Lovely food and good service. Shame they didn't take card as we had to budget with the cash we had, rather than spend more.

Wow. It is really hard to find authentic Italian pasta in the UK that rivals what you eat in Italy. The crab linguine is amazing. The rest of the party all loved their food too. And the focaccia is so good that we asked for...a portion to take home. If you love pasta, I would definitely recommend Kia’s.More

Went for husbands birthday treat and it was superb. This was our third visit and it’s got incrementally better each time. The ragu with gluten free pasta nearly beat me as it was a rich, very generous portion. I was brought up to ‘waste not...want not’ so I finished it but could only manage coffee to complete the meal. The birthday lad enjoyed his lasagna too!More

I think this is my 3rd 5 star review for kia’s. Once again we are back and once again they did not disappoint. I went to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend and it was incredible again. I had the crab pasta and he had...the Calabrese. We loved them both equally so we kept swapping throughout the meal, we couldn’t choose a favourite. We had the focaccia to start as usual and it was gorgeous, probably the best i’ve had. we had the rocola salad to accompany our pasta and even that was worthy of the 5 star. The waitress was clearly new and young but was doing a fantastic job, very attentive and friendly. Already can’t wait to return.More

First time I've been here and although I'm loathe to write this it was disappointing. We arrived to be told there was a staff shortage in the kitchen and staff training was being undertaken ( on a Friday night?) So expect delays. OK but perhaps...a drink on the house or some complimentary bread and dipping oil would have been appropriate in the circumstances. Starters £7 for a small single portion of foccacia, not cheap at all. Pasta dishes served without anything else for the best part of 20 quid even in today's world is just too pricey I'm afraid. The lead waitress was excellent and doing her best in difficult circumstances. Another waitress actually questioned whether I should have parmesan on my pasta ( with seabass) which our table found amusing. The pasta was very tasty. Cash only? Sorry to be criticalMore

This is a really cute pastaria with a great selection of freshly made pasta. The food was great. We booked in advance - would recommend as we went on a weekend and so was quite busy. We found that the service was quite slow unfortunately,...we only ordered a main course and drinks and we were there for around an hour and a half. There was a lot of waiting for food and the bill as well. We had to ask twice for this. Would recommend and would go again but probably a better experience midweek. Cash only.More

Top-quality Italian cooking and a chilled but stylish ambience. We've not been here before but will definitely be coming again on the evidence of our meal yesterday evening. Two specials to share to start with - some exceptionally good sea-salt and rosemary foccacia with oil...and balsamic, and 3 very tasty arancini's with tomato salsa. And then Jenny moved on to another special for her main - "Cozze", billed as a starter, but huge - a giant bowl of mussels in a fragrant and spicy 'nduja flavoured broth with white beans (& more foccacia). She looked very happy.... And I had a delicious dolcellate and wilted spinach pasta dish, with distinctively chewy pasta - a real treat. The parmesan is freshly grated onto the dishes at the table, the waitress was a delight, and it was fun being able to watch the chefs at work in the kitchen at the back of the restaurant. Just one thing to be aware of - the restaurant doesn't take cards, only cash, and because we had just walked in rather than booking we only discovered at the end of the meal. Not a problem as it turned out, as we could set up an immediate online transfer via our bank, but be aware. A great evening, and just what we needed after a very busy 36 hours and a lot of driving.More

I returned to Kias this evening with some friends, and once again, the food was outstanding. Every dish is clearly made with love and care, and it's one of the few places in Sheffield where you can really taste the difference. Im still disappointed to...see that they've taken the spinach mascarpone pasta off the menu, but with so many other great options, it's hard to be too saddened. I've recommended Kias to many friends, and they've all loved it too. I can't wait to come back soon!More

Nice restaurant ,nothing special inside ,could do with updating in my opinion. Food was lovely and young staff did a really good job explaining the specials. Busy for a Thursday evening with a nice atmosphere. Don’t like the idea of cash only?Whats that all about?!

I previously wrote a review the day following our visit, I feel as though what I wrote didn’t quite do this restaurant justice. We had a wonderful evening, a really intimate and authentic experience! From the moment we arrived on the door step we were...so warmly welcomed, enthusiastically talked through the specials and even given an early peak at the desserts! Staff were attentive but not at all overbearing The food was absolutely out of this world, I had the seafood linguine and my partner a pesto pasta dish… both absolutely phenomenal. Every restaurant we have visited since we have compared to Kia’s Pastaria, no where else is remotely close to this experience and we are itching to visit againMore

We had a lovely evening, it started with a warm welcome and the atmosphere was relaxed. We were given time to browse the drinks menu and to my pleasure was informed they sold a variety of gins! Unfortunately I can’t drink wine but my husband...enjoyed his glass of house red! Once receiving our drinks the specials board was explained in full detail! I chose the Focaccia with sea salt and oil, I was so pleased I did as this was so fresh and was the best I have ever had! My husband had the meatballs and his face said it all! He loved them and said he wished these were available as a main as well as a starter! To follow I had the Ragu Stracciato which was slow braised beef cheek, all I can say is wow! Lots of meat which melted in mouth! My husband chose the Branzino which was Seabass and Prawns, he said that it was the best thing he had eaten in a very long time! We were pretty full but couldn’t leave without sharing a Tiramisu- again very good and yummy! To summarise the food is absolutely amazing, In our opinion the best in Sheffield! We will be back in the next few weeks! Thank you to the Chef! Only advice I can offer is make sure the Focaccia is a regular on the menu :-)More

Took our parents tonight and weren’t disappointed. The service & the food were outstanding as usual. The garlic mushrooms with cream & dolcelate starter were absolutely devine.
