Savour taste of bella Italia

Summer is a great opportunity to spend time with friends and family, so why not treat yourselves to a delicious meal at award-winning Casa Mia Grande? Sit back and relax in this sophisticated Italian restaurant in the heart of Chapel Allerton, Leeds - perhaps in the open conservatory if the weather's good - and allow the attentive staff to take care of your every need, always with a warm and friendly smile.

They will make you feel truly special, explaining any foods and ingredients you 're not familiar with, while making recommendations according to your favourites and whether you want to be bold and adventurous or stick with something more familiar and traditional. The speciality here is fish - as you might guess from the impressive fresh produce counter fronting the kitchen, where you can get up close and personal with all manner of delights from the sea. Scallops, prawns and a whole host of other wonderfully tasty creatures are seasoned and cooked to perfection, along with sauces and accompaniments to bring out their subtle flavours and enhance the dish as a whole.

For those who prefer homemade pasta or fabulous meat dishes, cooked to your liking, there's plenty to choose from and no shortage of inspiration from the main menu and specials board.

And even if you don't usually have a particularly sweet tooth, absolutely do not even consider leaving this highly esteemed eateries ithout devouring one of the stunningly Moorish desserts - they truly are sensational.

An excellent selection of classic Italian wines is available to complement every course, as well as smooth yet powerful espresso to finish off your dining experience and help you stay awake for more good times with good company.

If you can't make it for a night out, why not consider popping in for lunch instead, or arrange to meet up with friends in the separate bar area where you can sup fine Champagne as you catch up?

The food and atmosphere at Casa Mia Grande are fantastic, whatever the day and whatever the time, but perhaps best of all is the fact you can always be sure of a wonderfully warm Italian welcome, as well as excellent value for money.
