Stuzzi in Leeds

The service was good - except one person who seemed a bit inexperienced. The big problem is the food in my opinion. The food styling was decent but the taste not at all. Very standard quality for the price. The atmosphere and decoration were great.

A little difficult to find if you’re tired, the entrance isn’t in the main grand arcade it’s via the outside But the food was absolutely incredible, the staff were lovely and we already booked to go back for a truffle specialty evening 🫶🏼

Last night we decided to give Stuzzi a second chance after a some what disappointing birthday meal a year or so ago. We were at a loss as to where to go out for some tea and so headed to Stuzzi. We hadn't booked but unluckily for us they had a table available. When we arrived I asked if they had GF options for their pasta which they said they had, later did we find their GF option was to swap out pasta and replace with beans, which from briefly looking over the recent reviews seems to be a bug barer for many ... which it would be, pasta vs beans? so many options in and around Leeds now give loads of GF pasta options which seems to be a bit of a dropped ball on Stuzzi's part, each to their own I suppose. Anyways, I just want to state that this is my first ever review, I really can't be bothered to review places but last night really did naff me off big style. We ordered 4 dishes for myself and mum to share and my partner order a couple of dishes for herself due to GF dietary requirements. When our food arrived we were a little underwhelmed at the portion sizes, £15 for essentially a starter portion of pasta, to double down on the disappointment we had ordered x2 pasta dishes.. so that's £30 for two small bowls of pasta. Arancini ball at £6 and 3 crochettes for £9... My partner ordered the steak £17.5 and a 'roasted' cauliflower dish at £8. When our food arrived my mum asked if we could have some plates, waiter said you've got plates to which my mum mentioned but they were cold, 'well yes, they've been on the table' the waiter replied.... What restaurant serves hot food and wants you to eat them off cold side plates??? Our dishes were extremely salty to say the least, but fine enough. But the steak came 'chargrilled' which was almost inedible, you know when you over cook sausages on a BBQ and there's that burnt crust that's just awful? well that was the chargrill, the cauliflower dish came out cold and was quite literally 2 flowers of the vegetable. Our waiter was more than happy to go into detail about each dish when serving but once served didn't come back to ask how thing were, if we needed anything else, fancied another drink etc etc etc. You'd expect a little more attentiveness from the place based on it's 'reputation' / 'brand'. We had to speak to another member of staff about the steak and cauliflower dishes, one was cold to the touch and the other burnt to a crust. Waitress said the cauliflower was supposed to be served as was, and the steak, again was served like that. Said member of staff then went to speak to the kitchen and said they would make up another cauliflower plate, to which we declined politely as we really weren't feeling it and the restaurant at this stage and just wanted to get out of the place in all honesty. At that point the waitress then just picked up what was remaining of said cold veg dish (£8 to remind you) and rudely stomped off. When we came to pay the bill the chap who came across with the card machine didn't ask how thing had been, so my partner decided to tell him, to which he sat back on the back of a chair with his arms crossed and nodded in what can only be described as a patronising up his own a$$ stance. All the chap could say is I'm sorry you've not had a good meal, no 'let me get you a drink' or 'I'll take the burnt steak off the bill'. Such a rubbish experience, so cr@p that I'm sat getting behind at work just to put this out there. From their website 'We believe our obsession delivers a glimpse of what’s on offer beyond the tourist traps into true Italy' True Italy isn't overpriced, small portioned Italian 'small plates' with a heavy pouring of patronised service... but if that's what you're after get your self down to Stuzzi. Rant over.... soz

This is just the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. I come here just for the bread sometimes it is that good. The roasts are incredible, never had a morsel I didn’t like from any of the menus. Staff are all amazing, drink selection is exceptional ❤️

Such a delicious spot! Went here for a friends birthday meal and shared a bunch of plates and they brought out brownie and ice cream with candles! Really unique food and atmosphere

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a nice atmosphere but the flavour combinations of the dishes although interesting and nicely presented werent that tasty in my opinion.

First-Timer, Totally Impressed! I finally checked out Stuzzi for the first time, and wow, the food was amazing! We kicked things off with the Crostini di Ceci - so simple, but seriously tasty. Then came the Arancino, possibly the best I've ever had. The marinated Zucchini was super fresh, and the Patate Arrosti was cooked perfectly, and adjusted to make it vegetarian. The Tortellini was also delicious. To finish, we had the Cannolo... oh my goodness, that was incredible! Overall, Stuzzi totally exceeded my expectations. They take simple ingredients and turn them into something special. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu!

Disappointing Experience. I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The portion sizes were tiny, especially for the price, which made the meal feel incredibly overpriced. To make things worse, the menu was poorly labeled, and it was hard to tell which items were vegetarian or gluten-free. The staff were rude and seemed uninterested in helping when I asked for clarification. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and like they just didn’t care about customer service. Definitely not worth it.

An overrated and overpriced restaurant in a busy street in Leeds. Portions incredibly small for the price, although the food was tasty and we all left hungry. Staff were rather rude and mumbled rather than spoke. Very basic decor and strange unisex toilets.

We visited last night as Stuzzi had been somewhere the whole group had wanted to go for a while - however were sorely disappointed. The service was pretty appalling. We were given menus without dietaries, with a veggie and coeliac, it was annoying to not be asked any dietaries and wait for a menu to be annotated. I can't think of a restaurant I have been to lately where it is not clear from the menu itself. Despite calling in the week to confirm they can cater for gluten free where I was told 'all pasta dishes can be made gluten free', I was told the pasta is subbed for canneloni beans not gluten free pasta - so I think that should be clearer as we would not have visited. Many other independents offer much better gluten free alternatives. All staff members we encountered were rude and unhelpful. Putting dishes down on our table, and others, without talking to the customers. We weren't asked how our meal was or if we needed anything else. We were not asked if we had been before and the menu/pricing itself was a bit random so explanation of how best to order in a group would have been useful. We asked and ordered a larger dish each, and were told it is quite common to order more if needed which we intended to do. However the service was so rude and slow that despite being hungry we decided to just pay and leave. When presented with the bill we asked for the service charge to be removed and were asked why and to point out which staff members we felt had been rude which wasn't exactly the most professional response. The food itself was okay, some flavours were good but portions were very small for the price. The wine was good and they do offer a gf foccacia! However it was a really poor experience for somewhere that seems to be raved about otherwise. Maybe this was a one off but it was particularly bad we will not be returning and we wish we had spent our money elsewhere for much better food and service.

Food was excellent as always, we felt like the staff couldn't really be bothered being friendly. Would always recommend though !!

They advised over the phone that they can do Gluten free pasta however when we arrived they told us they swap the pasta out for cannellini beans which was disappointing. The food was overpriced and underwhelming. One of the “starter” type dishes didn’t arrive so we had to ask for it and it only came out after we had eaten. The focaccia was dry and oily. We had to ask to order drinks as nobody had come over. The staff were unhelpful and clearly didn’t want to be there and then we were questioned when we asked for the service charge to be removed. Definitely won’t be returning. Plenty of amazing restaurants in Leeds that have great food and staff that are priced accordingly, this is not one of them.

We visited for the first time and had lunch which was very unique and tasty. The dishes are small , like Italian tapas, which is good to get a range of dishes . The staff were attentive and friendly. The initial address seemed a bit strange going up the stairs but on arrival into the restaurant the building itself was very impressive with amazing windows . It’s situated above the Grand Arcade - just near the Grand Theatre and would be a fabulous place for a pre or post theatre meal! Will definitely return .

Delicious food we had salt cod fritters, deep fried lasagne, fennel salad & aracini and everything was so good. Smaller portions than the Harrogate restaurant but the atmosphere is much nicer so balances out

Can't fault it 🌟 Beautiful venue, delicious food, excellent service. On a slightly pricier end but definitely worth the money.

I've always loved Italian food but didn't know it could be this tasty! The menu (which we were told changes very regularly) had a great variety of small plates, both meat and vegetarian. We only had soft drinks but were still spoiled for choice with loads of traditional Italian drinks on offer. Staff were all lovely, and attentive. Get yourself down there if you haven't already!

First time visiting Stuzzi after rave recommendations from our son and his girlfriend who is half Italian. Will definitely go again, so impressed. Firstly friendly, welcoming staff throughout our visit. The food was amazing, so delicious, everything had wonderful touches. The prosciutto with house pickles and homemade grissini was fab. The arancino was so good. We had Triangoli with a caper, lemon and chilli sauce which was great and perfectly al dente. The standout for us was the rigatoni which got the highest praise from one of us "reminds me of my Nonna's food". Dog friendly too!

Always an excellent place to eat- the food is top notch, and the staff are lovely and welcoming. Rubie was attentive and very helpful. My partner and I are always surprised that Stuzzi seems to just keep getting better

Food is high quality, but it's a frustrating experience. I'm sure once you know the menu well it's great, but the staff repeatedly advised us that we had ordered enough food, only when it came out was it clear that we hadn't. I think maybe they are self-conscious about the price, but I'd rather have paid more and left full than have an expensive meal and need another dinner after.

Delicious food and extremely patient, helpful staff when dealing with dietary requirements.

Cute find in Leeds and great for a catch up dinner with friends! prices aren't the most generous but food quality 👌🏼🤌🏻

Starting positive the space is so lovely and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff and service too was great. I was dissapointed in the vegetarian options (I think there was one main and a few starters). My meat eater friend found her food okay. It’s a shame there isn’t at least one veggie staple as not being able to view a definitive menu (because it changes seasonally/depending on what’s available which I love as a concept but in practice for a vegetarian on a menu with few options it didn’t work great for me). Probably good for some but not if you already have limited dietary choices. It’s just luck if you end up liking the limited choice on the day.

Had a group of 8 with a couple of dietary requirements for a birthday. The team were really welcoming and accommodating. The food is fantastic, the party deal was very reasonably priced for how much food we had and it was just generally great. Would recommend highly.

Creative Italian food and vibrant atmosphere, friendly staffs is also amazing🍷

One of the best dining experience in Leeds. The food is always amazing, particularly the Sunday roast menu and the team actually know what they are talking about when they serve you, which I think is what gives it the edge. Highly recommend it

Stuzzi is first rate - plain and simple. The building is interesting, not commercial or chain-decorated. The service is tremendous and the food - some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten (and we have just been to Amalfi). Thjs was a celebration of a graduation so there were a load of us there. We fancied nibbles first and then share starters and mains and the guys looking after us could not have been more helpful. The food is perfectly and inventively cooked and presented. The taste is superb - the burrata with various tomatoes is a great sharer. And the pasta was perfectly al dente - the slow roast beef dish was great. The wine worked very well with the food and it was very modestly priced. One of our favourite places to eat when up in Leeds and we will be back.

One of the best restaurants in Leeds by far. Food is always excellent and I love that the menu changes so often. Always something new to try!

Foods good. Expensive though for the portions / decor and location. £7.60 for a 330ml can of northern monk (from down the road) is ridiculous 2 items weren't available. Burata was replaced with Mozzarella. Same price on menu likely cheaper ingredients Also had to have the default service removed (8.86%). If you want your staff earn more. Pay them more yourself. This isn't the USA and we shouldn't be accepting it. Also had to have a tree removed at £1.23 If you want to offset your emissions, then that is your problem and responsibility. Not the consumers. Won't be going back as a result of any of this.

We went on Friday night as we love this place and always rave about it. However things were not up to standard on Friday night. Staff were inexperienced and not prepared for shift. We got wrong wine, wrong dish, two parts didn't arrive until we asked but then it was all out of order. The dishes that were forgotten were not taken off the bill. The atmosphere was off and service below expectations. Food good as always but we might choose other places in Leeds because there are so many great spots. Bill came to £140 of 2ppl.

Excessively loud - full of large groups, felt like a boozy environment rather than relaxing dining experience. Food average. Staff dressed really casually / inappropriately - one waitress was wearing a bra top and jeans, which felt really inappropriate. Toilets were filthy and no hand soap.

Fabulous food , venue and staff The tapas style Italian was a first for us and certainly wasn’t disappointed and will definitely be back soon. A favourite was the pork meatball and Croquettes very different but all dishes so tasty the mango eclair was divine . Staff excelled themselves too .

A pretty small menu. Antipastis were not finished before the main dishes arrived. Felt rushed and had to force ourselves to linger so that when we ordered a dessert the meal was not over and done with too quickly. The arancini was the most tasty dish and we were disappointed that there were no fish dishes on the menu.

Gorgeous food. Came here for a hen party and we let the chefs pick what dishes we were served. Everything was delicious, the service was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and we all had an amazing time. We all left very stuffed! Will definitely be coming back!

We came here in September 2023 after having been to Stuzzi in Harrogate a few months before and absolutely loved it. The service and staff are incredible, very knowledgeable and welcoming, and let us try a couple of wines before deciding on a bottle. The menu changes fairly frequently but the arancini has been on the menu every time anyone I know has been, and it’s an absolute must order. We learned from our previous visit to order more than one as we loved it so much! The mains were also delicious.

Food was absolutely delicious. Not only was the food fantastic, so was the customer service. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Thank you to all at Stuzzi.

I tried your deep fried lasagna few weeks ago. I think is a good idea and is really tasty, but the portion is really really small for the price, is like a starter..

Book a table and give it a go 😉

Really good experience with entirely different concepts. The menu changes every time, which makes it more interesting. Will definitely try this again. Good wine choices.

I appreciate the effort to innovate. Some were good, others were not so great. I do think this place would have good potential for a date or double date though.

Expensive, Pretentious, some nice food (fish), some food (although different) was a bit average . Didnt really get it. Staff were ok. The look of the Restaurant was superb. Not my thing,sorry.

We had a meal for 14 people for my birthday so we had the group sharing menu and we all absolutely loved it. Every dish was delicious, there was loads of food with lots of variety and we didn't feel rushed at all. The staff were wonderful and so friendly and the wine was DELICIOUS. Can't recommend it enough - both for large groups and for date nights.

Food was excellent. Would recommend.

Possibly the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy. Love the whole concept of the ever changing menu. Lots of tasting and sharing plates as well as pasta. Can just continue to order throughout the meal until you feel you’ve had enough. Excellent wine menu as well for a range of tastes and pockets. Been following them for a while on Instagram so was excited to go and was better than I had hoped.

Diners with allergies, please be aware: Stuzzi's allergy notice currently relies heavily on disclaimers that shift responsibility onto the customer. While I understand the legal considerations, this approach can feel discouraging and isolating for people with dietary restrictions, like myself. Stuzzi, do better.

I've been here a couple of times in the last few months and both times the food has been very good. It's a nice atmosphere and the staff are helpful. This latest time I had an arancini ball (good chilli kick) and the leek and mushroom pasta dish - both delicious. We also has the crispy truffle pasta snacks (yummy!), it's not a bottom end of budget restaurant - especially when we washed our food down with prosecco - but good for a treat.

Fantastic lunch and very accommodating staff!

The glowing reviews I’d heard about Stuzzi certainly lived up to the hype. The food was absolutely phenomenal, the atmosphere was perfect and the service was quick, friendly and incredibly hospitable; without being intrusive. I will most certainly be back!

Lovely restaurant got to choose where we wanted to sit, music not too loud, service was perfect attentive but not too much. Small plates Italian incredible quality of food, so filling, priced reasonably and beautiful flavours.

We were welcome very warmly by the staff and they came to collect our order very promptly! I ordered the new cocktail blood orange margarita and it was delicious! The food was amazing, focaccia was good (but I’d say OWT on burley road has the edge with this). The golden beetroot was a new one for me, and I was struggling to share this one! I wanted it all for myself! I recommend this for special occasions or those times when you want to splash a little bit of cash!

One of the best restaurants in Leeds.

They were very accommodating when we had to change our booking last minute due to travel issues. Food was served quickly and all very tasty!

Unfortunately got extreme food poisoning from our meal on NYE. Service was great but would avoid the oysters

Food good but small plates don't really work for sharing. Best just to get two small plates for yourself. 3 people no drinks. Arancini to die for. Tiramisu very nice for pudding and large portion

Great evening here before going on to a show. Food was excellent along with the service would highly recommend.

Just spent a lovely evening at this restaurant. Very busy so I would suggest that you book in advance. Arrived at 6.30 to be warmly greeted and shown to our table, menu's were handed out and the restaurant concept explained which in a nutshell is fresh Italian seasonal sharing platters. We ordered olives, marinated anchovies and a mixed platter board to start with all very nice.We then followed it with a couple of pasta dishes,an aransino, and a brazed pork hock.this was then finished of with a dessert sharing platter and ice-cream. The menu's are changed often which is nice to see and the service is casual but very attentive. Will definitely be back again.

It was a great experience to dine at Stuzzi. i had the porchetta, the insalata with mint and the brussels sprouts with pancetta. I took the servers advice for wine which was also good.

Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. The food is delectable, highlight is the Lasagne Fritter but bare in mind the menu does change frequently. The desert board is also incredible. Service was great and atmosphere is nice, not too loud and plenty of space. Probably one of the best restaurants in Leeds, suitable for large groups. Also worth noting there are several great vegetarian options, possible a bit too many for me on a small menu but still tasty

Staff were lovely, welcoming and very knowledgeable - and to their credit we’re incredibly kind and understanding of our complaint. Unfortunately we were incredibly disappointed with the food, we had the crab which was far too salty and was so small that there wasn’t much at all, we also had the lasagna which was cold.

Had the most amazing meal here last weekend. Great, friendly service with everyone willing to answer all our food-related queries, delicious drinks and amazing food. We had three of the small plates between two of us. Desserts were phenomenal as well. We'll definitely be coming back!

My favourite restaurant in Leeds, we take all of our friends there and always go for special occasions! Food 10/10, great service and drinks. Cannot fault it, make serve you save room for dessert!

Absolutely amazing food, and the waiting staff were lovely. Good vegetarian/vegan options which the staff were happy to point out for us. Just wish I lived in Leeds so I could come back more often.

Staff were very attentive and very knowledgeable about wines that paired with courses. Catered to a nut allergy easily and were really friendly

Food was lush, service was great and the people working there genuinely seemed to enjoy their job which makes a huge difference to the experience.

Genuinely the best Sunday roast we’ve had in Leeds, by far. Delicious. Great wine & coffee. Really well thought out vegetarian options. Staff were all lovely. Can’t recommend enough.

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, if I could put 3.5 I would. I brought my partner here for his 30th birthday meal tonight, I’d first booked this place for my mum and dad and was told it was amazing so decided we must visit. We arrived on time and were shown to our table and given some water and the menus. Our drinks orders were taken, when the waiter brought our drinks back he asked us if we were ready to order. We asked for 2 more minutes to decide but he didn’t come back for 20 minutes unfortunately. We both had an appetiser but they were a little bit over cooked. The rest of our food was lovely, we really enjoyed it! One thing I wasn’t really keen on was all of the waitresses wearing low cut crop tops with their cleavage and stomachs out and leaning over the table, I don’t really want to see that when I’m out for a meal, it’s not professional and also it’s hard to tell who actually works there and who doesn’t. The customers were dressed more respectfully and covered up than the staff. Overall we really liked the food and the restaurant had a nice vibe to it. Will probably come back again another time. Thank you :-) but please consider some uniforms for staff!

Was recommended this restaurant by friends. The atmosphere and building was great. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and explained all the dishes. It is an Italian tapas of honest Italian food. We had several dishes that were all beautifully presented and prepared. Well worth a visit when in Leeds centre.

Came to Stuzzi for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, the place itself felt nice and chilled, the staff were friendly and the food was amazing! The flavours and seasoning were spot on, everything tasted so fresh and even the fried dishes didn’t taste greasy at all. The wines are all a little expensive but we thought the food was very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to come back

This hidden gem is a great place if you love Italian food! We loved the idea of the tapas, my favourite one was the goats cheese and beetroot tortellini and the nectarine frangipani to finish it off! Great presentation, food was delicious, friendly and attentive service! Well worth a visit!

First time I have been, and I left with a really good impression and excited to repeat again, the food It is so good I haven't tried the whole menu but the dishes I ordered they were soooo good personally. I would recommend the pappardelle it was amazing ( unfortunately, they change the menu very often, which it is what it makes you to go again and try the new dishes). The ambient is very friendly and enjoyable.

Tapas-style dishes (bigger than we're used to). The food is delicious and the wine list the longest I've seen. We had a vegan with us and there were 2 dishes suitable which she enjoyed. Good atmosphere and lovely staff.

Delicious authentic Italian food in a relaxed setting! Love how the menu changes regularly with some key stables including the Arancini which is a must-order!

Fantastic food in a great restaurant upstairs away from the hustle & bustle of the street. Homemade pasta with chicken livers was the superb highlight as was every other small dish. That donut, icecream brownie hybrid is something else too, I’ve dreamt about it since. Service was brilliant, very relaxed and very helpful. Will definitely be back again, again and again 🤌🏻🇮🇹🍝

We went in for a light lunch. We got a lovely welcome coming through the door. All food meant to be shared, in tapas style. Best arancino I've ever had. And the chocolate cake was sublime!

Another fantastic meal and experience after a last minute change to dinner plans. The team were fantastic, the food was delicious and the wine was AMAZING!!! Favourite restaurant in Leeds!

Great spot. Probs one of the best in Leeds. Great regular changing small plates menu, great Italian wine list plus they do a roast on Sundays. Staff always helpful. Dog friendly

Visited for lunch on Saturday 13th august Staff friendly and informed as it was our first time waiter suggested we pick 4 plates to share plus starters Well for starter we just picked bread and olives safe and tasty no complaints there Mains we picked stuffed courgette flower with ricotta , arancini, tagliatelle and pigs ears So all the “meat” on the menu was cheap cuts the pigs ears were awful truly challenging texture very odd !! Not for us , the tagliatelle I didn’t like either was greasy and at £14.50 for a small plate was very overpriced The other 2 dishes were ok nothing special Cheapest white wine was an Alsace at £28 and was very dull ! Bill came to £83 I did have a voucher for £30 but even with that off it was still way too much to pay Will definitely never return !

Limited menu . Mains mainly vegetarian except for crispy pigs ears and ox tongue dishes ! However starter platter of olives mixed meats and cheese really tasty . Arancini very good . Service good . Staff generally friendly and helpful

Excellent. Really cool. Ace small plates of something a little unusual but really tasty. The pasta was amazing as was the dessert. Quite a dynamic atmosphere and lots of staff around to serve. I'd highly recommend coming here and suggest being brave when choosing your dish, it's all so delicious.

Nice food and ambiance. Italian tapas kind of place.

The lamb dish and arrancino were the stars of the show by far. The pasta that they make and sell at the market are also lovely

First visit here and very impressed. Was busy but service was still good. Very interesting menu along Italian tapas lines. Lovely arancini parpadelle and steak strips to name check a few. Nicely presented with some lovely twists. Not cheap but still value for money. Don’t mind paying for quality. Definitely worth a visit

Outstandingly good food matched by enthusiastic staff! NomNomNom

Hiya x Although reaching 30 years of age at times felt like it may be less of an inevitability and more of a factor of luck, I made it. As a result it was decided that a celebration was well and truly deserved. Stuzzi, which has fast become a culinary landmark and a place I would bet my belt buckle on to be the best spot in town, was the only choice for me. We were easily 4 negronis to the wind when we knocked on door asking if we had arrived on the correct day. “Yes, get in side with your silly selves” the kind clerk replied. We were met by a staggeringly long table for me and my many many friends to call our own for the next few hours. Straight from the word ciao we were met with smiles and offers of even more booze, delicious. The food was extraordinary and served at the exact right times, temperatures & textures. If you have chance and feel like treating yourself, these guys truly are purveyors of fine Italian stuff. Thanks for feeding us xxxxxxx

The food is good but the staff are really sullen. No smiles, no warmth, they looked a little out by our presence. Customer service needs work

Sharing antipasto board + 3 other starters and 2 main dishes was enough for four of us. I'd avoid the deep fried pasta if I went again.

Loved it all xx arancino, ricotta, papadelle, pata....do you know what ? ALL OF IT!!!! JUST HAVE ALL OF IT!!! All with amazing service xxx thank you xx

Visited with a friend and what a find. Will definitely be back. The quality of food, service and ambience is top notch. The arancini are to die for and the cheese board was delicious. I’ll be back!

I've never had such a delicious Sunday roast as here! The gravy was beautiful and thick (and lots of it), the potatoes and Yorkshire were stunning, but the meat just fell apart in your mouth. Absolutely lovely. It is dog friendly and they let us find a quiet corner so my dog didn't get too distracted. Service was friendly and excellent, and the wine was beautiful, a great selection and the waiter will let you try ones that are open. Only downside is that it's upstairs, so anyone with mobility issue couldn't come in.

Italian tapas, weird right? NO! Great food and a great variety of food at that. The dishes are a generous portion size, the pasta dishes we had were essentially a full portion. I wanted wine but wasn’t sure on which one so the waiter let me try a few and talked me through what would go well with the food. Would absolutely recommend, I’ll be going back for sure!

We’ve eaten at Stuzzi a few times now and we’ve never been disappointed. The food and service are amazing! Staff are attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and wines. We have something different every time we visit. Yesterday, was our first Sunday roast and it was gorgeous and we’ll be going back again soon. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday celebration at Stuzzi this week! Stuzzi had been recommended by friends so many times and it did not disappoint! Staff were able to accommodate a large booking with little warning. Our waitress explained the menu to us and offered some advice on choosing dishes. We shared several small plates between us, all of which were delicious! The battered stuffed courgette flower was a highlight! The menu changes frequently so there are plenty of new things to try! It was a nice airy space with a chilled atmosphere. The restaurant also surprised us with a birthday dessert, which was very sweet! All together a lovely celebration, I am already looking forward to returning!

Fantastic food all round and great service

My youngest who lives in Leeds booked a table for 5-the building was nicely decorated-the food was okay but well overpriced for the amount received as were the drinks.Service was okay-however i was not aware of the sting in the tail when the bill was presented i was asked to pay a service charge of over £24 -now i have just checked the website and i don't see anything reference service charges and nothing was visible on menus.I paid the full bill but was not happy-in fact i think it is illegal found this on google - Some restaurants add a compulsory service charge to your bill, and others leave it to your discretion. "In essence you have the right to refuse to pay the service charge in either circumstance if the service falls below a reasonable standard. For me a tip is for the customer to decide- not a expectation by the restaurant to add a service charge - if the food the quality and service are good i tip. We thought it was overpriced and under served portion wise. Would i have tipped under normal circumstances no.

Reasonable Portion Sizes The restaurant offered appropriately sized portions, ensuring that guests felt satisfied without excessive food wastage.

Interesting last minute find. Food was very good although could have eaten more, but guess that not the point. Good for a light to medium luncheon and we did enjoy. 5 persons 5 plates £67 could have ordered bread as a bit of a filler...
