Toto's in York

So this restaurant doesn't supposably open on a Tuesday, I was asked by friends to book it on a Tuesday before a show at the Barbican we were seeing, I tried by phoning them to be told, they didn't open on a Tuesday, yet when we past it going to see the show, it was open and I looked like a Pratt in front of my friends, get your act together!!!

Excellent pizza, friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended.

Been to all the Italian restaurants in york,over the years and we think this is the best restaurant in york by in country mile ,

Great experience for my daughter and me

Lovely atmosphere, great food at a very reasonable price. The pizzas are the best in York! Highly recommend and you always need to book. We can’t wait to visit again!

We ended up here by chance... but... it's a real piece of Italy here in York created by a real Yorker. Everything is perfect: from the environment to the dishes, pizza, pasta... everything... it's difficult for me to speak well of Italian restaurants around the world... anyway... An English chain that claims to be Italian could learn many things from them… Compliments !

Good food at a fair price with welcoming staff

We were recommended Toto's and it did not disappoint! Great customer service. Friendly staff. Delicious food!

Superb food the owner opened on a day they are normally closed the food was excellent and the service was quick would highly recommend

We went for a meal before going to a comedy show at the York Barbican so expected the restaurant to be busy, it wasn't when we arrived but we was so glad we booked as it became very busy very quickly. The service did not falter though and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant

A pleasant UK Italian with a tight menu with the favourites.

Brilliant, tastly and good value family-run Italian 👌

Wow what a gem 2 of us had pizza beat ever and two had lasagne piping hot and superb Staff were friendly and efficient Reasonable pricing If you are in York give it a try you will not be disappointed They opened on a Tuesday especially

Great food served by friendly professional staff.

We had a fantastic time. The food was delicious. The staff are very welcoming and nice. We definitely will return again. High recommended .

On a weekend in York, we saw this restaurant and I knew it was good when we could see it full at 6.30 on a random Sunday evening. Booked a table for later and was not disappointed. Authentic Italian meals to suit the varied tastes of my family, vegetarian, seafood and meat eaters. Service was friendly and fast. Totally recommended, but book your table in advance so you don't miss out

Excellent food, excellent service. Recommended by one of the staff at the Barbican and everything we ate was superb. Staff very friendly too. Will be back soon

First time going but liked it how it's a small run family restaurant food was amazing when we are back in York we will be going back

Called in while passing by, the food was of excellent quality and reasonably priced. Would recommend and I'd definitely go again when in the area.

Fabulous italian restaurant found by chance, and we really enjoyed it. Great service, super friendly staff. Bruschetta was excellent and so fresh. Calamari was perfectly cooked, spaghetti carbonara was one of the best I've had in a long time. 5 *****, would recommend and will definitely go back

Lovely restaurant. Food was fantastic and a warm welcome from the staff. Highly recommended. Relaxed atmosphere and varied menu.

The staff couldn't be more helpful from start to finish - we turned up without a reservation and were looked after despite the fact that the restaurant was full. The room itself was clean and well set out, a really nice atmosphere. The main thing obviously is the food, in short - this is the best pizza I have ever had! If you are in York and fancy an Italian meal then seek out Totos and you will not be disappointed!

Friendly restaurant with excellent food.

Had a really delicious meal last night. I haven't been for years but always remembered having a great meal here several years ago and decided to book last night hoping it was just as good and it did not disappoint! I will not leave it as long to go back next time!

We visited for a family meal during our holidays celebrations for the MILs 60th birthday. The food was really good and very attentive staff! The tiramisu was a stand out for sure!

Still THE BEST garlic pizza bread and homemade tiramasu we've EVER had!

Busy Italian restaurant.with a great buzz. Excellent food.and service.

Excellent food and service I had the sirloin steak my Wife and Son had Chefs special pizza and garlic bread, we then had Vanilla cheesecake which was delicious will visit again next time we’re here from Manchester.

Excellent food, I had sirloin, my Wife and Son had chefs special pizza and garlic bread then we had vanilla cheesecake delicious , all good sized portions excellent service aswell

As we were going to a concert at the Barbican, we decided to see if this restaurant could accommodate us for a meal at 6pm. We were advised by one of the waiters that it was fully booked, but then the owner(?) told us she could fit us in at 6.45pm. We went back to our hotel for a short time and then returned. It was a lovely relaxed restaurant with friendly staff. We ordered two pizzas to share and a bottle of wine. For York, the prices were very reasonable. The pizzas had a thin, crispy base and the toppings were perfectly proportioned and the tomato sauce was delicious. The Montepulciano wine was reasonably priced and was good. We were served in good time leaving at the right time for the concert.

Fith time I've been always amazing!

Relaxed friendly atmosphere, staff very pleasant, food was delicious. A lovely little restaurant with lots of Italian vibes 😋

Excellent food with very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic restaurant and ideal if you're attending an event at the Barbican. Wonderful staff and the food was amazing.

Loved the food, friendly atmosphere and good service.

Great little restaurant. Proper quality 'real' Italian food. The Tiramisu is a must have

Very cold no heating but awesome food

Visited in November 2023. Delicious food, most unique garlic bread, partner said best he’s ever had!! Lovely service. Booked last minute and fitted us in that evening. Staff very attentive.

Found this place totally by accident. Visiting York for a concert at the Barbican. Absolutely superb. All four of us enjoyed the food. Service was spot on and the staff friendly and welcoming. So wish we lived closer. (We are from Devon and Lincolnshire) would return ro York just to eat here, it was that good.

Out of Towners looking for a nice place to eat, Booked a table for Six, absolutely fantastic food, staff are brilliant too, top quality Italian restaurant, difficult to find places like this now. Every place has them you have to find them, highly recommend and will be going here again when we visit York. Thanks for a great experience

Been wanting to try here for a long time. Loved it, great service, food and wine. It’s also a great cosy venue. Love it 🇮🇹 👍

I can’t believe I haven’t been here before! Lovely cosy atmosphere with friendly staff and quick service, plus really tasty Italian food made the proper way. Don’t skip on the desserts too - they’re top notch. Will definitely come back again

Went at 5pm Friday before Xmas , before concert at barbican. Food very good service excellent in spite of it being very busy. We'll worth a visit if going to barbican

Please go and find this little gem tucked just out of the way . It's way above the chain restaurant offering in York center. The food is excellent and well priced

My 1st time here but our daughters 4th. (We don't l8ve 8n York unfortunately). All 6 of us enjoyed our food. Really tasty and great choice. Good service and excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend. Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous New Year to all the staff.

Wonderful place. Fantastic service from family run restaurant. I had a bruschetta for starter and it was the best I have ever had. Even better than one I had in Italy. Eccellente 👌

Just had the most fantastic meal here. We hadn't booked, but they managed to find us a table on a busy Friday evening. The food was excellent, and the service was so friendly and efficient.

Lovely atmospheric restaurant. Portions are a little light for my liking, but I guess that is nouvelle cuisine for you!

So happy I finally booked dinner here. Lovely, cosy atmosphere. Staff and even other diners very friendly. Food was really tasty and not overly expensive. I lived in Italy for 17 years, so I can be very picky about authentic Italian food. It really does hit the spot. Would definitely recommend..... I'll be back soon 😊

It was ok, got my order wrong twice and the pizzas were nothing special. Nice atmosphere and decor inside. Shame the food wasn’t amazing otherwise I would have gone back again.

Can highly recommend this restaurant, and upon our return to York, we would definitely book a table. Ideally situated if attending the Barbican.

One of our party of 3 was Dairy free. She managed to get salmon tagliatelle without the cream in the sauce. However we were going to have dessert and we thought she would be ok with lemon sorbet and was told no desserts were available as dairy free do she asked for coffee with oat milk to be told she would have to have her coffee black. The food we had was nice but it is not acceptable that dairy free and gluten free options were not on the menu

Lovely meal, food portions very good, staff very attentive. We couldn’t finish meal and we’re able to take away with us, the best garlic bread we’ve ever had, very quirky inside. Lush atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be back next time visiting York.

Cool little Italian. Lots of character and good food. Better to book it's only small. Parking nearby can be tricky. But there are plenty of carparks within 5 to 10mins walk.

Totally impressed, going to York just for another visit

A slightly old fashioned but lovely Italian restaurant serving good authentic food. Although, it's not in the centre it's worth a detour to avoid the numerous chain restaurants that you find everywhere. The staff were excellent and I suspect the restaurant is family run. It's not fine dining but it serves good, honest food. The house wine was good too.

Really lovely date night...will be back.

Didn't book, and it was Friday but we were given a table for two quickly, staff are lovely and helpful, the food is delicious, prices quite reasonable for food cooked to a high standard as this , we loved it!

Really really good Italian. Found it as a last minute stop before seeing a show at York Barbican and the food was amazing. All freshly cooked and really full of flavour and high quality ingredients. The service was very fast and friendly. Better than any other Italian I have had in a long time!

Great food definitely worth a visit. The staff is friendly, service is good

Needed somewhere around 8pm on a Friday night as we had just finished moving our daughter to a new flat in the city centre and wasn't hopeful the four of us would get in, but a table was provided and our drinks order was taken quickly with food not long afterwards. The restaurant was busy with a lovely atmosphere, plenty of staff who were attentive but not over the top. The food was delicious! Served hot and my steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals - margerhita pizza, marinara pasta, sea bass and steak! Desserts were to die for! Very reasonably priced given the location, parking nearby just behind the barbican. We enjoyed it so much, we are hoping to book for my OHs 60th birthday as it's worth the drive from Leeds and Sheffield.

Came here with a large party, lovely place and really nice food.

Didn't intend to eat here but really pleased we did. Food was very good. Price was very reasonable We had starter and pasta for main and thought it was a solid place to est. I would recommend this, especially if you are near the barbican.

Amazing every time! We are local and this is our favourite place to come. The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive and genuinely care about your experience. The food is the best around, quality, homemade and fresh. We always look forward to visiting!

Visit Totos on our yearly trip to York. Food as good as ever. Staff efficient. Pleasent experience. Thanks

Lovely restaurant with very authentic food and reasonably priced.

Italian restaurant Toto's is a excellent choice for anyone loving Italian dishes, the staff are efficient and friendly the food is amazing, prices are ok, and in a area accommodating three great proper pubs, the Masons Arms, the Phoenix and the Seahorse, the York Barbican theatre is minutes away also.

Tremendous food, good portion sizes and great value.

Great restaurant and excellent service. Great wine selection too.

First time I’ve been to the one York, absolutely outstanding food and the service was fantastic. I will definitely be back again and I will recommend everyone to try this place.

Great service and food at outstanding value and would recommended a must visit if you're in York..

We were recommended this restaurant by our taxi driver. I am glad we took his advice, the restaurant had an authentic and rustic feel about it. We enjoyed the garlic and deep fried mushrooms for starters and the prosciutto crudo pizza for our mains. All dishes were excellent, fresh ingredients and very delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. A great dining experience.

The food was a true Italian experience The squid rings were cooked with a tempura style batter and the light texture compliments the homemade tartar sauce really fresh taste of the sea My wide had caprese and said that was excellent Spaghetti Bolognaise and a desert and I was happy Great night thank you

Had a football presentation for my son here food was impeccable 👌

Booked for a pre show meal, first time at restaurant having passed many a time on way to Barbican. Great authentic Italian restaurant, friendly staff, food delicious & reasonably priced. No complaints at all, would definitely recommend.

Popped in before a show at the Barbican. Delicious pizza, friendly staff and perfect location next to the theatre. A great find!

We didn't book but sat down straight away, the menu wasn't huge but had everything you'd want on it. The food was served quickly and tasted great. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Wow! What a find! We loved our Wednesday dinner so much, we went back on Saturday. Fab food, good wine and brilliant service. Staff were very attentive and the manager was super - he remembered details of our conversation from first visit. Cost for 4 mains and drinks was only £90. If we had taken desserts, it would not have been a great deal more.

Good simple Italian food. Fresh and mildly flavoured. Good customer service and quick service. Sea food pasta was really good.

An excellent experience with tasty food and wine at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and efficient especially the manager. We were so impressed we returned on our last night of our break.

1st visit and made to feel like we were extremely welcome, staff were brilliant, fun and knowledgeable, almost not like eating out which was all part of the 5* experience. Food was great (muscles, mushrooms, salmon tagliatelle, pollo Gorgonzola ) Highly recommended

Highly disappointed!! Our first time visiting York last weekend and I’d searched which restaurants to try whilst here - this one was the one that stood out to us as we absolutely love authentic Italian food as a family - especially our 10 year old daughter! However, we arrived an hour and a half before closing time - as stated online but unfortunately upon arrival we were given the cold shoulder straight away, no apology, no greeting - the man at the desk stated the chef had stopped cooking, never heard of this before, however this would have been ok if another couple hadn’t have entered after us and been offered a menu and a table? They hadn’t precooked as they asked us as we were leaving if the place was closing - to which I told them apparently so. My daughter was extremely disheartened as she also saw them be seated through the window. Very disappointed in the hostility.

All four of us agreed that this was some of the best food we'd had. Competitive prices in line with the area.

Visited here as the food looked really nice. We weren't disappointed. Prices were competitive, as this and virtually all the other York restaurants seemed to be priced at £12.95. We had a bottle of the house white, at £20. Very nice and fruity. We ordered...

Fantastic - best Italian in York. Have been three times now before an event across the road at The Barbican. Every time we've had great, friendly service. The pizzas are perfect and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and now I'm looking for events at the Barbican...

Great food in lovely surroundings and fantastic staff!

A great family run Italian restaurant. Food and service was great. We would recommend a visit. Only a 5 min walk from the centre.

The best Italian restaurant I have ate at, the food was absolutely divine the staff were very attentive and friendly and the ambience was superb. The full experience was out of this world. The pasta and pizza we ate were gorgeous, fresh and tasty xxx...

Really nice restaurant, staff were really friendly and helpful and the interior was very authentic! For an Italian restaurant in England, the food was very good too!

The highs of my dining here were the lovely atmosphere and the friendly and attentive staff. But I was expecting something a little more authentic based on the Google reviews. Mozzarella in carrozza turned out to be just two pieces of breaded mozzarella, not the deep-fried toast. The pizza base was just wrong (but the toppings were generous and tasty), and pasta all'amatriciana does NOT call for red and green peppers (none at all in fact) and pasta shouldn't be served with garlic bread. The food was nice, and I have no issue with restaurants adapting to local taste. I just wish one of the reviews had pointed this out beforehand, as I feel a bit cheated by the 4.7 star rating (not the restaurant's fault, more the fact that most English people have never tried actual Italian food). I still gladly give it 5 stars for service and atmosphere. The food came quickly and was nicely presented.

Lovely meals and people who made you feel very welcome and look after you. Would highly recommend

Great food and excellent service in a lovely homely restaurant.

去过好几次，几乎每道菜都非常好吃 强烈推荐三文鱼披萨 不过经常预定不到位子

Fabulous restaurant, excellent service, delicious food & wine, loved Toto's 😋👍🍷❤️

Really good, the food was excellent, the service perfect, the staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend, was there with family for dinner and everyone had a beautiful meal.

Very disappointed. Me, my husband and adult son were looking forward to a meal here, and arrived at 8.30 on Sunday evening, only to be told they were already closed. We mentioned that on Google it states open til 9pm and the man who was...

As a group of 6 we were seated upstairs ,it was extremely cold some of group kept coats on ,food was very average as was the service ,definitely not as good as last vist

Had a fantastic experience at Toto's, where the food was some of the best Italian I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasty. The staff were welcoming and funny, creating this lovely atmosphere. I'd happily eat here again and again!

We were in York to go to an event at the Barbican and found Toto's conveniently across the road from the venue. We didn't have a reservation and were told that the restaurant was very busy with bookings but the staff did their best and...

we were in a huge party. Stuart could have done with another waiter upstairs but did a great job. Pizzas were tasty and good value
