Gennaro is a lovely little Italian restaurant situated in th Grassmarket. It serves all of the best Italian food you could expect along with a variety of other dishes. From pizza and pasta to chicken and other meats. It is reasonably priced and the quality of food is great. I would recommend it as a great place to go with friends or family for a treat. It is fairly small creating a cosy and homely environment. Staff are on hand and quick to serve and take any complaints if you were to have any (I certainly wouldn't!) but just in case!

We headed over to Grassmarket to find the Lot in anticipation of seeing some Jazz there and just hoped to find a nice enough restaurant nearby to eat in beforehand. Not only did we find Petit Paris (Rob had been wanting to go back but wasn't 100% sure where it was) we happened upon Gennaro Ristorante.

It was soooooo nice, we ordered a bottle of the house red and some olives before even opening the menu, only to realise once we did that they didn't offer olives! Expecting the waiter to come back and let us know we went ahead and chose what we wanted to eat only to have him come back with a gorgeous bottle of wine and a HUGE bowl of amazing olives! Not ones to argue we dug in. The mains where lovely too, think we shared a pizza and a yummy cannelloni.

When the bill came which overall was very good value, we found out they'd only charged £2 for the olives! They had so just made up a quantity and price on the spot and we where the benefactors. Moral of the story always order olives at Gennaro's!
