The menus is lovely and simple and really affordable for this type of cuisine. I have found that many Italians will charge a fortune for what is essentially tomatoes and pasta. Comfort, excellent service and Moorish food that will fill you to the brim with garlic and cream and what's more you can have a non-wheat version of pasta too. I know where I'm taking my half Italian, wheat-intolerant (yes this is utterly harrowing for her) friend to for said persons birthday.

Brio is an quthentic Italian restaurant and what I really like about The Light's Brio is the fact…read morethat you can sit outside of the restaurant to eat in a sort of mock terrace area complete with Palm trees. This is one of my favourite places to visit with friends due to the light atmosphere and wide choice of dishes available. For anybody who may be a little shy to try a forgeign cuisine, English options are available. I ordered the Sirloin Steak which was, as always, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of caramelised onions. Prices are reasonable for a restaurant, around £18 for a steak dish. Quality is always present at Brio and staff have always had a 'can do' attitude.

Brio Pizza, probably the restaurant in Leeds that I have frequented more than any other! And why,…read morebecause its so bluddy reliably tasty and watching the staff turn tables with ease makes you feel like you have walked into the light and been transported to Italy. Leeds is tough competition when it comes to Italian food and over my time in leeds I've been around most of them and decided Brio is the one for me. Its in the name and pizza really is a specialty you wont find better thin an crispy as they should be with a full range of toppings to choose from, and classic combinations at that. The Gargantua comes highly recomended a meaty feat! Pasta always perfectly cooked and delicious fancy something fishy go for the linguine alle vongole, (long flat pasta with clams garlic chilli and the like) a real classic dish. There is always a range of seasonal specials be it lobster season or something else, check them out while you wait to be seated. Brio is a great place for a speedy lunch or a hassle free dinner when you need to get your drink on. Some of the best coffee in Leeds, so dont miss out on that espresso to help you get over the post feast slump! Salute! or Gezuar!

My friends and I were here regularly and the food has always been top notch. So far the Spaghetti Carbonara is the best I've ever had in my life.

This used to be the most amazing pizza, since the new guy has taken over management it's an…read moreabsolute joke. Firstly you can never get hold of them when you try call to book for a table or to order for collection. We went there last Friday evening and the manager told us that they just don't answer the phone if they too busy. Which I think it ridiculous and such bad management. Secondly we walked in to make a booking as we tried 3 weeks in a row to call and book and no one answered. We got there and were told to wait an hour before we could get a table. We waited. Eventually we got a table it took another hour to get our food. We watched a family of 7 people arrive for a birthday dinner which they had made a reservation for, the manager turned them away and said that they too busy. Service is a massive role in the restaurant industry and the service lead by the new manager is appalling.​

Reet, now I know I have written a review for here before, but after a visit tonight with the wife…read moreagain, I felt like I had to come back on here and give it another review. I wasn't sure how I could beat my last trip there, or the 5000 trips before it, but tonight has been a blast... Let me paint you a picture (with my words of course).. As its my other half's birthday tomorrow, a few days ago I got a special offer through the post for a huge 25% off our bill, and a free bottle of house wine, clearly to encourage me to spend the her birthday there and reward me for my previous custom - but as its one of our favorite restaurants - lets just say we don't need much convincing! So we pulled up at about 5pm on a gorgeous Friday evening (tonight!) only to see the car park packed and wondered would we get seated - we goes in, and bless the girls that seated us, actually thought about where we were going to be sitting, and popped us on a table away from the other families in there with children (not that I have anything against kids at all!), but she recognized we were a couple having a meal together - so thoughtful and showed she thought about it! We sat on a table that wasn't on top of other ones and got down to ordering our food - oh and getting our complimentary bottle of wine - deeeelish!! Hmmmm, droool, the food... Chicken livers for the wife and duck spring rolls for me to start - crispy rolls, filled with duck and on an amazing sweet chilli sauce, she had livers that were meaty, cooked to perfection and almost melt in the mouth - in fact I am drooling AGAIN thinking about it now! Mains were fishcake for me, and slow roasted lamb with some ribboned pasta that has a name but I cant remember or spell it - anyway it was GAWGUS - meaty lamb, no fat, pasta cooked to perfection - oh my word I could go on but wont... Cos I will end up soaking the laptop... Service wise, very attentive, talking to us whilst taking our order but certainly not intrusive at all, knew there was a birthday when I had handed over the voucher for the free wine - I'll do anything for a free wine! - and took a real interest, asking whose birthday it was and wishing her a good un! I though this in itself was lovely but imagine my surprise when at the end of the meal the staff brought out an ice cream with a giant sparkler in it and sang Happy Birthday for her - aw it was a lovely touch and to be honest really made our night... I love this place and although people find it slightly more expensive, I don't, and I'm certainly not one to spend money without thinking about it. Its a complete you get more than what you pay for place, and for an evening meal like this I would have paid double - definitely a place to go!

The layout is spacious and relaxing, the food........what can I say but the best god damned food that I have had for a long time. The head chef has definitely got this right, great menu well balanced and put together, we have visited a number of times now and are hoping to get in for Xmas lunch. All I can say is next time you are in Rothwell look out for Salute and pay them a visit I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

I don't think I've ever experienced a place so devoid of atmosphere. Admittedly it was lunchtime…read moreand the place was almost empty. It may be that, situated as it is, on a business park, it is just a slightly glorified take out on a lunchtime and who knows, it might be throbbing with Italian authenticity on an evening. The problem is that, for me, it's all about basics and the basics here (coffee, salads, service and hygiene) were all a bit lacking. The food was run of the mill, the coffee was further from Italy than Leeds and the staff seemed more interested in their soap opera lives than in gracing customers with a smile. Worst of all, there is no excuse for dirty tables when there are so few customers and 4 staff 'working'

I went with a big group of people so I think they got reservations first. The place seemed to be pretty crowded and also had large groups around.

The food was very good also.

When it's full it can be quite noisy but the atmosphere is always friendly and vibrant on such occasions.

When we arrived we were absolutely starving so - I asked for immediate bread and olives didn't take 2min to get them - and they were fresh olives with a real green colour not those darkened ones form the glass - bread was fresh and real italian style. All the waiters were extremely attentive and the head waiter was available for further requests at all times. Food was served speedy and of very high quality - portion size was just right. Pizza is real italian style with thin bubbly crust. Lots of choice. Desserts were awesome - had to have 2 - second one came within minutes of requesting it. Atmosphere was great not too noisy with some nice background music - conversations were easily held. This is my new restaurant to go to - although it is 40min drive to get to.

It has a friendly atmosphere but inside it's a little cramped and uncomfortable. I know it's a restaurant trick to have uncomfortable chairs so that you eat quickly and they can turn the tables but these are so uncomfortable it slightly spoils my visit. The food isn't bad and you get really big portions so if you are feeling particularly ravenous I would go and sample a bowl of pasta. I was slightly daunted by the size of the meals so it is handy that they do half portions, I don't like to waste food after all. My partner's eyes lit up when he saw the bowl of pasta coming towards him but he managed to get it all down and even managed a coffee afterwards. The food isn't bad and for the price its exceptional value, my only grip was the chairs and the tables being to close together although I appreciate in this climate that places need to do what they need to do to survive. I am just glad that the quality of chairs is below standard and not the service or the food.

They serve reasonably priced drinks and have a decent range of beers and a thoughtful cocktail menu. They have a picture of a weird prince in the back room that looks a bit like George Osborne. I would definitely revisit but not because of that!
