Paradiso Dolce Salato in York

We visited this cafe for a quick lunch before going to the station and so glad we did. It’s a small space and a small menu (always a good sign) but everything was the best we’d tasted in a long time. The coffee was superb, the ciabatta tasted homemade and we watched as authentic Italian cheese and salami was carved off huge blocks and then served in the most delicious hot panini. It appears to be run by two friendly Italian ladies who are very good at what they do! An assuming little place that packs a huge punch, highly recommend

Wonderful owners Elisa and Marchello spoiled us by making a special espresso with pistachio cream. Delicious! It's a jewel of a place and so welcoming! Very inviting menu and cakes. I hope to stop in when I next visit York.

El trato es cercano y muy amable. El café está delicioso y las porciones son generosas. Una experiencia de lo más recomendable en lo que a cafés en York se refiere . Estuvimos dos días en York y fue el único sitio que repetimos. Recomendable 100%.

The food, friendliness and price make this the best cafe I have been to in York so far after 2 years living here. I have only tried the desserts so I cannot say anything about the savoury food, but the Coppa Meringa was my favourite. The sweetness of everything was good (not too sweet!) and the coffee was nice too.

Decent portions. Came across this place as I had given up trying to find decent I've cream shops where I could sit down. This place is good. Good var3of ice creams an the prices are good too. Worth a visit.

Visited with my husband and adult son, for coffee and apple strudel, which came with a little scoop of their gelato - delicious! All the mini cakes and pastries looked so tempting, I will definitely have to return to sample them! Savouries such as focaccia and filled paninis looked scrumptious too! Staff were very pleasant and attentive.

A small cafe but beautiful food and lovely staff. There’s a review by York Press that tells you all about this cafe - worth a read. I have no hesitation in recommending this place.

Was introduced to this little gem of an Italian cafe by a family member who is a resident in York. The staff was so warm and welcoming. We had the best coffee we’ve ever had , and we visit Italy every year. They also serve small bites , panini’s and pastries, all looked really good. Will definitely visit next time in York.

During a weekend in York with friends, we had lunch here twice because it’s just so fabulous! They have the great combination of lovely staff and beautiful food (including paninis to die for that are light and crispy and moreish, terrific tiramisu and loaves of bread to take away that are simply perfection). Highly recommend!!
