The approach of traditional cuisine, personal and friendly service, family values and atmosphere makes this one of the top five restaurants in West Yorkshire. And by far the best in Wakefield by a Tuscany mile The prices are pretty reasonable in the Evening's too. Just can't believe Rustico has not been reviewed up until now.... I have been many many times to this lovely Restaurant and the lunch time specials are not too be missed, most dishes are around a fiver. Fabulous service every time and such welcoming friendly Staff, I often dine alone at Lunch time and am never treated with disrespect, some places are not keen on lone diners I find. *****

This is a relatively new restaurant, but possibly the best in Wakefield. My Dad never used to go to…read moreItalian restaurants as he said he could do the food just as well at home, but this is now the place he takes any friends that come to Wakefield. It's small but VERY popular and always busy so book in advance. It does get quite noisy and crowded but there's an extra room upstairs, so ask to be seated there if you'd rather be somewhere quieter. Food is fantastic and reasonably priced with big portions, and the service is great - they even throw in loads of little extras, like an appetizer plate of bread and olives, garlic bread and lemoncello!

Me and some friends came here for a birthday/leaving do. The restaurant feels really large inside…read moreand has a really new feel to it. It was a Friday night and we hadn't booked but we got seated straight away (the snow might have had something to do with it!) To start with we ordered 2 garlic pizza breads to share which arrived quickly and were really tasty for the price! They didnt have a lot of pizzas to choose from which surprised me, but sometimes it is a bit overwhelming when a place has 20 to choose from! For my main I ordered tagliatelle Genovese, which was in a pesto and basil sauce. It was really nice, the only thing was the tagliatelle was quite thick and very filling. As it was my friends birthday she got a free shot of flaming sambuca and the restaurant sang 'Happy Birthday' to her and she was mortified but we all found it quite funny! I would be happy to go here again.

Reet, now I know I have written a review for here before, but after a visit tonight with the wife…read moreagain, I felt like I had to come back on here and give it another review. I wasn't sure how I could beat my last trip there, or the 5000 trips before it, but tonight has been a blast... Let me paint you a picture (with my words of course).. As its my other half's birthday tomorrow, a few days ago I got a special offer through the post for a huge 25% off our bill, and a free bottle of house wine, clearly to encourage me to spend the her birthday there and reward me for my previous custom - but as its one of our favorite restaurants - lets just say we don't need much convincing! So we pulled up at about 5pm on a gorgeous Friday evening (tonight!) only to see the car park packed and wondered would we get seated - we goes in, and bless the girls that seated us, actually thought about where we were going to be sitting, and popped us on a table away from the other families in there with children (not that I have anything against kids at all!), but she recognized we were a couple having a meal together - so thoughtful and showed she thought about it! We sat on a table that wasn't on top of other ones and got down to ordering our food - oh and getting our complimentary bottle of wine - deeeelish!! Hmmmm, droool, the food... Chicken livers for the wife and duck spring rolls for me to start - crispy rolls, filled with duck and on an amazing sweet chilli sauce, she had livers that were meaty, cooked to perfection and almost melt in the mouth - in fact I am drooling AGAIN thinking about it now! Mains were fishcake for me, and slow roasted lamb with some ribboned pasta that has a name but I cant remember or spell it - anyway it was GAWGUS - meaty lamb, no fat, pasta cooked to perfection - oh my word I could go on but wont... Cos I will end up soaking the laptop... Service wise, very attentive, talking to us whilst taking our order but certainly not intrusive at all, knew there was a birthday when I had handed over the voucher for the free wine - I'll do anything for a free wine! - and took a real interest, asking whose birthday it was and wishing her a good un! I though this in itself was lovely but imagine my surprise when at the end of the meal the staff brought out an ice cream with a giant sparkler in it and sang Happy Birthday for her - aw it was a lovely touch and to be honest really made our night... I love this place and although people find it slightly more expensive, I don't, and I'm certainly not one to spend money without thinking about it. Its a complete you get more than what you pay for place, and for an evening meal like this I would have paid double - definitely a place to go!

The layout is spacious and relaxing, the food........what can I say but the best god damned food that I have had for a long time. The head chef has definitely got this right, great menu well balanced and put together, we have visited a number of times now and are hoping to get in for Xmas lunch. All I can say is next time you are in Rothwell look out for Salute and pay them a visit I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Looking back to the 80's, Luigi's used to be a popular pub, its in a great location at a major intersection with plenty of parking. The full bar is still present but the place has had a complete overhaul. Upon entry you are greeted by one of the many friendly staff that work there, we had reservations and were shown to our table right away, even though we were a good 30 minutes early. We got drinks whilst we waited for some of our party that were late arriving, the wait staff were completely unfazed by this and had no problem waiting, which was nice. We ordered a multitude of things and let me say there were no complaints from any of our party. I had the garlic pizza bread as an app (you'll have to share with the whole table as its very filling!) which was fantastic, they have a wonderful pizza selection and each one that we ordered was absolutely perfect, great crust baked just right and the sauce bold and robust, the calzones come with a side of dipping sauce was a beautiful mild tomato sauce that had a hint of cream, i recommend asking for a side of this for your garlic cheese pizza bread, yummy. The chicken, seafood and pasta dishes were unbelievable, cooked to order and severed piping hot, and cooked to a standard you'd expect in a city center bistro, high standards here for sure. The amount of specials available, in addition to the substantial menu made choosing what to have a real chore, but that's not a bad problem to have i think, especially when you consider everything we ordered was so damn good. Attentive and friendly staff, incredible food along with very reasonable pricing will make sure this place will be buzzing at the weekends, i'm going to go out on a limb here and say you will certainly need a reservation over the weekend to ensure you get a table. We were there on a normal mid week night and the place 90% full, a wonderful testament to a truly great spot, so if your looking for a hearty, authentic Italian dish, go here!

I'm glad I came, and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful antipasti starter, and the main was tender scallops and seabass, with perfectly cooked courgettes, carrots and new potatoes. The waiter was ideal. Not too much intrusion, and went out of the way to make the meal special. He even scrabbled about in a cutlery drawer for the posh fish knife for me even though I hadn't asked for one. Wifi is free and worked a dream (from next door) Really really good :-)
