The Old Liquor Store in York

From street level this looks like a shop with a deli bar. But upstairs is a surprisingly old school dark wood dining room. First, we came on a weekday lunch and I think they'd benefit by having a specific lunch menu. They don't, so we were left with the general a la carte. It's not the cheapest, but they do go for the quality fresh homemade pasta angle (no pizza here!). The seafood is good too. The staff are Italian, you get "prego" on delivery of your items and the food is good. The food wipes the floor with Delrios for instance, which seems to be the central York Italian with the best online ratings. Enjoyed the meal, though the coffee was a bit disappointing.

Lovely place, food was of excellent quality. Would highly recommend.

What a great little find, we were very lucky to get a table without a reservation, popular little place. We had some sharing breads oil/balsamic dip, carbonara and chicken wings with chips/salad. All delicious and we finished off with some gelato to take away.

Always book here whenever we are in York. The food is amazing and it has a real buzzy atmosphere, which we love. This time we had the arancini off the specials board then a pizza and risotto, all faultless. House wine delicious too. It’s a running joke that we always get seated close to the toilet but I am not bothered here as everything else makes up for it! Pay it a visit it won’t disappoint!!

We loved the new place! The food and service were fantastic. A special thank you to Grace for looking after us - we'll be back.
