About San Ciro's
Leith does not lack Italian restaurants, but few can claim cheese flown in from Naples. At San Ciro's, that commitment shows up in every bite of the Neapolitan pizza — a dough people describe as addictive, the kind that turns a first visit into a habit. The tiramisu and arancini are the other dishes locals keep coming back for, with the misto starter rounding out a menu that is clearly doing something right. The staff are famously chatty, and the owner sets a tone that makes the room feel genuinely welcoming rather than transactional.
What Stands Out
Neapolitan pizza
Three independent local reviewers in September 2026 called the pizzas the best they'd had anywhere; the dough is soft and properly fermented, and cheese is flown in from Naples.
Value
A large square slice of spicy salami pizza costs £4, described as unbeatable.
Staff
Reviewers describe the owner and staff as chatty, friendly, and unhurried; one called them 'one of the mostly lovely set of people I've ever met'.
