Quick info
About Da Vito Ristorante
Da Vito Ristorante is an Italian restaurant on York Pl in Leeds, run by a family and set on a side street away from the main commercial stretch. Alongside the regular menu, the kitchen keeps a long list of daily specials, giving walk-ins more to choose from than the printed page alone. Recurring dishes include tagliolini and cannelloni, risotto, and pizza, with vegan and gluten-free options available. The dining room is small rather than sprawling. There is no booking system, and tables are taken on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the welcome, with reviewers repeatedly describing friendly, welcoming staff and a family run feel, including one who says the owner pulled up a table for a late arrival on a busy night. Pasta draws the most food mentions, from seafood pasta that tasted fresh to tagliolini and cannelloni, and a risotto and a crab and avocado starter also get specific praise. Close behind is the long menu of daily specials alongside the Italian classics, with one reviewer calling the prices reasonable for the quality. Service is described as quick and friendly, and one pre-theatre diner says staff were prompt when told time was limited. The caveat is that one reviewer found the lamb shank from the specials flavourless, with bitter, salty red wine and bland meat, though the pizza was good. Another felt the cannelloni alone might not be enough without a starter. Reviewers also mention a cool, relaxing room and an icy bottle of prosecco served with fresh side salads.

“My mum and I visited for dinner before the theatre, we made them aware we had limited time and the service was really prompt and attentive. I had a crab and avocado starter and it was so fresh and delicious. My pasta main was generous and tasty. We got lovely fresh side salads too and an icy cold bottle of prosecco. A little gem of a traditional Italian restaurant well worth detouring from the commercial streets for a relaxing, and luxurious experience. Highly recommended.”

“The food is good but nothing special. Sadly, my lamb shank which was on the specials menu was quite flavourless. The red wine just was very bitter and salty and the meat itself was bland. However, I did try the pizza too which was good hence the 4 stars otherwise I’d have given it a 3.”
