If you can, please give it a try. Authentic Italian food. Everything made fresh and so very tasty. Definitely recommend looking at the specials board. Great filling portions. We ended up taking some home-made desserts to go, as we were too full after the starters and mains. Very friendly service.

An absolute treat to eat here. Marinella was a delight to talk to and told us about the food we ordered and which region in came from. Everything was freshly prepared and fabulous.

Nice Italian cafe, food very good and excellent value. If you like good pasta, then this is a real bargain, in pleasant surroundings. Friendly helpful staff.

Very nice food and great service. Really enjoyed it here.
This place is like going away on holiday ❤️ such delicious and authentic food and the staff are amazing. Everything is made to order so it is a lovely relaxed vibe - no rushing customers in and out. Really worth a visit if you haven’t been.

Only discovered this little gem of a restaurant a week ago and our first visit there didn't disappoint in any way. There were 7 of us including 4 adults and 3 kids (and a 3 month old who couldn't eat with us) and Marinella catered for us with ease and paid attention to every detail. She couldn't have been more welcoming and made certain we were looked after. The food is lovely, the service brilliant and the prices are very reasonable, we even got extra meatballs for free! Now that it's on our radar we'll be sure to return for family celebrations and no doubt a visit here and there for an authentic Italian coffee with a yummy Sicilian dessert 😍 Street parking directly in front of the restaurant makes for an easy visit too...perfect!- Service

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.

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 😋🎄

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.

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.
