Piccolino Ilkley

Visited on Tuesday for a date night. For starters we had pizza bread and olives.. the olives were gorgeous and the pizza bread was very fresh and tasty. Mains , we had Lasagna and ribeye steak. The steak was amazing.. possibly the best I’ve had. I did compliment the chef as I was so impressed. We had 2x red wine (Chianti Classico) and 2x white wine (Pino). Total bill came to £61 - £15 tip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Can I just say how impressed I am with the restaurants 50% off your bill policy in January.. usually restaurants don’t offer this and it’s an excellent idea to get customers through the door at the quietest time of the year.. ❤️ SUPPORT THIS RESTAURANT!!

We made a booking as we were staying one night locally. When we made the booking we were asked if we'd like "the terrace" - which we said yes. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Music was dreadful - a continuous "Ibiza" beat. Not quite the quiet couples night we were looking forward to. The infra-red heating was creating it's own hole in the Ozone layer - but the draught from the window behind my back was freezing! We were encouraged to download the app - in order to get "the Friday discount special" - two courses and a drink for £25 per person. We did so, but the two courses were starter & main ( we'd rather have a main & dessert). The starters arrived very promptly and were very tasty. Mr M's plate was clearly heated in the bowels of hell. Even after the food was eaten, the waiter couldn't pick it up when he cleared the table. We had to ask twice about our mains and were told they were "two minutes away". We actually waited about an hour for our main course. In fairness, the food was fantastic - we both had the risotto. It tasted freshly cooked and egg was perfectly cooked. When we asked for the bill, it was presented with a charge of £224 - clearly the wrong table. When that was queried, another bill was presented for £55. Bearing in mind the "Two Course Special" was £25 per person, we were rather confused. Mr M queried the amount and was told the there was was 10% service charge! Under normal circumstances, we are happy to pay service charge or leave a considerable tip. However, the service tonight simply did not merit. A very disappointing experience. And I have deleted the app, as we will not be returning

Great service, good food, and atmosphere for early dining. Steak slighly overdone for what was asked for but rectified straight away when staff asked if everything was OK. We dined on the sun terrace and will be back to try the downstairs eating experience.
