La Cantina44 Restaurant in Leeds

The service was not good as my partners dish was sent to another table by mistake so had my dish taken back till we had them both together the Moussaka was salty and we then got the wrong bill by mistake which was £50 more good job we checked it first the manager did give us free dessert but it did not make up for the mistakes it use to be a really nice restaurant at one time very disappointing will not go back again

Always lovely food,service and value for money....if you haven't tried this place yet i strongly recommended you do!!

Been a regular for around 6 years. Always great food and service. Love the Melanzane Parmigiana. Keep an eye on the specials board too. Mixed veg side is so fresh and perfectly cooked.

Brilliant food, very helpful/friendly staff.

If I could give 10 stars I would. We all loved it so much we are booked in for Xmas day here 👍👍👍👍👍

The food is good. My experience tonight, well. All ok apart from a very large crack in the dish ! ! ! This was changed with an apology. Before leaving I challenged the staff again apologies. Approached the Boss, then the dishwasher got the blame. So the Chef’s blinde, the waiter’s blinde, ??. Never take the paying customer for an idiot. I just happen to hold supervisory qualifications in food hygiene. They don’t realise the consequences of poor hygiene. This is all I’ll say on this.

Fabulous food, really attentive and friendly service, couldn't fault it

Had a lovely evening here, servers were very sweet and attentive especially the lady with the dark hair☺️ food was very nice, our compliments to the chefs

Lovely service, great food. Fun and friendly atmosphere. Two courses for £18.95 and the pollo pesto was absolutely exquisite. Highly recommend!

Really nice food and very good atmosphere

I recently revisited La Cantina after years of not going, and I was pleasantly reminded of how wonderful it is. I've been there twice in the past few weeks, and each visit reinforced my appreciation for this restaurant. The service and atmosphere were fantastic, the food was delicious, and I was pleased to find Slimming World-friendly options on the menu. The staff were very accommodating in customizing orders to fit Slimming World requirements. I regret not returning sooner, but I will definitely be going back soon.

It's been a while since I visited after an average meal even though it is almost on my doorstep.I was pleasantly surprised with the two courses I had on this visit, the starter and main was very well presented and tasted delicious. The waiter could have let me know sooner that a side I had ordered was not available rather than leaving it until he brought my meal, apart from that it was wonderful. I will return.

1st time customers as been recommended to us. Brilliant night, food excellent...hot very well presented & delicious. Staff very attentive & friendly atmosphere amazing. Worth every penny we spent. Definitely going back.

I've been here a good few times and it's very good.Good location,prices are reasonable, I highly recommend it.

TL;DR: decent starter and pasta mains, but pizza was very poor. Service was friendly and attentive: 5* for that. Decent atmosphere: 4*, maybe 5*. J wouldn't recommend against going here, but definitely don't get pizzas. Full version: a mixed bag. My starter (melazane parmigiana) was really very decent, and a huge portion. Another in my party had mussels, which he really enjoyed. I had a pizza (rustica) for main, but, unfortunately, it was very low quality. Even visually, it was obvious when it came. Looks like they don't have a proper pizza oven? The others in my party enjoyed their main (salmon pasta and lobster ravioli), but I'm reviewing mine, hence 3*. One of us asked the others, "Is it good?" I was like, "Meh, not amazing." He said, "Yeah, looks bad." The other two mains looked good, though!

Been here a few times and has always been great food, service and atmosphere. Maybe just a hiccup on my last visit but came away disappointed.

Best place to dine out in Crossgates!

Had a party there, my fillet steak was not done as I ordered, it was well done and I ordered medium. Plus no vegetables with it, and all others were the same. Otherwise, had a good time and well looked after.

Everything about la cantina is wonderful. The staff are accommodating, the food is wonderful, the drinks are flowing and the atmosphere is full.

Great food, very accommodating. Went on spec and they found us a table despite the fact it was busy. Mainly had seafood, and it was delicious.

We went to celebrate my birthday, Lovely staff & great food.

I didn't eat there, it was my wife's work night out, I was on pickup duty! The parking is dreadful But I am reliable informed that the food and service were excellent.

For a mid week unexpected treat. It was very busy and very good.

When I told the waiter I hadn’t decided what I wanted yet he waited at the table for me to decide which put me under pressure to pick something fast. The risotto I had as my main was very nice. Unfortunately what let it down was the starter. I ordered calamari but got served that frozen squid that you buy big bags of in the supermarket. I know because I’ve bought it before. Rubbery and over cooked. Will not be returning.

Went for a Date night with my partner for a meal first time we've been here , & honestly can say food was lovely I had the spaghetti bolognese & my partner had a calzone , service was great very friendly atmosphere, will be calling again sometime ☺️

Food is excellent. Very noisy room.

A Lovely place to visit and the food fantastic.

Sent an enquiry on there website contact us page around a month ago still waiting for a answer unfortunately

I'm gluten free and there wasn't much on the menus for me which was disappointing. And i felt the waiter wasn't bothered about telling me what I could eat .

Been many times ,go to place as always good food busy on a weekend quiet during the week staff are great would recommend trying even if it's only once

Great little local restaurant for a date night x

Had a lovely evening. Food was delicious. The staff looked after us and did not rush through the meal.

We will definitely be returning! The creme brulee was outstanding! Staff and service also brilliant,thanks for a memorable evening 😊

Absolutely amazing meal today to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday! Food and service was brilliant, and I was looked after wanting gluten free, with the exception of the bread... I really do wish places were geared up better to just have a simple bread roll in the freezer that could be warmed up for occasionally diners, it's not difficult (I'm OK with cross contamination), which drops the place to 4* for food. Everyone else really enjoyed every part of the meal, and it would not stop us from returning.

Food was brilliant, service extremely polite but not in false way, we were just feeling like in big Italian home enjoying homemade Italian food, so don't expect standard plain taste like in other popular restaurants. Looking forward our next visit.

We had a family meal here. The food and service was great even though there was about 40 of us!

The service and atmosphere were great. Food is nice too.

Great food and great service, waiting staff take the time to make jokes and create a rapport with each table, family birthday was a success, will see you again soon.

Our first experience dining here was delightful! Every step of the way ; booking and the end of the meal was perfected by the personable service from every single member of staff including the owner! Took my mother in law for her birthday and they even prepared a birthday sign on the wall, good wine and delicious , very generous portion of food! So well done and thank you for everything! Have no doubt recommending La Cantina! Thank you again! We'll definitely return.

Very nice food and good service.

Delicious food and top service. Absolutely faultless!

You can always be guaranteed fantastic food and excellent service.

I have sent a booking request twice through there website now and have not had a reply back both times

Always lovely when we go here. Food was delicious. Staff nice and friendly. We arrived about 15 mins early for our booking and they let us sit down earlier which was nice. Definitely recommend booking a table.

Thank you, excellent food and service. Happily recommend.

Prices are great and the food was delicious. Amazing staff and a great experience. Booking again for a few week.

Came here yesterday for my grandma’s birthday. The food was delicious as always and the service was outstanding. The waiters were really friendly and made the evening a lovely night. Could not recommend this place enough.

Fabulous evening, staff are so welcoming and attentive to the customers. Food stunning. Highly recommended.

After a little mix-up trying to book online, we got a table on Saturday. It was really busy, but staff were still attentive and provided a good service. Food was good for the price, and it might not be super authentic but still tasty. I had the Pasta Al Forno, which was a creamy cheesy bake with bits of everything. Imagine a meat feast pizza in pasta form. Just what was required on a cold and damp evening. Atmosphere on the night wasn't brilliant, but through no real fault of the restaurant, just happened to be 3 tables celebrating birthdays. All in all, it's a decent place to eat, we haven't been in years despite living 3 streets away, but we'll be sure to be back soon.

Lovely local restaurant, the food is good, the portions are generous and the staff and the ambiance are so welcoming.

I was there for my works Christmas party and we normally have a great time. However for some reason something "Special" was missing this time. The food and staff were excellent as always but the atmosphere was a little "Off." Will be going back though as I'm sure it was just a one off.

Extremely friendly staff (I imagine it's the restaurant where you would go to regularly if you lived locally) Atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend

Great atmosphere lovely food. We will be back. Been back still as good as before

we went to get food they told us to wait for a table was very rude then after 20 minutes of waiting they still didnt get a seat so we left

Love this place, great food with great staff

Absolutely delicious food. For the quality of food the prices are amazing value. Service was excellent and friendly

This is a local restaurant for us, and is very popular. You always get a friendly welcome from all staff. Food portions are good and piping hot. When it is busy the noise levels are high, but that would be in any popular restaurant. If you are celebrating a birthday a small surprise awaits along with staff singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Just like any other italian restaurant.

Just been for first time tonight,we were seated and placed our order our menus were taken away and I noticed they were wiped and cleaned straight away ( very nice ) ,our starter arrived an anti pastor misto beautiful and we shared this ,I had my favourite chicken pollo superma with veg and i also had chips ( but there were roast pots with veg )my partner had a calzone with potatas brava, ABSOLUTLEY FABULOUS this was our first visit but it definatly won't be our last .

Delicious food, resonable prices and fabulous service.

Lovely food will go again. Nice staff.

Excellent food and great service

Little cozy restaurant with kind service and good food

Birthday meal with the family on a Saturday night in August. We prebooked a table by phone. We arrived and were led to our table immediately. Good menu, Mediterranean food, fair pricing, tasty food which was presented very nicely, good size portions, good variety of drinks available. The service was spot on and the restaurant is very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend.

What a place. The owner is such a friendly man and made my dads birthday great. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere fit the occasion. I had chicken in peppercorn sauce and every bit was like it was the first. Amazing.

I have eaten here a number of times and the service is outstanding and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food great service good atmosphere would definitely return 3 courses each good price too

Very nice meal and very nice staff. Reasonably priced.

Really nice food and excellent service had a good vibe, quite busy

Local restaurant. Good food and value.

Visited for the first time on Sunday 13th Feb Food was beautiful Service was exceptional Great atmosphere and super friendly And all at a very low cost Cant wait for my next visit Thanks guys ! Will be back soon

First time visiting for mums 60th birthday. Best lasagne I've ever had! Very generous portions. Chocolate fudge cake was beautiful❤ Lovely atmosphere, had a really amazing evening. Staff were welcoming and really friendly. Would highly recommend :)

The meal and atmosphere were both.lovely. Great staff and service.

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing & the staff are so lovely. My favourite restaurant by far.😁

My first visit was for a birthday meal on the 5th Feb. The food and service were superb, the staff were friendly, eager to chat with patrons. Am looking forward to more visits next time I'm over.

Went for early bird, delicate, flavoursome food. Good value for money. Staff, as always, welcoming and friendly.

First visit to this restaurant but definitely not the last!! Took my daughter to celebrate her graduati g with a First Class Honours Degree & wasn't disappointed. Staff all very friendly and service 1st rate. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. I'd recommend booking for slots after 7pm as it was busy which saus a lot for the place. They do a great value "Early Bird" menu up until 7pm too. Summary: fantastic experience & a place I'll be visiting again.

Very good food, attentive staff and reasonable prices, hope to visit more often now restrictions are eased.

Lovely staff. Food excellent. Thanks for a great night.

Took our staff for a meal 4th January, we had a fantastic evening Food excellent as always Service excellent Reasonably priced Waiters were great fun Highly recommended

A mixed review for Xmas day . Very accommodating with making a custom dish again for Xmas day and party of 9 seated on Xmas day reduced to 6 in the restaurant and 3 being changed to takeaway (due to covid) Food over all ok but not special which we'd hoped for at 70 quid a head . Felt let down by My Steak being 75% gristle My Father in law who ate in had the same issue and left his so ended up sharing some turkey and the mains not (for the takeaway) served with any potato's? We ordered separate fries to go with a Pizza but my main dish had none . Just a Portion of veg - green beans , cabbage , carrots and sprouts to go with the gristle and thumb size bit of steak that was edible .

Great food, great service. Been here multiple times and never had a bad experience

Never had a bad meal here, it was lovely as usual. Staff also so friendly and really good with the kids

Meal was OK but didn't get veg with meal. Staff seemed unorganised and reflected in service.

Was running late on a very busy night but they held my table , staff were brilliant , food was outstanding , have great knowledge of allergies as my partner is a coeliac and was told that they can make most meals to suit , vast gine library , peronie on draught , couldn't ask for more , brilliant
