La Grande in Leeds

Ate here last night as a group of 7 celebrating a birthday. As soon as we arrived we were given a warm welcome and shown to our table, the server gave us a bit of time to get seated & comfortable before taking our drinks order, we were then given a bit of time to go over the menu. Between us, we ordered seven starters, seven mains and two desserts. I had the mushroom starter and spaghetti carbonara for my main, both of which were delicious but the mushrooms were definitely my favourite… I am already looking forward to having them again at some point! Some other things ordered by our party were pizza, lasagna, the mozzarella starter and the antipasto misto, everyone else was as equally impressed with the food as I was. I aloe thought the prices we very good especially considering the portion sizes of the main meals! As well as the food been fantastic, I must say that the decor is really lovely, very clean and had a really nice atmosphere. The service was impeccable and nothing was any trouble to them, they were all very polite, friendly and relaxed. I felt everything was really well timed the drinks and food came promptly but I felt we were given enough time and not rushed at all. We really could not find fault with anything and we will definitely be back and recommending everyone give it a try.

We visited at the start of December. A few simple mistakes were made, from getting drinks completely wrong to missing things off our food order. The restaurant felt very cold. Me and my family ended up eating our food with our coats on. The food on the whole was good. We would consider coming back in summer when it's warmer.

Really enjoyed the time spent at La Grande Good service ,lovely food ! Definitely will be back for summer time as they have the conservatory roof which will be lovely for summer !

Visited here with friends for a catch up and easy to eat food. This was an excellent choice. The service is good, although good have been a little smoother I think this will iron out as they get a little more experienced (it's still very new). The place looks fantastic and they have clearly spent a lot of money doing this up. The previous restaurant here was lovely, but needed a facelift. They have given it a facelift and some more. The food was lovely, with two of us going for pasta dishes and the third having the seafood. All was lovely, and very tasty. The portions were good size, and we shared a garlic bread. We all left stuffed and no room for desert. We will be back again soon.

Lovely new addition to Kirkstall! We came here not knowing what to expect but we were really impressed. The restaurant has been decorated really well and has a lovely atmosphere. Had the prawns to start which were great (would recommend), carbonara for mains and tiramisu to finish. The only thing that slightly bothered me was that the carbonara was cream based and not egg yolks as it should be!

Dos Amigos was one of our favourites. We were sad to see it go. But more than happy when we saw that it was being renovated. A large pizza oven appeared in the window and we were interested. Once we saw that La Grande opened we booked to go. They have opened the restaurant up inside and made it into a nice open space losing the porch that limited the size of Dos Amigos. It's a well stocked menu of Italian staples and a pizza menu. The pizza oven being a focal point of the open kitchen. We ordered a selection of the starters including tasty Arancini and the garlic and tomato bread. I opted for the Calzone and my wife the lasagna with a portion of the very delicious patatine (fries). The Calzone was huge so much so that half of it left with me in a box. This is a solid Italian. I hope and think it will do well. A trip to the Abbey followed by a stop here for food is a good date in Kirkstall for anybody.

Pizza is fantastic authentic Italian style pizza. I thought though the ham wasn't great quality and didn't seem like prosciutto. It's a lovely space.

Second visit. Service is now on point. Attentive and speedy, waiters knowledgeable about the menu. I feel they are now thriving and busy for good reason. Make sure you book a table because this place gets packed - it’s that good. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, good variety of pizzas, pastas, seafood and meat. And the bill was stupidly cheap! Slowly becoming my favourite Italian in the area. Keep up the good work, guys!

My partner took me to La Grande for my birthday. The food was amazing, the staff were so lovely and I was even surprised with a candle in my Tirimisu and a song. An amazing place will definitely be returning.

Here for a family birthday! Great service, not rushed, incredible food! Can’t say anything better. They were so accommodating for 10 people and fully immersed us in the Italian experience.

A relatively new restaurant, its position near the Abbey was in part a reason to try it (as well as some reviews). Strangely we couldnt book online for the selected lunchtime, but it turned out we booked by phone and we were the only ones there at the start of the lunch session. It might have been empty, but on a cool day the restaurant was nicely warm with overhead heaters. In being empty, it also meant that we had great service in delivering some great food. We had 6 in the group with a selection of pizzas and pasta dishes. Its fair to say that there wasnt anything left on any of the plates. The pastas and varying sauces were well received. The pizzas were large and the dough very light so you didnt feel stuffed up. The service was very attentive. Overall we couldnt complain about the visit. I dont know how the service and food will perform when the restaurant is full, but we'll be revisiting to see if its the same. Its a brave time for opening new restaurants but if quality helps alone determines longevity, then its here for a long time.

10/10 from the desing to the quality of food. Best lasagna I have ever tried ! Would definitely be back and well done to La Grande Team !!

The food was amazing and the atmosphere is nice too. They were very accomodating to our toddler 10/10 would go again

We visited as a family on a Friday night. Early tea straight from school. Great menu and choices. Children's meal brought first without prompting Grown up stater was tasty but not value for money (anti pasti) Gluten free pizza was delicious. Normal pasta was delicious too. Great staff, we will return.

I had the stroganoff & it was terrible they changed it & still not good , it was still on the bill , poor customer service !!!

This place is new and certainly worth a visit. It is beautifully presented on the inside with a warm, bright and pleasant ambience. The food was very lovely. Very large portions, clearly quality ingredients, fresh and tantalising on the palate. A few teething issues for them to work on. For instance, food wait was for a little longer than expected, and the waiter didn’t know much about the menu when asked. But I anticipate they will iron this out in the fullness of time. Certainly worth a visit. Good Italians in this area are few and far between. A Friday evening delight!

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food. Met a friend for lunch on a quiet Saturday afternoon. It was quiet whilst we were there, we both had delicious pasta dishes and cappuccinos. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will return!

Visited La Grande for my sons birthday,they were very welcome ,delicious food and great atmosphere !! Tiramisu was the best dessert! Highly recommended.

Delicious Italian food ! Fantastic experience from the moment we stepped in. We had three courses & they were all very tasty, hot & cooked to perfection. Service was fast and friendly.

We came here as i noticed it had opened, and it exceeded my expectations. As soon as we walked in the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. The service was good and the food was excellent. Lovely new restaurant just what we needed cannot wait to...

I went here last Saturday with my kids and ordered some diavola and as soon as I stepped in there the atmosphere changed, it felt amazing and the service was perfect, I didn’t need to wait long before my food arrived and it tasted wonderful....
