Amici in Leeds

Service was online and food the same

First time visiting and probably the last, found it expensive for what you got, the ministrone soup was tasteless more like a watery veg soup (£10) the chicken and salad was ok (£22) but nothing special, didn’t have any veg on principle (£5) per portion , the bill for 2 was just over £70,service charge added.

Friday 8th November. Table for four, 8.30pm. Great choice. As the menu began to unfold via plates being ushered to other tables, it was quickly apparent that italy is right at home here in Alwoodley. I had spare ribs to start. Tender, melt-in-the-mouth ribs, with oozing sauce and delicately layered flavour obtainable only from long, slow ovens of deep affection and respect for food. I chose Pizza Calabrese, which was superb. All four of us were really happy with our choices across starters and mains. Add to that the exceptional House Red, the (never before seen in a restaurant in England) Peroni Doppio Malto beer, and the homely friendship of ALL the staff, and you're onto a winner here. I urge you in the most respectful terms to go to Amici to appreciate fully what a short review like this cannot possibly hope to truly convey.

Family and friends had a dinner experience together, 21 of us. The serving staff were brilliant. Attentive and personable. The choice of menu is amazing and very tasty, plentiful and hot.

This is an amazing Italian restaurant. We went here as a large group for my birthday. I had bruschetta for starter and carbonara for main. Both meals were excellent. The chefs always do food to a very high standard. The atmosphere is stunning, very bright and modern. The staff are always extremely friendly and go above and beyond to make your night special. They were great with my little boy and didn't charge for his juice or his dessert. Ive been a fan of this restaurant for many years and I have never had a bad meal or experience. I will continue to recommend this beautiful restaurant!

We went for a family meal with 2 young boys and can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are so accommodating and friendly and really go out of their way with the kids. The menu has lots of options and you can order any pizza or pasta dish as a kids portion. It's definitely an up market restaurant and not cheap but absolutely worth the money for a special occasion. The food came quickly and was delicious, and first class service. The desserts were also incredible, the best tiramasu! Will definitely be returning here

Outstanding and authentic Italian, with super friendly service. Impossible to fault. Discovered it while the FP was being refurbed, and it's sooo much better. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely service in this comfortable restaurant. Pizzas were good, lasagne ok, puddings excellent. Pleasant lighting and reasonable spacing between the tables.

Food was so good. We eat all of what we ordered. The staff helped me to avoid any food that could be contaminated with pork professionally.

Don't even think about going here, unless you want very expensive and mediocre food. Abysmal choice for coeliacs (myself) small portions, all sides are extra, drinks are expensive and the Rose' wine was either poor quality or 'diluted'. There were eight of us in a party to mark our granddaughter's graduation ceremony. Other than us the place was empty - perhaps everyone else knew what we didn't - the owner should be called 'Senior' Dick Turpin' we eat Italian food when holidaying in Italy, and have a genuine Italian restaurant in our home town, so we do have some experience of genuine Italian food.

Genuinely think the front of house couldn’t have given a better service. Very kind to be able to take special request for seating for 6 people on a booking made for on the same day for 6pm. Very patient and didn’t feel like we were being rushed to finish and leave the table despite it getting busier and busier. Really great service and super accommodating. Food was also awesome but leaving the review for high standards of hospitality and friendliness and professionalism!

My Sistee had the Ministrone soup & I had the starter Frittamisto. My sister had a pasta dish & I had the Rideye steak. I ordered 2 side dishes of roast potatoes & peas done with bacon & onion. For dessert my sister had the chocolate type volcano & I had the raspberry meringue . All the food was delicious although a little expensive. My bill was £74.50 & my Sisters around £55 & we both had 1 Malibu & Coke each. I would rather pay extra for good quality food than cheaper food which isn’t very good

Great Italian Food on Harrogate Road If you're looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience, this restaurant on Harrogate Road comes highly recommended. Ambience and Service Arriving around 7 PM, we were promptly seated. The restaurant boasts exquisite decor and a welcoming ambience. From the moment we walked in until we left, the service was flawless. Starters We began with three starters: Tempura Prawns, Avocado Crab Tian, and Gamberoni Marechiaro. Each dish was perfect. The Gamberoni sauce was beautifully seasoned, the tempura batter was just right, and the Crab Tian was well balanced and seasoned. **Main Courses:** For the main course, we ordered the Fish Feast Platter for one (which could easily serve 1.5 people), Carbonara, and Linguine Pescatore. All three dishes were beautifully prepared and delicious. Value Although the restaurant is on the expensive side, the quality of food and overall dining experience make it well worth the price. Recommendation I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Italian cuisine

The ministrone soup was odd water with floating veg including broccoli. The mains were poorly cooked with stodgy pizza base.. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere despite being half empty. Sadly the quality of the food means we will never go back

Superb food and service. We visited at lunch time mid week so it was quiet . Can highly recommend

Went on a weekday evening without booking. The meal was fine, but not exceptional, and when you compare it to other Italian restaurants, overpriced for the quality. House wine over a tenner for 250ml glass, decent Linguine alla Carbonara £17, nice Zucchini Fritti £5. Good but not great, Cena in Guiseley does it better for less.

Rang up, asked to book, the guy was incredibly rude said they were booked then just hung up, incredibly rude, wouldn’t bother ever going

I've been here a few times. Always great service and lovely food

Very welcoming stuff with nice service. Price is above average for the area, but it is worthy to try.

Food and service was very good, nice wines too!

It’s a lovely restaurant . Food and kitchen team was brilliant , they greeted me when I walked in even though they were in the kitchen which was nice. Our waiter was nice , but after serving the main courses they didn’t check , that was probably having the rush at 7:00pm. Other than that it was lovely . Value was reasonable . We will come again. Thank you

Food was ok but has a long way to go to rival Buon Apps in Otley or Picolo at Picolina in the Springs. I was disappointed with the choice of beers. Why no Ichnusa or other non filtrata beers?

Love freshly cooked to order seafood, ordered the GRAN FRITTO DI PESCE CON ZUCCHINE starter - £16 (Deep fried calamari, prawns, scallops with zucchini and tartar sauce) the only thing done well was the halfed scallops. Calamari tough with batter falling off, tiny prawns, presentation good though. Mains of Resotto frutti di mare - £18 overcooked grilled Tiger prawns, mussels tough and withered before placing back into shells, Calamari ditto to starter. Couldn't taste the chilli. Mentioned to waiter, nothing done about it. Cook much better at home. Hard to hear conversation across the table due to high noise levels. Churning out fast food, fancy prices, might be OK for a Pizza and a fashionable place to be seen but expect higher standards on a £241 bill for four of us.

Very disappointed with the food. We spent 5 weeks in Italy including Sicily last year so I suppose our expectations were high. The arancini lacked flavour and was tiny compared to the ones we had in Sicily, the porcini mushrooms in the pasta were probably frozen - their texture was soggy and lacked the lovely porcini flavour of fresh/dried ones. There was a lot of boring tomato sauce on the pasta, the ravioli could have been from the supermarket again drowned in tomato sauce. The goats cheese salad was the best thing we ordered - really tasty. The service was excellent and the Atmosphere was great.

Friendly service and lovely food. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

I am a regular at Amici and the food and staff never disappoint.The standard is consistently high and nothing is too much trouble. The tomato garlic bread is a family favourite and we always know we are in for a treat when we come to Amici. Thank you for putting aubergine parmigiana on the Special's menu,it was worth the wait!

Came here tonight for Valentine’s Day and we both loved it! The food was beautiful, the service fantastic and the atmosphere exactly what we like. The seafood risotto and lasagna were absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be back, a real gem of a place!

Fantastic place to go for an Italian. Staff are great and the food is always lovely.

What a great place with amazing food, especially the seafood! Aĺl served by friendly staff

Fantastic food and great service. Friendly staff. Our new favourite Italian restaurant.

Love this place - good great, near home and staff friendly and accommodating xx

Called in for lunch and had two pasta dishes and two cokes which came to £45 My daughter had been previously with an office outing with her 3 year old daughter & observed her daughter’s dish at the time seemed bigger than my main dish. I had the Cavatelli which was highly average and seemed more starter size than main course size so not impressed. Was initially looking forward to a genuine Italian meal but won’t be returning any time soon.

Excellent ambience, food and service we celebrated my brother's birthday and we had an amazing experience.

Great authentic Italian. Loved everything about it -staff, menu ambience. Nicest Italian I’ve been to outside Italy for quite a few years.

One of my fave places locally to eat. Always a great atmosphere. The service is top notch and the food is superb.

Always a great time with amazing food and staff

Good food. Busy place. Service was good.

Great restaurant with amazing options for those with dietary requirements that most restaurants don't cater to.

What an awesome place, It’s difficult to find a decent place these days, genuine attentive staff, very good food and a nice atmosphere.

Absolutely Amazing! This is truly a hidden gem tucked away in North Leeds. The food was divine, perfectly made, the service was brilliant. The atmosphere was amazing. We were served by Darren, who is an asset to the establishment. Very cheerful, he truly embodied "service with a smile". I thoroughly recommend this resturant!

Fantastic quality food, and excellent service in a lovely place. Highly recommended.

Lovely local Italian. Great service

Been a number of times for family celebrations in groups of between 2 and 8 people. Food always good quality prepared and served by friendly staff. Never disappointed.

A very kind gentleman works there Thank you for your friendly service I was just passing through the area I took the takeway But I will definitely come back to eat the tasty food inside !!!

Highly recommend this restaurant, staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great meal. Will always come back

To have a birthday booking, confirm your attendance and be turned away with a cake in hand and told to go elsewhere all because they decided they now wanted an early finish? Fair to say I will NOT be back. There was no courtesy, customer service or hospitality whatsoever. Never again.

It didn't live up to my expectations. Only a couple of tables were occupied when we were dining, and I felt like the staff was constantly watching me, so it made me uncomfortable. The food was quite mediocre for an Italian restaurant, the goat's chese salad barely had any green leaves so the balance was lost, the fillet was not very tender and the side fries had a funny tastel from the oil they have been fried in. The mushroom risotto was nice, though.

Always wonderful food and service, one of my absolute favourite places to eat on a special occasion 🇮🇹💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great restaurant picked it off Google maps as we were in the area. Absolutely loved it.

First time visiting on Saturday night with my mum & partner and it was delicious! Service was great, busy restaurant and was seated right near the kitchen so could watch them cook too! Really enjoyable evening & great food😍

Really excellent food. First time here but won’t be the last.

Me and my family on friday 28th july visited Amici for an evening together, really great and friendly service and yummy food very recommended. I personally ordered a duck brest with a potato purè and my family a beautiful see food risotto a chicken salad and a personalized capricciosa pizza all absolutely gorgeous 😍

Probably the most amazing Italian food I've ever eaten! Lasagne, Risotto, Pizza, all perfect.

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Attentive staff. Would struggle to think of a better Italian restaurant outside of Rome! 😍

Wonderful local Italian restaurant. Great service and great food

Delicious good quality food and really friendly service

Another amazing experience! Sea food starter, real deal carbonara, proper ground coffee to finish. Service in high level, excellent food, fantastic selection of wine. Thank you Amici. See you soon !

Great atmosphere and even greater food. Delicious options on the menu, we tried all the meat ones, and they were at the exact point of cooking. The desserts are delicious with special mention for the ice cream. The staff was super punctual coming at the right time. All in all, 5 stars!

Food always fabulous - great fish or meat and excellent service- friendly and efficient.

Just been here for a girlie catch up and the atmosphere and food were lovely. Would highly recommend!

Very nice food and service the hospitality of the staff was above and beyond . Excellent all round . Will be returning.

Have been here several times before and really enjoyed it. Last nights meal was remarkably underwhelming. Calamari in the starter was chewy, the batter tasteless. The margarita pizza, the staple of any Italian restaurant was flat, lifeless and overcooked. The white wine was ok but was served without a wine cooler so had to ask for one. Overall we enjoyed the experience due to the people we were however the food was very average.

A lovely environment but unfortunately my steak arrived cold and undercooked. Slightly disappointed as this was an expensive meal but might come back again.

Nice modern restaurant came with mom best 78 bands, drinks where asked to quickly after sitting down but service was friendly and professional. Views are onto a parking lot. The chairs were sturdy no wobbly tables and atmosphere was relaxed and not busy. The starter was shared amongst me and my date we had the bruschetta, which was a selection of bruschetta with the original tomatoes and pesto, another one with a warm cheese and bacon bits, which was unorthodox, but delicious, and another one was also with pesto. The house one was on the sweeter side but came cold and was okay for the price for means I had the lasagna Romagna, which came out still Bubbly and hot, but looking at details. The plate was spinning on the table as in it was not fully resting so you would have to spin it or hold the plate down to get a spoon or fork full. My mother said the risotto was good but she’s from Tuscany but she found it good for the price. another small detail would be in the bathroom. The toilet flushing equipment was protruding was not stuck to the wall some screws had fallen. It was swivelling. Otherwise, the experience was good, but could be made better by minor improvements.

The food was Brill. The service is great. Atmosphere is very good

Saturday night. Booked for 7pm. Excellent service. Food great. Big portions. Small downside - too noisy

Service wasnt great at all, being bumped and banged into by the waiters constantly. The food was well cooked and tasty on the whole.

Staff are very helpful. Good options, and nice food! Very accommodating for vegans.

A truly wonderful experience, the food is absolutely delicious and truly authentic I can say hand on heart the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at ! The service was impeccable , thanks for a unbelievable meal and experience we will certainly be back.

The food was delicious I shall be going back soon

Great fresh. Italian food, we ordered fish platter and was excellent. Pasta, Pizza and steaks are excellent with a great choice of specials on the menu. Super atmosphere and great staff and service Led by Umberto with new head chef and Julio in the kitchen.

Very nice serving of food :) You guys are really good

The food was of exceptional quality, service was great and the atmosphere was buzzing. Being a valentines day service, it was very busy, but managed exceptionally well. The food was served efficiently and was still very hot when it reached the table. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely place. Perfect service. Very tasty food. Parking available. I recommend this place.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. 10/10.

Brill atmosphere, very welcoming staff, good food, authentic Italian feel

Taken as guests visiting from Dubai by our friends from near to Amici The atmosphere and ambience is well done and the service good Food was overall good Reason I hold back from 5* is the price. I travel the world a lot and though this restaurant is very good, in my experience it's priced a bit above it's real position However, highly recommended

The food and service is excellent. I had a fish stew, which was stunningly good. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous food and service. Will return soon!

Needed lunch after our Emmerdale tour, I went on TripAdvisor for nearby options, Amici came up as a nearby option, about 4 miles, seemed like good reviews so we went. Very pleased we did, food was lovely, service was fab, friendly and quick and staff so helpful and nice, would definitely come again if I was in the area.

First time there, Pizza was first class, Pasta Arrabiata perfect. Dessert was yummy also. Sorry, evidence was eaten before any photos were/ could be taken.

The vegetarian selection is seriously lacking- especially given its location. Even if you're pescatarian your options aren't great. The menu is clearly designed by a meat lover, as the few vegetarian and fish dishes on offer are for the most part, standard and uninteresting which doesn't reflect the prices charged for them. The food is well cooked for the most part, and the service is good, but the experience overall lacks the wow factor that you'd expect from a restaurant at that price point. It's okay and I'd go back if somebody wanted to, but I wouldn't rush back myself. The menu really needs reviewing in terms of none meat options because its genuinely disappointing. I'd probably fork out an extra couple of pounds a head and go to San Carlos- there's more options and the food and dining experience is better.

Incredibly expensive, incredibly good.

I ordered seafood linguine. I forgot to check if all the seafood was shelled. It was not so I asked (politely) if the restaurant could shell it for me (so messy otherwise). They said ‘no’ as the chefs were “too busy”. How strange that the chefs are too busy to help their customers.

Friendly staff Good service and food

Been here on more than one occasion. The atmosphere is good, proper traditional restaurant with Waiters who want to be there and really care. Food is excellent.

As our local restaurant I have always been too lazy to review! However tonight was excellent- usual warm greetings from all the staff -great bustle for a Tuesday Asked waiter for pasta fagioli soup( not on tonight’s menu)- he said not available- but chef sorted me out- what a man!😀( it was superb) wife had a generous bruschetta ( enjoyed) and we both had the salmon ( unbelievable sized portion( great taste and great value)plus zucchini, peas and very full side salad Gooseberry and Apple treacle crumb tart ( of course- yummy) to share plus cappuccino s to finish Can’t be bettered in north leeds!

Always a great experience. Good food and wonderful atmosphere.

Always very good. Staff are so friendly and food is excellent

The service was good but I was not impressed with the pizzas at all! They are tasteless and simply not nice considering the price which is very expensive for what you get

Friendly welcome, perfectly timed attention, food was superb, although the alcohol in the Tiramisu could have been stronger. It was extremely noisy, couldn't hear each other speak, so was glad to get out to go home. But would go again for the food and service.

Great food and great service as always. Genuine italian through and through. Will be returning yet again.

Went for a late lunch on a Sunday, three adults and a baby. From the moment we walked in the service was superb, very friendly, courteous and professional. Getting warm water for the baby’s bottle was no problem. The food was wonderful (I can highly...

Our first visit tonight and we all absolutely loved it. A truly authentic Italian, with amazing service, friendly staff, great atmosphere and fantastic food. Please give this place a try if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Leeds. The food is mouth wateringly good and the service is impeccable.

Amazing service, tasty foods. Friendly staff.

The food was delicious. The people who work there were very nice and welcoming. The service was high level. The restaurant was spotless .
