The best restaurants serving Italian food in City and Hunslet Leeds Yorkshire and The Humber

My sister and I had wanted to try here for a while and let’s say it didn’t disappoint! It is so tiny so I highly recommend you book as I lost count of the number of people that were turned away whilst we were eating. It’s not flash in terms of decor, cute though and rustic. The staff are so lovely and really the reviews speak for themselves on the quality of the food. We shared the nduja croquettes and the arancini to start. I’m a big arancini fan and this spinach and mozzarella one was one of the best I have been had! And how a tomato sauce can taste so different to any other tomato sauce I’ll never know. My sister had the famed pistachio pasta for main and I the nduja orecchiette. It was beautiful, can’t rate it highly enough. The wine was very reasonably priced and our bill leaving a tip was £70. Not that we are by any means foodies so to speak but we eat in Leeds together at least once a month and very rarely go anywhere again mainly due to so many great places but I would love to come here again and I’m sure we will. I can imagine on an evening you would imagine that you were in Rome or Florence or somewhere equally as beautiful. Believe the hype about La Piola and go! 🥰❤️

Was there last night, cannot rate the place highly enough. Food, service, atmosphere and value for money was unbelievable. The waitress was so professional and friendly. Can’t wait to go back

Pizza absolutamente de clase mundial. ¡Posiblemente demasiado bueno, anhelando otro! Claramente, tanto tiempo y pasión dedicados a estas pizzas, muy por encima de cualquiera que haya probado antes.

La carte donne envie, j’me suis laissé tenter par un tacos au poulet. Mélange de saveur j’ai adoré, j’étais sur Leeds de passage, si je retourne sur Leeds il y a de grandes chances que j’y retourne.

We made a booking for 7 and ordered food at about 7:45 and food did not start to arrive until 9.10. During this time there was no communication from staff to explain the reason for the delay. The wait staff did not check in once to see if more drinks were needed. The place was not very busy, with lots of empty tables. They advised that it was because a large table ordered beforehand but expectations should have been set before we ordered.

Delicious food. The only criticism is the length of time taken for service. Waiting an age for drinks, and even longer afywr mains for the dessert requests. Everything was delicious when it arrived, just don't go too hungry or you'll be eating your own arm by the time the food arrives!

Me and my girlfriend choose to come here for her birthday meal. The staff were lovely however the food was not up to par, I ordered the fresh crab meat pici and chose to upgrade to lobster for an extra £16 on top of the already £16 meal. The pasta was very chewy and under cooked and the lobster was lacking any meat on it at all, a miniscule portion for the price. My girlfriend got the Carbonara and barely touched it as it did not taste like a carbonara at all and the sauce was just egg yolk. The employees were lovely however the food was over priced and not very nice. We also mentioned it was my girlfriends birthday when booking and this was not acknowledged either. Would not recommend.

Excellent restaurant! Don't miss this garlic mushroom soup! (Delicious! No need to step on any blind spots!

Sela bar is fabulous venue. Amazing staff Amazing atmosphere Amazing food and amazing music. Cannot highly recommend enough....especially when Louis Louis Louis playing live. A must if you've not already!

Great student bottomless brunch!! Definitely worth doing with friends!! Ryan our server was very attentive with all our drinks!

Went here for a meal before going to Grand Theatre to see Sister Act. It may not look great but Brilliant Pizzas and simple but fresh salad. Great friendly service. Just what was needed a perfect pre theatre meal.

Muy buen café. Excelente selección de bocadillos, pasteles y bollería. El personal era muy amable y el café era fantástico.

The pasta was lovely and amazing service but there was literally no sauce to the point I couldn’t taste it :( was very disappointed as i’d been so excited to try!

Took an hour and a half for the order to be delivered after it was placed. Terrible service

We absolutely loved our family meal here. Dimitri was just the best. All of the food and service is just perfect. We eat out a lot but this is far better. Thank you!
