Puccini's in Barnsley

We went early Sunday evening with our 7 year old, all ordered different meals we had 3 courses each and it was all delicious and freshly made. They made a main course, especially for my son with the things he likes and also brought it out on a cold plate so he didn't burn himself. Very thoughtful waitress!

Very nice place. Lovely ltalian food.

Best pizza I have ever had in the UK.

6 of us for a celebration. Not the first time we have visited the place. It's one of our favourites. I must say, the sauce that the meals are in is delicious. I do get the impression the same recipe is used for a number of meals as 5 of us had different meals but the foundation sauce was just the same. I feel they have just found something that works for them rather than delivering different delights. The meatballs I belive had pork in them but I would guess that there was very little percentage of beef but still tasty. I would still go there time and time again, not only to support our local community but also because I love the delicious tomoto, mascarpone sauce.

We a regulars at Puccini, we have been for a while, we find the foods great the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Real Classic Italian food,

Had a reasonable meal at this restaurant and would go again. The food was served piping hot and was reasonable for the price. The room was only about 2/3 full but the noise was terrific. They could do with bringing back the table cloths and napkins. It might deaden the noise levels and add a touch of class as some of the tables were looking very tired. Staff were friendly and attentive and earned their tip.

Unfortunately, my recent experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. Every dish seemed to be drowned in the same overpowering tomato sauce, which completely masked any other flavors. On top of that, everything was overcooked, and the seafood crepe was a mushy mess. It's safe to say that none of us were satisfied with our meals, and we ended up leaving in a hurry after paying the bill. Overall, it was a letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Italian dining experience. The phone constantly ringing on volume 99, and don’t forget the music playing out of the rave style flashing light speakers! All in all such a shame, could be an amazing place for food, but unfortunately not what it used to be.

We were staying just outside Barnsley and had looked for close by restaurant. This was great. Nice welcome .reasonably priced Italian. Food served well.very nice. Would use again definitely .

Tried this place for the first time in April 2024 following a recommendation from a friend. When I phoned up to book a table I enquired about halal meat and they said we will see what I can do. When I turned up, they had ordered halal chicken for me, which was an example of putting the customer first. I ordered a starter and mains and coffee. All of which was great. Nice clean place with ample parking.

Really nice food, lovely helpful staff team.

Birthday meal wow enjoyed every mouthful best meal I have ever eaten I would have given double stars if I could. A rare hidden gem worth a visit fantastic food

The food was perfect 👌 Service on time ⏲️ Authentic Italian cuisine 🇮🇹😋

Visited Puccini's on Friday evening with friends. I must compliment the whole staff at the restaurant. The food was delicious as always and the waitresses were so very pleasant and polite. Love this restaurant.

Food was delicious. Restaurant was very chilly. Staff friendly and helpful

Very friendly staff, very good food, good prices. I go as often as I can.

Would have given 5 for food but after 20yrs on continual use have noticed the veg portions are a lot small and the prawns in the starter, fewer and smaller. No room to post below but Fillet Steak n sauce gorgeous

First time at Puccini's but will be going back. The hallway leading to the dining room has a great looking stairway to your LH side. The dining room is functional and very clean. I ordered a Pizza for starters and they did me a smaller version followed by Pancakes and a side portion of fries. The food was delicious, it was the best pizza I have ever had. The service was good and there was no waiting to be served what you had ordered. The chicken pancake was also on par and the only downside was the lack of chips in the bowl. Four of us ordered a side of chips and it appeared as though they had done enough for three and then tried to make them look more in the bowls. Small details but I want them to be aware that something insignificant maybe taking away from the excellent experience. All in all, one of Barnsley' best. Cheers

Loved it, been several times over the years, and the quality never changes.

First visit for me to this fabulous place. I was very impressed with the menu, especially when I saw my favourite starter, Calamari (Squid). I can honestly say that it was the best that I had ever tasted. All our food was hot and well presented and all the staff are friendly and attentive. They have a great specials board with lots of choices . I would highly recommend Puccini's, we had a lovely experience thanks to all the hard working staff .

My friends and I visit this restaurant many times and it never ceases to disappoint. The staff are very attentive. The food is fantastic. Good value for money. Our favourite restaurant in barnsley.

Food spot on for price ,drinks are over priced over rated bottles only wine by the glass at nearly 7pound a glass,attitude of staff member was 2faced gave backstabbing comment after we left(waste of time) ,wouldn't recommend it unless you are loaded ,go elsewhere

Food was beautiful, portion sizes were good. It was quiet on a Tuesday night, for 3 starters, 2 mains and 2 glasses of wine it was approx £80 which was great value. Service was very good. The pollo puccini is highly recommended

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Meals are delicious. Food delivery is quick. Staff are amazing and can't do enough for you and the price was really good too. Great parking. Go to Puccinis (even better than the opera!)

OMG! How awesome is Puccinis!! I just took a 16th birthday party of 13 there for 5.30pm on a Sunday straight after 3 hours of swimming. 11 FAMISHED boys on a very cold rainy winter evening. Within 45 mins, Puccini's had everyone full, fed, warm and happy. They even had a number "6" candle when the one I took turned out to be a "9"! :D I can't thank the team enough for looking after us so well and treating us all like kings for an evening. We'll definitely back. And the food was amazing too and all the boys loved it (even the autistic ones who have particular tastes). Wholeheartedly recommended <3 <3 <3

We had heard good things about Puccini's so decided to have dinner before the theatre. We were not disappointed. The hostess was extremely friendly. The food was superb. Beautiful flavours. We spent £50 for a starter to share 2 main courses 1 dessert & 3 bottles of Peroni. We were both suprised at the prices of the mains ! We are used to Whitby prices ! £13 for a beautiful pasta dish that included melt in the mouth steak. We will definitely be returning

Amazing food and excellent service. The pasta and pizza was delicious and there was a 20% discount!!

Lovely food, excellent service, the restaurant was a bit quiet but we did visit at 6.00 pm on a Sunday

Excellent food, meals were a bit slow coming out, but worth the wait. Staff were great

Top class authentic Italian restaurant...food & service were excellent...a class above.

Had a lovely meal, the service was excellent despite it being very busy and happy with the price for the meal. Good to see the place thriving.Will return soon.

It was absolutely lovely and the meal I had, was truly delicious. It came out within good time, and was made to perfection. A small bit of Italy, from home to here. It felt very authentic, and the lady that served me was wonderful and so accommodating! 5/5! If I was not down simply for a business trip, I would absolutely come again!

Lovely surroundings, very attentive staff and the food was fantastic

A fantastic evening with friends for a retirement party. Food and service was excellent as always.

Up from London again, we had another excellent dinner here. My wife had the Seafood Risotto, whilst I had the Spaghetti Ragu. Both were very much enjoyed, together with a bottle of good value Pinot Grigiot. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and I do recommend this restaurant for fine Italian fare. Easy parking is also available on site. It's located on the main A628 Dodworth Road leading into Barnsley.

Our first ever time her for my stepdaughter’s 21st birthday will definitely not be our last .I had lasagna which I’m dubious about as I make a lovely one but omg it was absolutely delicious the best I’ve ever had can’t wait to go again

First time trying this place and it was gorgeous! Ordered chicken alla crème for main and oh my too nice forgot to take a picture! The lady who served us was lovely and will 1000% be back

Great restaurant, very smiling and helpful waitress. Very good atmosphere. Super great. Thank you for this good time spending in your cy

I'm order steak my son and mum they irder pizza Definitely we will back Fully recommend 👌

The 2 drinks choices I asked for were out of stock. So I had water. Sad face. My meal on the menu described as fillet steak strips. No, it was gristly minute steak, more mushrooms than meat. Starter of meatballs and the main both came with the same stodgy tomato sauce. Waitress had a thick bunched up accent and was difficult to understand. Our first visit, very disappointed. We were given 20% discount.

This wss a spur of the moment first visit. The car park was empty and we almost changed our minds, however we would have missed out on excellent food, full of taste and well prepared. Friendly service and a spotlessly clean environment. Definitely returning.

Went for my birthday with my family, had a great meal everything was fresh and tasty will definitely be going again

Best Italian I have ever visited. Truly authentic and beautiful food

Lovely restaurant food was that good I forgot to take an earlier photo.

This place is one of my favourite Italians! The food here is always good and the service is always good too, the staff are very friendly! Good atmosphere. The meals are at a good price too. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to eat out in the local area.

Nice enough but expensive enjoyed the evening which is the main thing!

Great food and service loved it thanks for a lovely time

Went tonight for the first time with my husband, the food was absolutely amazing and the lady owner who looked after us was awesome. I would highly recommend to anybody and we will certainly be back! Thank you!

Best Italian in barnsley by far, staff are so friendly, the food is good size and amazing taste always happy 😊

Great food nice staff very affordable

Last minute plans with my girlfriend after a late shift at work, they made time for us & made us feel very welcome. The food speaks for itself, absolutely stunning. Authentic Italian - hidden gem in Barnsley! Sadia the waitress made things extra special.

This was the second time visiting Puccini's and won't be the last service 1st class. They didn't rush you and food deserves 6 stars. Puccini's is one of the few restaurants I would recommend to friends & family.

Had a lovely meal, food was great best Italian restaurant in Barnsley

On the night the food was fantastic but the service was slow due to how busy it was ,will definitely return but not on such a busy night

Brilliant authentic Italian food. A proper gem of a restaurant.

Food is good, staff are friendly and helpful. Great place for a family Meal out.

Best pizza we've had in ages... lovely thin crust with quality toppings... and great value!

Really awesome place. Run by proper Italians who are honest and make the best food in whole Barnsley.

Excellent food, great dining experience, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

They haven't got a clue what is an Italian pizza and the ingredients to be used... Simple... At least staff was kind ...

Beautiful food, lovely house. My favourite Italian restaurant.

We went as a group of 5 for a birthday meal The venue is nice clean and spacious The service was pleasant and fast The drinks are bottles not draught which was fine for me. The food was average. The rest of our group appeared to enjoy there meal apart from myself. I was left disappointed when the fillet steak Rossini I ordered came out as a rump steak disguised as a fillet. I can only presume that the restraint had run out of fillet and instead of making me aware and offering an alternative thought it would be ok to cook me a rump and fold it in half in an attempt to pass it off as a piece of fillet and to top it off over cooked it. Really disappointing

First class service and quality food at reasonable prices.we would recommend a visit.

Amazing food and staff. Would highly recommend!

excellent service food delicious

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Best Italian restaurant I have been to.

Great family meal! Something for everyone, even the fussy kids

Great food ,great staff ,great atmosphere,

An average Italian restaurant, nothing stands out but quality is not bad

Great food and great service, definitely recommend!

Since Roberto left I didn't want to go in. Today was first time back and it was gorgeous. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

Been going to Puccinis for about 10 years and it is always lovely. Service is exceptional, staff make you feel welcome and always make conversation. The food is amazing, particularly the polpette, pizzas and tomato pasta dishes. The staff are also very understanding and will make any requirements to dishes or change anything customers are unhappy with.

Food fab but the lighting is too much not very intimate

First time here and definitely go again. The staff so helpful and the food delicious 😋

Ate here on Saturday night. This was our first time as we have just moved to the area. We had great expectations but I’m afraid we won’t be returning. Staff were exceptionally poor at advice on drinks. Asked what soft drinks were available I was informed J2, orange or red. The salad with the pate was served without any dressing and tbh was of poor quality. I thoroughly enjoyed my main of chicken and mushroom with veg, although half a roast potato is a tad mean. The pizza was tasteless and should have had chill in it but none was detected. The cannelloni was dry. We weren’t offered Parmesan or black pepper. It was just disappointing.

The food here is delicious, especially the fillet steak Rossini. However the atmosphere has changed here, possibly as a result of Covid. The lights are bright, the table tops are bare and the menus are laminated sheets, none of which h are major issues but it has the overall affect of making the venue noisier and more akin to a cafe experience than a restaurant. I woukdnsay this is not a place for a romantic meal, but ideal for a family outing or works do.

The food was good we had the Fillet Rossini and it was melt in the mouth. However it came wirh fries and no other sides which was a little unexpected. There was veg if you had potatoes apparently. For £25+ veg would be nice. The house wine wasn't great but they did replace it. The evening was somewhat subdued by the lighting and decor. The lights are so bright there is no intimacy. We have been to the building many times and this time it felt like a canteen. We were not led to the bar upstairs for drinks, no candles on the table just the bright lights. It just didn't feel special

Saturday evening visit. The staff are friendly and efficient. The interior is clean and pleasant, although it would have really nice to have a candle or small flower vase on the table, instead of just salt & pepper grinders (a little too basic café style for the price range). We ate Olives & bread while waiting for our starters. My partner doesn’t usually eat Olives but he enjoyed these as they weren’t overly strong. I tucked in to a delicious plate of battered Calamari, with a lemon Mayo dip. My partner had prosciutto wrapped mozzarella rolls which were lovely but a little on the salty side. For mains we had Tagliatelle Salmone and Penne Milanesi, decent sized portions and both in a creamy tomato sauce. The Steak strips were tender. I didn’t find a great deal of salmon in my dish, however what I had was very tasty. We were too full to have desert and instead opted for liqueur coffee’s. These came with an individually wrapped mint, Which was fine, although an after dinner Mint chocolate would have been better. Overall I really like this restaurant, there are just a few small touches they could use to raise the bar

Great place friendly staff top notch food

Great food .Great service , proper Italian food Spaghetti seafood was really nice , loads of fish and prawns We will be back soon for more lovely food Highly recommended

The food was absolutely beautiful all 6 of us enjoyed every mouthful of everything we had and we have fussy family. Delicious couldn't ask for better taste wise. Nice Italian draught beer would be a good addition if I were to pick at anything at all but really enjoyable evening and will be back very soon. Consiglio 100 % ❤

Fantastic meal 👍👍👍recommend a visit for good Italian food

Really Great service and lovely food. Full of regulars as well which is a great sign.

Lovely friendly staff, fast service and food very nice

Visited tonight for the first time. Don’t know how or why we have not been sooner. Absolutely outstanding food, flavoursome & plentiful. Owner, waitresses & waiter could not have been more welcoming. Absolute well worth the visit & the next visit. I’d advise anyone to give this place a whirl, you won’t be disappointed! 5* all the way.

Fantastic welcome, fantastic food and competitive prices . Again, a lovely evening dining in a beautiful authentic surroundings.

Just been tonight. Absolutely amazing food and service will definitely return and recommend.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely food .

The best Italian meal I’ve had in a long time, can’t wait to return in the future, highly recommended 😁

Brilliant food. Very helpful staff. 10/10.

Sad to say we won’t eat here again ! The place is lovely, staff nice welcoming and friendly but the food was at best mediocre. My garlic mushrooms starter was awful, side vegetables and potatoes were bland and undercooked and dreadfully presented the sweet selection...

Been going there for a number of years now food is consistently excellent and lovely staff. Thanks

Food was lovely & the staff were lovely too

Great food, great service. Was happy to see the place full after having to close for so long. Adequate measures were in place and I felt safe

Beautifull food served in lovely surroundings by excellent hostes.. At reasonable prices.. What more can you ask for

Wonderful service and even better food xxxx

Absolutely brilliant food with fantastic staff

I’d not been before but my partner had about 10 years ago. Back then the prawn cocktail made her very ill. As it was so long since then we tried it and this time she was very ill from having the salmon. The staff were...

Excellent food and very friendly staff.

Our first meal out since February due to covid. We said right from the beginning that our first meal would be here. We just love this place. Great to see all the tables full too. The staff were all very well trained, just a shame we couldn't shake hands with the owners, we settled for an elbow high 5😂. The government scheme is a great way to get the businesses going again. I just hope people keep it up after it ends, we certainly will, especially here. Our favourite place to eat. Thanks again x

Me and my family called for a table last minute they was very polite and got us booked in ASAP. While we were there they had fun with our daughters and was very welcoming and nice, my partner wanted cocktails even though they don’t serve cocktails they went and made him one Very welcoming people and really nice food!!!!
