    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!

    I was introduced to the wonders of Salute by some friends one Saturday night and I've got to say…read morethat I was blown away, from the minute that you walk in the door you are made to feel like a friend. 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.

    Rustico redefines the way that Italian food should be cooked, presented, and served in this…read morecountry. 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!
