Drift Clifford Street in York

super yummy pizza and the server was really nice! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Malwina was very good. Thank you

Izzy was so friendly and really made the experience amazing!! :)

Very good service, we enjoyed our meal in York

King prawn and burrata pizza fantastic better than the 1st time I had it. Maliane great attentive host.

Stopped off here for a bite the eat. Lovely atmosphere with helpful and welcoming staff Would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to grab a pizza

Excellent service and excellent food

Had a gorgeous meal here before heading to a show at the Grand Opera House Theatre, York. Lovely ambience and staff very attentive and friendly.

Prompt and polite service. Was asked if there were any dietary requirements and provided with gluten free menu.

Absolutely the best food and service, a fantastic team in all aspects.

Such a lovely comfortable clean restaurant, all staff are very friendly, helpful and professional especially Alina she cannot do enough for you and the food is lovely and presented well.

He estado aquí antes, así que sabía dónde también conseguir un buen desayuno. Era domingo y estaban abiertos a las 9 de la mañana lo que me pareció bien. El servicio es genial y rápido con una sonrisa. Precios un poco más altos que su café habitual, pero es un lugar peculiar y la comida sabe muy bien. Si quieres una buena salida a recogerme empezar también tu día, visita este lugar. Lo único que destaca aquí también es la política de perros... Mucha gente vino con sus perros, así que tenga la seguridad de que este es un lugar adecuado para perros.

Great service from Malwina. Thank you

Great absolutely amazing food.My son even won the server at rock paper scissors. Got two free puddings.Fantastic service. Thankyou.

Delicious food, good options for dietary requirements and Malwina was the perfect host.

Malwina was a wonderful server, friendly and helpful. The food and drink were delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely.

It was such a good atmosphere and tonia our server was so lovely and sweet the entire time with a smile on her face, she suggested the lemon meringue pie which was lovely and my daughter got the triple foodie dough which she devoured in seconds, our main food was so good we had the rigatoni and lasagne with a side of chips which was lovely. Great experience

Lovely food as usual. Staff very pleasant Thank you

Very nice and polite staff, testy food, great location

Absolutely loved it her. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. It was my birthday and I got a free dessert.

Really great service and great consideration for my daughter’s allergy. Thank you ☺️

Malwina & Connor were very attentive & professional nothing was too much bother. Food was fab . Thank you for everything x

Fabulous place staff really friendly and helpful, food was very very good and the wine was delicious.

Came ro prezzo for the first time and food and service was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make it nice. Food was delicious would definitely recommend

We shared a really nice meal on our first night staying in York together. The food service and ambience were all lovely.

Excellent service and great food!

Good food, good service, good wine

Food was delicious, and couldn’t have asked for more from the staff. Always smiling and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Great service! Especially one lady with dark hair (believe her name was Alana) she was great, making sure we were happy the whole meal. Deffo recommend for lunch. Food was alright, and atmosphere was relaxed and light.

Lovely food, staff were really attentive. Not very busy for a a Saturday evening

Lovely service very professional, got a table by the window nice to watch the world go by.

Great food, lovely service and quick too. We ate for lunch

Superb place to eat and excellent staff/ service especially Malwine. Just great!

3rd italian place we have tried and it’s by far the best. our waitress was lovely and chatty will definitely come again

Excellent service with intimate atmosphere. The food was excellent, a ravioli and a pizza which both tasted great. Washed down with a nice bottle of red, we were satisfied with everything. Thanks to the staff and chef/s.

Lovely little place, great food friendly staff

Overall we really enjoyed our evening at Prezzo Clifford Street, York. Our only gripe was that we had a 50% voucher which was refused as it was a ‘theatre night’. This restaurant is directly opposite York Grand Opera House so every night is a theatre night. We did book on the basis that we had this voucher. We still enjoyed our evening but would like some clarification on the 50% voucher as you have now sent me another, but obviously I can’t use it, so will not come to the restaurant .

First time back in a long while an food an service was excellent

Chilled atmosphere and food was nice. The service from Connor was lovely and made the meal a pleasant experience.

Always a good experience at Prezzo!

Started using when we go to Opera House opposite. Connor does a great job. Always efficient service with a smile. And unlike a lot of restaurants always consistent.

Megan was lovely, brilliant speedy service!

Excellent service and food as always Looked after by Connor

Stopped off for a quick bite at the York, Clifford Street Prezzo before a long drive home. Connor was very lovely - cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. We heard how charming he was to the other customers too. Thanks for making a quick bite a great meal! Delicious food and excellent customer service :)) Highly recommend!

We went to Prezzo in York on Clifford Street. It was our Wedding Anniversary and we were supposed to go to London but were let down last minute. So we decided to go to York. We were telling out waitress Emily about the London saga. She brought us complimentary Prosecco and a delicious dessert. Fabulous waitress thank you so much...

Cracking early evening food stop

Enjoyed lunch with a friend and took advantage of the buy one main get a second for £1. We are both vegetarians and the only truly vegetarian item was the pizza margherita. There meaty menu options that were labelled with a V or VE and when I asked the waitress why they were labelled that way, she told us they can substitute ‘vegetarian meat’ and ‘vegetarian chicken.’ I know what she meant, but it’s an oxymoron and I don’t want to eat ‘fake’ meat and there’s absolutely no reason an Italian restaurant can’t have pastas and pizzas with just plain veggies like peppers, mushrooms, courgettes, aubergines, etc. I probably won’t be coming back to Prezzo’s unless they change the menu. Other Italian restaurants have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options that don’t include fake animal products.

Some worrying reviews but our experience was excellent. Nice welcome and shown to our pre booked table. We were going to the theatre opposite so had booked dinner for 6pm but ordering and service very speedy by a very charming girl. The food and wine were excellent, the portions generous and the puddings and coffee came without us stressing over completing before the show. The price was fair and I must be easy to please because I could find absolutely nothing wrong with the whole evening at this restaurant! Thank you Prezzo Italian!

Izzy was fantastic, the food was delicious! Highly recommend the prawns.

Excellent as before served each time by Malwine very relaxing peaceful lunch. Thank you

Shocking service brought 3 starters out and when we’d finished still awaiting the fourth persons starter was then told sorry he couldn’t have it and the wait times for mains was ridiculous

megan, connor & tonia were all super lovely and the food and drinks were great 😊

Food and service was totally amazing at York Clifford Street today. We were served by lovely staff and outstanding engagement and service from Malwino who has served us on previous visits. Nothing ever too much trouble and always goes the extra mile. Great location and a pleasure to visit.

Very nice restaurant, popular for theatre goers to use. Always a nice selection of Italian choices. Staff are always friendly and courteous. Recommend booking as people were turned away on our visit.

We were served by a lovely young lady called Malwina . Extremely pleasant and nothing too much trouble

Lovely food but we waited an hour before we were told the starter had been forgot so it will all be delivered at the same time as our mains. It was very busy and a lot of people looked frustrated. Great idea but need more chefs and more staff. I would still visit again as it's a great deal and food is good.

Great value (apart from the drinks) and great food and great service...probably why it was so busy, which was the only downside

lovely place , great staff overall and amazing place

Sophie was a great waitress. Even helped personalise my drink.

Terrible service. The restaurant was not busy at all. The female member of staff that greeted us as we walked in was on her phone and said I won’t be a sec and carried on doing whatever she was doing on her phone. Tables were left unclean and the staff was nowhere in sight. Not sure what they were doing as it was dead. Not a great experience at all and will not return to any Prezzo again

A big thanks to Emily who was very attentive and looked after us from start to finish 😁

Anna was lovely, the service she gave us was amazing and the recommendations she gave us were fantastic! we will be back again :)

Very busy evening with it being 99p main deal buy the service was amazing and food came out in great time. Our waitress Malwina was exceptional.

Izzy and Connor were very helpful

Calzone very large. King prawn sauce thin. Tiramisu very good.

Lovely food. Warm atmosphere and the staff are absolutely lovely!!

Llegamos a Drift Café después de encontrar Drift - ¡En su totalidad, y estoy tan contento de haberlo hecho! Es la cafetería hermana y tiene el mismo menú, así que no hay compromisos allí. Fui por la pila de hachís chorizo marrón (añadí halloumi porque... ¿por qué no?) y honestamente, era para morirse. Mucho sabor, perfectamente cocinado – solo un delicioso brunch para todo. El ambiente es muy relajado y acogedor, y el personal era muy amable desde el momento en que entramos. Sin duda me sentí atendido, y el servicio hizo la experiencia aún mejor. Si estás en York y Drift - In está lleno, no lo pienses dos veces - dirígete aquí en su lugar. ¡No te lo estás perdiendo en absoluto!

It was a pleasant meal with excellent service

From start to finish this was a fantastic venue , staff and food were amazing . Highly recommend Prezzo

The pizza and pasta were very good, as well as the calamari. There was a big group of us and they did an awesome job serving.

Food was lovely as always but the last 3 times visiting here the service is do slow, they always seem understaffed. Staff are lovely but are always on the go and takes a while to get their attention or the bill, parmesan or a further order of drinks or desserts. But can’t fault the food, always hot, tasty and the kids love it.

good food at reasonable prices.

The staff in York were very welcoming and friendly. They were efficient in taking our order, and the delicious food was served in a timely manner.

La comida era excelente. Desayuné carne y huevos. Estaba muy sabroso y perfectamente cocinado. Mi compañera tenía una pila de miel Halloumi que también dijo que era delicioso. La camarera no era muy atenta, lo que es una pena, ya que ambos habríamos tomado al menos otra ronda de bebidas y gastado más dinero. El restaurante en sí era agradable y tenía un buen ambiente. Si el servicio era mejor hubiera sido un 5 estrellas para mí

Always visit Prezzo when we're in York. Can't fault the food, and through staff are so lovely..

Went to Prezzo, Clifford Walk, York. It's a very inviting space, ambient colours and comfy chairs. The food was excellent : crab and lobster ravioli and you could taste the fish in a creamy bisque. Similarly, the pea and goats cheese ravioli was tasty and generously portioned. The garlic bread fingers were puffy, light and tasty. The cloudy lemonade was refreshing. However, the music is way too loud and obtrusive. The really poor part is the service. I gave 3 stars as our personal waitress was lovely but overall it was a masterclass in sullen faces, walking around not catching the eye of any customer, chatting at the back while people waited. On entry we were given a table, in a restaurant where only 3 tables had guests, with the sun glaring right in my eyes. I asked if we could move and was rudely told, with a flick of the hand, you can have that one in the corner but that's it. Luckily said person then went off duty. What a shame, service let's you down badly Prezzo.

Nice friendly staff with quick service excellent food 👍

Can't fault it. Good food. Came out in good time , which helped having 2 kids. Recc9mend for families

Staff were absolutely brilliant. I have an allergy and the manager was excellent. The food was amazing, too! The 4 for atmosphere is not the fault of the restaurant, but because a customer was rude and dismissive of my disability. Everything else was fantastic.

Lovely pizza and bruschetta! Excellent service! Thank you

We went to celebrate a special birthday and the staff looked after us from start to finish. The food was lovely and we all had such a great time and really made the birthday extra special.

Good food and nice wine, staff were very friendly and polite.

Connor was great, food was great. Highly recommended

Amazing service from Connor Extremely polite, attentive and personable. Will certainly return

We popped in to eat just as we were passing. Staff were on hand to help if needed and attentive but also left you be to enjoy your food. The food was beautiful and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Only two staff serving but they were great, responsive and friendly throughout. The restaurant was full during our stay. Would recommend.

Really nice all round. Probably the best Prezzo that we've been to!

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, food was delicious

All round very good experience we came in half an hour early and they seated us almost immediately and we just came off a boat and we were freezing and they sat us under a heater, our food was delicious came in under 15 mins and let us play card games at the table 👍

This place was well decorated and had such a lively atmosphere. Our servers were really nice and our food arrived pretty quick. They have plenty of gluten free options available here and I really enjoyed my GF pizza. I would definitely recommend for an enjoyable and affordable meal.

Fabulous food and extremely friendly staff

Excellent food. Efficient, fast and very friendly service. Restaurant clean and welcoming

We were kindly gifted a voucher for a three-course meal. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon, we didn’t catch the waitress’ name, but she was delightful and very competent. The food was delicious and atmosphere very nice too.

We visited the York branch and were impressed by their vegetarian gluten intolerant range of meals. The staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The Morello Cherry Cooler mocktail was heavenly!

Libby was our server, she was new but was very good and helpful, would defiantly come again

Megan, who served us, was absolutely outstanding. Despite the restaurant being visibly understaffed. Even when we had to send a meal back, she handled it with warmth and professionalism. What truly stood out was her genuine concern, she noticed one of us hadn’t eaten much (due to sending it back) and proactively offered alternatives to compensate so we wouldn’t go hungry. Her caring and proactive approach is rare to find and made a real difference to our experience.

Yesterday 22nd March, I was sitting at a table in Prezzo; we had booked a table for seven family members. I was very disappointed they couldn't or wouldn't allow us to add an eighth family member to our party. Our party included my 80 y.o. husband and our two adult children - our son, his wife and our two grandsons aged 10 and 8. My daughter made up the seventh and she had called the restaurant, the day before, and asked if we could add another guest. It was her husband (he was unable to join us at the time of booking as he works abroad but came home earlier than expected). Despite pleading with the manager she would not budge. I then rang in the evening but to no avail, my daughter said it was the same person she had spoken to. The reason given was that there were already two large parties booked in. The excuse given was because of the 'pressure on the kitchen', and there was simply no room to add an eight person. A table of eight, apparently, was too much for them to cope with. I suggested we have two tables of four. The manager's response was as they were really busy, we could have one table upstairs and one table downstairs. This was utterly bizarre and a deliberate and stubborn attempt to not to acquiesce to our request. On our arrival we were shown to our table. I could not believe my eyes. There was room for another table at the end of our table. Please see photo, my husband has his back to the camera. The seating is fixed to a wall, and where I was sitting, there was more than enough room for my son-in-law. Plus, there were so many empty tables! These tables were not occupied throughout our two hour stay (3.30 - 5.30)! I took many photos over the two hours, and those tables remained empty. I asked one of the staff members that, if we had walked in with an extra person, would that person have been accommodated, and 'the response was absolutely, 'yes'. I then told the staff member about the suggestion the previous night re 'a table for four upstairs and one downstairs' comment, and he apologised. Shockingly, from my seat, over the two hours, I could see potential customers looking at the menu in the window. When these potential customers entered Prezzo, the lady manager (black jacket, grey trousers) farcically looked on her screen and turned 32 people away!! Yes I counted them all! They were mostly couples, including one young man with a toddler, two ladies with a pram and a toddler (I counted).All these people were turned away by the manager. As we were leaving at 5.30pm and the evening began, a young couple was allowed in, the next couple not, and so on. As evidenced by my photos, the first one shows the end of our table as we were about to leave and all the space available. The table under the window was empty the entire two hours. One of the photos shows my husband's back in the distance and the available space. As an aside, when my daughter and I both rang the previous day to add my son-in-law, the manager's excuse was they already had bookings for 'two large groups' when these these 'large' groups arrived, seven people at 16.45 followed by four people, then as we left at 5.30, another group of 6 arrived. Presumably these were the two large parties the manager had referred to. These two groups did not impact our time there at all as we were leaving. A very mean and petty act in not allowing us to add our son-in-law on a special family occasion. If the manager's response is that it was busy upstairs, then it's a LIE, there was no activity on those stairs for the two hours we were there, our table was alongside the stairs. What a shocking way to run a business. There were five servers downstairs, doing what? Incidentally, we had to wait far too long for our food. Also, I needed to ask a staff member to replenish the toilet tissue in the ladies, and the entire floor was wet! We will never return - our afternoon totally spoilt by this mean act. Some people are just not suited to working in the hospitality industry. Finally, I did have a chat with one of the servers - which I will pass on to head office.

Will defo be coming again, great food

Really friendly staff, food is excellent, and good value.

We visited a Prezzo Italian restaurant in York and the food was excellent, the service impeccable and the atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. We will be going back for sure. Highly recommended. We had Pizza. Chicken and Peppers with a drizzle of honey.
