“ One of the best meals we had in 2024. Visited in December during the snow storm and found cover in Stuzzi. We sat in the outside but covered area which was lovely and cosy with the heat lamps. Food and service were both exceptional. Had a great mix of dishes, with our highlights being the parsnip salad and burrata. The dessert board we got was also incredible but I think we bit off a bit more than we could chew. Would probably be better for 3-4 people rather than 2! Prices are more than fair for the quality and portions you receive. ”
“ A fabulous menu with premium flavours and ingredients. The waiters were very helpful with advising what to order, and very attentive during our visit. The focaccia is incredible! ”
“ Every time we visit Harrogate, we always eat at Stuzzi, and tonight was just as delicious as always. Cannot fault anything. David was an absolute star, looking after us from start to finish, and the menu was so inventive, with each mouthful being a brilliant journey in to Italian stuzzichini. Bravo Stuzzi! ”
“ Enjoyed a delicious dinner of small plates and a cocktail at Stuzzi while in Harrogate overnight visiting an elderly relative and staying a few doors away at The Marmot. I was glad I had made a reservation the week before as Stuzzi is justifiably popular and filled up fast from around 7pm and there was a nice buzzy atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing and I appreciated my waiter’s guidance which helped me avoid over-ordering (as everything sounded delicious so I was struggling to choose). The arancini are huge so one was plenty for me and nicely complemented by the light and fresh carrot salad and the cured sea trout. ”
“ Good service with good food. Small plates restaurant with decent wines and cocktails. Probably one of my fav in Harrogate. We always visit when we are up here. Food can be fairly rich but goes well with a glass of wine or two! Price range is around 40pp including drinks. I would give it a 4.8 out of 5 ”
“ It's almost like an Italian tapas style, great for sharing a number of plates between a few of you. The food was amazing and they change the menu regularly as it is all that fresh. It sounds like all the staff know what they are talking about too and gave some great recommendations. I think I tried half of the menu tonight, with the highlight for me being the arancini, the best I've had outside of Milan. They were that good we ordered seconds! I like the casual and relaxed atmosphere too, would definitely be returning on our next visit to Harrogate. ”
“ One of Harrogate’s best. The delicious rotating menu, the service, the ambience never disappoints. Love food innovation while balancing a homely feeling. The arancini is always to die for! Highly recommend and a great date night spot ”
“ Best restaurant in Harrogate, feels like a home you've been invited into for dinner. Go with 4 people and order 1 of everything. Then go back every week because it doesn't get old. ”
