  “Lovely lunch once again at Pranzo! Took advantage of their lunch menu £15 for a bowl of delicious pasta and of course their garlic bread 🤤 Huge shout out to Lucy who served us, thank you!”

  “We had a lovely 2 course meal...the ambience is lovely, staff are great and it would have been 3 but the starters are quite substantial. We forgot to take a photo of them but we would highly recommend any of the pasta dishes with seafood. Magnifico”

  “I went for dinner on Saturday evening and had a fabulous time. I love the Harrogate restaurant so wanted to see how the Ilkley one compared. Lucas served us and he was brilliant! He had great energy and was really knowledgeable about the menu. We both ordered the prawn and chorizo starter, followed by the beef shin pasta and lobster ravioli. All delicious. Pranzo is easily becoming my favourite place!”

  “Popped in with my mum on a Sunday around lunch time. No reservation needed and we were seated straight away. We really appreciated how warm and welcoming the staff were and that they actually took time to tell us about the history of the place and the menu. The restaurant was very clean with a nice modern decor. The music in the background was at a good volume, making it easy to converse without feeling like the table next to us could hear every word we said (and vice versa), which added to the lovely atmosphere of the place. We ordered our drinks and we were really impressed with the cocktail/mocktail menu and how well they were able to accommodate my mum who doesn’t drink alcohol. We shared a bruschetta as a starter which was delightful. We then ordered the Mafalde with 4 hour braised beef shin ragù and the Cannelloni filled with basil pesto, goats cheese and sun dried tomatoes, but unfortunately they were out the Cannelloni, however the waiter has given us an excellent recommendation of Paccheri with home made spicy nduja and fennel sausage which we chose and definitely weren’t disappointed with (they were also very apologetic about this issue). Both of our dishes were delicious, fresh and full of flavour and the portion sizes were ideal for us. We initially weren’t going to order the focaccia as a side dish but definitely glad we did as it was perfect with our mains. It started to get a little bit busier as we were leaving but again due to the sleek decor and spacing of the tables it still didn’t feel too crowded. Overall it was a very positive dining experience, good value for money too and I would definitely come back to try the Cannelloni and perhaps some of their desserts (had absolutely no room for a sweet treat this time around).”

  “Outstanding from Start to Finish From the warm welcome by Lucas to the friendly goodbye at the door, this was a cut well above the standard restaurant experience. We visited midweek to celebrate our anniversary, choosing the restaurant based on previous glowing reviews, and it more than delivered. A lovely touch on arrival was being invited to choose our own table, and having our coats taken immediately made the evening feel special. Lucas struck the perfect balance: attentive without ever being intrusive. He talked us through the menu with confidence and genuine enthusiasm, explaining that he had tried every dish himself. That level of knowledge really shows, it meant his recommendations felt authentic rather than rehearsed. I began with the celeriac soup topped with focaccia and crispy leeks. Quite simply, it was outstanding, easily the best soup I’ve ever had. The earthy depth of the celeriac, paired with the texture of the bread and the delicate crunch of the leeks, was beautifully balanced. It’s clearly a favourite for a reason. We sent our compliments to the chef who was called Matty on that night. For the main, I chose roast pork belly with mustard mash, pan-fried sprouts and a side of garlic broccoli. Pork belly can so often be overly fatty or heavy, but this was cooked to perfection: meltingly tender meat with wonderfully crisp crackling. The broccoli delivered a bold garlic and chilli kick that elevated the whole plate. Dessert had to be tiramisu — what else in an Italian eatery? Made fresh daily by the chef, and you could absolutely taste the difference. Light yet indulgent, perfectly balanced between coffee and cream, soft without being soggy — just as it should be. All in all, a fabulous meal and a memorable anniversary. We’ll certainly be returning — perhaps next time for Sunday lunch.”

  “We were looking for a tasty dinner for our short trip to ilkley. Pranzo did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Paul we had a wonderful time. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the booth we sat at had very comfortable seating. The staff were very attentive and went over and above to ensure that my mushroom allergy was taken into account. The food was absolutely fantastic. Paul explained the different types of pasta to us and the concept of the restaurant. We had the arancino (the highlight of the starters, flavours that burst in your mouth, not gluggy at all and the flavour of the beetroot and goats cheese perfectly matched with the walnut pesto cream with the vinegar cutting through nicely) and focaccia al aglio for starters and Fritto misto and nduja è salsiccia piccante for mains. Everything was a taste sensation. Highly recommend Pranzo.”

  “Welcomed by friendly staff once we entered. We were offered a generous taster of red wines to help us decide, even though it's quite clear that only one of us was going to have wine and can only have a glass. The handmade pasta was made perfectly. The staff were so knowledgeable on the menu, not just food, drinks too, and extremely lovely. There was no pressure to order big, they were only providing all the information you need to decide. We had the Ragu and seafood pasta. Portions were good, and the garlic focaccia was so tasty we wished we have the space for more. Desserts sound good, guess we'll have to make sure to save space for it next time. Bill was less than £70, including drinks, mains and one side. Only flaw was that it can get tad loud if crowded and might be hard to hear even with booth seatings.”

  “We ordered the mussels, crab ravioli and sausage pasta. The dishes were tasty and our favourite was the crab ravioli, it was sooo good! My only feedback is that the sausage pasta is a tad salty but overall still tasty. The service was awesome and the interior design for the restaurant is great. Overall a very good meal and would recommend you to visit!”

  “Popped in for late afternoon/early evening dinner last Monday. Lovely environment and decor to dine in, with a well thought out Italian menu. We all had 3 courses and found all of them to be of excellent quality - Freshly made, intere and vibrant, and the desserts were the perfect blend of style and substance. The only slight negative being it did take some time for each course to get to us (and being late afternoon, it wasn't at its busiest), and I felt the short rib special could have done with a little more to the dish - Rib, Mash and Sauce needed maybe some substance. Overall, an excellent dining experience and we shall certainly return frequently!”
