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.
Shortlisted this restaurant for our weekend visit to Harrogate and were very happy we did. The food is much more imaginative, flavoursome and fresh than your run of the mill trattoria. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant has a wonderful contemporary and quirky vibe, reflected in the decor. You will not struggle to find a really good bottle of wine to accompany your meal. We chose the best value red which was light and fruity - as we wanted - and accompanied the food perfectly. Sadly, we were too full to enjoy dessert but they have a great selection. Standout dishes were the antipasti tart, supper light focaccia, broccoli with feta and harissa creme fraiche dressing and the beef pappardelle which was rich and hearty. All in we spent around £30 per head with service charge.
such lovely food and gorgeously presented,really lovely and comfy setting and our waitress (el) was extremely accommodating,lovely and helpful,would definitely recommend :)
Food was absolutely amazing, we tried most of the small plates and everything was spot on 👌
Exceptionally nice Italian food, served in a friendly atmosphere.
This place was recommended many times for its unusual menu. The bonus being that it allowed dogs. The staff were very enthusiastic and informative.
Delicious and unusual food. Small menu. Lovely atmosphere and service. Veggie options still plentiful despite small menu.
Beautiful unique restaurant with a very special menu which all appear to be a ‘home made style’ twist on orthodox Italian style food to which we have become accustomed.
On the sunny afternoon that we arrived we were seated in the outside area and treated by the respectful young staff professionally and the dishes were explained in a way that we easily understood.
Our dishes were gorgeous, fresh and vibrant and this extended to the following sweet menu too
We’ll be back
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
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.
Six years ago we tried Stuzzi for the first time and were amazed with the food and appreciated the knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff team. Today was only our second visit and we were every bit as impressed. The menu is quite limited, but with such quality and flavour that wasn't a problem, I'm sure any choice would be enjoyable. All three courses were flavoursome, freshly prepared and well presented. Apart from the antipasti first course, the tapas style main course dishes were not ones we'd seen before, but each were outright winners. The arancini with a hint of fennel and chilli, the bucatini with ox cheek and the squash on puff pastry with a light creamy, cheesy and truffle sauce.
Wish we could visit more often.
