Casa Mia Millennium

Old hands may pine for the cramped little deli/café that launched the Casa Mia phenomenon, & maybe a little of the soul in the food has been lost along the way, but this growing empire is undeniably impressive. The flagship Casa Mia Millennium is a shiny, split-level trattoria occupying a prime site in the Electric Press building on Millennium Square. A big glass frontage & colourful lighting lure in the crowds for a mixed Italian menu that moves competently through a popular assortment of pizzas & pastas to more showy char-grilled meat & fish dishes. The original Casa Mia coffee shop is at 10-12 Stainbeck Lane, Chapel Allerton (0113 266 1269), while Casa Mia Grande occupies 33-37 Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton (0113 239 2555).
