In April 2014 the people of Edinburghwere invited to taste and embrace atrue Italian dining experience. Aconcept that was first born in Italy in2003. Osteria del Tempo Perso wascreated with love by the Iacobelli family15 years ago in Casalvieri. As well asimporting artisan ingredients from theirhome farm in Italy, the family haveenhanced their menu with the finestproduce from Scotland’s larder. It’s thisperfect mix of Italy and Scotland thatmakes Tempo Perso, Edinburgh.

Tempo Perso is an independent Italian eatery and wine barowned by the Iacobelli family. Marco Iacobelli now calls

Edinburgh home - he is deeply invested in sharing and

promoting the true essence of Italian food and hospitality. he is

passionate about celebrating the fresh food and fine wine he

grew up enjoying in Italy. Remaining true to his roots, means

keeping it simple but eternally pleasing. As such, the ethos of

Tempo Perso was born. Simple is Beautiful.

In Italy, an Osteria is a cosy haven where you pass the time with

friends and family. It traditionally serves wine and simple food. At

Tempo Perso we take inspiration from this style of dining. Simple

but quality ingredients, transformed using century-old recipes,

into fantastic plates of food.

The Iacobelli family take food very seriously and this passion is

reflected in the evolution of the Tempo Perso menu. The popular

daily specials menu, further emphasises the focus on fresh,

culinary delights. So whether you’d like to sample Scotland’s most

impressive (and largest) Italian wine list alongside a delicious

antipasti sharing board or tuck in to a beautiful handmade pasta

dish – your palate will be seduced within this charming space.

Great food, great wine, great times.
