Trying to find an italian restaurant to host a group of 15-20 isn't generally a problem but when…read moreyou're looking for a reasonably-priced restaurant where you can host a fairly intimate party the restaurants in town can feel a little too big or too casual. Carmelo's was recommended by a friend of a friend and it was perfect for our little soiree! It is quite a small family-run restaurant which gives it a lovely intimate feel whilst also being quite bright and airy inside. The food was lovely; you could see why all of their other tables were also full all night! I'm tempted to go back again and just order home-made strawberry tart for every course! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Near LS28? Give it a shot.

Really nice and intimate where food is from authentic Italian recipes. Very good value for money…read more Definitely recommended.

Fantastic meal , along side fab service! :)read more

We spent last Summer in Leeds and discovered Trattoria Il Forno from…read morethe waiter at another Italian place. All I can say is that the pizza here is amazing! My friends and I were here regularly and the food has always been top notch. So far the Spaghetti Carbonara is the best I've ever had in my life. The fig and goat cheese salad (Insalata di Rucola Fichi Caprino e Pinoli) is a must try. Rocco and his team give great customer service!

This used to be the most amazing pizza, since the new guy has taken over management it's an…read moreabsolute joke. Firstly you can never get hold of them when you try call to book for a table or to order for collection. We went there last Friday evening and the manager told us that they just don't answer the phone if they too busy. Which I think it ridiculous and such bad management. Secondly we walked in to make a booking as we tried 3 weeks in a row to call and book and no one answered. We got there and were told to wait an hour before we could get a table. We waited. Eventually we got a table it took another hour to get our food. We watched a family of 7 people arrive for a birthday dinner which they had made a reservation for, the manager turned them away and said that they too busy. Service is a massive role in the restaurant industry and the service lead by the new manager is appalling.​

A well presented family restaurant with most of the tables filled mid week, always a good sign…read more Pizza, pasta, steaks & seafood were all on the menu and a specials board with 23 additional options. I came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed. Portion sizes were generous, the mussels could have been a main course. The fish grill was excellent with just a drizzle of herb butter. Well worth the short drive out of Bradford. 4 stars for the generous portions so well done. X = You've gotta be kidding me XX = trying but not reaching the standard expected or advertised XXX = achieving the standards expected/advertised however high that might be XXXX = they're doing something special here, above expected standards of service XXXXX = WOW! you gotta go here!

A lovely Italian restaurant, would recommend it to anyone. There's plenty on the menu to choose…read morefrom and if that's not enough there's the starters. I'm always torn between the Seafood Marinara, the Lasagne or the Fish Mixed Grill. I generally always go for the mussels for a starter and Tiramasu for pud. It's probably best to book as this place is usually busy most nights and definitely at weekends. One other thing, if you like saving money do NOT look at this site:- http://www.dailysavings4u.co.uk

The place was busy, it was mid week but felt like a weekend!! No music just everyone chatting and…read moreit was a nice atmosphere. We arrived bit late and 2 of my friends were already there and had drinks. We waited awhile for the waitress to come and get our drinks too. It felt like we were waiting ages for them to take our food order. One person ordered a starter then it took, what felt like an hour after that, for our mains to come and we were all starving by then! I changed my mind and decided to have a salad with my fish but it took 3 attempts to get the waiter's attention but he was friendly and said it wasn't a problem. The mains were delicious, we all enjoyed it. Halfway through some jolly music started playing with a waiter coming out with a sparkly cow boy hat and another with a dessert with a sparkle. Turns out it was birthday song but not one any of us had heard of but was good. Desserts menu was disappointing though. Just the usual chocolate fudge cake, cheesecake, ice cream etc so I didn't bother.

Rima is kind of like Luigi's (almost next door on New Road Side) little brother, and it specialises…read morein Italian eats in a less formal, more quirky way. Offering a menu based around the three things Italian cuisine does best - pizza, pasta and coffee, Rima is open all day and night meaning it can be a good place to go for just a coffee, a snack, a quick lunch or a full blown evening meal. It's more of a bar than a restaurant in terms of the formality, so if you are wanting an evening meal, it's probably not the best place to go. Cheap and cheerful, Rima has many positive aspects, but the most pleasing of these is not the lovely outdoor decking area, nor the amply sized pizzas, or the authentic coffee, but the fact that you can get take-away spag bol.

A surprising novelty in Leeds, Rima is an Italian cafe and takeaway that's actually run by…read moreItalians. While I'm not doubting the ability of other nationalities to make perfectly agreeable pizza and pasta dishes, there's something in the crispiness of a pizza or the basily tang of a pasta sauce that seems so much better when it's authentically made. Rima's doesn't offer the smartest or the nicest surroundings for an eat in meal, but the friendly and rather theatrical staff make good mealtime entertainment, and the takeaway menu is up there with some of the best.
