The best restaurants serving Italian food in Mirfield Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

Passing through Mirfield on the navigation on a Saturday, couldn't be bothered to cook so sought out something a little more upmarket than the pub's burgers. This restaurant is around 3/4 mile out of town and at first sight situated in a less than ideal location, next to an industrial/trading estate. But once through the doors, a warm welcome - the proprietor juggled tables to make room for the three of us (around 1800) on what was otherwise a fully booked evening. We all opted for the salmon special on a bed of spinach, veg or salad side dish included at £19.50. Fish precisely cooked - big tick! The usual range of Italian puddings, and none the worse for that as they were very well done. Went off-piste with the wine, a NZ sauvignon blanc (at £28), in order to get a drier mouthful than the house white. So, around £108, before tip, for the three of us - acceptable for food and wine of this standard. Would return (with a booking!) if in the area again.

Very poor service. It took an age to order, the starters and mains were messed up and came out incorrectly. One persons food came 20 minutes later. After 1hr 25 mins the rest of the food came. There was no recognition from the management about this who even told me the 10% service charge on the bill was because the government told them to add it! Shambles. Will not be returning.

Literally the worst service and food. Speak to women like second class citizens. Gets orders wrong and don’t admit liability them, make feeble excuses with no apologies. £31 for food no better than the local kebab shop. Don’t waste your money !
