Just great. Booked on the basis of Jay Rayner's review and we were not disappointed in the slightest. Great, tasty and well presented dishes. Good honest food in pleasant surroundings and attentive, relaxed staff. Pricing reflected the quality. A good wine list with a great selection of wine available by the glass or carafe whi h was perfect for lunch. I haven't enjoyed lunch so much for a long time.

There are meals that live in childhood memories like liver, bacon and mash, which suddenly appear later in life like old friends that have undergone some extraordinary transformation and somehow appear younger, smarter and more interesting than you would normally expect. Zucco - which occupies an anonymous corner spot in the Meanwood suburb of Leeds is a place where this kind of transformation can be experienced in plates of delightful Italian food. For old-fashioned liver and bacon, prepare to be stunned by a Zucco transformation of soft, dark calves’ liver floating on cloudy mashed potatoes in a light mushroom sauce that is pierced by a perfect shard of dry-roasted prosciutto crudo. It’s the kind of place where you are tempted to keep things simple and just say, “you know what, I’ll just order the whole menu.” Wonderful food that is more “Italian-inspired,” than just Italian - a quite sublime dining experience.

This was my first trip to this jewel of a restaurant and literally down the road from my home. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our food, drinks & service. Forget about the city centre with its expensive car parking. This restaurant is a MUST TRY! The pan fried sea bass was excellent. The tagliatelle salmon just melted in the mouth. The deep fried zucchini with mint was delicious. A warm family atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

I've been to this Italian restaurant a few times now and it is fantastic. The food is delicious and there is plenty of option on the menu. The dishes are a nice sized portion, they are just right and not too big. There is a good choice of cocktails on the drinks menu and the desserts are yummy especially the cannoli. The staff are all very attentive and welcoming. There is a lovely atmosphere and the decor is beautiful with pretty flowers on the tables. It is definitely a five star restaurant!

We decided to have dinner here because I work for Dpd and I regularly deliver to Zucco's. I have seen how hard the owner & his team works from early doors every morning, so I thought with the amount of graft goes in, it's got to be worth a try. Well what can I say the food was absolutely unreal, every dish we had was exquisite. Authentic fresh food made with love. You have to experience it to see how truly delicious it is. (The white chocolate tart for dessert was something else!) Every member of the team was brilliant as well, Very friendly and attentive. The place was full, every single table, on a Tuesday night. Shows that this place is doing something right. Thank you and bravo Mr. Leggario.👏👏👏

A great little restaurant that knows what it is, with staff that know how to work as a team. I had booked another restaurant but they called last minute to say their kitchen was closed; Zucco were able to fit us in last minute (don’t know how - it was busy - perhaps they took pity on my situation.) From entering the restaurant, through seating, drinks and all the courses the staff were more than polite and hospitable. They were first rate. Amazing teamwork, seamlessly working our table and the room it was easy to forget it wasn’t the same person. Clearly great teamwork is something this place prizes highly. We shared a pizzetta starter which was perfect to curb our hunger. Then main course of Sea Bass for one and a Chicken Diavolo. Both were delicious. Side order of Rosemary potatoes was large enough, again, to share. Wine - there was multiple wine by the glass options with more wines available by the bottle. Large glasses served in a small bottle was a lovely little touch. This place has got it right - right down to clean toilets (one always needs to check!). There was no sense of rush. The staff were calm but always on it. I could simply not find fault if I tried.

We last dined at Zucco’s in 2018 when the plates were smaller, distinctive and very tasty. A recent recommendation led us back for a birthday celebration. Sadly, our experience did not live up to expectations. Put simply, most of us have had better plates of similar food e.g. battered prawns, pasta, haddock, and at lower prices. My baby dover sole with capers was fine (if bony) but didn’t impress. Two of us had tiramisu which mostly comprised soaked sponge under a thin layer of mascarpone, rather than evenly layered. We were seated away from good ventilation on a warm evening, so that didn’t help. The service, however, deserves a positive mention; friendly and reasonably efficient given that the place was packed with diners.

Fui allí para el almuerzo hoy. Pedí 6 platos pequeños en total (había mucha comida para 2 personas). Arancini estaba muy delicioso, ¡gran textura! El pez espada era un plato ligero, bien equilibrado en sabores. También disfrutamos pizetta de salchicha siciliana y eglefino ahumado. Fue una pena que el conejo estuviera demasiado cocido, porque la salsa estaba genial y debería ser un plato muy bueno. Los ravioles Nduja eran ricos en sabor (¡delicioso!). El servicio fue amable y educado. Precioso interior (¡me encantó el techo!). Amplia carta de vinos. Los precios eran adecuados para lo que obtienes.En resumen, todo fue genial (a pesar del conejo, pero tal vez no fue el día correcto; quién sabe ...) y valió la pena viajar hasta Meanwood solo para el almuerzo. ¡Definitivamente regresaremos de nuevo!

Cena con la familia que incluye un vegano y un niño no experimental de 11 años. ¡Qué lugar tan maravilloso! Los platos pequeños no eran tan pequeños: nos dejamos llevar por completo y pedimos más de lo que podíamos manejar (lo empacaron amablemente para llevar a casa), atentos y serviciales en cada etapa del pedido, marcaron claramente lo que era adecuado para los veganos y se ofrecieron a veganizar la mayoría. platos, no pudieron ayudarnos o ayudarnos lo suficiente sin ningún indicio de agresividad - este es un lugar que no escatima en personal, rápido, eficiente y profesional - no se pasa nada por alto. . . ¿los alimentos? Sublime: cada plato estaba delicioso, la bruschetta era un poco cara, pero cuando llegó se podía ver por qué: completamente cargada con la mozzarella más fresca y diferentes variedades de tomate, el tagliatelle de champiñones y trufa era probablemente mi asignación de calorías para todo el día, pero increíble y vale la pena cada bocado. No estoy seguro de que entendiéramos el concepto de compartir platos; nos parecíamos más al labrador que guarda nuestros platos, pero me las arreglé para robar una rebanada de los ravioles de bacalao, que fue increíble. El arancini y el calabacín / menta eran tan frescos y sabrosos que nada era insípido o decepcionante, todo lo contrario a la comida italiana de la semana pasada en una elegante pérdida de tiempo / lugar en la parte alta de la ciudad. un tiramisú innecesario para terminar y sin manchas intensas - sabor perfectamente equilibrado. Cremoso, frío a la perfección. No puedo esperar a volver, gracias

Me reuní con mi primo para compartir la noticia de que había roto con mi novio. Cuando nos sentamos pedimos nuestras bebidas. Los camareros eran geniales, cambiaron una margarita estándar para acomodar nuestro paladar de vodka. Cada plato era delicioso. Esta no era mi primera vez, sin embargo, mi primo nunca antes había cenado en Zucco's. Estaba tan impresionada que también quería irse con comida para llevar. El entrante de pez espada tenía un sabor delicado, un gran comienzo para la comida. El lenguado Baby Dover con mantequilla de alcaparras estaba fuera de este mundo, aunque el chef se perdió el samphire, no importaba la próxima vez que verifique que incluye todos los ingredientes. ¡Mi prima tenía el Frito Miso que le enganchó! Cada bocado de ternera era delicado y lleno de sabor, tanto que intentó reservar para la semana siguiente con su hija. Tuvimos una gran experiencia gastronómica.

More importantly, the quality of the food was superb and as we have experienced when dining at the restaurant in “normal times”. We have managed to have a take out treat each Saturday since lockdown and this is by far the best we have had.

This restaurant is arguably my favourite restaurant in Leeds and definitely the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. The decor is stylish and the atmosphere warm. There is great attention to detail and I love eating at the bar area. The penne arrabiata is gorgeous and has a bit of spice to it that I think it always should have. My husband always has the vongole, if it is on the menu as it changes depending on the ingredients they have in, which he adores. The flatbreads are great, the skate wing... honestly you can’t choose badly on this menu. Great selection of wines and Italian cocktails too.

Visited with family and friends on Saturday. First impressions were good. Jam packed and yet still able to accommodate an addition to our party. Prices are very reasonable to the extent that you wonder about the quality. You needn't. Everything was freshly cooked. Varied menu included ray wing which is not often seen on menus as well as Italian staples. Starters arrived quickly and were all well excecuted. Hake and ray wing both excellent as were other main choices. Portions fine for us but hungrier diners may want to add sides which were again reasonably priced.

This is the most delightful family run resturant, a real find on our weekend away. The food is superb, all fresh and cooked to order. We had a selection of small plates, presented to the highest standard and the best I have tasted in a very long time. The staff are very polite, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the service admirable.I would't hesitate to go back to this resturant at every given oppotunity, just to work my way through the menu, infact I would struggle to go anywhere else where I feel the food would be of the same standared for such a reasonable price. ( 3 people ) Change from £50.00 including an excellent bottle of fizz.

Excellent smallish portions that used seasonal veg etc. Veg, fish (soft crab) and meat all v good. But they need to dump their Cab firm (Premier) who kept us waiting for 40 minutes. Staff were concerned on our behalf and meekly informed us that "it is just 5 mins away" on 2/3 occassions. Would go again but use Uber/Amber.

Dos grandes cosas sobre Zucco, la comida y la fiabilidad. Debo haber revisado esto antes, pero después de otro delicioso almuerzo hoy debo hacer otro.

Me recomendaron este pequeño y acogedor restaurante italiano, ya que Meanwood Road no sería mi primera elección, sin embargo, me sorprendió gratamente. El personal era amable y dispuesto a explicar el menú a mi pariente anciano. Ambos elegimos una comida de tres platos que era encantador. La comida que obviamente estaba recién hecha era deliciosa. El orden de los calabacines fritos era realmente sabroso y los canelones sicilianos con relleno tradicional de ricotta eran fabulosos. Sin duda volveré para una cena la próxima vez, ya que imagino que el restaurante tendrá un gran ambiente cuando esté ocupado.

Hemos visitado Zucco muchas veces, desde que se abrieron por primera vez y siempre hemos tenido una excelente comida y servicio. Los pequeños platos para compartir hacen que sea una experiencia gastronómica maravillosa; naturalmente, cuanto más hay de ustedes mejor, ya que puede probar todo, pero igualmente hemos amado una cena improvisada dos veces.

Domingo 28/04/19 En primer lugar, el menú es un extraño conglomerado de platos en su mayoría pequeños a un precio inferior a 10 como si fuera un bar de tapas pero no lo es. Es mucho tratar de ser un auténtico restaurante italiano, excepto que aparentemente nadie les dijo que este tipo de menú no es la forma en que la gente come en Italia. En segundo lugar, no he tenido tan mal servicio de camareros y camareras en mucho tiempo. Pedí aceitunas como entrante ligero. También pedí una jarra de vino tinto, pero por alguna razón absurda que el personal consideraba conveniente negarme el vino hasta que comiera las aceitunas, como un niño travieso que debe comer sus verduras hasta que se le permita comer algo. Esto fue después de haber esperado 20 minutos para que alguien se molestara en tomar mi pedido. Luego, cuando llegó el 'principal', esperé casi 5 minutos a que siguiera el vino. Finalmente, cuando pagué y, generosamente, le dejé una propina, la camarera con el cabello castaño y las gafas que habían sido indiferentes en el mejor de los casos toda la noche, luego dijo: "y ahí está su recibo". Como si ni siquiera mereciera lo básico. Modicum de modales de un "gracias". Mi consejo: evite y vaya a Casa Mia (Capilla Allerton) o Giorgio (Far Headingley) donde los menús son muy superiores, más auténticos y el servicio es excelente. Debería saber, he vivido en Leeds durante 5 años.

No es obvio de inmediato, pero este es un restaurante estilo "tapas", por lo tanto porciones más pequeñas. Habiendo dicho eso, la comida es muy buena, aunque los espaguetis estaban hechos para mí (y para mi invitado italiano).

I definitely recommend booking ahead for this restaurant as when we arrived it was very busy but we had reserved. Lovely atmosphere inside and all members of staff were very welcoming and attentive. There were lots of choice on their menu, something for Everyone. We ordered many different little plates to share and there were divine. Everything single item didn’t disappoint and we could of bought the whole menu. Next time I am in Leeds, we are coming here- now it is my favourite restaurant I have ever been to.

We have visited Zucco 4 times and loved it more each time we visit! 9 of us went on Sunday forr Mother’s Day and it was great. We ranged in age from 5 to 88 and everyone enjoyed it. The service was excellent and the staff are always so friendly and always smiling. There are some very unusual dishes on the menu but I do think there is something for everyone. The small plates are great for sharing lots of different Italian dishes.

I’ve visited this place several times with my elderly cousin and each time had a great experience. The staff are helpful and know the shortish but varied (and varying) menu well. I enjoyed the rabbit last time and my cousin loved the langoustines followed by polenta cake. On a previous visit I had rose veal sirloin which is sadly now out of season.

Really interesting simply tasty food. Try something different and you will be pleasantly surprised. The green veg, zucchini and tomato salad is a taste sensation! Lots of slow cooked meat stews with meat falling off the bone. Never had the pasta here because the meat and veg dishes are so good. Service is always good and the staff know the menu well!

We'll priced, good quality food. Mostly shall plates for sharing. About four to six choices should be more than enough to fill two regular sized people. Staff were friendly and polite and seemed knowledgeable about the wine available.

We had dinner at Zucco on a Friday evening. Restaurant was full of diners and has a real buzz. Very friendly and efficient staff. Food comes in ' small plates ' but in truth they are not that small. There were four of us and everyone greatly enjoyed their meal. I started with burrata as did one of our friends. Then a fish course, in my case seared salmon, for fish course my wife had lemon sole on the bone. Then a meat course, I had ox cheeks with peas and rice, as did one of our friends. It was superb and all the food for all of us was very good.Highly recommended but need to book for dinner rather than chance it. Quieter at lunch.

Visited early on a Wednesday evening and within half an hour the place was full, which tells you everything you need to know about the reputation this place already has. The welcome was friendly and the staff knowledgeable. The menu has a fair amount of choice, including enough vegetarian options to keep one of our party happy. They serve 'small plates' and two plates would be a decent main unless you are very hungry or not having a dessert - which would be a shame as the espresso martini brownie is not to be missed. We shared all our plates and they were all superb - try the Parmesan Chicken. My only small complaint is that they don't stock a non alcoholic beer. But the service and food were superb and the bill for three including mains, a desert, wine and coffee was £66 which is fantastic value that deserves 5 stars.

Visited this evening, the only table could get was at 5:30pm which told me that this place should be good! There is no car park so on street parking so can be difficult.

It's all round an amazing experience to dine in Zucco, from their friendly and helpful staff to the incredible detail and taste they give to their food. The atmosphere is spot on making it a very relaxed but fun environment and the food! the food is just divine! Arancini and scamorza affumicata pizzetta for starters, prawns, baccala and seafood stew for mains (I am pescatarian) and if you are vegetarian the veggie pastas are ALL delicious but I would personally recommend the tagliatelli al burro. I just keep going back again and again, any excuse I can make to eat here!

It’s always difficult to take new family members to somewhere you’ve raved about but Zucco met all expectations. Our party ranged across three generations aged from 6 to 70! The ambience was great, the staff were amiable and the food first rate. Wonderful evening!

First the good news - it is possible to drive to Zucco's without getting lost in the Leeds City road system, or encounter the many; speed, bus lane and traffic lights cameras, parking is also free.

First ever visit and so delighted with everything. The reception the menu the friendliness and the time taken to talk us through the specials and the main menu. The food was excellent and made us feel like we were in a special friend’s house in Sicily. Absolutely loved it will definitely be going again
