What Roxanne Thomas doesn't like about Gordon's Trattoria:
Eating was ok, tables very close together, making private conversations more difficult. We quickly served for our main course, but then no one came to a dessert order or ask if we wanted more drinks. Wine was expensive. View all feedback. What George S. Raptis likes about Gordon's Trattoria:
It was our 1st time dining in Gordon’s Trattoria, as we were on holiday in Edinburgh. We had a wonderful evening, the food was amazing great value for money!! The staff were very attentive friendly..We would highly recommend this fabulous restaurant!! View all feedback.
