What a great find in Guiseley. Really top quality food service and atmosphere. It’s a really nice looking restaurant with the wood burning pizza oven and the wood interior throughout. Really nice and warm. The serving staff are all really nice, wanted to do as much for us as they could and are really helpful with our child. The food was really excellent, the pizzas have a nice base and flavour and are quick to cook in the fire. Had the veal chop which was cooked excellently, juicy and melt in the mouth with the smoothest mash. The pastas were very tasty.

Top quality food, perfectly cooked. Had a superb meal here. Spicy beef fillet ragu was gorgeous - very tasty, plentiful and with melt in the mouth beef. The overall menu choices are excellent, with a great specials board, too! The restaurant itself has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for any kind of get together. I am not always a fan of Italian restaurants - not because of the food, as Italian food is one of my favourites, but because so much of the time the service is too fast, brisk and not always that friendly, and you're left feeling rushed. This is absolutely not the case here. The service was very friendly, relaxed and not at all rushed. A wonderful evening and somewhere I would highly recommend.
