Sant Angelo

Get me checking into somewhere so far out of the LS1 area! You know this place must have been something special to get me out for that (although having a lift also helped massively!!).
I’m a bit of a fan of Italian food, and also a fan of live entertainment in restaurants — so Sant’ Angelo was perfect for me. I took a group along for a Shirley Bassey tribute evening & a meal, and they were both fantastic.
The singer started off with a number of Shirley hits, but also completely played the character well. she then came back to do a 2^nd set which featured a number of hits from different performers & also included a few tracks from Dolly Parton (where again she played the act well).
I massively enjoyed a very generous helping of spaghetti carbonara, while my friends tucked into a well portioned & tasty lasagne, rigatoni & finally a fishy type salad (can you tell I don’t eat salad or seafood from that?) — the salad, I was advised, wasn’t quite as filling as the other dishes — but what do you expect from a salad (not that I would know, I think I mentioned that I’m a salad dodger?).
The venue itself is very centrally located. if you live in Wetherby. otherwise it’s definitely worth taking a trip out to enjoy. The staff were all fun, friendly, interactive & attentive and the venue itself is a beautiful setting for a meal, whether that be an intimate meal for 2 or for a larger group of you.
I only had one let down in the evening, and that was due to a slightly rowdy group at the table next to us, whom even the singer had to ask to quieten down a couple of times & I could also see that they were disturbing the other diners sat at the other side of them. I just felt that the staff of the venue should have noted that they were disturbing others and taken more action to quieten them down a bit — don’t get me wrong, they weren’t totally wild & out of control otherwise I think many people would have been vocalising their complaints.
We’re already planning on returning in December, then again in April, so all in all it was a great experience that I’m looking forward to enjoying, and maybe I can upgrade to 5 star next time!
