Stuzzi is a fantastic value for money small plates Italian right in the middle of Leeds. You can tell that a lot of effort has been put into the menu and quality ingredients are used. The larger pasta dishes are the stars of the show, perfectly cooked pasta that you just want more of. The cocktails are also great, some fantastic combinations you wouldn't think of! The price is also really reasonable for a small plates concept. Would definitely recommend.
Hard to fault Stuzzi ever, eaten at both sites on numerous occasions and always find it a great experience. Informal dining in a lovely setting, service is always excellent and the ever changing menu always delights. My last visit was on NYE, I think we ordered 6 plates with 4 drinks, costing around 80 quid. Genuine Italian food, don't be afraid to try anything.
Just spent a lovely evening at this restaurant. Very busy so I would suggest that you book in advance. Arrived at 6.30 to be warmly greeted and shown to our table, menu's were handed out and the restaurant concept explained which in a nutshell is fresh Italian seasonal sharing platters. We ordered olives, marinated anchovies and a mixed platter board to start with all very nice.We then followed it with a couple of pasta dishes,an aransino, and a brazed pork hock.this was then finished of with a dessert sharing platter and ice-cream. The menu's are changed often which is nice to see and the service is casual but very attentive. Will definitely be back again.
I don’t often leave reviews, but Stuzzi Leeds is so consistently brilliant that I had to make an exception. I’ve been visiting since 2019, and every single time has been flawless, the food, the wine, the service, and the atmosphere are all spot on. It’s an absolute credit to the whole team. The care and thought that goes into every dish is clear, and you made my birthday feel truly special. Please never change.
Fantastic small plates restaurant I had a slow braised pork collar and white bean dish that was melt in the mouth tender. Along with a black olive arancino that was crispy on the outside and smooth and salty inside alongside a small but reasonable wine menu. A lovely alternative Italian to heavy pasta establishments.
Pulled up for a table of 2 on a Thursday night. We had a mix of antipasti of small plates, all of which were absolutely class. unreal mix of flavour and taste in each dish but presented in a really fun way with some really well thought out ingredients. I think the beetroot Arancini might have been the best Arancini I’ve ever had in my life. I sat facing the restaurant from the back of the room and it is the kind of restaurant that gets nicer to look at the longer you sit there. Staff were extremely attentive, served us with a smile and had a good laugh with us. The perfect meal! Bloody gorgeous tiramisu aswell.
We went in for a light lunch. We got a lovely welcome coming through the door. All food meant to be shared, in tapas style. Best arancino I've ever had. And the chocolate cake was sublime!
