Viva - Leeds

We visited Leeds just for a day with my girlfriend. After a long walk we decided to have a pizza for lunch, this is how we found the restaurant. Pizza was delicious, a real treat, same dessert and wine. But what made us feel really good there was an excellent customer service, especially from restaurant’s manager Gani you are a gentleman sir!

Excellent, non-pretentious restaurant in the centre of Leeds. Very friendly and recognise returning customers. Food excellent and good value.

We'd heard good things about Viva family owned, long established, great food and ambience. And so we went, and what we found was: family owned, long established, great food and ambience. We were warmly welcomed, had great chat with the serving staff, and loved the authentic tastes of Italy. We were even treated to a celebratory glass of limoncello at the end of the meal. For those who want pizza, there's great pizza. There are classic pasta dishes. But there's also an ever changing menu of specials. In other words, there's something for everyone, whatever their tastes, whatever their age. I was there with a group of friends and work colleagues, and even on a damp November Monday night we had a brilliant evening.

Me and my wife both agreed this was the best Italian food we have ever tasted! We were in Leeds for one night and decided to go in here from walking past and it looked busy and friendly. Nice and clean and a great atmosphere, the food really was outstanding and just tasted so fresh and made with a passion. The service was excellent and the chef was present in the restaurant to ensure everybody was happy. Thankyou for a superb dining experience and we will be back if visiting Leeds again,excellent restaurant!!

So sorry to leave a bad review as we didn’t even eat here. Arrived at 6 for our booking on a Saturday, waited at the bar for at least 15 mins. The couple who came in behind us were seated, we were not. Not really much good in my opinion, what’s the point in booking a table if we can’t be seated at that time. We went elsewhere. Sorry but maybe don’t bother if you’re in a hurry x
