My Wife and I found ourselves on a cold, wet Scottish night in the centre of Edinburgh prior to an evening at the Playhouse Theatre. We had booked a table at Mama Roma`s and we were welcolmed into the cosy bistro by friendly staff, who guided us to a table and relieved us of our wet coats. We chose from a very reasonably priced pre-theatre menu, and were soon enjoying our delicious Italian starters, mains and deserts, all washed down with a glass (or 2) of the excellent house wines. The Bistro was busy but the service was excellent, with a real buzz of conversation in the backround, a really pleasant comfortable experience with an authentic Italian "feel", but eventually, the clock beckoned, and we donned our coats, paid and left, but not before booking for later that week, when we would be able to enjoy a meal without concern for the clock!...We will be back!
