5 Best Italian Restaurants in Leeds 🥇
"Gusto is a staple for fans of Italian food in Leeds, with a city centre restaurant alongside their longstanding Cookridge one. Their sleek, classy restaurants add a dash of style to an already refined menu, expect a slew of tasty pizzas, pastas, risottos and salads. They also offer mains like 28-day aged steak and the Gusto Burger, or you can plump for their tasty deli meat and cheese board, which goes particularly well with their extensive wine list."
"Gusto is a rather posh affair, perfect for celebrations, and they’ve got the kids covered too. You know the phrase ‘variety is the spice of life’?. Well it’s certainly true when it comes to Gusto’s kids menu, where young diners can enjoy any pasta dish from the main menu in a child-friendly portion."
"In the summer, the delicious smells of Gusto spread out onto Greek Street to create an alfresco dining experience that’s hard to resist. Their outdoor seating comes with big parasols and cosy heat lamps, so you can dine in the lap of outdoor luxury. The menu is filled with refined Italian classics."
"Flying Pizza was a very popular fixture on the Leeds dining scene for many years, the restaurant became part of the San Carlo family in 2010. Offering interior views of the kitchen with a stunning dining terrace with a fully retractable roof, this restaurant has to be one of the most elegant in Leeds. The terrace is open all year round and surrounded with beautifully lit olive trees so you can enjoy your meal in a serene atmosphere."
"Oriental City, in LS7, is a massive hit with those who’re out for a serious eat. Perhaps the most widely remarked aspect of eating at the long running establishment is that their portion sizes are generous. They’ve got an exceptionally big menu, too, so if your out with picky eaters, there’s almost guaranteed to be something on the menu that’ll tickle their fancy."
