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

Me and my husband decided to treat ourselves this year to Christmas Day at Rustico! Staff were really pleasant and a drink was presented to us on arrival. All food was delicious and cooked to the right specification. Yes it was more expensive than any other day of the year… but on Christmas Day there’s so much more to consider.. staff wages and the fact staff missed out on time with their own families to accommodate us. Well done Rustico staff we will definitely return!

Delicious food with an amazing starter to kick things off! Stylish vibe, great location, spotless clean, and excellent service —the perfect spot for a quality Italian meal 👌

Excellent pub. Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices for a city centre pub. Great food and entertainment.

The waitress was lovely and food was great there wasn't anything to fault

Best takeaway we have had for some time!

Visited Easter Saturday for lunch. We took family that we haven’t taken before and they also loved it! Food was superb as ever, portion sizes were bigger I’m sure as we couldn’t finish our dishes! The food here is amazing always! The Gambas Pil Pil apparently are stunning! I had tagliatelle beef stroganoff off the specials board, partner had half half calzone / pizza… brought 1/3rd home 👍👌👍

The Owner, Ben, is a magician. Amazing food, fresh ingredients, atmosphere is amazing. Staff is supper friendly, deliocious breakfeasts, in city centre, good coffee, nice tea. Clean and neat. 71A Northgate, next to parking. I higly recommend it. As well as Pizza yard. Enjoy! Bellisdimo!!!

Wow wow wow this place is amazing. On arrival the staff open the doors welcome you with the friendliest smile, show you to your table and allow the perfect amount of time to choose your meal. The food is just out of this world this for sure is the best Italian I have been to in West Yorkshire! (And I have been to lots including big chain ones too) The atmosphere here is brilliant, very clean and authentic even down to the lighting. Staff so the staff are a pure delight so attentive and clearly very happy with the vibes they give.

Not surprised this restaurant has closed. They describe their cuisine as fine dining but they obviously do not understand what fine dining is. Slow service, dreadful pizza with undercooked dough (how come they can't produce a good pizza in an Italian restaurant?), tough chicken, lukewarm vegetables. Poor choice for vegetarians.

We were a party of 8 celebrating an Engagement & 30th Birthday and were welcomed by friendly helpful staff. The drinks were reasonable, the food was good and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We had a lovely evening and will definitely go back again.

We phoned to see what time La Gondola was closing at and were told in 2 hours. We arrived 20 minutes later to be told, they were tired of cooking for the day, so were closing up. Never again will I step foot in there. Rude woman.

Ordered two mains which were very bland so very disappointing. The meat was tough and the sauce in both dishes runny and thin. Chips and rice were ok which tbh should be difficult to ruin. Do they have a different chef ?? Not up to their usual high standard unfortunately and ended up throwing most of it away. Strike 1

absolutely amazing hot fresh food even when delivered amazing portions friendly staff

Ate here on a Saturday night and was very disappointed in my pasta dish it was tasteless. There was six of us and the two who had pizza said they were nice. The lady who served us was very helpful. It’s a shame as it was a nice clean restaurant.

Mixed kebab was absolutely horrendous.
