"I booked this restaurant for our 1st wedding anniversary after carefully searching restaurants in our area for reviews, it looked absolutely perfect BUT it couldn't have been more wrong, in fact the only good thing I have to say about this place is the young girl that welcomed us and did absolutely everything and I mean everything. she welcomed us, served our drinks, took our orders, served our food, cleared our table, everything. the first red flag came as soon as we sat down and were presented with a menu printed on a piece of A4 paper with not a very wide selection of things to eat maybe 5 of each, starters, main course and desert then to be told a couple of those were actually not on because ingredients had not been delivered. well we thought small menu so the food must be really good, this couldn't have been further from the truth. we both ordered brucheta to start, when it came we were presented with a piece of sliced bread probably from the co op from over the road with a mush on top that didn't look very appetizing, not fresh tomatoes and so on and so forth. then came the main I ordered chicken kiev and the wife got a pizza. the wife ate 3 pieces of her pizza because she was hungry. what was presented in front of me is another story, i paid £11 for a tennis ball size and shape of processed meat, just like you get from the supermarket on a bed of to be honest i still dont know what it was, no flavour to any of it and to cap it all of it was burnt. we didn't complain at he time because we are not the sort to do that, we dont like making a scene but this experience absolutely ruined what should have been a perfect day for us our first wedding anniversary. now i dont know whether we caught them on a bad day or what, i read all the reviews before and i have read them all again since and it doesn't make any sense, all i can say is i certainly will not be returning or recommending this place to any of my friends."

Fantastic food in a gorgeous setting. The vesuvio pizza was great and the stuzzi bits were a treat too. Good selection of wine and drinks

Good, but could have been great. Pleasant, would recommend, the food was interesting and about on the mark for most of the meal. The ambience could be worked on a little. If you are the owner, send a friend there and ask their experience.

Not what we expected! One member of staff, one chef , who was messy and smoked outside in front of the restaurant , food was awful , lighting in the place was so bright, didn’t feel confortable as it was cold, had to keep our coats on. Don’t enjoy the experience at all, wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid

Incredible food, everything was mind blowing. Tartar was next level, squid ink pasta and clams were cooked just perfectly and the porchetta with black pudding remoulade was out of this world. Only problem for me was the lack of people eating there, seriously guys! Already booked my table to go back on sunday!!!

Pretty poor. Service was ok but G&T arrived with no ice and no lemon. The music was being played quite loudly from a portable speaker which was really annoying. The lights were incredibly bright and flickered throughout the meal. The food choice was pretty limited and quite odd seemed to be an awful lot of items with vegan cheese and/or squid ink. Won’t be returning unfortunately.

I booked this restaurant because the information on the website indicated that they were tasting dishes so I was looking forward to trying a variety of dishes. I was therefore surprised to be presented with a menu which just showed three courses, no tasting dishes and no suggestion of alternative pizza bases which had sounded exciting. Despite the disappointment, we ordered starters and main courses. The starters (chicken and venison balls) were both very good. The restaurant was busy and with only one poor waitress trying to serve food and make cocktails, slow. I had the cod which was lovely but I’d advise against the side of carrots- just a plain plate of steamed veg would have accompanied...

"My son expressed his desire for a restaurant that wasn't too fancy or too casual. It's always a challenge to gather grown-up sons for celebrations when they are spread out, especially when you're unfamiliar with the restaurants in Leeds. After scrolling for hours and exchanging options, we finally settled on Gallery 41, which happened to have a 20% off deal on all food for certain days in November - perfect for N's birthday. After a long journey and a chilly afternoon at Kirkstall Abbey, we were ready to eat, and boy, did we eat well. The olives were a hit with my sons and husband, while the garlic bread was described as some of the best they'd ever had. The Skin Fries were a crowd favorite, so much so that we almost fought over the last ones. The main dishes were equally impressive, with the meat eaters raving about the Spiced Pepperoni and the Vegetarian option wowing my husband. I couldn't resist the Florentina pizza, a personal favorite of mine. Dessert was a hit as well, with everyone indulging in their sweet tooth. The atmosphere at Gallery 41 was perfect for our family gathering - quiet, cozy, and conducive to good conversation. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I look forward to returning with the rest of my family and indulging in more of Gallery 41's delicious offerings. In the end, it's the simple things like family, good food, and quality time together that truly matter. Thank you, Gallery 41, for a wonderful dining experience."
