This restaurant is close to home and never disappoints .A good choice of food plus excellent pasta and pizza dishes. The wine, particularly is reasonable priced and the service is always friendly and efficient. It is a real gem of a restaurant and I can only assume the one bad review was from a lady who arrived late for her... More

I think the diners rating this place obviously do not appreciate good food. I would have paid £60 a plate for authentic Italian food but my son chose this place and quite frankly I make a better ravioli dish from a tin! It also helps if you haven't a clue on what is freshly prepared as opposed something from the... More

This is a great local restaurant in Meanwood, opposite the Waitrose. The food is some of the best in Leeds. Consistent quality, great flavour. The team that run this are really friendly, and its brilliant to see them having so much fun at work. Having a chat with them whilst ordering is so much more relaxing than going to a... More

We sampled first hand Via Verde's excellent food last night, having heard good reports of it. At 7.00 pm the place was full - although it is only small and the tables are very close together with not much room for the amazingly friendly waitress to wend her way through. So the first thing to say is - remember to... More

Small, unpretentious, friendly service, great freshly cooked food, good prices. Nothing to dislike and muchnto recommend it

Via Verde is a lovely local bistro that serves simple and delicious fodder. The fish is always amazing here and the prices are not to be sniffed at. I've been a few times now and never been dissappointed. Great news for meanwood! Well done Via Verde!

We are lucky enough to live within walking distance of this restaurant which is a huge bonus. Given its proximity, we eat there regularly. On my many visits I have yet to be disappointed with the food or the service. The restaurant is only small but this gives it a really cosy and friendly atmosphere. All the food is really... More

I have to disagree with the majority of reviewers and say that, although the food and atmosphere at Via Verde is acceptable, it is not worthy of five star excelence. My spaghetti was not authentic, and my wife's lasagne was a bit school dinnery. I don't wish to denigrate the establishment but to continually overstate it's rating doesn't give a... More

It was my first time here after hearing lots of positive things from friends about the restaraunt we decided to give it a try. The service was great and really welcoming. The food was fresh and delicious. Small and cosy atmosphere which was relaxing and enjoyable. I will definately be returning soon to try something else on the menu!
