La Cantina Direct in Calderdale

Been a couple of times and on both occasions the food and service were excellent. I had the lobster ravioli and it was totally delicious. My husband had meatballs and a pizza and he was very happy with them both. The waiter was lovely and the service was excellent. Can’t fault this place and looking forward to returning

Before entering the restaurant I looked at the menu outside, I saw something I wanted and ordered inside to takeaway. I ordered myself the Italian stallion burger… my partner also ordered something else… I waited 20 minutes for the order, left and then realised… they had given me a pizza… something spicy. Not my choice. So I went back in and they said they no longer did the burger however they had given me the ‘Italian stallion pizza’ but there is no such a pizza? On the menu or otherwise. So I left disappointed, hungry and £50 short. Honestly would look for other alternatives prior to considering returning.

First time going last night. Was very impressed. The food was very nice and the chef was even happy to accommodate changing some of the menu to get it exactly how I liked which I'm greatful for. The staff were extremely friendly and happy and willing to assist in any way they could. The only gripe I have is by the end of the night around 21:30 it felt like we're being pushed to leave even tho there was a party of 8 or so still behind us far from ready to leave.

Extremely slow service. Attended for a family meal in which a pre-order was requested from the restaurant, which was provided. It then took over an hour for less than half the people to get their starter (other half hadn't ordered starters). Then another hour wait for our main courses. Between courses the tables were cleared by a family member as the dirty pots were sat on the table. Then there was an issue with dessert orders and 2 desserts were missed. Overall spent 3 hours and 30 minutes at the venue, which is far too long for a meal. We booked at 4pm due to two toddlers coming and did not expect to only be leaving at 19:45 hours. Also paid £15.95 for a margarita pizza with a small bit of ham on, which seems a lot. Extremely disappointing and likely will not attend again.

Delicious food and exceptional service, whether going for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Ricci's will never disappoint. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauce had a fantastic depth of flavour and was balanced perfectly, didn't feel too heavy or overwhelming. The specials are always fantastic as well
