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.

Veeno is the right place of you want to relax, drink something and chill. You have a wide selection of Italian cheese and ham, non mentioning wines. Go there if you want to breath some Italian air. Mention to the staff: they are friendly, professional and they work really hard. Thanks guys!!!

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!

Lovely cosy venue, great food, will come again

Looking for non pretentious eatery in Leeds on a weekend break. Walked past this restaurant on way into town from our hotel. Was early evening so quiet. No booking required. Very friendly front of house man. Food was so nice here , would definetly recommend this place to anyone looking for an Italian meal.

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!

The best food I've had and such a reasonable price Alessandro was very nice too.

Disappointed with the food which tasted asnof it had been repeated and not as fresh or hot as I'd expect
