Delicious food and really friendly service from Dom, who went the extra mile to explain about the menu and what we might like after we were debating a few different food stands. We tried the Arancini, loaded fries and cannolis for dessert - all very tasty. Great vibe at Spark as well. We will be back!

Delicious street food, had the pesto arancini and calamari. Couldn’t fault it. Would definitely recommend for something different, fresh and tasty

I'll start with the positives - I have eaten here a few times - food has always been fine. However, on my last couple of visits to SPARK my table was near this outlet and having seen the lack of hand washing and basic hygiene it has put me off ordering again. Which is a real shame as the food had always been great.

Delicious crudo focaccia. This was a nice find Saturday morning. Next door is an excellent Pilsner. This is a shipping crate food court

I've given a one star review purely due to seeing a staff member petting someone's dog who jumped up on the counter, give it food from the food containers, pet it and then didn't wash his hands and continued handling food... Absolutely gross hygiene protocols. The vegan arancini I had were great but totally puts me off seeing this kind of things. I notice on Tripadvisor there is a review about poor hygiene and no hand washing, so this is not a one off either!

Had the Arancini Melanzane and it was great! The arancini were tasty and delicate with a crisp shell and tasty dipping sauce. Good value for the filling portion. Staff were quick and very kind.

We did not eat as this food outlet in Spark but were sat opposite to eat our food from other vendors. The hygiene standards at this place are appalling. We witnessed one of the staff eating chips off plates before he out the rest of the meal on it, wiping his hands down his top, rubbing his mouth with his hand and putting his hand threw his hair. Not once did he wash his hands.

Lovely vegan foccacia and very nice chips! The focaccia was pretty greasy and could do with a little extra something for an extra kick of flavour, pesto would be a good addition! But would definitely still have it again

Haven’t tried whole menu but it’s pretty far from good Sicilian food, arancini was by far the weakest food in the menu, nowhere near the quality you would get in the streets of Sicily, it’s small and lacks any good filling, opened one expecting a good amount of filing but instead there was barely any minced meat and cheap cheese, for a dish that is a so simple and ingredients easily available anywhere there is no excuse to be so poorly executed. haven’t tried the sandwiches so arancini alone is not worth it.

Not an extensive range - its basically arancini, foccacia (with or without fries), beer and soft drinks. Judging by the reviews I should have gone arancini! Had foccacia and it was tasty and the fries were very good too. Sunny Friday afternoon lunchtime, there were still benches available. Good lunch.

Never tried an arancici before but after seeing the colourful stall and the lovely staff I had try give them a good and in glad I did. I could’ve had many more portions m. My girlfriend had to tear me away from the place. A must visit next time I’m in York.

Visited Tiro with some friends last week. We tried the pistachio arancini which were to die for. We also had focaccia with chicken milanese which was full of flavour. Food is definitely value for money and the Sicilian guys who run it are lovely and very passionate about what they are doing. We'll definitely be back and he highly recommend!

Amazing food, the best arancini I ever tried and I'm huge fun of them. Focaccia milanese just an explosion of taste. Also vegan options. I really recommend that place, York needed something like that.

Visited tiro yesterday with my boyfriend and was blown away not only by the food but the service as well. Best Arancini I’ve ever had and the garlic Mayo combo was to die for. Staff are super friendly, approachable and professional. Will be back for more very soon!

Went Christmas shopping with my mum and tried this place as we are both huge fans of Sicilian food. Great atmosphere in Spark and ordered easily through the app. Both the focaccia and the arancini were amazing, enjoyed the different variety of drinks as well. The guys running this place are really friendly and clearly passionate so a really great place to support, can’t wait to go back!

Can’t generally walk past an arancini without trying one. Had some pretty poor examples in the UK, but this place was the real deal! Really tasty, satisfying & they measure up to arancini I’ve tried in Sicily. If I lived in York I would be...

Big eater, I ordered the milanese focaccia. Amazing, first and only authentic focaccia I have had outside of Italy. Would definitively recommend to everybody popping into sparks. Cannot wait to go back in to try the arancini, they look out of this world. See you...

We had an early evening two course meal here on Thursday 17th October, it was quite simply superb. A really pleasant surprise, just 1 minute walk from our hotel, we will definitely be back on our next trip to York. We shared bruschetta and a bowl of olives which we thought were just nibbles but were plentiful enough for a starter. I then had pollo cacciatore, which was most definitely the best I had ever tasted and my husband had the skewered lamb, again quite something. This chef knows what he is doing.

We were served by Soufyane who was the perfect host - smart, extremely friendly and totally professional. The food (we opted for the two-course lunch) was superb: fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared and served. We had a glass of red wine which complemented the food perfectly.

Unfortunately did not have a great experience here due to mistakes that could have been avoided, we booked a table for a work celebration there was about 20 of us, we preordered based off the menu online. I had preordered penne marinara from their online menu, as I am from England I understood that this was just a tomato pasta sauce, and there is nothing on their online menu to suggest marinara is seafood, however I received a penne pasta with tomato sauce and seafood. My sister is allergic to seafood and I don’t eat it to keep her safe. I told them I didn’t order seafood penne, he became angry and shouted at me that I did, I asked to see the menu when he showed me, that’s when we all realised their online menu is different to the one in the restaurant, he brought me a menu to say marinara is seafood, but this is not mentioned on the online menu we used when we preordered, and unfortunately being English and not being Italian, marinara in England is just tomato garlic sauce not seafood like it is in Italy, my fault for not knowing marinara means seafood in Italian but the manager or owner who was serving us just began shouting at me. A female waitress apologised and moved him away from me and brought me just a tomato penne pasta said sorry again and understood what had happened and fixed the issue without an issue, clearly a mistake on both parts. After I’d eaten it the angry manager came over and asked me how my seafood pasta was sarcastically. 3 or 4 of us preordered the online menu tomato garlic bread to start, and one of us ordered a tomato garlic bread for their main. But when it arrived in the restaurant it was a plain garlic pizza bread, as their menu in their restaurant is different to the one online and doesn’t include tomato. Also despite pre ordering two of the starters were missing and had to be chased up 10 mins or so after we had all eaten our starters and the same happened again for our mains, two were missing and a side of chips which we had to chase up. We spent about £582 and just didn’t feel we had a good experience despite pre ordering and we even brought our pre order on a document with us to make sure we were organised when we got there. Food was excellent however and we had a good time. Just a shame to be shouted at in a restaurant by the manager at what clearly was a genuine mistake, as I don’t speak Italian.

My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing, mainly due to the poor attitude of one of the servers. I came here with friends to celebrate a birthday and wanted to light some birthday candles. The first time I asked a server if they had a lighter, as we wanted to light the candles, she coldly replied, "No," with no further explanation. What confused me was that every table in the restaurant had candles burning, so it was clear that there were lighters available. Later, we asked another server, and she was very friendly and happily brought us a lighter. The other servers were all very helpful and polite, which made it even more frustrating that only one server’s attitude was so negative, affecting our overall dining experience. While the restaurant's ambiance and food were great, the inconsistency in service left me with a poor impression. I hope the management can address this issue and ensure that all customers receive friendly and professional service.

This restaurant was a great find. Food was excellent. We had a mixture of steaks, fish and pasta dishes with a lovely side selection of vegetables. All cooked to perfection. Dessert's were good to. All reasonable priced. Would recommend Silvano's.
