Best Italian Restaurants in Leicester

Best meal we have had in a long time! We had crab cake Caesar, pizza, and chocolate souffle and we ate every crumb. Portions were huuuuge! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious and hearty. The menu was more extensive than the one online. All the pizzas sounded great. Prices were extremely reasonable, service was friendly and helpful and no pressure to order wine/drinks, despite an extensive selection. The decor and ambience reminded us of a contemporary restaurant we visited in Rome. We waddled out with a food buzz.

This was our second visit to the Glass Onion. It was even better than the first. The food (my dish was made with cob) was excellent. Service was efficient and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Convenient location. I don't know what else anybody would be looking for in a restaurant. Go there!

Our birthday celebration meal was so perfect! Our food was delicious- Margherita pizza with the thinnest crispy crust, the green weeds salad we shared, and the little Carmelo pasta was a real treat with the added balsamic addition. All of the pasta, made in house, was al dente with perfect amounts of sauce. But the staff at Luminosa was, as always, exemplary in their attentiveness, knowledge of the menu items, and kindness. They make this wonderfully historic space worth coming often, which I have! We even got a tour of the newly opened red ribbon space - thank you Ace, Sara Charles and Amy.

Hotel lobby that is serving mighty fine Italian food. Personal size pizza with creative ingredients fresh pasta made daily, shareable, mains and delish deserts fill the menu. We shared a pizza and argue seafood ravs that were chock full of ingredients and topped with several shrimps. But the sauce… oh my gosh that sauce Zepoles for dessert sealed the great experience. Definitely go

This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
