In the current very difficult climate for restaurants my wife and I support local businesses whenever we can. We had not been to Gepettos before would strongly recommend it to others as it is lovely place to visit. The food was extremely good and the service was superb . Covid secure but not oppressive .

We called in by chance for lunch.The service was very good, the quality of food was excellent. I had bread and Olives as a started some good choice of breads Olives what you would expect from Italian olives, my preference is Greek however still enjoyable and tasty. My main was Lasagne, the sauce was nice and thick unlike many where the sauce is far to wet. It cam with a side of fries or salad I had the fries my wife is not a fan however she commented on how good the fries are.

We had a very enjoyable meal at Gepettos of homemade meatballs with linguine and lasagna. Classics done very well. The menu features mainly pasta and pizzas but with a number of daily specials. Good selection of starters too but we kept it simple with some shared bread and olives. Busy on a Wednesday evening so worth booking. Friendly and efficient service with sensible Covid precautions in place. Recommended.

Our trip here evolved from coffee club. We have had the coffee club running for some months now and thought we would make an evening of it. I am glad we did. I can not fault the food or service at all!! Even though we are in tricky times at the moment with the world the atmosphere was great. All staff adhered to the new rules for Covid and wore their masks in and around the restaurant. To start with I had muscles followed by a meat feast calzone. The food was lovely and the portion sizes are very healthy! Staff on the night were great, very warming and made it an enjoyable evening for us all. I would love to come back again. Thank you!

What a cosy, charming spot! A delightful starter of Salmon and Prawn Bruschetta from the specials menu opened up the evening nicely and remains a notable highlight. Would definitely return to bring my better half to sample this! We then moved on to a hearty meat feast calzone, drizzled with a tomato topping for the main. The portion was very generous and packed full of creamy cheese and a selection of meats. My understanding is that the Pizzas are made fresh in the kitchen by the pizza chef and that was evident in the quality! At this point in the journey, we have sample two tasty courses, so it would be rude to deny ourselves a third. Admittedly, I am a fan of lemon Tarts, so when the waiter announced that the specials menu had a lemon tart style desert, I knew I was in trouble! Softly coated with pine nuts and Dusting layer this desert did not disappoint. And in doing so rounded off a splendid evening with friends. Worth making the journey from York to try this spot!A couple of Peroni’s and a glass of the house red to compliment a tasty meal and keep the palate wet were well received.The waiter and the waitress on duty were very attentive and forthcoming with meeting our needs, nothing was too much for them. The music choice was spot on throughout the evening with a couple of beautiful south hits adding to the warm atmosphere. Visitors required to wear face masks upon entering and walking around the restaurant was mostly adhered with. Clear covid-19 safety guidance displayed around the premises and the staff wearing visors made our group feel not only safe but still kept a personable element to the evening with each of us understanding what was expected.

We had been trying to get a table here for the full 2 weeks to date that we had been staying in the area but without success. We were therefore delighted to secure a booking on the phone yesterday for 1900 tonight. We were however then devastated to arrive tonight to find they were fully booked with no record of our booking! What happened in communications we will never know however their reaction was exemplary. They were clearly very busy and were turning people away on the door who had turned up on speck. However they said if we could come back in 45 mins they would find a way to fit us in. We did that and they did. Superb food. Superb Covid controls. Cant recommend them enough.

Is it COVID compliant?The restaurant was pretty full early on and with only x2 staff, who although stretched, were very pleasant and did their best. The tables were not that spaced out and many customers were closer than 1m apart. No details were requested in terms of test and trace, so there could be no future contact in the event of a COVID incident.The food was ok, but not of a high standard, given the prices. For glasses of wine the choice was very restricted (x1!)

We went to Gepettos for dinner on St Valentine’s Day, and had a meal and dining experience that was perfect in every way. This is the closest that I have been to being in Italy but in the UK. I have visited Italy many times. The Portofino pasta dish is consistently good, as is the lasagne. They offer a good wine list and it is quite reasonably priced. The staff are always extremely friendly and welcoming, and this contributes to the lively yet intimate ambiance of this gem of a restaurant. We enjoyed every mouthful of the food there, and commented afterwards that our evening had been memorable, even after 22 years!

Father, son and two young grandchildren made a late reservation for dinner on Sunday 16 February. We had a lovely meal in warm and friendly surroundings, served by staff who were thoroughly professional. With an age range of 64 years, it might have been possible in other venues that at least one of us would have come away dissatisfied. But of course Italian food is made for all ages and we each felt we had been to somewhere we would frequent again. The whitebait and the fish parcel from the specials menu were particularly welcomed. Thank you for a splendid evening.

Went here several times last year and really enjoyed it. Wide menu and nice atmosphere. However the restaurant now appears to have transformed into basically a pizza and pasta place with a handful of pricey ‘specials’ available (one steak, one chicken and a couple of fishy concoctions). Quite a change from what we remembered. Waiter was a bit surly too. Food was OK - not above average and the wine could have done with chilling.

We were staying close by and fancied a change from local pubs so strolled down to here. For a Sunday night, there was a good turn out which made for a cosy atmosphere. Calamari starter was tender (though tricky to add lemon juice from the numerous tiny pieces of lemon ), seafood medley was simply and effective baked in foil, and the pasta verdura was thick and tasty. An Eton mess Sunday was ample for two. Friendly service. Very enjoyable visit all round.

This place has a great atmosphere & the staff are very busy but at the same time attentive. The food is all fresh, tastes amazing & presented well. We enjoyed it so much on the saturday evening that we decided to go back on the Sunday evening as well, we hadn't booked though & felt a little sceptical as to whether they could fit us in & to our delight they managed to squeeze us in.

Our visit to this restaurant started off pretty badly. We booked months in advance as we were getting married in Helmsley the following day and needed somewhere for ourselves & 12 guests to have a family meal. We were told they could only fit us in at 8.45pm. When we arrived the first lady that met the group was very sharp and told us in a rather rude manner that if we hadn't ordered by 9pm we wouldn't be served. It was not the welcome we were hoping for. Thankfully after that the service got a little friendlier, although another waiter did spill beer on mum's dress. The food itself was stunning & the restaurant would have gotten a much higher rating if it hadn't been for that poor start. I appreciate the team may have been tired but they set the arrival time & I'd rather they'd have turned down the booking in the first place if needed.

We were a largish group on a busy Saturday, the restaurant was busy and buzzing. We were not exactly warmly welcomed as much as politely, but I got the impression from our first ‘attendant’ that he thought us a little tiresome (the later service was extremely efficient and friendly). It is not a cheap venue for a market town restaurant, however the local clientele are privy to fine dining in and around Helmsley so...did it stand up? Yes and no, pizzas and calzone went down very well, their version of chicken parmigiana was a little curious, no crisp Parmesan and bread crumb, just chicken fillets in a rather tart tomato sauce with an overwhelming pesto addition, skin on chips bland and dry. We were told that the chef is from Sicily, it would be nice if there were more representations of his native cuisine. Need another visit before I could wholeheartedly recommend.

Having read the response to my April 2019 review I felt that the Gepettos takeaway needed a second chance. To make sure that this was a true test I did not take them up on their offer of free pizza, and the order was placed and collected by my adult son whose voice they do not know. He ordered a Quattro Stagioni and a Vesuvio with a helping of skin-on fries.

Well, that says it all, doesn't it?! We had booked Gepettos for Saturday evening, not knowing what to expect other than it would be very busy. It was but that did not mean that everything did not run smoothly. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to dine there again. Both times the service was friendly and professional, the food was delicious and the Aperol Spritz was perfect. We enjoyed the garlic mushrooms on bruschetta, the Caprese salad and the pepperoni pizza. However, the orecchiette pasta from the specials board with its combination of radicchio, chopped walnuts, spinach and a light cream sauce with a hint of Gorgonzola was divine. Grazie mille!

I have eaten in many high end restaurants and this was the tastiest meal I have EVER had. The pizza based garlic bread was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Italian owners and it shows would HIGHLY recommend!!

What a little gem we found this online when searching where to eat. My husband and I are on a long weekend and we decided to eat here on our last night. The staff were very good the service was excellent, I asked a question and they gave me an answer about their chocolate mint tea. I would recommend this place to anyone that is travelling this way.

We ate here early as we were going to an event later ,so it was fairly quiet. The food was good; the staff pleasant.

We booked a table here for a recent night in Helmsley. Décor was lovely and service efficient and friendly. Food was lovely with special mention to the garlic bread with sausage and the risotto. One negative was the salt & pepper which is contained within the same unit. My husband thought he was putting pepper on his meal (he likes a lot) but it was in fact salt! His fault perhaps, but it spoilt the taste of his meal. Wouldn't put us off returning or recommending though

I had what could be the nicest pizza I've ever had here last week, very efficient waiter service and great atmosphere. The prices are fairly high but what we had was superb and reasonably priced. I will definitely return and recommend.

We visited Helmsley for something to eat one evening and by accident, found out about and came across Gepettos.

Four of us had Starters and Pizzas after a long days travelling. The specials board was very tempting as was the menu as a whole. Nothing was too much trouble for our waiter.

First visit to gepettos but certainly won't be the last. Excellent food and service. The food was so fresh tasting and the pizza dough was so thin. Excellent calzone pizzas. Good choice of wine too. My husband and I had an excellent meal in lovely surroundings. Thank you

Great food let down by poor service. My fiancée and I decided try Gepettos, we didn’t have a booking but they were accepting walk-ins. My frustration was the service was really bad. If they can’t cope with the additional covers then they should turn people away. We waited over 45 minutes for two pizzas, got the wrong wine, no offer of ground pepper/oil. Had to wait a very long time for the bill. Not great.

We were lucky to get a table as we had not booked but we were made very welcome. Italian food cooked very nicely. I had Lasagne my wife had the fish both were lovely. The bruscheta we had to start was soggy and had obviously been prepped too early. The atmosphere was friendly enough. a Little pricey for what it was but most restaurants in Helmsley are the same.

Lovely find in Helmsley. Food which was a freshly made pizza was very tasty. Staff were friendly and service was great.

It's not easy travelling solo at times and perhaps even more difficult to find a good restaurant that doesn't treat you like a persona non grata compared to larger groups of patrons. So I was pleasantly surprised that there was a table available even though I didn't have a reservation. Waitstaff was attentive. Lasagna was delicious and house wine a generous pour. I loved the bistro atmosphere!

The meal was good, price fair in relation to quality. My big gripe was when I asked if the whipped cream on my wife's £6 desert could be changed for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the response was a brisk, no- substitutions not allowed!! A bit ridiculous when the bill comes to £160, and a scoop of ice cream is 20p.

Online booking easily done, very warm welcome. The menu was easy to read and a tempting specials board as well. Service was very prompt and helpful. I was unsure of a wine choice so was even offered a taste to try.Brushetta for me and mussels for him,a wonderful salmon and crayfish pizza for me and steak with parmesan and truffle oil chips for him. All absolutely delicious. We had booked for 6:30 and by 7 the place was full and the atmosphere was great. A real pleasure to eat here.

Stumbled across this restaurant in the day and booked for dinner later that evening. A lovely place - nice atmosphere, very friendly service and delicious food. Traditional dishes done really really well. Feels like a local gem.

On a busy Saturday night, the service was slow, we started with sourdough and labneh & dukkha, then shared their rarebit on a flatbread with a nice sauce, that was the highlight. I followed with cod and monkfish with mussels, the fish was good but the mussels with it were cold. My wife chose lamb rump which was also cold and was undercooked. We cancelled a second booking.
