Brio is an quthentic Italian restaurant and what I really like about The Light's Brio is the fact…read morethat you can sit outside of the restaurant to eat in a sort of mock terrace area complete with Palm trees. This is one of my favourite places to visit with friends due to the light atmosphere and wide choice of dishes available. For anybody who may be a little shy to try a forgeign cuisine, English options are available. I ordered the Sirloin Steak which was, as always, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of caramelised onions. Prices are reasonable for a restaurant, around £18 for a steak dish. Quality is always present at Brio and staff have always had a 'can do' attitude.

Brio Pizza, probably the restaurant in Leeds that I have frequented more than any other! And why,…read morebecause its so bluddy reliably tasty and watching the staff turn tables with ease makes you feel like you have walked into the light and been transported to Italy. Leeds is tough competition when it comes to Italian food and over my time in leeds I've been around most of them and decided Brio is the one for me. Its in the name and pizza really is a specialty you wont find better thin an crispy as they should be with a full range of toppings to choose from, and classic combinations at that. The Gargantua comes highly recomended a meaty feat! Pasta always perfectly cooked and delicious fancy something fishy go for the linguine alle vongole, (long flat pasta with clams garlic chilli and the like) a real classic dish. There is always a range of seasonal specials be it lobster season or something else, check them out while you wait to be seated. Brio is a great place for a speedy lunch or a hassle free dinner when you need to get your drink on. Some of the best coffee in Leeds, so dont miss out on that espresso to help you get over the post feast slump! Salute! or Gezuar!

Delivery no matter when you call is roughly half hour. The owners recognise customer loyalty, they often send us a little something extra once every few months. Last Christmas we even got a bottle of wine off them too(and no we don't order every that often lol) The only draw back with Rustica is the prices, although they are not as expensive as Pizza hut ect they are more expensive then their local competitors. The extra is well worth it though when you compare the food.

It may be that, situated as it is, on a business park, it is just a slightly glorified take out on a lunchtime and who knows, it might be throbbing with Italian authenticity on an evening. The problem is that, for me, it's all about basics and the basics here (coffee, salads, service and hygiene) were all a bit lacking. The food was run of the mill, the coffee was further from Italy than Leeds and the staff seemed more interested in their soap opera lives than in gracing customers with a smile. Worst of all, there is no excuse for dirty tables when there are so few customers and 4 staff 'working'

I went with a big group of people so I think they got reservations first. The place seemed to be pretty crowded and also had large groups around. It was around dinner time so I guess that is when they get the busiest. Like I said we had a big group and they did pretty well at making sure we all had plenty of water at our tables. The food was very good also.

It was busy, but still felt intimate, and we had a great night. Only had two pieces of constructive criticism: the meats in the antipasti weren't cut thinly enough, and the waiter who put pepper on my pizza wasn't paying attention to the fact that I was in conversation with one of his colleagues and kept applying it until my wife noticed and asked if I'd got enough haha!!

The Service consisted of lots of in your face local Waiters, no Italian's in sight any more. They were so trying to get us to have more than one drink, despite our protests.....

This unassuming little restaurant didn't exactly look enticing, but having not had a bite and being…read morestarving, we bobbed in for an impromptu tea together - it was quiet, so we'd be served swiftly, and it was somewhere I'd not tried before. A waiter met us at the door, and immediately layered on the charm, which really isn't my thing. Especially when he's old enough to be my Granddad. Nonetheless, we took a seat straight away, and perused the menu. To start, the place could well do with a refurb - it's not exactly grotty, but it's not inspiring, and has the feel of an old diner. With various Italian dishes on the menu, and pasta not really floating my boat, I opted for the mushroom pizza - being famished, there's nothing that a good bready hearty bit of carbs couldn't sort out, right? Two diet cokes ordered, and fairly quickly, the food was brought out. I spotted the waiter being a little over friendly with my companion (poor her), and hoped he might leave off so that we could at least get to eating our fare. Oh dear. Oh dear. I'm sorry, but that wasn't pizza. That was a tasteless slab of slop. Except that the odd mushroom tasted tangy and weeks old. I'm not one to complain, I find it hard to waste food - especially when there's an overfamiliar waiter lingering - but I actually had to deposit a mouthful of one bite into my napkin. I barely ate half the pizza, and was not inclined to plough on - the cheese, sparse, was entirely tasteless and sloppy, and the mushrooms had really seen better days. I couldn't believe I was about to be so British as to pay about a tenner for the whole experience. The waiter questioned my half touched plate, and I could not muster the energy to tell him that it was terrible. Hoping my almost full plate would say so, and the polite decline to take the left overs home with me, here's hoping they'll freshen their act. Creepy waiter, plus terrible pizza, plus lack lustre dining space, plus long and winding walk to the toilets, past the back door bins - it'll take a lot of convincing for me to come back.

We had been adventuring all day and we ended up arriving in time to get a food order in with the kitchen before they switched over to drinks only. We ordered the Italian Mojito, Antipasti with Prosciutto Cotto and Scamorza Affumicate, the Nonna's Meatballs, Porchetta Crostone, and Sicilian Paccheri. The mojito was delicious and had a limoncello foam on it. Very refreshing. The antipasti was truly the highlight of the meal. The meat and cheese was delicious and the bread and onion chutney was perfect with them. If we visit again we would definitely would do more of the antipasti. The Nonna's meatballs were served in a bread bowl. These were ok, but didn't blow us away. However, the bread bowl was perfect for getting extra sauce from the other dishes. The Porchetta Crostone was a highlight of the meal. Very flavorful, the bread was crispy and it was a good mix of sweet and salty. This would be something we'd order again as well. The Sicilian Paccheri was a pistachio pesto pasta and was cooked al dente and was a very tasty pasta: they were generous with the sauce too so we dipped the bread from the Nonna's meatballs in the sauce as well. It wasn't too busy while we were there and we were amongst the last customers there for the evening. The staff was friendly and they were able to bring out our food pretty quickly. The restaurant would be good for date nights, meet ups and small or large groups. While we were there a group of about ten was wrapping up and seemed to have an amazing time as well.

I had picked this one because I had not heard of pistachio as the base for pasta sauce before. The combination turned out splendid and the pasta itself was cooked the perfect amount of time. I liked that the dish was topped with whole shrimp and the meat was not tough. The wording on the plate was funny too. ----- Crab & Seabass Ink Ravioli: fresh squid ink ravioli filled with seabass & crab meat, in a slow cooked tasty Mediterranean octopus ragu (£18.95). ----- Make sure to book a table. We had a change of plans and suddenly stopped by Friday evening at 6 PM. The place was absolutely packed with both indoor and outdoor seats filled.
