Semolino - Italian food in Leeds

Head out to 3 Newton Garth and you'll find yourself in a restaurant that takes Italian food seriously without the theatre. This is the kind of place where you'll get handmade pasta that actually tastes different from the stuff you've had a hundred times before, and where the owner clearly gives a damn about what lands on your plate. Potternewton's not usually where you'd expect to find this level of cooking, but that's what makes it feel like a proper neighbourhood spot rather than somewhere trying too hard. The reviews speak for themselves—locals keep coming back because the food is genuinely good.
