Bingley, Italian Restaurant Guide

A “fantastic setting beside the River Wharfe” provides the perfect backdrop for “good Italian food and friendly service” from Alessandro & Sofia Elena Tocca, who have established a strong local following over more than 20 years. Their Italian take on the classic Sunday roast is a highlight of the menu.

This “reliable Leeds stalwart” has served up “good Italian cooking” for 46 years under two generations of the Dammone family. Founder Salvatore’s sons John & Gip retired in summer 2023, but the new owners have promised to carry on their traditions, with the same staff in place.

This “authentic local Italian with a difference” benefits from an “excellent variety of imaginative small plates” and “enthusiastic service led by the family owners”. One of “the most enjoyable dining experiences in Leeds”, it’s “worth the trip out of town” to Meanwood.
