Merchant Of Venice in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The atmosphere and design on the restaurant is beautiful. Charming decorations and artwork. The food was excellent quality. Also the service was first rate, very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended

Really delicious well seasoned food. I went 50:50 with my daughter because we couldn't choose what to eat so we shared. Friendly staff. Gopika was our waitress. Thank you.

Absolutely love this place. Went there this evening (31.7.24) and the staff were so attentive without being over the top. The food is amazing and would strongly recommend this place. The ambience was just right. I could have easily felt like I was abroad in an upmarket taverna. It was a very warm evening and the doors and windows were open which created a perfect through draft without it blowing a gale! I have attached some photos and this is definitely one of my top "go to" places in Leicester 😋

A very beautiful spot for lunch, really aesthetic and cosy. The outdoor seating is where we sat and it was so pretty. The service was amazing and the Dona was very polite and helpful. I would recommend eating here!

A warm friendly relaxing place to eat in a nice peaceful location. Great decor, and really tasty authentic Italian food. Loved the swing seats beside the windows! Hostess Deena was so attentive - even took time to show me all the dining spaces on the basement, ground and first floors. Each with a unique theme. I’ve been here a few times now when visiting Leicester - highly recommend!
