Moutreys in Scarborough

Cosy Italian with great food and atmosphere. Been years since I last visited, and it was as good today as it was then. Thanks

First time in Whitby and I’ve got to say we loved this restaurant very friendly staff great and well priced we would highly recommend

Siempre comemos aquí cuando nos alojamos en Whitby, la comida nunca decepciona. Muy buen servicio y comida fabulosa, mi pizza de hongos estaba deliciosa como siempre.

Qué noche tan encantadora aquí. Comida de pan de ajo con queso de cabra enorme y tan sabroso. Mejor queso macarrones y lasaña. Comida tan buena que visitamos dos veces en una semana

La comida y el ambiente era genial, sin embargo, debido a que la cocina estaba en el restaurante con lo que ahora parece ser ventiladores extractores insuficientes dejaron la puerta principal abierta toda la noche y una puerta lateral de salida de fuego abierta que estaba junto a nuestra mesa. Estábamos en consecuencia frío en una noche de noviembre. Cerramos la puerta un par de veces solo para que el personal volviera a abrir para “dejar salir el humo”. Tener dos puertas abiertas a un restaurante en una noche de noviembre no es la mejor experiencia. Cuando llegó la factura nos sorprendió que nos hubieran cobrado £ 1 por mayonesa y £ 1 por mostaza. Observando que estábamos pagando £ 30 por un filete, el cargo adicional por los condimentos parece mezquino y no la norma de la industria y más alineado con un cargo de una comida para llevar.

This place is amazing, staff so helpful and friendly. The food is great and cooked fresh, you can see the chef making your meal. Had a plain and simple margarita but my mouth is still watering at the thought of it so yummy. Will be making a bee line here next time we're in whitby.

Love this Italian and always visit when staying in Whitby, I have been several times now, and the food is just deliciously outstanding, from lasagna spaghetti Bolognese seafood pasta, pizzas , service very good friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit here for a great dining experience 🙂

Had an evening meal last night. The staff were very helpful and the was delicious. Garlic bread, amazing. Chorizo burger, so tasty Lasagne, meaty and the pasty was soft and silky. We will definitely be returning

Really looked after by the staff,the food was 1st class,generous portions,especially the pasta dishes,this is the second time we have eaten here,we learned from the first visit that the pasta dish mains are plenty for two and they were happy to let us share,we will certainly visit again the next time we are in whitby

Amazing meal. Turned up on a busy Friday evening and they managed to fit us in. Asked for something that was not on the menu and the chef went out of his way to accommodate this and it was extremely delicious. Exceptional service and welcoming staff. Great quality price to top it off. The chef really cared about the customers experience.

Great food excellent friendly service

Just don't waste your time , most disappointing despite the efforts of the staff

First visit. Really nice inside, superb food. My wife had roast salmon with veg, I had king prawn and anchovy pizza with chilli and far, by far, the nicest pizza I've ever had. The staff were very pleasant and bubbly. When we walked in and approached the kitchen to ask for a table, the really friendly waitress, who dealt with us, was spoken to appallingly by the owner, we were genuinely stunned by how the young lady was spoken to. Apart from that, could not fault anything, the starter, main course and desert was excellent quality. Will definitely be going back next time we're in Whitby

Lovely food but more amazing staff, the two girls waiting on were polite and attentive throughout, made a 5 year olds birthday very happy. Both girls friendly, knew what they were doing and checked in on us at all time, wish everywhere had staff like this! food was very tasty and the girls loved their desert. would definitely recommend for the food and lovely waiting on staff

Do not book this restaurant, we had a table booked for 12 people last night for a 70th birthday, we arrived and it was closed ! No phone call or email to advise us that it was closed !!! Terrible

On a Friday evening, without a reservation, we were lucky to get the last available table. The food, in my case the spicy meatballs, was very good - hot enough, without breaking onto a sweat. The ladies running the joint were all very friendly and talkative, making us feel at home. Recommended, but probably best to book in advance.

Lovely food at this restaurant last night. But best of all was the service we received from the servers and the chef who came out to discuss the gluten free options as my daughter is celiac. We felt so confident eating there as they really took time to advise us and the food was all delicious. The chef made a lovely bruschetta adapted with gluten free bread which my daughter really enjoyed. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.

We always book Moutreys and it’s never disappointed us yet ! It is a very authentic place lovely atmosphere. Meal was great portion sizes excellent! Good wine list . Staff very attentive and polite . Prices were thought were reasonable. Tip - definitely book otherwise you won’t get in at peak times . Will be returning!

Had a great meal with 5 mates in Moutreys - excellent food, large portions, prompt but relaxed service and a nice ambiance - would certainly return.

Called in for a pre wedding meal. Although they were very attentive. The food was excellent aswell 👌

Took 45 minutes to be served. Food was overpriced, bland and tasteless. Young girls serving were pleasant.

We had such a lovely meal here on Saturday night. We briefly met the owner of Moutreys having breakfast earlier that day. We didn't know however, until we walked in for our reservation & he recognised us. Very lovely owner who mentioned they were 3x staff members down. It didn't seem that way though! We ordered the chicken wings to start and they were lovely, really decent size and came with 3x dips. We had pepperoni pizza and carbonara for our mains and tasted incredible. We had the tiramisu for dessert and it was probably the best we'd ever had! Absolutely delicious. The staff were so lovely & attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We sat upstairs and had a great view of the kitchen and restaurant. Would highly recommend Moutreys!

Food was amazing. They were a little short on staff but the made up for it with being extra helpful and worked so hard. Genuine Italian menu. Nothing was too much trouble including gluten free recommendations and also cooking up a special with no onions and garlic for one of our party. Would thoroughly recommend. Amazing place and would go again if we cam back.

Excellent food, FABULOUS pizza, lovely staff. Reasonable prices. Fun place. All in all a great choice.

Clearly using very poor pizza dough and poor quality ingredients. Total waste of a wood fired oven. Avoid.

Huge pizzas from a huge wood fired oven. Great atmosphere and service. Just been back and it's still just as good. Enormous calzone this time, which was delicious. Crispy and gooey. Love it.

Seated on the mezzanine. Really hot even with the a/c on. Bread and oil starter was a joke. One tiny bread loaf just plonked on a plate. Both of the pasta main courses were way too big and tasteless. Shame because it's got a good atmosphere.

Great food, generous portions. Refused as walk-in but immediately booked online and returned 20 minutes later without problem! Is very hot, due to pizza oven. Open kitchen, guys working hard to create fab food.

We had a great evening here. The staff were attentive and friendly, the pizza was really tasty and my son enjoyed watching them make it. Great location and atmosphere. Will go again.

Amazing place! The food was delicious, the staff were fantastic. The restaurant itself has a lovely vibe. Highly recommend!!!! Booking advised.

Food and staff absolutely spot on. We didn't book and we fell lucky as it became so busy as we were leaving. The food was honestly out of this world. The only downside is that it is so so hot in there and the chairs hurt your bum.

We all ate pizzas and they were delicious and served quickly. Service was great with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A little disappointing. We have been going for years and have always had great food and exceptional service. But tonight they couldn’t really be bothered. We’d booked to eat early at 5.30pm and there were no other diners; the staff were all standing around chatting. My pasta marinara was as great as ever and for my wife I’d asked for sea bass which they had. But as usual she really didn’t want all the vegetables in the mix, just some of them and they couldn’t do it. Maybe they are pre mixed and packed up/frozen weeks ahead in a warehouse somewhere but whatever, we were just disappointed and won’t be going again if they can’t now be bothered. Nothing stays the same, but there’s plenty of choice in Whitby.

Superb meal, great service by our waitress, Amy.

Visited for a meal with my husband on a Friday night. The food was lovely but unfortunately we had to ask for it to be boxed up to take away as the mezzanine was unbearably hot. So stifling you could barely breathe. Other customers were saying the same thing. They really need to invest in a decent air conditioning unit. The staff were lovely and very apologetic. Such a shame as the food really is good!!

What a fantastic meal we had! From our warm welcome when we arrived, to our Waitress, Amy, who was a real credit to the restaurant. My wife ordered the Carbonara and I had the Pollo Arribiata. The portion size was epic, we could easily have ordered 1 meal and shared it! Both meals were delicious. Would absolutely recommend booking a table if you are in the Whitby area!

An enjoyable meal with the best and lightest side of garlic bread ever. Big portions but a takeaway box is available if nèeded

Delicious dinner for two, would reccomended a visit. We had amazing chicken wings to start and the Seabass main was sensational. We will be back to try a pizza and the the dessert I couldn't fit in this time.

Lovely food and lovely staff, parking can be a nightmare so make sure you plan your visit and get parked early or somewhere further away so you have time to walk in. Avoid sitting next to the pizza oven if possible otherwise it will be you who bakes. Would definitely recommend!

Dining Area: Was seated on the mezzanine, which is an area the size of a garden shed with 4 small tables. It was so uncomfortably warm up there that the staff had put a portable AC unit up there, which proceeded to turn off every 20 minutes. Me and my partner were both dripping with sweat and eventually had to head down and pay up early just to leave for some fresh air. Food: Our two pasta dishes took 50 minutes to arrive. The actual food was tasty and a decent portion size. I went for the spicy meatball with linguini dish which was delicious, but in hindsight, if I'd have known about the warmth on the mezzanine, I'd have ordered something else as it was hard to stomach the heat of the dish alongside the physical heat of the restaurant. Service: The staff were very friendly but obviously very run off their feet. Twice I had to chase up a coke I ordered 20 minutes prior. Overheard one of the staff mentioning how they divide the dining area up among 3 or so waitresses usually, but tonight one was working all three! Overall I would go back. £50 for 2 people (3 main dishes and 3 drinks) wasn't a bad price. But next time I wouldn't sit upstairs, and I would hope the staffing would be a bit better.

Great food! We were absolutely stuffed. Definitely want to come back

Went as a walk in, they refused service unless we gave them our phone number - apparently in case there is a fire.

Garlic bread with goats cheese and red onion is a must have! Friendly staff, great service.

Lovely pizza - service from Amy and Emily was impeccable, could not ask for better: friendly, warm and knowledgeable!

The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely and the staff were super friendly but the food was a huge let down. The lasagne was tasteless and lacked the tomato based sauce. It was dominated with béchamel so the balance wasn’t right. The pasta with meatballs was also lacking flavour and the tomato based sauce was bland and tasteless. The pasta was also overcooked. It’s sad because the staff were lovely and the place felt welcoming.

We have been coming here for 20 years and will continue to do so. There is a reason this restaurant is still in business. It's good. Yes service was slow last night but there was a post explaining they were missing staff. Absolutely no complaints with the food. The girls waiting on were very busy but always polite and eager to help

I had the Lasagna although it was beautiful I would have preferred a smaller portion with salad or garlic bread. A dish on its own was rather boring. My Hubby had the goats cheese burger it was fabulous .🥰

Superb food as always, steak cooked to perfection.cant fault this restaurant at all.staff were excellent 👍

Great staff, great food, great place.

Food was brilliant what an experiance

We were reccomended this place went early 5 ish so was quiet when we got there, waited a while it was very cold in the building had to put coat back on. Pizzas had no taste and were very burnt round edges couldnt eat those bits. The waitress did ask if we wanted more doing but didnt have time to wait for more doing and others that came out looked similar anyway. Pasta dish was okay not the best taste wise.

Another nice and cosy place in whitby to dine if you prefer pasta or pizza rather than just fish.

Very helpful and friendly waiting staff but food somewhere between poor and average. An hour's wait for a meal isn't beyond good news if the food is excellent but sadly it is lacking. A plain burger that looked and tasted uncooked with an odd flavour and the bun couldn't be swallowed. The boy is currently eating us out of house and home (he's 14) and he left 1/3 of his carbonara - ordinarily his favourite meal. Ceasar salad was acceptable, one of the specials (cod) was enjoyed and the lasagna was poor. Don't get your hopes up if you book a table.

Really good selection of Italian food, the pastas are really good and very good portions. Reservation needed.

Had wings to start which were good, but the Carbonara was very disappointing. The grated "parmesan" was lumpy so was obviously grated then kept in the fridge for ages. The sauce was bland, beige and runny. Was nothing like proper Carbonara, definitely not recommended.

No idea on how it was, as we booked a table for a Saturday evening, but had a phone call saying both cooks had gone down with an illness.... What's the chances of 'both' going down? Just hope it wasn't something they ate 😳... A few disappointed people, that afternoon/evening.... Had a large group trying to get access, as we walked past, so I informed them about what had happened. Goth weekend, so would have been busy....

The restaurant was freezing we had to eat in our coats. Poor service ,tasteless lasagne, the pork with roast potatoes was very underwhelming. Flat white coffee was with out coffee. Not a good experience

Great food and atmosphere. Helpful and efficient staff.

The worst food ever, the lasagna was basically white sauce, and the garlic bread was like a cracker. Terrible wouldn’t recommend.

This was an OK experience. Went early evening . Decor is in need of refreshing. Steak was good but only had one! I had pizza which was OK. Can't sat anything bad about the place just not as good as our many previous visits

We won't be going back here again service was terrible they got wrong with the orders , my husband had a pizza that was ok but he had eaten it before mine came I had seafood pasta it tasted horrible couldn't eat it so I told the waitress and she she wouldn't charge for it

The food here is really tasty. The service and ambience are great. Would certainly come back here!

5 of us came here for a ladies meal out. Between us we had 3 different meals with a couple of us ordering the same thing. All meals were simply delicious. Portion sizes are generous. The hand cut chips gorgeous and service and drinks selection really good too. As well as the menu choice there are lots of specials to choose from also. Highly recommend.

Lovely place, nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely. The food lets this place down. Although it looks lovely and it’s really hot the lasagna lacks flavour. There’s no tomato based sauce and no herbs in the sauce. Was more like having cottage pie mix with pasta. The portions are huge, so if you like big portions then perhaps this is the place for you.

Wow! Quirky, eclectic, fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, generous portions, beautifully cooked and tasty food, honest, unpretentious and very reasonably priced. Plenty of vegetarian choices. Attentive staff too...I dropped my fork on the floor and the waitress came over with a new one for me in a really subtle and unobtrusive way. We've been to Whitby a half dozen times before and haven't noticed this place before but, now that we have, it will be a must-visit for next time. Thank you for a fantastic evening 😁

1st visit to Whitby looking for a place to eat went in Moutreys couldn't fault this place lovely food generous portions would highly recommend 😋

Great pizza cooked in a wood fired oven, i love the intimacy and charm of the restaurant, it feels authentic and unless you look outside, you could easily believe that you were sat in a restaurant in Italy.

The four of us had a lovely meal on New year's Eve . Everything was just perfect. The food and service was Top Class.

We went early, so was quiet, service good, food 2x Calzone unfortunately was bland, too much goats cheese, didn't taste of much, needed a bit of spice,

Had a lovely meal, meal sizes are quite large so definitely good value for money. Not expensive at all. Only thing I would say is its abit crammed, but apart from that was a lovely new years eve meal

Excellent food for our 10th wedding anniversary

Lovely restaurant, i have never had garlic bread as delicious as it was here , and even the bread that came with the olives was superb, our mains were fabulous as well, lovely friendly staff , 100% worth a visit

The pizzas were really soggy in the middle and just not great! Spaghetti bolognese was plentiful but bland. The service was great but really let down by the kitchen. I'm trying to be positive but just not Italian food as I know it.

Lovely atmosphere and we thought the food was great. I had chicken and mushroom fusilli which was tasty and massive. My husband had lasagna which he said was delicious - also massive. Friendly staff.

Good value food , good portions . The inside decoration is starting to look a bit tired .

The food was lovely and you got plenty of it. The portions are huge. I'm not complaining as I love my food 😋. Definitely worth a visit and I would book a table so you aren't disappointed if there is no room.

It was alright but the pizza especially magreta was way to tomatoey for my liking but everything else was good kind staff and for them being short staffed food times were quite quick and the steak and brownie were really nice

Decent service, though the place itself could do with some TLC. None of our party - two adults and two kids - were especially enamoured with our main courses but the starters and dessert were all polished off.

The pizza were excellent, the girls serving behind the bar and waitresses were very good,regarding the service I booked a table told there was only 1 table for 2 left right next to the door within 20mins of being seated two other couples arrived who hadn't booked and were given tables in the restaurant I suggest the table near the door be kept for walk in customers not one's who can actually be bothered to book

The best pizzas we have ever tasted. The flavours were amazing, the fresh vegetables used were fantastic and they don't hold back on toppings. If I come back to Whitby I'm heading straight here for dinner

When we mentioned where we going to our taxi driver he said good luck with that.... We were seated in the centre of the restaurant with a view out to some kind of yard alley/way with drains and all sorts of rubbish. It was also fairly chilly we asked for the door to be closed and were told it wasnt possible as the kitchen got too hot. We then asked to move tables and were told that was not possible as they were booked later in the evening. Food was average at best and service needs attention we asked 3 times for the bill then had to ask to actually pay. we called someone over who kindly brought the card machine. As we put our coats on to leave the other waitress rather loudly asked 'excuse me but have you paid'. Very unprofessional. We would also say the restaurant had very little kerb appeal unlike some other places in the town and was fairly shabby inside with peeling wallpaper.

Friends recommended this as their favourite place to eat in Whitby, so glad they did! We are their last night I had the pork steak special and my son had the Margherita pizza both were absolutely lovely, freshly prepared to order. My son had the elderflower and mint sorbet with some vanilla ice cream, he said it was really nice too. The waitress greeted us , we were the first people to arrive after they had opened so she was most helpful getting us a table on the mezzanine which allowed my son with autism to not feel he was overwhelmed. All the staff were polite and seeing their positive interaction and teamwork as they prepared the food was a joy. We live 25 miles away and will deffo be back soon 🙏🙏

We booked for a wedding anniversary, table was for 7.30, we were running 7 mins late due to taxi, when we walked in the girl behind the counter said “I’m ringing you your late” very abrupt and rude, we then got shown to a table underneath some stairs I couldn’t stand up we couldn’t see anything and there was plenty of empty tables, we asked to be moved they didn’t want to do this and had to double check! We were told we could only sit on the table next to where we were as the others where already booked, we moved across and within 30 secs were asked what we wanted to eat I said we haven’t even got a drink or looked at the menu? We ordered a drink and within another 2mons they were back “have you decided yet?” At this point I said I won’t be eating just have this drink and go please can we have the bill, they said you can’t just get a drink you have to eat I said well you either charge me or you don’t, they brought the bill, I just felt from the minute we walked in they where so rude and rushing us no politeness or anything, in an environment like this customer service is a must, definitely will not be back or recommending again serious staff training is needed here

Perfect evening, fantastic food, efficient staff (very busy), great puddings. I had the lasagne, best I ve had anywhere, and lemon brûlée with cappuccino ice cream. Mmmmmm lush. 👍👍👍

We booked a table on the mezzanine and it was everything you'd expect. Private, romantic and complete. Fantastic service from the staff and awesome food to complete.

Well we were lucky enough to have won a £20 voucher from Moutrey’s last month in the draw, and tonight we visited again 😋😋😋 another treat, as always!! A great surprise to have the lovely Estella as our very attentive waitress! The restaurant was buzzing as usual, the service was spot-on, and the food was simply top class!! We both had pizza tonight and those pizza bases were just superb - thin, crispy and melt-in-the-mouth gorgeous! The house sauvignon blanc was the perfect accompaniment and represented really great value. Many thanks to Gary and his team once again for a great night 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I ordered bolognaise pizza however the bolognaise was served separately- I’ve never known this & don’t understand why when I’ve ordered a bolognaise pizza why it wouldn’t come on the pizza - very salty food too

Worst it’s ever been asked them to close the door because I felt like I was sitting in the back garden on a snowy evening + Aircon was on full blast to they replied saying said they never close the door cause it’s a “fire exit” which hasn’t been there open the last 15 times I’ve gone.plus a woman chef was on her phone, counted 7 times one point run out of the restaurant to talk on the phone which she never washed her hands on her return all seven time .lasagna had big chunks of dried meat in. Definitely won’t be back on the positive the trainee waitress was lovely and hope she gets a better job elsewhere. Thank you for reading Would’ve had a better meal at Wetherspoons.

Lovely atmospheric Italian Great menu,lots of choices. I went for the Vegetable Calzone and it was amazing- nice touch also to have green olives inside . Highly recommended ,but do book online to guarantee a table. Staff are superb too.

Beth was amazing. Very informative and friendly. Lighting over our (top left) corner was over bright (others had told us that prior to our visit). But, Beth was lovely, friendly and very informative and she made our night.

Pizzas were ok, unfortunately my daughter found her Carbonara quite bland, which other reviewers have mentioned. Lacked seasoning, and didn’t taste as if it had been cooked with the pancetta. It does say it’s made with cream which really isn’t a traditional Italian way if cooking carbonara but it just needed more taste. Pizzas were ok, it was also a pretty warm day (well warm for September) we were seated in the mezzanine but everyone was fanning themselves, the restaurant was soooo warm! It was actually uncomfortable. They do have an open pizza oven but so do other Italians, maybe they need some better air con. Worth mentioning that the service was fabulous and our young waitress was excellent. Ok if you’re going for pizza perhaps the pastas need some attention. I did notice the couple on the table next to us seasoning their baked pasta dishes.

the best thing about this meal unfortunately was the statues in the toilets , the decor was in need of some TLC and the food was really not worth the price we paid. Pizza base was good. Clearly profiting off whitby holiday makers .

Wonderful food, fantastic portions, great staff, very enjoyable, will definitely revisit. Highly recommended 👌

A must for us on our trips to Whitby. Never disappoints, we'll cooked food, great staff, wonderful atmosphere. A really great night out.

Once again a wonderful evening at Moutreys. Been several times and the food and service is always spot on. Everything is freshly cooked and comes piping hot and the lemon creme brulee was amazing too. First time visit for our friend's and they loved it too. As with most businesses in hospitality at the moment they were short staffed but you would never had known and the staff who were there were polite, friendly and lovely. Congratulations to you all on such a wonderful place ❤️

All of us ordered pizza. I think these were the best pizzas two of us have ever had. We did swap some of the toppings and after some initial confusion on ordering, they got it absolutely right. They tasted amazing and were huge. There was definitely no skimping on toppings or flavour. Absolutely delicious 😋. One of us did order a calzone which unfortunately they weren't keen on because the base had become very soggy, which is a real shame because the other pizzas were gorgeous.

Fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere. Sitting upstairs allows a great view into the open-plan kitchen. Open fire allows for amazing pizzas 🍕

Lovely little spot, five of us went. The place isn’t big and we felt we were a little stuck in a tight corner. Food was average at best a d service quite slow. Maybe we experienced a poor night for them but wouldn’t rush back

Both my partner and I left the restaurant and got food poisoning. If I could put 0 stars I would. Absolutely horrible food, cannelloni swimming in a watery sauce of ricotta and tomato which made us sick afterwards. Extremely hot place, was boiling by the time I sat on our table. Do not go.

Love this place! Great service, ambience and food. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and evening.
