We had quite a mixed experience at Al Bivio, where we had to eat as the neighbouring Premier Inn had made a hash of their evening meal provision. We went on two occasions: an excellent pizza, with a generous home-made base, and a delicious pasta dish with chicken and white wine. However, from the Specials lists, a lasagne was quite tough, and my seafood risotto over-salty, though I would add that it was generously filled. A pet theme of mine: this restaurant is NOISY! Not one single absorbent surface anywhere, just a bare glass frontage and plain walls that reflect sound. Having a conversation in here feels like hard work.

Delicious food at a reasonable price. The waiters are so friendly and helpful. Its a few minutes walk from the premier inn. I had the salmon pasta (farfalle) the second night I had penne pasta with ham, mushrooms and cream both were delicious. I had an Irish coffee to finish and my friends had lemon tart , profiteroles and sicky toffee pudding they enjoyed them all.

Super attentive service, extensive menu and the best lasagne I’ve ever had . The team said “Made from scratch with love”. We ate it with love too! Outstanding food, super house wine and fair pricing. Premier inns loss and our gain!!! We’d recommend thoroughly. Thank you

Great substitute! The nearby Premier Inn, at the time of writing, has no evening restaurant service. This Italian restaurant saved the day. Warmly welcomed, has a sumptuous sounding menu - and the meal itself tasted delicious. The atmosphere was filled with the bright buzz of people enjoying a meal and drinks whilst sharing conversations. We liked it!

We love, love, love Italian cuisine. We were trying to kill a little time before checking in to the Premier Inn next door. We found this restaurant so popped in for a coffee. We were so impressed with the staff and surroundings we booked for our evening meal. We turned up on time and were greeted very warmly. The restaurant was very busy so this gave us reassurance. There were plenty of attentive staff who were well organised and friendly. The selection of food was sufficient and we opted for a shared starter and a pizza each. Finished off with the flavoursome white coffees. A 10% Service charge (optional) was already included in the bill so there was no need to tip. For the two of us the total was £60. This included a couple of additional drinks to finish the night. We left very satisfied with our choice. Highly recommend.

We were stopping across the road at the premiere inn their restaurant was closed so walked across to Al Bivio. Had a great meal, the staff were very attentive, atmosphere was great, best Italian I have had in a long time. I would recommend this place to anyone stopping in Harrogate.

We arrived at the Premier Inn next door to find their restaurant closed. Luckily for us Al Bivio was next door and called the restaurant to see if there was space for 3 of us. They were fully booked but they managed to make room for us. The service was exceptional when we arrived and the choice was great. Staff were attentive and the food was excellent. We had starters,mains and desserts plus drinks and was surprised to find how reasonable the cost was. I had the linguine mare(seafood linguine) and can honestly say it was the tastiest I have ever eaten. The mussels tasted fresh as too were the clams and king prawns and the sauce was so good. They rum soaked raisins with ice cream was delicious with real rum and plenty of it. A great place to eat with a good atmosphere. Well done to all the staff that made us feel welcome and provided a great service.

I organized this meal for 6 friends so chose a restaurant that judging by the website catered properly for vegans and could spell arrabbiata, which for some odd reason many Italian restaurtants can't. Everyone enjoyed their food, the service was excellent (apart from the first to arrive being shown to the wrong table and not realizing for 15 minutes that the rest of us were at the other side of the room), everything looked clean, but it was all hard surfaces - huge glass windows and wooden floors - so the room was echoey and it was difficult to hold a conversation. Even when the group of parents and children had left we could hear the voices of the people sitting a long way off. It's easy to find and close to the showground, the hospital and Stonefall Cemetery and I'd go again if in this part of the town but only if conversation wasn't expected. We were there from 5.30 pm to 7 pm on a Tuesday and there were very few people in.

Absolutely great evening. Went to celebrate a friend's birthday. I requested a dish which was not on the menu, but which I had recently eaten in Roma. They did it especially for me and it was superb 👌🏼 The test of my party had a variety of dishes which were all well enjoyed. Service attentive but not rushed. Prices reasonable. The restaurant is very close to Hornbeam Park railway station. Also, bus routes in easy reach. All in all 10/10

We met as a family celebrating my son’s birthday and were certainly not disappointed. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and we felt very relaxed and didn’t feel we were hurried into rushing our meal which I often find in some big chains. The food is excellent and a wide choice to cater for anybody’s needs but was all fresh and the child’s meals were very substantial and they loved it. My only suggestion is either sharper knives for pizza cutting or using a pizza cutter as it was quite difficult to cut through, however this is just such a minor issue and we will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family

Lovely food. We’d read the portions were big so only had a main course and it was easily enough. We both had pizzas that were excellent. Car park right outside . We booked on the day and the restaurant was busy so we’d advise doing that. Service was friendly and efficient and the food came quickly. The only negative we had was the music in the restaurant was very loud & relentless. Made holding a conversation difficult. Such a shame as the rest was absolutely great.

What a fabulous place to meet and eat with friends and family! A broad menu of genuinely lovingly prepared italian food. The pride of everyone on the staff in their place of work and the quality of the food is evident from the moment you arrive. Customers of all ages are made to feel welcome and there is a constant stream of repeat visitors who seem to be on first name terms with the team. The peperoncini ripieni were a delicious start to the evening, followed by the lightest and crispiest pizza I've had in many a month. Suffice it to say that getting the small things right like excellent ingredients and a passion for their product ends up with something rather special. I shall definitely be returning with family soon!

This was the second occasion that I have dined in this Italian restaurant - .the previous visit was when I was last in Harrogate about four years ago. The restaurant itself was unchanged as was the menu and the service. I can only speak for myself of course - I was very .disappointed.with the food. The Minestrone soup was, for me, insipid; the liver was tough; the desert far from memorable.

My wife and I went for lunch prior to the Harrogate "Flower" show (another story).A very modern yet typical Italian restaurant with welcoming friendly and very efficient staff. Excellent warm bread with tapinade and olives (all complimentary). First class wine and soft drinks list at reasonable prices. We opted for main course and dessert only and the delivery of the food was very quick. The food itself was of the very highest quality - succulent prawns on a salad bed (varied leaves, fennel, chillies and tomatoes still on the vine) and ravioli stuffed with lobster and crab meat - absolutely faultless. Desserts were cheesecake (with mango ice cream) and tiramisu both superb. Finally, the best coffee I've had in a long time. All of this at a very reasonable price. If we lived in Harrogate this would be a regular for us, I wish it were in Newcastle. Thoroughly recommended.

Warm and attentive service, bread, olives and tapenade as you enter...it actually feels NORMAL, with busy tables and lots of chit chat! My calamari starter was HUGE, pizza lovely - no soggy bits and well covered with toppings. Hubby’s lasagne was (in the words of ‘hairy biker’ Dave Myers ‘unctuous’ and full of cream - we ordered chips too, which - while lovely! - weren’t necessary, as we were full!

Countless work lunches, dinner out with friends and family, and just popping in for a takeout coffee. It's always great, and the staff are really lovely.I was concerned when I went vegan about a year ago that their menu doesn't really cater for it, but I enquired and they are able to make so many of their dishes vegan - including the pizza, so it's meant I can keep frequenting this fantastic establishment.

Dined here today.So, at first the waiter seemed to rush us a bit, not setting the best feel. Complimentary bread olives and anchovy/pesto dip veey nice. Then we had aubergine and arancini starters which were both delicious. The waiter didnt have his nose covered by his mask which put me off a bit but we ordered the beef and lobster raviolis which were the best I have ever tasted. We shared a bottle of wine which was nice and we finished with the lemon tart and tiramisu. We both thought the food was fantastic, I just felt the place lacked a little warmth/italian charm. Good location close to premier inn and train stop

We had some friends staying in Harrogate for a few days and so we invited them to Bivio’s. They live in Cambridge and they said it was the best Italian meal they have had outside of Italy!!! We live about one hours drive away but its well worth the drive.The food and staff are always excellent. Nothing too much trouble. One of our favourite places to eat.

Great place and staff, fitted us in without a booking earlier in week. Food was excellent as was the bottled Italian Beer. Will be on our list for a return trip to Harrogate in the future.Stayed sat PI next door but their lack of beer tempted us to AlBivo - so glad we visited, a lovely night.

This booking was very last minute but they wer very accommodating. A fantastic meal. Food quality unsurpassed. The staff the most friendly and helpful of all the places we have been. If you do not go anywhere else, go to Bivio.

This is my favourite restaurant in Harrogate and it is definitely the most underrated. I have been coming here for 10 years and can honestly say I have never had anything less than an excellent meal each time. Danielle and the team are nothing short of exceptional I cannot rate this resteraunt and wonderful staff higher. Please keep doing what you do :)

As it is situated just across the road from the Premier Inn, we decided to wander across for something to eat at about 5.30 pm. It was fully booked but they could fit us in if we could vacate the table before 7.45pm. I must say that this was the best Italian meal we have had in a long time. Everything was cooked to our liking. I had the Calamari to start with and my wife had the Bruscetta. My main course was Salmon fillet with prawns in a creamy sauce and it was absolutely delicious. My wife had the King Prawns which had a little too much salad for my liking but she enjoyed it no end. Would recommend this restaurant for the food and the friendly service from the staff

Our last meal before lockdown was at Bivio’s and today our first meal out was at Bivio’s. So so pleased to be back, as usual everything was excellent, it was if we had never been away. Staff are always so attentive here and cant do enough for you and the food is always superb!! Felt very comfortable and safe with distancing rules and sanitizers all in place.

Lovely find, really attentive staff and food was delicious I was very impressed. Menu in Italian but you understood what ingredients were so didn’t feel that I couldn’t order what I wanted.

A very good and very busy restaurant. In a strange place (for a restaurant), even opens at 8.00 in the morning. That said the food is invariably good and reasonably priced. We've been a few times now and have got to know some of the staff - very friendly and attentive. However, if you are looking for a cosy, quiet, intimate atmosphere sort restaurant then Al Bivio is not for you.

Havent been here for a quite few months but was surprised by the fact it was half empty on a Saturday night at half term .It was always packed when the previous owners had it.Also completely gobsmacked by the hike in prices £20 for a pizza ,£6 for a pint of beer and £8 for a pudding!! No wonder it wasnt busy .Also the previous owners always used to have a wood fire burning but whenever Ive been here since it's always chilly. Food is ok but nothing to write home about -the pizzas have hardly any toppings on them even when you order extras so a pretty easy way to make a vast profit on a pizza. Its such a shame as it is the only restaurant in Pateley so youre stuck with it as the only option if you dont want pub grub.

A lovely meal under the happy hour offer - starter and pizza for £14. Excellent value and pizzas were huge! Lovely food and very good service. Staff very pleasant. Would definitely recommend especially mon-Thur when the offers are on as would struggle to get same quantity and quality of food for same price elsewhere.

Best Italian restaurant in Harrogate by a long way. We've tried it both as a Friday night romantic dinner and a Sunday lunch, and it never disappoints.
