LIVIN'italy in Leeds

I had lunch here. We ordered the Mixed Calamari & Prawn, and Rocket Salad for starters.Then the Seabass & Crab Ravioli, and Beef Wagu Ribs Pasta..I actually enjoyed the rocket salad, the seasoning sauce was quite tasty.The Ravioli and the Pasta was little hard, (my thoughts just need another 30 secs) other than that it was nice.Something different for lunch for us. Would come back.P.s. I love the NEWSPAPER MENU! Nice thought. Bravo to the designer 👏🏼👍🏼

The restaurant itself is very crowded so you will be sat very close to random strangers sitting at other tables. As a result, you can't have a normal conversation without shouting - very very loud, more suitable as a fast food place in that respect.The food was disappointing and very expensive. The pizza was bland and nothing like traditional Italian pizza, and we paid almost £7 for a bowl of bland tasting olives - I've bought better olives from Lidl. The same applies to their house wine - very poor quality and you can buy better at the corner shop. That wouldn't normally be a deal-breaker if I didn't wake up at 4AM feeling sick and had to immediately go and throw up everything I ate at this restaurant.The cherry on top was that while I was placing my order, the waitress asked me if I was Russian. I was a bit confused and said no, to which she said "it's just that you sound really Russian". She then proceeded to give very poor service in a very flippant way. So, xenophobia is another element you should expect when dining at this restaurant.Finally, when the bill came, we noticed it was already printed with a 10% service fee included, which, had I seen it in time, I would have never agreed to pay. They don't even bother to ask you though, so there's that.

Delicious starters, we had the seafood mix and a giant doughball.I had a spicy pasta dish and it had a proper kick without ruining the flavour.Staff were lovely.Might be worth not having several people stood at the bar whilst you have people sat at the raised counter eating. It started to wind me up so we didn't stay for dessert.

Great food and lovely staff. Their cocktails are lovely and balanced.

Went for a friends birthday so the evening was pleasant and my friends enjoyed it which was good but I was so disappointed with my food. I ordered the chicken escalopes which was meant to come with potato gratin. My dish came and it was a schnitzel style very thin piece of chicken on a baked potato with Parmesan on ?? Very strange. The cheese garlic bread was honestly tasteless and the soda water in my white wine spritzer was flat so I just had a big glass of watered down wine. Everyone raves about this place but I’m thinking the people who do have either never actually been to Italy and eaten real Italian food, or have very limited taste for what actual good food is? The 2 stars are for

The Olives and truffle chips were nice.There was a 30min wait between our starter and main and we had only ordered Olives to nibble on. The food came out a little cold. The manager offered to replace the food but we decided not to as we had already waited 30min. He kindly gave us a discount by way of an apology.The food is not special but its edible.

My fave Italian, return visit after a few years and it did not disappoint! Incredible food and fantastic service

This Italian restaurant is good. We had a mixer of small plates, which I can recommend as are all good. We had Porchetta crostini, arancini, chicken liver pate, mini calzone and polpette. Started with a Negroni and followed with a primitivo red Wine.

Intimate Italian restaurant in the heart of Leeds city centre. Had an afternoon tea, Italian-style, here with my other half. The mains and desserts were all great. The beef sliders and tiramisu were especially good. Combine all that with a couple of well-made Aperol Spritz and you have somewhere I can heartily recommend.

An excellent meal, with service to match. Starters beef carpaccio and chicken liver pate were both marvellous followed by lobster & king prawn spaghetti and ravioli in a beef Ragu, which were both delicious...will definitely be eating here again, what a fantastic evening.
