Italian pop on the radio. Waiters yelling Andiamo! Andiamo! at the chefs, the owner yelling Basta! at the bartender. Proper Italian trattoria recipes. The best bicchiere of house wine I've had since a year ago in Tuscany.
Edinburgh during festival time is chaotic, in the best way. Walking yesterday I saw a woman dressed as a bee, three people on stilts (not together), and a small man doing cartwheels down the street. The latter is not the wisest way to travel through a crowd, but whatever. A cynic would call this pandering. The festival is still new to me, so I love it.
But I also love retreating back to a neighborhood and finding a gem of a place like Guiliano's. It took £20 from me, but it was a delightful place to spend that £20.

I'd surely spend £20 on pizza and wine that would transport me back to Bellavista
Giuliano's is the best isn't it - it's not changed a bit in all the years it's been running and the waiters have aged at the same pace as me :) Says something doesn't it when the staff have been there for as long as 25 years.
Good to know it hasn't changed, Jackie! I went there two other times during my week in Leith. What a great part of Edinburgh.
