What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gianni's Brio is a long-standing Harrogate favorite for authentic Italian cuisine, consistently praised for its delicious food and friendly, professional service. While many rave about dishes like the lasagne and pizzas, and appreciate the accommodating nature for dietary needs, some guests have noted that the lively atmosphere can be challenging for those with hearing difficulties during peak times, and special occasions might not always receive the recognition hoped for.
"Love this restaurant! The best lasagne I've ever eaten, no question, I'm still thinking about it a day later. Polite and friendly staff, great with the kids, top quality food and ingredients (it is Harrogate so between £16-£19 for a pasta dish) but absolutely worth it. Extensive wine list, can even get an Amarone by the glass! Will always book when staying in Harrogate. Thanks guys!"

"This restaurant is amazing, the food is amazing, the service is friendly, it is sort of quiet around 8:50. The portions are perfect and shareable. It is wheelchair friendly with a ramp, and stairs. If you are planning Italian in Harrogate (or around), go here!"

"Excellent as always. The food here is always incredible, absolutely top quality dining and service. Honestly cannot recommend it enough, we live hundreds of miles away in Scotland but Gianni's is still our favourite restaurant."

The Locals' Guide to Harrogate: Family Restaurants
Located on King’s Road in the heart of Harrogate, Gianni’s Brio opposite the Harrogate Convention Centre has been serving up authentic, Italian cuisine for all the family since 1983. It’s a popular favourite in the town, that’s for sure, and its family-friendly ethos ensures a warm welcome. Now run by his son Marco, Gianni can still be found almost every day lending a hand, along with his daughter Elena and wife Franca on busy nights.
Vegan & Vegetarian
Always a struggle to find somewhere lovely to eat that caters for different dietary needs !. My partner is vegan and gluten free , I am vegetarian and gluten free . The menu had lots of options for myself & upon request so accommodating for my partner , as everything was freshly made cooking something for him was no problem at all !
Our Top Restaurant Recommendations - Harrogate Stays
Bright, modern, family-friendly restaurant, serving pizzas and Italian favourites. Lots of tables so a better bet if you haven’t booked in advance. Menu is more extensive than Stuzzi and a little cheaper.
