Went here last night for my Dad's birthday, we all really enjoyed our food and the limoncello shot at the end was a bonus :) Had the fried mozarella wrapped in Parma ham for starter which I hadn't tried before and would fully recommend. Great that you have the option to bring your own drink, nice relaxed atmosphere and tasty food at a reasonable price.Grazie!
One of my favorite place to eat and relax with a lovely staff and a authentic Italian dishes
Came here with friends for a birthday. Great food and atmosphere with lovely staff. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Fabulous tasty food all freshly cooked. Very friendly and attentive staff. Excellent all round!
Really nice place to celebrate and to eat tasty italian food!
First visit! It was very impressive! The service is brilliant. I had Pollo Caciatore and it was absolutely marvellous. Highly recommended if you love to try truly Italian in such friendly cozy vibe.

Bring your own wine, great quality delicious fresh food and reasonably priced. What more could you want from a restaurant?
Went in for our birthday with 15 people last night and always love to go! Great atmosphere, staff, and food!
Loved the service. It was busy and we still had good service and even with bringing out own alcohol it was served for us. Food was tasty, price was good and staff were lovely.
Great food and hospitality, will definitely visit again, thank you La Besi.
We've had two large delivery orders this week (8 pizzas and 20 pizzas) - we were really happy with the quality and will definitely order again!
By far my favourite restaurant to visit in Leeds. For us whilst students and now beyond. Thank you Bafti.
Great service and excellent food.
Recommend!!!!
Friday dinner at La besi restaurant near the University of Leeds main campus.
1) Ambiance (0.75/1) - A small and cozy restaurant that can probably house upto 40 people at a time. But they are laid out very neatly and the entire feel is home-like and that of comfort!
2) Food (0.75/1) - We were 2 of us and we had their Pizza garlic bread 🍕 for starters which was different from what I am used to but their tomato and garlic base sauce was packed with flavors! Next we had a plate of Penne Al Pollo (Penne pasta with chicken) in a white sauce with mushrooms. 🍲The portion was decent and the taste was good too. We had two desserts: Torta selva nera - or a frozen dessert with cake sponge soaked in liqour with cream which was quite easily the dish of the night for us🍰😀 and finally their Coppa pistachioa crema which was a cup of pistachio and butterscotch oce creams topped with pitachios and chocolate sauce.
3) Service (1/1) - Very friendly, timely and homely 🤗
4) Innovation and techniques (0.5/1) - If I am not mistaken, this is a family run restaurant for Italian food and inspite of being small in size, they were quite busy! While a few more options or meal deals would be nice, but they are delivering really good food to their customers! They also do 10% student discount😉
5) VFM (0.75/1) - 1 starter, 1 main, 2 desserts between the 2 of us and with the student's discount, the bill was nerly £25 (£12.5 pp) which is quite nice for a Friday night
Overall (3.75/5) - Want a comforting Italian meal for high value for money , visit La Besi Restaurant in Leeds 🍝
A nice place to have meal at near Hyde park . I visited this restaurant this evening and the experience was really good. The environment is very clean and the staff was friendly. I order prawn linguini and that was delicious, the prawns were fresh and tender and the linguini was well cooked and flavored. The price was also quite reasonable. Would visit for another time.
Lovely italian restaurant! Tasty food and good portions! I really recommend the goats cheese starter and canaloni! A £1 charge to BYOB.
Simple, relaxed, unpretentious, good Italian food. I came here for an early, reasonably priced dinner – away from a standard chain restaurant – and it didn't disappoint. The UK needs more places like this.
Had beautifully made tagliatelle carbornara and garlic King prawn starter. Subtly made cheese and very tasty. I took my time. Excellent service.
One of the best Italian restaurants I've met in Leeds! You do not have to spend much money and can enjoy very delicious Italian food, especially when you hold your student card!
Lovely tasty freshly made food from nice ingredients. The seafood pasta is lovely. Not licensed so if you want alcohol bring your own ,you are provided with glasses. Nice friendly Italian staff. Well recommended.
Nice Italian restaurant near the university with reasonable price for students. The food was delicious and the portions were big.
Highly recommend this restaurant, the staff were really friendly and helpful with some food enquiries. Food exceeded my expectations, it was so delicious and authentic. Will definitely be visiting again.
Dine in for the first time. Very nice Italian food. Will definitely come again.
Lovely meal at La Besi. No frills restaurant that serves delicious Italian food.
We got unlucky on the night and we were sat next to 12 chatty uni students and a crying baby behind us. As we were in the main room it was quite boxy and the sound levels were just to much unfortunately I understand this does not happen often
Best pizza around. Coupled with the best service ever
Good food with excellent lunch deals like pizza and a drink for £10
Some of the best pizza I've had in the uk and at a very reasonable price.
Definitely recommend it
Very kind stuff and fast delivery 💛💛💛💛💛
They make a very Delicious pasta 🍝 and pizza 🔥🔥😍if you try it you’ll love it
Good food in reasonable price
Warm-welcoming staff
We booked La Besi for a meal of 5 after our son's graduation. It turned out to be the perfect place for us. The food was superb, everyone was pleased with their choice. Service was excellent, all five dishes for each course was served at the same time and good and hot. We had a great night, thank you La Besi!!!
Wow, just ordered direct as heard Deliveroo take a percentage and these guys deserve all the money. Incredible food, fresh, tasty and hot! Delivered tonight by the most wonderful delivery driver. We called the restaurant to praise the guy, instead of calling to complain make sure you call to praise. He and the whole team deserve 5 stars. Thank you guys for always providing amazing food and service. We will continue coming to you directly
Guess what? Couldn't imagine I will find such a good food in a small restaurant in Leeds. Fresh ingredients, smart cooked dishes, great taste. If you're ever nearby just try it!
