Amaro Italian Restaurant & Bar in Kirklees

Lovely pre theatre meal for 4 of us. Food was very nice, huge Calzone pizza, very tasty pasta dishes. Meat balls for starter recommended. Service was very friendly, reasonable cost. Went early doors and was quiet hence lower score on atmosphere but imagine a good vibe when busier. Will definitely go again.

Service lacked lustre, and it was pretty evident that at 2130, they wanted to go home. When I went to the toilet, all the lights had been switched off upstairs. We have been here many times and were one of their first customers. I'm hoping the owner is on holiday, but I worry that if this is the staff's way of running the restaurant while he's away, things will suffer.

Overall service delivery was very satisfactory however, despite it being tasty, the Spaghetti Cabanara could be less oily.

The service was second to none. Very personable staff, serving.excellent food. Very tasty & excellent value. A lovely relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended. We will be returning in the not too distant future.

Amaro is one of them restaurant's where if you have a taste for a specific dish, it hits the spot every time. Me and the wife will have a meal here every few weeks. The staff are great, good pricing and some fantastic wines if that's you're thing. Thumbs up from us.

Well seasoned and authentic. Some water and oil would have been nice on the table but overall good value and worth visiting 👌.

Food was extremely bland and portion size was shocking for the price. Found it a bit odd the waiter was drinking shots and other alcoholic drinks from are table.

Had an amazing time , food is lovely , new owner is amazing . Worth coming over 🙂

Amazing place with great food but most of all- exceptional service from start to finish, especially considering the circumstances! I hope the new owner has the most success with Amaro! Please do visit.

I’ve been with group of friends.Great service and delicious food. Best pizza I’ve had for years. Excellent service. Would definitely go back again!!

The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent 👌

Overall, it was a good experience. Good quality food ( I don't have a photo of the food here) and the staff were all friendly. Also, the sitting area and generally the environment was good. However, I thought the prices were higher than where it should be. But overall, I think it was a nice place to eat.

Couldn't fault this place, great food, great price, great atmosphere and engaging staff. I speak Italian and it's always encouraging when the staff talk with you and appreciate the effort i have made which they did at Amaro's. Along with everything else that made the night for me. No hesitation in giving cinque stelle.

Defo, the best Italian restaurant that we've ever been to, this evening. I went in earlier this afternoon, with no customers (just before they opened at 4pm).Even with no customers, just got a good feeling about the ambience of the venue. This most certainly didn't disappoint. We all chose different main meals, & all were superb. Fab quality food, & such good value for money. All the staff are attentive, so great credit goes towards Marco Biagio & all his team. 🇮🇹 🍽 🍷 We will defo be back if in the Huddersfield area, in the future! 👍

Absolutely wonderful! We happened to stop by the area and were instantly lured into this restaurant by its cosy vibes, turns out our intuition was right! We ordered the specials of the day- Paella and back of lamb. The lamb was so succulent and tender, matched so well with the sauce and GOD the paella was magnificent, truly scrumptious 🤌🏻 The rice absorbed all the essences of the seafood, chicken and tomatoes and every single bite was a delight. Suffice to say we licked the plate clean, definitely one of the best paellas I've had in my life! And this is coming from a well-travelled person who is a picky eater and tries paella all over the world! I hope this becomes their regular menu because I am definitely coming back with a more empty stomach (I regret having eaten too many snacks during our drive). Not to mention the owner, chef and staff in general were all so friendly and kindly explained every dish and their recommendations. The prices are very reasonable too, you can't have food of this quality at this price in London or other big cities, more people ought to try this lovely place if they ever stop by! I saw that they have live music nights advertised too, so I can imagine it would be a nice date night if you bring your s/o to one of these dinner events🥰

Lovely staff and amazing food! Everyone is warm and welcominh. Our family had a great time today. Xx

It was my first time and I had a lovely birthday dinner with my family. The meals, ambience, and services were excellent.

Beautiful Food and wonderful service. Thank You

Our first visit and loved it. Food was really great and well priced. We will definitely be back as our daughter is just starting university. We had a 2 year old with us and her kids meal was proper cooked food not cheap stuff you usually get in some places.

The staff and food are amazing, I came with a Italian and she said the food was incredible , the main chef and all the staff was so friendly and inviting , the tirumisu dessert was delicious! Thanks again and I highly recommend this lovely little gem 👍

Had a lovely evening with my wife, daughter and granddaughter celebrating my daughter’s 24th birthday. Will definitely be going again.

Beautiful restaurant, food absolutely amazing, great choices, staff so friendly and chef Robbie makes the best pizza. If you’re in the area definitely call in, you won’t be disappointed

Top Italian restaurant in Huddersfield. Great pizza, pasta and also good steaks. Served and cooked in true Italian authenticity. Buon appetito.

Lovely local Italian restaurant. Decent prices and all the starters & mains we had were delicious. Very friendly & outgoing staff.

Also great food and reasonably priced, the host is always welcoming and nothing is to much trouble. Been numerous times and never had a complaint. We had the early bird and no complaint the portion size was the same as the al a carte. Kids are also made a fuss of too

Very atmospheric place, excellent service and delicious food. I really enjoyed this place and the seabass with veggies served in pizza crust was delicious 😋

We all had different dishes and everyone enjoyed . Mine was seabass served in pizza crust. Veg and fish cooked to perfection The staff were very friendly and efficient. The place itself is really nice not too large , the atmosphere is very calming

Gemütliches Restaurant mit gutem Essen. Das Ambiente und der Service sind ok.

Mamma Mia fantastico! Such an amazing place from walking in and throughout the whole meal. Beginning you are brought fresh bread & olives. To start I had the special fresh scallops, followed by another special a whole sea bream stuffed with herbs and lemon cooked to perfection. It came with boiled potatoes cooked in an Italian tomato sauce to which packs flavour with every mouthful. However it doesn’t take away the key attention to the sea bream which was flaky and falls off the bones having being left fully cooked. Finally with some room somehow the dark chocolate covered profiteroles with cream and raspberries which a-complimented the overall meal. The staff know their wines and drinks as to which matches with what you are wishing to eat and are all willing to explain the specials which are a must try. This place was well over due and very much a what shall we try next knowing each dish is as tasty as the next one! Thoroughly impressed and well worth the money as the food sets one of the highest standards I’ve eaten in the world. For those who understand food the price was nowhere near what it could’ve been this including drinks, the portion sizes, attention to detail in service & food. I can’t thank the staff enough as they are passionate about their service as the food; it shows and hope others wish to indulge in such experiences & meals alike. Thank you and will be there again soon.

Amazing food, service was a bit up the wall, but that can be expected with a large concert on, but food was amazing.

Really lovely little Italian restaurant! The king prawns are delicious and the fillet steak to die for!

Lovely Italian restaurant! Lovely welcoming staff, food is delicious

A traditional Italian trattoria type restaurant. The welcome is warm, and the service efficient and friendly. The time left between courses was good, we never felt rushed. The food was excellent. Melon and Parma Ham were juicy and salty, perfect. The Prawn Cocktail was superb. Lovely prawns that were sweet, with a great Marie Rose Sauce. Then Chicken Amalfi and Chicken topped with ham and Pecorino cheese for main courses, and both were really tasty. Cheesecake for dessert. Very rich, very sweet, but lovely. All for £80 including drinks. Spot on!

Our first visit here tonight, and certainly not the last! What a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable from walking through the door, until leaving at the end of our beautiful meal . The menu was extensive and varied, the food and drink arrived promptly and with care and a smile. Everything we ate was an absolute divine mouthful, so beautiful. We will certainly be dining here again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely restaurant... thank you to all concerned .

amazing food excellent service. will definitely be eating here again

I am biased ...I know Chef Marco

Nice place nice pizza nice staff, would definitely recommend 🤠

Food was simply gorgeous service was very good King prawn starter and T-bone steak 😋😋

Absolutely gorgeous food , from starters to desserts . Service impeccable, friendly definitely be back

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, fabulous service and fantastic food and wine, we will definitely be going again

Good food, well priced, nice meal out.

Bit of a wait for main dish but very nice food 👍

Staff very attentive but not in your face. Food was really nice both starters and mains were spot on. Chilled out atmosphere which was nice for a Friday early evening

Excellent place to eat for any occasion. Food is the BEST!!

Great food & staff we're fantastic, will definitely be going back

This was my second visit in the past month - before that I hadn't considered it as a place to eat despite passing it regularly but the food is gorgeous and the owner/manager is very attentive but not in an interfering way. He is happy to discuss the food and recommend appropriate food for specific dietary requirements. The early bird special is very good value for money. Will go again.

Went there with me mom for dinner tonight and it was absolutely amazing The cold starters were very fresh and rich in flavour, the cooking on that steak was on point, the chicken venucio was very good aswell The waiter was very friendly and gave excellent service and even offered free shots Overall great experience, would definitely recommend this place and would definitely come back for another Italian delightful experience

Lovely food very friendly staff will definitely be returning

Took my girlfriend for valentines dinner, very disappointing to say the least. Next to no service at all didn’t ask if we wanted drinks etc basically ignored the whole evening. I ordered the steak which was rare when I asked for well done the peas on my plate were old. It was a set menu so we ordered all 3 courses when we arrived and only to watch someone who arrived after us have the dessert we ordered before them then for the staff to come tell us they’ve run out of what we ordered absolute joke really.

Beautiful meal and wonderful service. Can't wait to go back!

Had a nice new year eve meal with a number of friends. Food was good and tasty

Wonderful… service, food, atmosphere, absolutely wonderful. We went there with our 6 yo twins and they absolutely loved it 🥰

Had a beautiful spaghetti bolognese here. The staff were incredibly friendly. We didn't have a long wait for food. Would definitely go back

First time been seen taken over. Love the make over. Food was lovely.

Mi sono trovato in questo locale per un viaggio di lavoro Personale italiano e non veramente gentili Piatti ottimi Consigliato

Family run Italian restaurant, a cut above the rest. Everything was good, service was attentive but low key couldn't really ask for more.

Very impressed with the food and service- will definitely be going again.

Very welcome, amazing customer service wonderful food

Great place for an authentic Italian meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meal was excellent. We can highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice food and service in Huddersfield. Will definetly come back if I'm around.

First visit for a large social gathering, restaurant had set up table for 15 of us. Service was very good and food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

Really great food, and the staff were really attentive and friendly

Outstanding food, wonderful service and really nice atmosphere. Went in on the off-chance, and will definitely be returning.

Really nice meal, no wine so bill was only £35 for two courses. We will go back

Excellent food service was slow and the one gent serving us had no no idea what was in the cocktails or the food he was serving I put this on the training from the management

Fantastic meal very cheap and excellent customer service what more can u ask for

I didn't have anything cos I had guts ache and I'm not massively into Italian cuisine but my girlfriend and her mum enjoyed the food and the wine !

Great food. The chefs here are amazing. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful restaurant, I don’t write reviews often but the authentic food and service was amazing and would highly recommend. Italian owned family business and felt much nicer than a chain like zizzis. Great prices too.

This is one of the few quality restaurants in Huddersfield if you're tired of Middle Eastern and Chinese food. We have been to this restaurant several times and we especially like the mushroom dishes. It can be busy sometimes, but the manager here is so friendly. He remembers not only our faces, but our eating habits, and even treat us a drink after our meal. I took these pictures with my camera because I love this restaurant so much!

Recently refurbished and based in the heart of Huddersfield Amaro has now become our default Italian. A great selection of pasta, pizza and drinks. Also a small kids menu with entertainingly named "Peppa pig pizza" Booking is not usually required unless it's a busy night - do book ahead if you have a big party.

Amazing food, great calming atmosphere, authentic food and lovely owners. Spent our anniversary here and will definitely be back when next in the area.

Absolutely amazing customer service went here anniversary and the food was phenomenal the owners are very Friendly and really nice out of the area but whenever I'm back I'm 100% going there again would recommend to anyone it's now my favourite restaurant

A great experience with a difference. Nice food with a very pleasant and polite waiter. Highly recommended.

Ate here on a Friday evening with family. Service was quick and efficient, food was delicious with generous portion sizes, and the menu was excellent value for money. Wouldn't change a thing - see you next time! 😊

Fantastic food and drink....Best Italian I've been to for a while.

Great food, great service. Highly recommended

Really nice place. Very clear and inviting when entering. Staff are lovely and friendly - food was fantastic. We made a bit of a mistake with our food presuming a sauce would be with the pollo Amalfi, It did not however it came with a nice serving of mayonnaise. Will have to try the pasta dishes next visit Worth a try - read the menu better than we did

Excellent food and great service

So nice food really italian in a English area 😋

I have been this re-opened italian restaurant many time since it’s opening day. The manager here is nice and dishes were good as well as authentic representative. However, today I must give one star on the review. I haven’t book in advance as I just addicted for T bone which was special dish recently. Today, here has live music and crowded with large party. All looks fine. But my starter were brought by a young gentleman, he just put my order directly in front of my and the plate covers fork and knife plus tissue. Leaves the dish name and turn around. This kind of serving way I was never experienced before. Crowd busy cannot be the excuse for rude serving quality. Hoping this can raise the concern of management and make proper improve. I will definitely return for what I like. But wanting to see better Aroma.

Wonderful food and service from Biagio, Laura and his team. Go and check them out.

Fabulous food and excellent service

Excellent ambiance, staff, food delicious... Our first proper date, couldnt have been better.

This is a lovely restaurant. Easily as good, it not better, than 2 other v popular Italian restaurants in Huddersfield which shall remain nameless (oh OK then, Da Sandro's and grappollos). Not cheap, but quality of food and drink is lovely. Good portions, friendly staff, lovely Limoncello. We'll definitely be back.

We a wonderful time at the Robbie Williams tribute meal and again to celebrate our Mama's 93rd birthday! Fabulous service and attention and amazing food at this lovely restaurant! Recommended!

Went for my wife's birthday. Service was a little slow but our party of 10 all enjoyed there food. Only complaint be careful if you have lobster ravioli. You will still be hungry as the portions were rather small

Brilliant food great service to not go back there is a shame loved every bit of the staff was as good and more then 5 stars u don't know what your missing get yours self down there bloody good xxxx

Good food - enjoyed the lasagne!

Friendly staff, great service, excellent good.

Absolutely stunning food, great environment.. Would absolutely recommend

Amazing food i will definitely go here again

We have been to the restaurant a few times now and every time it’s been amazing .. the staff are so welcoming and go above and beyond to accommodate you ..

Outstanding italian restaurant very good service and amazing food

Excellent food and great service. Our party of eight people were well impressed with the quality and choice of food, served by proficient waiting staff!

Greeted when we arrived, food came quickly because it was quiet. The food was delicious, all children were given complimentary sweets. The only criticism I had was that we were not acknowledged when we left.

Lovely food excellent friendly service

Fantastic as normal and staff a so lovely food is outstanding

Very nice food great service looking forward to eating there again 👍

Decent restaurant, very busy so not the best experience but I will definitely try them again
