Best Italian Restaurants in Leicester

We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner - everything was delicious . Although not a cheap place to eat not crazy expensive either and many affordable options and excellent wine choices. Flavors combinations were interesting and different exceeding expectations. My friend said her tomato soup was the “best she ever had”!? My husband’s crab entrusted red snapper was extraordinary - and the truffle infused crostini wowed!

Amazing experience! Great customer service from the hostess to our server. The French toast was amazing and was a great compliment to our omelettes.

Our experience overall was a great one! It was a busy night and we were seated by the restrooms and the kitchen which made us a little uncomfortable, they were understanding and got us another table which was much better! The service was brilliant. It was easy to see that everyone who worked there, thoroughly enjoyed their work which makes the entire experience that much more enjoyable for the diners. Rob recommended the perfect wine pairings, he understood exactly what we were looking for! We had the bread basket, beef carpaccio, the 8oz steak with salsa verde and the bucatini carbonara. The butter in the bread basket was brilliant, we couldn’t get enough! (If they bottle it and sell it, we will buy it). And the steak salsa verde left such a great taste in my mouth, I didn’t want to sully it with anything else. The carbonara while good was a little too heavy for our liking. Maybe a smaller portion of something that heavy would go down better.  We then finished the meal with the tiramisu which was just right. We will definitely go back to try more!

The food was delicious and the service was great. The mushroom ragú was very hearty and tasty. The striped bass special was fresh and properly cooked. We shared a delicious brownie with gelato. The pasta, brownie and gelato were all house-made. They have a nice bourbon offering and good wine selection.

This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
