Discover a 'hidden' gem in Horsforth

... where lovers of Italian food are truly spoilt for choice

- BY YEP REVIEWER

A lot of restaurants will profess to producing the best pizzas in the city.

In my experience, some of the glitzier establishments that receive the most acclaim cannot hold a candle to some of the independent hidden gems you can find scattered across Leeds.

It is certainly not hidden to the people of Horsforth, but Trattoria il Forno is undoubtedly an absolute gem of an Italian.

There is nothing particularly flashy or flamboyant about the venue and its interior is incredibly simplistic.

However, walking in to see an array of happy families is always a good sign. They couldn't all be faking it, surely?

I did browse Trattoria il Forno's selection of classic Italian dishes and there was a fair amount of toing and fro-ing.
