We were on the same table for 7 mentioned on previous review & completely disagree! Of course people are entitled to their own opinion & possibly the place & food just wasn't for them. We've eaten at Stuzzi on many occasions & as always we really enjoyed the authentic Italian food, atmosphere & friendly service, as have most people we know that have been there too. On this occasion as we were a larger table they brought a selection of food from the menu chosen for us & whilst this may not be my preferred way of ordering, it did make a change, was very sociable & we certainly left feeling well fed & had a really enjoyable evening. As with most restaurants, wine & other alcohol choices can quickly inflate the bill if you're not careful!
We visited on Friday lunchtime after a friends recommendation. Food was amazing, good service and great beer too. For starters, we shared the mixed meat/cheese platter and fresh bread. Then for mains we both had a pasta dish, which was cooked to perfection. Would recommend to anyone to visit this restaurant when in Harrogate! Thank you.
Delicious and unusual food. Small menu. Lovely atmosphere and service. Veggie options still plentiful despite small menu.
Came here for my birthday last week and absolutely loved it - we’d had recommendations for the Leeds one but couldn’t get in there so decided to book the Harrogate one. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was fantastic!
Between two of us we shared an arancino starter and fried seafood. We absolutely adored the arancino which was £4, but the seafood one for £16 did pale a bit in comparison. It was nice, but I think we both felt we would rather have just ordered more arancino! For mains it is recommended you share, however I don’t eat meat and my partner does so we opted to just have our own. I had a mushroom truffle pasta and it was absolutely delicious.
Definitely would recommend this place and hope to visit again!
Great flavours, often with a little twist (e.g. cinnamon tagliatelle with pig head). Great drinks too (thoroughly recommend the Stuzzi-made gin). Dessert platter also gives you a little bit of everything, incl. your own choice of ice cream.
One of the best Sunday roast we have ever had. A hidden gem!
First time visiting, menu was very small not many options for someone who doesn’t eat fish, it was a cool little spot I liked how it was a chilled vibe, we were a big group and they did a great job serving all the food at the same time, I chose the pasta and it was so tasty could have had a hint of spice to make it perfect but I was very impressed.
Recommend by my sister in-law!
Stuzzi is a very quaint energetic place with more wine than Maynards Bassets and more cheese than a Swiss Fondü.
A truly unique restaurant with a small but packed menu. The staff are just great, they really give the restaurant the great atmosphere that you can hear from the outside.
Although they do not cater to allergens… so if you’re fussy, they ain’t gonna fuss.

The food was just incredible. Everything hot (apart from the cold dishes 👀). Everything delicious. Everything filling.
The focaccia was warm, soft and crispy. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The Arancini was amazing.
Honestly it seems expensive for what it is, but I’ve spent more elsewhere and left hungry. I’m absolutely stuffed for there. The portions are generous.
Loved having a sing along with the staff at close.
I also love how unashamed they are to tell customers No! No changes!
Super friendly staff I needed a changing table and the waiter offered a space upstairs. The food is not your typical menu I'd suggest coming here with friends to try out new ingredients. The menu portion is similar to tapas and is excellent for sharing
Visited stuzzi on a weekend break in Harrogate. Sardinian restaurant specialising in small plates....but very good portions! So pleased that we booked - the food was delicious, the arancini balls are a must have - there are no words for the lovely cheesy centre! Lovely atmosphere, families, couples and celebrations all around us. Inside and outdoor dining available. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable, best service I have experienced in a long time. The fish was outstanding and the freshly baked bread could be a meal in itself. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.
Excellent food in a relaxed place.
We went for my first Fathers Day and we were really impressed. Although the menu was quite limited ok the day, and they had run out of Porchetta unfortunately, we had a really great time.
The mussels in a lobster and nduja bisque with focaccia was so tasty. The mussels were tender and cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and deep.
The pappardelle ragu was rich and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was Al dente. Perfetta.
We ended up getting the T-bone steak (because the porchetta has run out). While it was 4 times the price it was outstanding. Cooked sous vide and then grilled, every morsel was perfect and tasty. Along with the potatoes with pancetta and a cheese sauce, and the carrots cooked in nduja with nuts, it really was a meal to remember.
We had a nice bottle of Sangiovese too. The service was really friendly and quick. The place has a good atmosphere. We sat in the outside patio bit and it was a nice day. Overall a fantastic time was had. Will. Be. Back. 👌
We come to this restaurant quite a lot, we love it, the staff are so kind and also so much fun! We came yesterday for our anniversary and they gave us a free dessert, we like to support local businesses but we also just love the food!!!! its really a hidden gem!
