5 Best Italian Restaurants in Leeds 🥇
"San Carlo is definitely one of the most luxurious spots to eat out in Leeds – this huge, classy dining room on South Parade is perfect for special occasions. The menu is as authentic as it gets, with recipes from the man the venue is named after used still, whether it’s Filetto al Pepe Verde, Lobster Risotto or their classic pizzas – whatever you choose, it’d be rude not to couple it with one of their handpicked Italian wines. San Carlo, 6-7 South Parade, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5QX."

Their sleek, classy restaurants add a dash of style to an already refined menu, expect a slew of tasty pizzas, pastas, risottos and salads.

"In a similar vein to Almost Famous, the guys at Sweet Pizzasput a sugary spin on what is normally savoury. A Sweet Pizza is a full on, scream and shout, tooth dissolving, decedent dessert. They come with two different bases, depending on how quickly you want to develop diabetes."

"There’s something for all ages at Swithens Farm in Rothwell. They have an open farm the kids will love from Tuesday to Sunday, featuring the likes of cows, pigs, rabbits, ducks, geese and two irresistibly cute micro pigs called Molly and Millie. Alongside the animals, they also have a play barn or those up to the age of 11."
"Sweet Puffs is a delivery-only bakery that specialises in Greek-style donut puffs. Their round, bite-sized balls are delightfully crisp on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. All made fresh to order, their speciality is a traditional Greek combo, drenched with lashings of honey and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar."
"Pairings is a relaxed wine bar with impressive sharing boards, charcuterie platters and small plates to match the accessible wine flights and list. The tapas include whole basil burrata, Iberico Bellota ham and a cheeseboard. Save room for the chocolate and wine pairing for dessert."
