The best restaurants serving Italian food in Holme Valley South Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

Another exceptional evening at this fabulous restaurant. My daughter’s 20th birthday party, the food service and ambience was absolutely first class. 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

Arrived in Friday evening to a lovely welcome and beautiful cocktail in the bar. We were shown to our table by a lovely lady and told our waitress would be with us shortly and go through the specials of the day .... we waited ... and waited ... eventually our waitress arrived and we ordered drinks whichever took over 15 mins to arrive ! Then another lady came to take our order ... where we were curtly told there were no specials ! One of the party asked if she could have the scallops without fennel... she was told NO... she did not go speak to the chef. The food service was really slow. We had a pleasant prawn cocktail... pretty presentation... but nothing special then 2 of us had chicken risotto ... at £24 I expected a nice dish. It was tasty but drier than risotto should be. We requested another bottle of wine and the waitress didn't appear happy ... it was not late no idea what her issue was. All in all other than the bar the evening was extremely expensive at £90 per head for a mediocre meal nice but expensive wine and poor service . We took time to email our feelings before writing this review and were not even treated to a reply. I think this restaurant had a stunning setting and lovely ideas but lots to improve on as far as I'm concerned

Ordered Parma ham and mushroom pizza to collect Saturday evening. The meat had an ‘off’ taste. It was very oily with far too much cheese and oregano. The base was soggy and chewy. Rang and gave feed back and was kindly asked feted a replacement without the ham. Sadly, it was just as disappointing so we couldn’t eat it.

Order pizza approx 5:45 pm with pickup time 18:30. Picked up the pizza approx 18:15 when received message ready to collect. Got home 5 mins later and then pizza was cold. They had obviously cooked the pizza early and it had been sitting around. Godawful.
