Lovely food with smaller plate sizes so you can order multiple dishes without it costing a
Fortune. BYO alcohol too which is good.
The food is simply amazing and the pizza is the best me and my boyfriend have ever had in UK!
Marinella is a lovely charming lady and the whole atmosphere is very warm and cosy!
Popped in today and had a proper cappuccino with scrumptious traditional sweet pastries. Marinella is a lovely friendly lady. Would definitely recommend!
Very nice food and great service. Really enjoyed it here.
fantastic little family run Italian. Marinella and her brother Mario bring an authentic slice of Sicily to Leeds, they’re so welcoming and the food is great. Plenty of options including vegetarian and there are all sorts of traditional Italian treats to buy and take home as well. We went last Xmas eve for our family Christmas get together and we’ll be going again this year too 😋🎄
I think this is my favourite restaurant in Leeds. The service is excellent - Marienella personally explains the provenance of ever authentic southern Italian dish and her family cook it fresh while you wait. The quality is superb and the tastes authentic. Always a pleasure to dine at Marienella's.
Amazing service and great food! Would love to eat here again.
A great find whilst staying in the area. Small, unpretentious cafe with really excellent genuine Sicilian freshly-cooked food at very reasonable prices. Relaxed and friendly: highly recommended.
Friendly and homey. Local Sicilian food.
Visited twice. Amazing food and helpful nice staff, would be definitely coming back and recommending. 👍
Alot of passion put into the food with a good selection and so many desserts to pick from. The owner talks you through the menu to wet your appetite. The restaurant is decorated to the season/event which keeps things fresh and the specials menu is varied and changes to keep things interesting.
Went for my birthday, food was lovely and all the family really enjoyed the meal. Marinella could not do enough to make sure we had a good time.
What a find!! The very best environment for casual authentic dining! Been twice in two weeks and booked again 😀. Marinella is a genuine host with fantastic dedication … coffee in generous cups … with every possible choice available! Sardines … the best!! Garlic pizza. Seafood pasta!! So many choices…. And if you haven’t ever tried strawberries in sambucca with black pepper , well you need to!! 10/10.
