You can now get your Stuzzi fix for less, as acclaimed restaurant announces new affordable lunchtime offering.
Now celebrating five years in Leeds’ Grand Arcade, Stuzzi is the brainchild of four English guys ‘obsessed’ with Italy and their passion really shines through.
Using inspiration from their numerous trips around Italy, Stuzzi is a real love letter to the world’s greatest food country and is ever-evolving with new discoveries as they fit jaunts to Venice, Naples, Tuscany and beyond into their busy schedules.
And now their new lunchtime menu means you can indulge in Stuzzi's delicious Italian cuisine without breaking the bank.
The menu features two courses for £18.50 or three courses for £23.50, what a bargain.
Showcasing simple, authentic dishes with quality ingredients, diners can start with a summer salad of raw herb-marinated courgette, black olive, spiced tomato gel, pickled red onion and salted pumpkin seed or indulge in Prosciutto di Parma with house pickles and Stuzzi-made grissini for a £3 surcharge.
Main courses highlight Roman classics, featuring house-made Stuzzi rigatoni served as either a freshly made carbonara or cacio e pepe.

Or if you're looking to get extra fancy, diners can opt for the 5oz Onglet steak served with salsa verde and crispy potatoes for an additional £5.
To finish, choices include Stuzzi’s iconic tiramisu or an affogato – vanilla gelato drowned in a Stuzzi X North Star blend espresso.

And whilst you're there don’t forget to kick things off with an Aperol Spritz, we’d go as far to say that it’s the best one you can find in Leeds – and quite possibly anywhere outside of Italy.
The Stuzzi lunch menu is available Wednesday to Friday from 12pm to 5pm, and you can book your table here.
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.
