Sharing my passion for homemade pasta inspired by my Nonna
A Taste of Italy in Yorkshire
Welcome to Pranzo, a family-run Italian restaurant with a passion for traditional pasta-making and a commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. Our journey began in 2018 with the opening of our first restaurant in Ilkley, followed by the launch of our Harrogate and Horsforth locations. Over the years, we have established ourselves as one of the best Italian restaurants in the region, earning a prestigious AA Rosette for culinary excellence.
Our Story
Marco, our founder, takes inspiration from his family heritage in Calabria, Southern Italy, where he watched his Nonna make homemade pasta mixed with ingredients picked from their garden. Today, you can experience the same love and care that goes into every dish at Pranzo. From our pasta to our breads, sauces, and desserts, everything is made in-house, using only the finest ingredients.
Our Menus
Our menu features a range of delicious dishes, each one showcasing the flavors and techniques of traditional Italian cuisine. From classic pasta dishes like our famous Seafood Bigoli to newer creations like our Lobster Ravioli, there's something for everyone at Pranzo. Be sure to check out our seasonal lunch menu, which offers great value for money, as well as our specials menu, which features dishes prepared by our award-winning chefs.
