I would not shop here after working at another location. Management treat staff terrible and there are several better small grocery/ corner store in Edinburgh that carry local products at a better price. Go have a look on glassdoor reviews of this place if you don't believe me!

Use this corner shop on my way home for any items I have forgotten to get whilst doing my weekly shop.It is slightly more expensive but that is to be expected.The store stocks a variety of produce and does maximise its space with food displays. The display rack in the middle of the floor opposite the crisps on one wall and wraps and sandwiches on the other is not ideal. Customers are bumping into each other to get past it.Staff are not rude but not friendly either, just there doing a job.

#FebruaryMission A perfect little corner shop convenience store. You can get pretty much everything you could need in margiotta's, it sells all the usual brand name stuff, so handy if you run out of bread, milk or bottle of juice. Where Margiotta's beats other corner shops is their excellent range of ready meals, from sandwiches, to freshly prepared salads, to pastries and tubs of olives! All the ready meal type items I believe are made locally for them, so feel fresher and better quality. Yes, you pay a bit more, but the food is good and if you're in a corner shop you tend to be looking for convenience rather than bargains!

Not the cheapest local shop but has a good range of products and often does wine deals to compete with the multiple's. Margiotta's is great for picking up last minute items and has a great range of salads and dinner items. Not so great for gluten free foods (no bread) but some of their indian range (pakoras/bahjis) are gluten free and they stock Mrs Crimbles coconut cookies if looking for a quick fix.

Another day, another Margiotta that I didn't know about. This one is located on Shandon Place, not far from Slateford Road. There was I believing that Margiotta was an exclusively Marchmont establishment, but how little I know! This Margiotta is a bit like a tardis - much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I expected to find it to be the size of a small cornershop, but instead it was like a rabbit warren of many different sections. It has the amounts of produce that you would expect from a small supermarket rather than a local cornershop. As with all of the branches of Margiotta, the prices are high. Even compared to Tesco, the prices were a fair bit more. A 500g box of Rice Krispies was £2.49 for example. Whilst the quality may be good, you are paying for that. It's not the sort of place that I would choose to do a week's shopping at, as with a 24 hour Asda down the road, I know where I would go. For good quality local convenience, Margiotta is unlikely to be bettered. If you travel a bit further, you will find the same things for a lower price. So don't be sucked in without checking all of the competition!
