Aperitivo - Leeds

Excellent food! This is not your typical and common Italian restaurant. Original dishes but still served with simplicity. Delicious! Portions are good and so is the price. We loved Dough and we highly recommend Aperitivo!

The food was great. Great menu with lots for all including vegans. The price was ok too. A few simple improvements could make it great. But please note there should be a door on a kitchen if, people hang coats on meat slicing machines. The kitchen did not look great, so being able to see it did not add to the experience. Other than these minor issues I would suggest a go.

Fantastic food, fantastic cocktails. Fantastic staff. Definitely will be back xx

Amazing food, drink, ambience and service, as well as being family friendly

We visited on Valentine 's Day and had their tasting menu, so it was different to what is usually served, and we loved it. I have some dietary restrictions (including gluten intolerance, and I don 't eat meat, only fish) which they coped very well with, and adapted the standard tasting menu to my needs without sacrificing much. In fact one of the courses they had to create especially for me was my favourite (a scallop and celeriac dish). The only course where I felt at all deprived was the dessert, but only because my husband was almost ecstatic over his! We chose to have the drinks pairing option, which went very well with the food and included a few particularly tasty drinks; they also offered us an alternative drink for one of the courses which had been adapted which I felt showed they took their drinks pairings seriously! I haven 't yet visited on another occasion to sample their standard menu, but am keen to do after our very pleasant experience with the tasting menu. The only minor complaint is that the lighting is a little harsh and flickery when seated at a table directly under a light. My husband and I are both a bit sensitive to flickering lights so we asked if it was possible to turn the lights down, but were told that this actually made the lights flicker more! Thankfully they offered us another table away from the lights and it wasn 't a problem, so if you are also sensitive to lights it may be worth requesting a table without a light over it when booking.
