The best restaurants serving Italian food in Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

Went with the family and were made to feel very welcome. Friendly service excellent coffee, pastries and a cracking tiramisu would highly recommend.

This establishment had a lovely homely feel. The food was excellent and the chef ensured the meal was exciting and tasty. The drinks were excellent, overall a lovely place for a night out.

Highly recommend the chicken and chorizo pizza. The staff were amazing and brilliant service. 10/10 from me

A fabulous coffee shop, great food and friendly staff

I visited last night with 2 friends for a last minute dinner after visiting the Turkish Baths. I had the braised beef shin with added Burrata - it was absolutely AMAZING!! I genuinely cannot wait to go back and have it again. The service was efficient and lovely wine too. Can't recommend it enough

Lovely food, great service - there were 9 of us and the food all came at the same time so no one was left waiting - thank you!

We recently met friends in Harrogate and discovered Buon Gusto while looking for an establishment to eat at. I have lived in Harrogate many years and had never found it before. What a wonderful experience from the moment to walked in, the staff were so friendly. We had a superb evening, the food was delicious, I had a seafood pasta dish with lots of fish in it, which is unusual in most restaurants I have eaten at. The prices are very reasonable. We will certainly be back. Many thanks

We visited this restaurant after spending most of the day at a car meet-up at Grantley Hall, having travelled from London. I had done some research beforehand and chose this spot based on the strong reviews—and for the most part, it lived up to the hype. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our waiter Olivia, who was friendly, attentive, and really made us feel looked after throughout the evening. With big appetites, we kicked off with three starters: 1. Pork skewers – Small portions and the meat lacked standout flavour. I wouldn’t recommend this dish. 2. Calamari – Unfortunately, this was quite tough. The batter was thin and underwhelming in taste. 3. Meatballs – Nicely flavoured and enjoyable, though again, the portion size was on the smaller side. While the starters didn’t quite meet our expectations, things took a dramatic turn for the better with the main course. I ordered the lasagna, which Olivia had confidently recommended—and it absolutely delivered. It was piping hot, with a perfect crispy exterior and a soft, rich interior. Every bite was packed with flavour and clearly prepared with care. Hands down, the best lasagna I’ve had in a long time—highly recommended! For dessert, I went with the Baileys chocolate ganache, and it was another winner—smooth, indulgent, and perfectly balanced in flavour. Service from Olivia was top-notch—genuinely one of the highlights of the evening. Final thoughts: Skip the starters and go straight for the mains and desserts. The lasagna alone is worth the visit. A lovely experience overall. Best regards, FERRARI Matty

Still sat at the table after a lush meal, and wanted to leave a review immediately. Took the family - 3 teens- who are notoriously fussy and all 3, loved the food - the ribs for starters were beautifully cooked and so tasty, the seafood croquettes equally delicious pizza were lip smacking devoured at speed - all in all a gorgeous 90 minutes of family company with exceptional food!

Luckily for us we swerved the Premier Inn next door and booked here at Al Bivio Top service and food and a lovely venue with atmosphere and warmth. The staff were so welcoming, the service was exceptional and the food was amazing at a very reasonable price. Met at the door, asked if wanted to hang out coats, seen straight to our table, very attentive staff with a smiles and a genuine warmth. Would definitely recommend 100% and will return when next in the area

Stumbled on this restaurant, food was delicious, atmosphere really nice too. Staff were attentive and friendly. Price very reasonable. Would highly recommend

Simply and casually furnished in an imaginatively refurbished 18th century property close to the square. Service is very friendly, heavily reminiscent of the casual atmosphere in countryside Italian restaurants and not pushy. The menu is extensive in an era of increasingly limited choice and pricing is sensible. The tasty Murano lager and house Puglian red were surprisingly premium in taste and drinking enjoyment. The kitchen is open to the restaurant and a hive of co-ordinated activity. We tried a selection of seafood, Pasta and pizza dishes and very much enjoyed our dining experience here. The pizza has a delightfully thin base; the toppings are unusually generous and, crucially, fresh. It's a cut above many Italian restaurants that are now losing their individuality and flair. It's clearly a popular and regular haunt for locals - another good sign.

One star hygiene rating. Avoid! Paper work issues alone won't make it one star. I have recently seeing this place closing early. Is it going out of business?

Been going to Pizza World for years, and almost every time the food is great. The staff, who have been there for years, are great and always accommodating.
