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

Our first visit (but not our last) to this new bar and restaurant. The chef did an amazing job producing 4 different meals with skill. All meals were top quality from t bone steak to pasta. It is a small gem in Wakefield that you need to visit to appreciate. Friendly and helpful staff and a personal visit from the chef helped make this an enjoyable experience- with cocktails as well.

Sampled the new menu tonight and well impressed. Pizza was cracking as usual, but the stand out dishes were Arancini and the beef ragu pasta

It's just wow your restaurant I've been there twice with my sister, delicious food hot and well served with friendly and generous welcoming staff without forgetting the price is reasonable

Amazing food and good pizzas and the staff were so nice. Definitely will come again with more people. And now I am just saying words to get past the min charicters.

Had a lovely family meal to celebrate being accepted for a new job. We went on a Monday evening which was nice and quiet. I have been previously on a Friday and it was far to loud and busy to enjoy. The food is very reasonably priced and very tasty.

We've lived in Wakefield for 17 years and finally got round to visiting Prego for the first time. I don't know why it took so long, but safe to say we will be back soon. We only had a pizza each (which were excellent), but we will definitely be back to sample more of the menu. Great food and great service.

We hosted our wedding reception at Finos and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, everything was seamless, beautifully arranged, and filled with thoughtful touches. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was exceptional, and every member of staff made us and our guests feel so welcome. If we could give a 10-star review, we absolutely would—for the service, the food, and the whole unforgettable experience. A very special thank you to Logan, who was an absolute star throughout the entire planning process. From our first conversation to the big day, Logan was endlessly helpful, kind, and attentive—truly the loveliest person I’ve ever met. It was a joy working with them, and they played such a huge role in making everything feel so smooth and stress-free. Truly felt like a friend!! To our complete surprise, we were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco, two stunning glass flutes to keep, a huge celebratory balloon, and the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers. It was such a kind and personal gesture that truly made us feel so special. It was a pleasure to celebrate our special day at Finos and we’ll always be grateful for the memories made there.

Fantastic service and even better food! We had Linguine allo scoglio, Vitello con crema, margarita pizza and kids chicken nuggets (the potrion was huge). Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious! They even played happy birthday and brought a lovely piece of cake for my daughter (she wore a bday badge). What a fabulous place 5*

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!

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

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!!!

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.
