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

We had quite a mixed experience at Al Bivio, where we had to eat as the neighbouring Premier Inn had made a hash of their evening meal provision. We went on two occasions: an excellent pizza, with a generous home-made base, and a delicious pasta dish with chicken and white wine. However, from the Specials lists, a lasagne was quite tough, and my seafood risotto over-salty, though I would add that it was generously filled. A pet theme of mine: this restaurant is NOISY! Not one single absorbent surface anywhere, just a bare glass frontage and plain walls that reflect sound. Having a conversation in here feels like hard work.

Really well cooked meals very delicious. Excellent service too. Would really recommend very nice decor and lovely staff.

Went for dinner, we both had the risotto, I had the gorgonzola risotto which was amazing and my friend had the salmon and prawn. A lovely glass of white wine, which was served well chilled and was a very nice wine. Very helpful and friendly staff. We went early doors, but the restaurant soon filled up, and had a great atmosphere.

Very busy Saturday night but staff were great, helpful and friendly. Food came out quickly. Lovely deep fried potato skins as starter and then one of the best calzones I've had. My wife really enjoyed her spagbol

Great food, impeccable service, portions were huge!

Went tonight as part of a very large group (60+) and the staff were simply amazing at accommodating us and making us feel incredibly safe and welcome. The food was divine and so fresh. Would definitely look to come here again if I’m in Harrogate again.

I have had several calzones from here thinking after i told them about the first time they got it wrong, they would give a **** but no wrong after wrong order. Do not order if you are allergic and need 1 item off a pizza as they may well pit you in hospital

Went yesterday for breakfast and every single thing from the coffee to the perfectly cooked eggs on delicious bread to the service was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.

Upmarket Italian Restaurant with all the classic dishes and more you would expect from an established chain. The atmosphere and service was top notch. I sampled some interesting cocktails, a delicious Calamari starter, and a rich tiramisu that melted in the mouth. I was not entirely convinced with the steak which was lacking in juices, flavour, and was a tad bit dry and tough. Will stick to the more 'traditional' Italian mains next time.

Quick service and very good food. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially Silvia! Would recommend

We have been dining at Gianni’s for nearly 40 years with our children, family & friends. Despite moving up north 10 years ago it’s always a pleasure to go back. The staff are always so welcoming & of course, Gianni a legend.
