Reviews in Leeds City Centre

We visited ciao bella one thursday evening and found it to be a little hidden gem. The food was fantastic, the staff and service were second to none.The beautiful building and interior made it even more of a pleasure. The music was tasteful and not too loud but intensified the wonderful atmosphere. We are now fans for life !!!!!!!! Gail, Claire and Sandra.

i came here on a busy (late) Saturday evening. the restaurant had quite a buzz about it. the atmosphere was nice, the food was brilliant, only to be out done by the service i received there. all the staff were extremely helpful, and found it very easy to recommend a dish, which was surprisingly good. the cost of each dish was really reasonable, which is more than i can say for the last owner. i cant wait to come back and sample some more of their extensive menu. an overall amazing evening out

If you like cocktails this is the place to go! My friends and i came for a birthday meal and as it was a special occasion we decided to treat ourselves to cocktails. The waiter called Ricky is definitely a cocktail wizard. We all had different ones and they were all amazing.Tom Cruise eat your heart out Ricky is a cocktail genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a hectic afternoon shopping my daughter and I stumbled on this restaurant by chance. As it was a sunny day we sat down outside intending only to have a quick drink, however whilst sipping a very nice glass of rose wine and glancing at the extensive menu we couldn't hep but be tempted to stay and eat. The helpful waitress took our order very efficiently and the food arrived very well presented and was quite delicious. We shared the Pizza base with tomato and garlic which had a light crisp base and very garlicky which we both enjoyed. This was followed by lasagna for myself and my daughter had the Remo special pizza which the waitress kindly informed us was named after the owner of the restaurant. Both dishes were tasty and of generous size. Finally we couldn't resist finishing off by sharing my favourite dessert of Tiramisu, which again was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming here again as I was informed that they also do a wide range of cocktails and they are going to be adding new dishes to the already extensive choice on the menu. All in all a lovely food in a lovely setting served by friendly staff.

Azucars food and drink are simply second to none. Combine that with an amazing music selection, friendly down to earth staff and you have a great dining and bar experience any night of the week

This was our second visit to this restaurant, the first time we were rushed and said we would not go again. However we went to the Play House and thought we would try it again. This time we were pretty much ignored even though the restaurant was not busy. The food was good and not too expensive, but a bottle of Cobra was £4.35, I should have looked at the menu before I ordered it. In a nut shell they were not bothered about us, so we will go else where next time.

Just enjoyed a great meal at Ciao Bella on Brewery Wharf. This restaurant is a little hidden gem on Dock street. I am very lucky as I live opposite it! The food was really first class - I had Bruchetta to start and fantastic meatballs for my main course. Great selection of wines both by the glass and by bottle. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for quality Italian food in an amazing character building.

i went to ciao bella on week night and found the restaurant to be quite buzzing. it had a few tables in. the starters and main course was fantastic, and the dessert even better. all the staff there are extremely friendly, and helpful, they even made a dish that wasn't on the menu for one of our table, i will definitely be going back.

This is a lovely restaurant serving fantastic food. The last time we had a pizza as nice as this we were in Rome!! The restaurant was very quiet but I'm sure as soon as word gets out about the fab food it wont be long before you cant get booked in. The service was excellent and the interior very tastefully decorated. Definitely worth a try.

Fantastic meal great atmosphere great vibe this restaurant has a real buzz about it 6 of us went out and had a lovely meal remember the happy hour from 7 till 9 for the cocktails 2 for 1 they are divine . Lots of choice from menus and good value and quality food and staff very attentive

Ciao Bella has opened in place of Nick's Brasserie, which (very) sadly closed a few months ago. We live close by and have been for an evening meal a couple of times since its opening about 5 weeks ago. The food has been excellent on both occasions and as has been said elsewhere, the wine and service are also very good. Negatives? I have felt, if you get there a little early when the restaurant is still not busy, it is almost an ambush they are so keen to greet you. Also, when there are only a couple of tables filled the atmosphere can be a little muted, but as soon as there are four or five tables occupied, the place gets a much more lively feel. Neither of these negatives would put me off though and as it is still early days for them, I think these creases will iron out. The location is excellent and the building is beautiful. I will certainly be back and supporting the new owners - if they keep up the current standards they will (and will deserve to) do well!

Ciao Bella has just opened recently, so we thought we would give it a try. We went Friday 4th Sept, about 6pm, so we were in time to order from the 'Early Bird' menu. We had 3 courses for £10.95 and a large glass of wine cost £4. The food was beautiful, as was the wine! The menu, although 'Early Bird' had a good selection of dishes to choose from. I can definitely recommend the white and milk chocolate mousse! The staff were really friendly and offered wonderful service. We will definitely be going again.

This Restaurant is situated in a beautiful old building and has a lovely atmosphere. We had booked a table for four and the moment we arrived we were really nicely looked after. It is a family run business and the service by Remo (Father) and Ricardo (son) was fabulous. All the food was beautifully cooked and we had a lovely evening in a relaxed atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable. It was rather quiet for a Friday night, but I am sure once word gets out about this newly opened restaurant it will be very popular. I intend to return very soon.

Me and my friends recently went to Ciao Bella for the Early Bird menu which is anytime before 7pm. We had three courses for £10.95 and then drank plenty of wine and sampled the lovely cocktails! The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, the bar area is great for drinking with friends. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall all a brilliant place to go and will definitely be there again soon.

we went here on the 15/08/09 had a wonderful meal and the best sangria ever friendly staff and a fabulous atmos would definitely go back

We brought my sister, brother-in-law and niece who live in the USA for dinner on Friday evening. We had a great time. The choices on the menu were varied and very inviting. The meal was superb. We would certainly recommend this delightful restaurant.

We are visiting my brother and sister-in-law. On the Friday they showed us round Leeds and then brought us here for dinner. The menu here is great with a very good selection of dishes and the food was simply fabulous. This has to be a very popular place to eat out. We have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

My uncle and aunt brought us here for Friday evening dinner and what a treat it turned out to be! The menu was amazing with a varied and imaginative choice of dishes. This has to be a great tourist attraction which Leeds can truly be proud of. I can highly recommend this friendly restaurant.
