Livin’ Italy Restaurant – Leeds
Livin’ Italy Restaurant – Leeds, 2025/26 Good Food Award winner – Blue Ribbon.
Nestled under the railway arches of Granary Wharf and overlooking the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, Livin’ Italy is a lively blend of Italian kitchen, bar, and deli that captures the spirit of Milan.
The menu is a celebration of regional Italian cooking, featuring everything from Tuscan and Sicilian classics to Southern Italian comfort food. Diners consistently praise the pizzas, made with 100% Italian, organic, whole-grain flours—light, crispy, and unmistakably Italian. Other favourites include the cheese-wheel Truffle Pici Cacio e Pepe and the slow-roasted Roman belly pork Porchetta, with many noting the generous portions and bold, satisfying flavours. The restaurant caters well to dietary needs, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that are clearly marked and thoughtfully prepared.
Livin’ Italy’s charm lies not only in its food but in its versatile, all-day appeal. From breakfast cappuccinos to late-night cocktails, the venue transitions effortlessly through the day. The interior is stylish and atmospheric, with exposed brick, warm lighting, and canal views that make it ideal for both casual lunches and celebratory dinners. Guests frequently highlight the friendly, upbeat service, describing staff as attentive and welcoming without being overbearing.
The drinks menu is equally impressive, featuring artisan beers, Italian wines, and creative cocktails. Aperitivo hour is a particular favourite, offering a relaxed way to unwind with friends over small plates and drinks. The venue also hosts events and private parties, making it a popular choice for birthdays and group gatherings.
With its passion for Italian living, stylish setting, and sociable vibe, Livin’ Italy is more than just a restaurant — it’s a destination. Whether you’re popping in for brunch or settling in for a long dinner, it’s a place where food, friends, and flavour come together beautifully.
