Best Restaurants in Harrogate
From Michelin-starred destination dining and long-standing Harrogate favourites to Italian small plates, seafood, Thai and modern British cooking, these are the restaurants worth knowing about.
Restaurants
Stuzzi
Italian small plates and wine on Kings Road, cooking in the southern Italian tradition.

Stuzzi built its reputation on cicchetti-style small plates and a wine list with genuine Italian depth rather than a token page of it.
The format encourages ordering across the menu — a few plates, some bread, a glass of something regional — which suits both a quick pre-theatre stop and a longer table of four.
It is a relaxed, contemporary room rather than a formal dining experience, and it has become one of the reliable Harrogate answers when someone wants Italian food that isn't a red-sauce cliché. Tables are limited, so book ahead for evenings.
