,
you will discover Locanda de Gusti.

Rosario and wife Maria offer genuine Italian hospitality at their warm and welcoming restaurant, reminiscent of the trattorias of Naples. Whether you’re enjoying an intimate dinner for two, lunch with friends or a large family celebration,
Locanda is a place to eat well and relax.
