We have eaten here many times. A bustling friendly Italian restaurant with good food a good value. Pizzas in the past have been excellent but this time we went for other options and enjoyed them. Lasagne, spaghetti and aubergine were all very good. Service is friendly. Management clearly wants to provide a good experience. Will come again.

Great food, very reasonably priced. Appears to be family run and it shows in the quality of service and food. House wine, great! We had pizzas and ravioli and they were all super and great value

Had family meal(mam,dad,two daughters 17,11) on New Year's Eve, after reading good reviews on local website. Very surprised to find no chicken pasta dishes on main menu. My chicken/mushroom risotto was the worst I've had in a restaurant-small portion for £12.50,overcooked rice, roughly cut chicken, no herbs, tasted of chicken soup-really bad. Daughter's lasagne was overheated, lacking in beef, tasted like ready meal and in my opinion, should've come with chips and salad. Wife had calamari starter costing £9.50.For me this entitles you to a better garnish/salad than 1 slice each of cucumber, tomato,lemon, a lettuce leaf and a single piece of parsley in a little corner of the plate. Children's meal was a decent Margherita pizza and soft drink. The place feels authentic Italian but it's all about the food and on the whole we were very disappointed.We are not Italian but cook our own Italian food at home and it's much better than this.I feel angry enough to write this review as I don't appreciate paying good money for food that's been cooked without care and thrown on the plate in small amounts. It's why I'm really going off eating out. Polite service from all the staff is not enough at all. Finally, I've also got to say the Men's room was authentic - 1950's style, not clean. Don't enjoy doing this but also, don't like being ripped off. Didn't express my opinion on the night as we had kids with us but Mr chef, your risotto was spazzatura!

We were walking around York looking for somewhere to eat on Saturday night, and came upon this delightful authentic Italian restaurant. Staff very friendly, especially the older gentleman. We order 2 starters to share and a main each, all food came out well presented, piping hot and freshly cooked. We will be back when we next visit York.

The Godliest of cuisine. I could get hit by a bus on the way there and the thought of the dishes on that chalk board would be enough to make me crawl on my hands and knees through that door. Have been about 5 times now, will always recommend to friends, but only the ones I deem worthy of experiencing the best food in York, let alone Italian. Starters, incredible. Mains, even better. Even when you’re inevitably completely stuffed like a happy cat, you can always make room for one of their desserts. The cannolis are a particular fave. Honestly, walk in, close your eyes and point at a random dish on the menu and you will love it. Fondly referred to as “Cash Only”, the only thing that makes this place any better than its menu is the atmosphere and staff. Great relaxed atmosphere in the day, really fun atmosphere in the evening, but you probably won’t notice because you’ll be too busy eating to notice what’s going on around you or bother talking anyone on your table.

I was so disappointed by this restaurant, after reading all the amazing reviews I had such high hopes so I booked to go for my partner’s birthday. It took forever for the server to come over for our drinks order and in the middle of taking it her friends turned up and she stopped to hug them and say hello before finally turning back to us, it took nearly an hour to take our food order and when the food came it was very average. Overcooked calamari, spicy red sauce mussels when we had asked for them in white wine and the plain garlic bread covered in tomato sauce. The mains were fine but not fantastic and just throughout the evening I felt we were not being seen to. We had to flag down servers to get more drinks and had to go up to the bar to get the bill because our server had sat down with her friends and was of no help that evening. I really hate leaving reviews like this but we will definitely not be going back here. Just feels like a waste of time, effort and money for everyone.
