  “I have come here with my friends for a real Italian dinner. As an Italian person I can definitely say this is the best restaurant I have ever tried outside my country. The staff is amazing and the food it’s excellent. I love the local because there are heater everywhere so that you don’t get cold. A 10/10, and off discussion.”

  “Love the atmosphere and the tiramisu. They have good selection of Italian wines. Food wise, I wish there would be seafood pasta or truffle grilled beef..”

  “We recently had the pleasure of visiting Livin’Italy in Leeds city centre and had such a lovely experience overall. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced Italian restaurant in a fantastic central location, this is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant itself is in a really unique setting, tucked inside a train bridge tunnel right in the heart of Leeds, which gives it so much character. There’s something really special about enjoying great food while hearing the occasional train pass overhead — it adds to the atmosphere and makes the experience feel a little different from your typical city-centre restaurant. The interior is beautiful, warm and welcoming, and there is seating available both inside and outside, making it ideal for all kinds of occasions. We started with a selection of tapas-style dishes including the Prosciutto Crudo, Pancetta Coppata and Fontina cheese, all served with homemade focaccia bread and Livin’Italy’s Marsala and caramelised onion chutney. Everything tasted fresh, authentic and full of flavour, and the focaccia paired perfectly with the cured meats and cheese. For mains, we tried Nonna’s Meatballs, which were rich, comforting and packed with flavour, served in a baked ciabatta bowl with melted smoked scamorza cheese and tomato sauce. We also had a pizza topped with smoked ham speck, spicy salame spianata and stracciatella mozzarella, which was delicious with a great balance of flavours. The only slight downside was that drinks service felt a little slow, but it was a very busy afternoon with gorgeous weather in Leeds city centre, so it was understandable and certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily return. Great food, lovely atmosphere, unique location and good value for money — a brilliant addition to Leeds city centre dining.”

  “Wow! What a lucky night! We called to try our chances at getting on with an hour notice. Of course they were fully booked. But then, I received a call back 5 min later to say they had a cancellation and would we still like to come. “Absolutely!” That was for 6 of us last minute. What luck! Our first visit and I have no hesitation recommending it to everyone. The service was exceptional. Friendly, accommodating and cheerful! The atmosphere just perfect. Cosy, eclectic but bright and lively as well. The food was exquisite. Every one of us agreed that everything was tasty! The cocktails were great. We’ll definitely return!”

  “Easily the best restaurant in Leeds. It's always busy and very easily understandable as to why. Everything about Livin' Italy is spot on - delicious food and drinks with brilliant service and a delightful venue with great vibes and enjoyable decorations. Couldn't fault it even if I wanted to. It's a must-visit!”
