Located on Town Street in Horsforth, Pranzo Italian is a warm and welcoming neighbourhood restaurant that brings the heart of Calabria to Leeds. Housed in a beautifully converted former bank, the space blends rustic charm with modern elegance - think exposed brick, soft lighting, and a relaxed, convivial atmosphere that’s perfect for everything from family meals to date nights.
Pranzo Horsforth is the third addition to the Pranzo family, and it stays true to its roots with a menu inspired by owner Marco’s Southern Italian heritage. The culinary philosophy here is simple: fresh, homemade, and full of flavour. Pasta is made in-house daily, alongside freshly baked bread, rich sauces, and indulgent desserts. Every dish reflects the traditions Marco learned from his Nonna, who crafted meals using ingredients straight from the garden.
The menu offers something for everyone, from classic pasta dishes to seasonal specials and hearty Sunday roasts. Vegan, gluten-free, and kids’ options are thoughtfully included, making it an inclusive spot for all appetites. Highlights include slow-cooked ragu, creamy risottos, and vibrant antipasti that showcase the kitchen’s attention to detail and love for Italian cooking. Pop in on Sunday to enjoy prime Yorkshire beef rump or braised lamb shoulder, served alongside rosemary potatoes, honey roasted carrots, as well as a Yorkshire pud and lashings of gravy.
To complement the food, Pranzo offers a curated selection of wines, many imported directly from Italy, alongside refreshing cocktails and soft drinks. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the relaxed, family-style vibe that defines the Pranzo experience.
Pranzo Horsforth is a local favourite that delivers authentic Italian hospitality with flair. Whether you're popping in for a leisurely lunch or settling in for a full evening of indulgence, this charming spot promises a taste of Italy that’s both comforting and memorable.
