LIVIN'italy in Leeds

This was the best pizza I have had in years! Fresh tasty ingredients. Staff were very friendly, restaurant great atmosphere… we will definitely be back.

Always fantastic food from the excellent chefs, but the table service is also what makes it a special place... thank you Sasha... super warm, lots of smiling and friendly eye contact, and also very speedy.

Excellent seasonal menu choices

Are here with 5 work colleagues after a meeting. Very friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere. Very good menu and fantastic food. I would heatedly recommend

We have been to Livin Italy before and as our last visit the food was simply delicious. Fantastic choice on the menu for both lunch.& dinner Visit you won’t be disappointed.

Everyone I take here LOVES it. Authentic, flavorful, Italian food with great wine choices! You can have anything from a build-your-own pizza to lobster or a really yummy beef ragu. The staff are exceptional as well. Cool setting under the train so nukes and crannies, no harsh lighting with exposed brick and nothing but good smells!

you have to visit this gem of a place. Truly outstanding food and service. We were temporarily transported to Italy for SURE!

One of the best Italian restaurants out there!

Great service from Ben! Food amazing!

Fab food and the coffee was good.

Amazing food!! Lovely staff and great atmosphere!

Lovely food as always, Sascha was so great and just made the experience that bit better! Thank you!

Everything I want from an Italian restaurant but so rarely get. Absolutely first class, I knew it was "right" from the moment I stepped in the door. Beautiful food and ambience.

Had 2 x starters, was great. The mains had 1 x carbonara was nothing like a carbonara had no cream and egg sauce large round pasta was tasteless. 1 x other pasta dish with pesto sauce, was inedible. The waiter removed the dish from the bill and gave a small discount. Which was really good service on his part But at the end of the day it ruined the meal and the night out. As my wife had the runs all night and the next day. Would not recommend. Hopefully they will improve the food on offer.

Excellent place to relax in the evening, the food was exceptional.

Love this gorgeous restaurant, enjoyed a family birthday meal, forgot to take pictures because the food was so good

I don’t know why the restaurant wasn’t heaving, our breakfast/brunch at LIVIN’italy was absolutely beautiful and there was so much on the menu that we also want to try that we’ll definitely be back.

Pizzas we're very good. Service was ok but very expensive for what it was. I wouldn't go back as it isn't our kind of restaurant.

Birthday meal. Very professional and attentive staff. Authentic Italian experience. Comprehensive food and drinks menu. Recommend

Great food,buzzy atmosphere. Very characterful old building and the staff are very friendly. Loved the massive wheel of Parmesan! Will defo return.

Pretty good all round. Recommend

I have eaten here twice when visiting Leeds and it is a wonderful place. Food is absolutely delicious and totally authentic. Pricing is good and service is always excellent. Atmosphere is lively. I’d highly recommend going

Had the most incredible pasta! Memorable beyond! Great service. Perfect atmosphere!!!!

Great food and excellent atmosphere

This place is a gem, lunch, breakfast, dinner… doesn’t matter why you’re there it’s top quality every time

The best place on Leeds, the hospitality is top 100% food is delicious. Our favorite restaurant 🤗🤗🤗

Great place and food. service superb. A bit noisy for chatting but I think that might have been due to a few groups in. Would visit again

Loved this place. Staff were lovely and the place has a great feel to it. Looking forward to the lobster next time.

Quick service, unusual items on menu and good atmosphere. Staff attentive.

Beautiful setting, all staff members were lovely, manager was brilliant, I wouldn't recommend the carbonara but the garlic bread was amazing 😍

Lovely spot for either a lunch or evening meal perfect portion sizes and great atmosphere.

Really good, service amazing. Food amazing

Lovely lunch for 2 adult and 2 kids.

Fabulous place and very reasonably priced.

Fantastic independent place! Lovely meals to choose from and drinks. Thank you Addie for looking after us!

Great food and brilliant service will go again definitely

Amazing food. Service was slightly slow. Could have done with more staff

We had lunch here over the bank hol, it’s small and quirky. Food very good and drinks perfect would definitely recommend

Visited here with my daughter really nice place and lovely coffee

Had a great meal here with amazing pasta choices. We had great service from Noah 😊

Visited for lunch whilst at work, and I think it was overpriced for portion size. Nice location, and the staff are lovely.

Ben was brilliant, food was amazing. Overall great experience, cant wait to come back!

Excellent authentic Italian food and service

Meatballs were tiny cold and lacked sauce and came in a dry bowl of bread. Our pasta was cold and undercooked, we asked for it to be warmed up and it came back only a couple of degrees warmer. very disappointing to say how expensive this place is, will not be returning. I feel like there’s way too much on the menu hence the quality of cooking and food is lacking

Lovely meal for my birthday. Ben couldn’t do enough for us! Food was beautiful

Great meal and great service from Ben. Wish we had one in Scotland

Fantastic food and wonderful service courtesy of Ben John

Ben was a wonderful host and the espresso martini was delicious. Food was wonderful.

Amazing experience, highly recommend Ben

Fabulous restaurant. Great location. Lovely food. Nice staff

We had a fantastic time here. Really attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the food. The crab pasta was to die for. I stopped short of licking the plate clean! Beautiful food. One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten in

I recommend this restaurant, the pizza was delicious, and all the staff were friendly

Amazing food and amazing restaurant with great service for a fair price

A nice little Italian restaurant with points of difference to the norm in their menu.

Really disappointed with our main course. Starters were great, 3 of us had the belly pork we all thought this was so sickly and struggled to eat it. We eat belly pork at home and love it, soft and fatty not crispy. Cabbage dish awful, hard and unappealing. The roast potatoes were more like boiled than roast. This is the first time I've ever put a post on but felt I had to.

Absolutely brilliant. Great food and atmosphere. Such a unique Italian experience.

Enjoyed a late lunch here on Sunday afternoon, food was good, staff very pleasant and the decor was great!

Amazing experience and the staff were exceptional. Brilliant food

Great food. Really nice pizza and pasta. House wine ... good stuff😋

I organised a group booking of 9 people for a birthday party. We were provided with a selection of sharing starters, which were lovely, and a main course which we had pre ordered. We also all ordered a few cocktails which we enjoyed. The food, service and atmosphere were great! Would definitely go again!

Fantastic traditional Italian restaurant and the food is the best Italian I've tasted.

Would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be returning, it’s a hidden Leeds gem.

Great food and service with a superb atmosphere. A gem in Leeds!

Excellent service, food and ambience. Best pizza outside of Italy!

Very tasty food it was a tad expensive for lunch Wine was around £46 per bottle . Service charge of £5 each was added to the bill and there were only 4 of us

This place is just amazing, star 🌟 🤩 food and such a friendly and professional personnel. I cannot recommend it enough! I have ben here for a romantic dinner, for a brunch with a friend, for a family dinner and also for a work dinner...never disappointed! Praise to the staff, particularly to the chef Alessio!

Food overall tasted good. Spaghetti carbonara was slightly dissapointing. The truffle on the carbonara was not much as well for an additional cost. Pizza was good. Service was great however even when busy. The cacio and Pepe was quite good although the pasta was a little hard and it was a little salty

Fantastic service, knowledgeable staff, yummy food and what a great atmosphere! Thanks Kunal for your service, super!

Great place, great food and great atmosphere!

Brilliant dinner. So glad my sister suggested going. Ben our waiter was great he even asked if we wanted the kids meal first. The restaurant had a atmosphere we all loved it 🥰

The food was delicious especially the cheese wheel pasta and our server Ben was very friendly and helpful.

Ben’s service was excellent. And the food was outstanding.

Amazing food and fab service with a smile from Ben. The cacio e pepe cooked at the table was absolutely delicious, as was our discovery of the sbagliato cocktail. Perfect!

Our go-to quality Italian fix! Every time we are here (Leeds for business ) we eat here. It's very good. Great people, great food....what more do you want? Give it a go. You will not be disappointed!! (We are about to walk over there now....table booked for 19.15 but we sure can't wait till then!! :0)) See ya in a min guys!!

The best Italian restaurant in Leeds. Never had a bad experience here. Good atmosphere, excellent service. Ben was lovely.

Great breakfast. The frittata was lovely!

Food was OK, not amazing, but OK. Starter was nice. Main was a bit questionable. Could be personal taste but I didn't think the pumpkin base really complimented the pizza (spicy northerner). Pistachio pasta was nice but far too much sauce. Service was lacking a bit, we weren't courtesy checked once and had to get waiters attention for drinks. Also had to got to thd bar to pay as no one came over after bill was issued. Think service charge is a bit steep also, 10 percent is customary, 15 percent is cheeky. We paid it as I work in the industry and know how important to servers it can be, however, don't believe we received quality service worth 15 percent.

Food was nice, the service was OK but not worth the 12% service charge they added to the bill.

Enjoyed the food and wine. Quite expensive. Three of us went, we shared an antipasti, all had pasta dishes, two pints and a large glass of wine £107 service charge inc.Service was good.

It's a bit out of the way but I'll say it's well worth looking for. It's at the side of Leeds train station beside the canal.

Best Italian in Leeds, hands down — high quality, fresh and absolutely delicious food. The customer service is average, the restaurant has a beautiful interior but is incredibly noisy (with a full house, you need to shout across the table in conversation to be heard). I left with a full and happy belly, but I also left with a headache. Next time I’ll book a table outside or visit during a non-peak time!

Amazing food and drinks! Best service

Amazing food, super lovely staff. Great price. Can’t recommend enough.

Just came for drinks, great vibes on a sunny evening 😎

Ferdi the matrè de sorted us a table , we had a dunk at the bar first . My pina colada cocktail was the best I had ever tasted 👌. We were seated in a booth for our meal . Top class Italian cuisine . Really enjoyable experience . The desserts were to die for - an amazing bread and butter pudding and a proper Italian tiramisu 10/10

What a gem of a place, great food, drinks and service, definitely recommend.

Absolutely incredible restaurant. We walked up as we are staying in the double tree Hilton & instantly felt welcomed and given a table. The food was unbelievably good, the staff absolutely PERFECT and the atmosphere was a vibe. Love love love!

Lovely decor and experience of eating below the train tracks with the cosy rumble of trains passing overhead. Nice attentive service. Good selection of vegan options with everything clearly marked, including the wines. Don't forget to check out the specials menu too. However, my boyfriend and I thought the food lacked flavour a bit. I ordered the vegan calzone which was a bit bland, and my boyfriend had the fish stew which he felt was good but slightly lacking in flavour. We also ordered the focaccia which was super fluffy but was served with a sauce we thought was a bit underwhelming. Overall, the setting was lovely but the food wasn't quite up to the standard we'd expect from this price point.

Always a wonderful atmosphere with friendly service and great food and drinks

Fantastic decor that is different than many of the bland places around Leeds. Staff were friendly and attentive. The meal is served as an ‘event’ with flair! The food was good, but definitely not usual Italian so be prepared for things to taste quite different than you might be used to. It wasn’t to my personal taste but this was a preference thing rather than than anything wrong with the food. Price is in the expensive side for the amount - but the ingredients and service are at a level you’d expect for the amount you are paying. In my experience it isn’t a place for a relaxing meal - the tables are quite close together and the acoustics make it quite loud even when it isn’t super busy. Definitely feels lively and bustling - so more suited to that kind of vibe as opposed to a quiet comfy feel.

Good food. Friendly staff. Very busy.

Lovely Italian restaurant in a cosmopolitan area of Leeds, beautiful views and great food. Busy, even in a Tuesday early evening.

Ooh really liked it here. Very authentic experience. Food good. Great wine list. Just behind the railway station so super convenient if meeting up.

nothing short of brilliant, atmosphere was great and food done to perfection as well as perect service. Will 100% be returning

Loved the experience, especially the service

We enjoyed the Italian afternoon tea 😍, the customer service is super , food was great overall but the Mocktail was extra sweet couldn’t finish it .

A really great night for my son’s 20th birthday. The food was delicious & the service was second to none. What a great little place!!

Really nice food and atmosphere. Ben our server was really lovely!

True authentic Italian restaurants. Feels like Italy, excellent food and drinks - not just any pizza - it’s unique , tasty, fresh and the restaurant ambiance is so cozy. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Wow, wow! That's all I can say! Everything from the service to the food was amazing. Such a tasty food, worth every penny! If I ever return to Leeds, that is the one to return to! I can say I am a fussy eater and met all my standards! Not to mention that the restaurant looks so nice and such a pleasant atmosphere!
