Eat Out Edinburgh!Il Castello
Il Castello
Il Castello restaurant was established in 1989 by the former owner Nicky Polcino and Jackie Waller who also were the couple that opened the first Italian restaurant in Edinburgh, The Sorrento, in 1959.
Nicky then went on to open various restaurants across Edinburgh including Vito’s Restaurant which was a 5 star establishment and well known for being the best Italian Restaurant in the UK.
Now going full circle the son of NIcky and Jackie, Cosimo has recently taken charge where he hopes to take the restaurant back to the top and replicate the successes his father had with Vito’s.
Working alongside cosimo is head chef Elaina fernandez and a further 2 female chefs of which he plans to put Elaina through her master chef certificate so the restaurant can get its michellan star status.
Since Cosimo’s return from Kenya Malindi, where he ran the largest holiday resort on the coast of the Indian Ocean he has brought back the specialty of Italian seafood to the menu and welcomes all to the restaurant at the foot of the castle.
