Description: In the Leeds outpost of Pudsey you���ll find an intimate Italian restaurant which could just as easily be in a Roman backstreet. Diva Italiana has that welcoming, relaxed feel which sets Italian dining apart, but rather than falling in to any atypical trattoria traps the design is contemporary and stylish with black and white 60s Italian screen sirens lining the walls. The food is purely traditional with every dish put together by Italian chefs using imported ingredients. Expect to be served Tuscan style specialities such as porchetta alla Tuscana ��� a slow roasted suckling pig served with crisp roast potatoes ��� and glorious home style desserts including homemade gelato and tiramisu.

We had a wonderful meal here on the 11th May. The staff were friendly and looked after us with great service. The food was gorgeous, very traditional and very tasty. All in all a great little place, great food, good prices and all served with a friendly smile. I highly recommend the porchetta :-)

A popped in on the off chance of getting a table for three last night. 11th May 2013. What a treat, ate porchetta accompanied by their house Montepulciano and roasted Mediterranean vegetables. What to say other than superb service by the young waitressing staff, they know how to approach and talk to the customers ( it just felt right) clearly... More

Went here for a meal and I personally found it average. Starters came quickly but the main meal took ages to arrive, and when it did my order was wrong! So had to wait for the correct one. The food was ok, nothing to write home about and expensive, the wine was good and reasonably priced. We then had to... More

After seeing that they had won 'Best Italian Restaurant' at the Oliver awards, it sparked me to come back yet again. Had a date on the Saturday so it seemed like a great time. Arrived early so we could chat and have a few cocktails. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. We were seated as... More

Having read all the reviews, we decided to come here for Mother's Day lunch. I eat a lot of italian food as my dad is sicilian, so I know what to expect! 3 adults, 1 teenager and a 7 year old. The actual restaurant was lovely, in an old beamed building, off a cobbled court yard. We were greeted in... More

Starters were ok but went down hill from there on. Main course was not seasoned, very bland. I was left feeling i could have done a better job myself (i am by no means a good cook). Service started fairly good but again dropped off. We decided not to have a desert as we were left with the desert menu... More

Really cosy, warm and welcoming restaurant. Staff are exceptionally polite and attentive, very genuine and look like they take great pleasure in serving you, especially the manager. The food is good, very nicely presented and reasonable value, served fresh and quickly with a nice wait in between courses. The pizza's on a table opposite us looked great. I would recommend... More

Having read plenty of great reviews for this restaurant, I have been promising myself a visit for a little while now. Now that I have finally dined there, my only regret is that I didn't go there sooner. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, the entire experience was out of this world. I love my...

Having booked a Valentine's meal we were looking forward to a romantic meal and to be served and waited on by friendly and attentive staff. Unfortunately being in our late teens, the attitude to ourselves was rather different to the older people eating there. Not once did we get asked if we were enjoying our food or if we required...
