The best restaurants serving Italian food in York Yorkshire and The Humber

Best meatballs I have ever had.

Really nice and authentic Italian restaurant in York. It’s off the beaten track and we only went on a recommendation but it was well worth finding it and eating there. We both had the spaghetti carbonara which was delicious. It is CASH only though so come prepared. There were lots of people there that were obviously regulars which is always a good sign. Reasonably priced.

What a cracking little restaurant food quality, got to be one of best in york

Mamma Mia is a fantastic restaurant, with really great food and very nice, friendly staff. Booking a table was super straightforward, and the team at Mamma Mia went out of their way to make sure that my girlfriend had a wonderful birthday celebration. 10/10, would recommend!

Busy wee place, stayed right above this in an apartment, only down side is garlic 1st thing every morning right through the property!!

Visited Sunday lunchtime and had the shared Sunday Roast. Warning its not for couples with small appetites. Really well cooked with good veg and roasties. Nice amount of beef, chicken and pork belly. Also tried a couple of desserts which were excellent. Restaurant was bright and clean with attentive but not overwhelming staff. Service was good and prompt

Our group of two couples were wondering about York looking for a nice place to eat, we called in to the restaurant on the off chance of a table , we were accommodated by a very friendly front of house gentleman and shown to a table in the conservatory dining area …… All staff were very helpful and professional, and the food was all authentic and extremely good . Our overall dining experience was pretty faultless and will definitely pay another visit next time we are back in York …. Just brilliant

The best pasta I have had, and my son said it was the best Ribs he had ever had! A top secret in York, go before everyone else finds out about it!

Visitamos el restaurante para el cumpleaños de mi hija. Nos recibieron con una cálida bienvenida y mi hija estaba sentada con sus amigos. El personal era muy atento y amable. Realmente hicieron un esfuerzo para hacer la comida especial. La comida era fabulosa. Sin duda volveremos.

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.

Unfortunately the Luxury Ice Cream Company online menu is wrong. I was there on Sunday afternoon intending to have a banana split and buy my grand-daughter a Biscoff sundae but neither of these was on offer. The LICC did not respond to my email the day before our visit and their telephone number was not recognised. Having said that, the ice cream we did have was delicious.

Very disappointed. Food could have been much better if the chef cared more. The lasagne was cold. Staff were inattentive and not at all friendly. No heating in upstairs seating area.

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.

Después de ver este lugar que vendía tarta de queso al horno, vinimos de postre. Tenía muchas ganas de hacerlo y me decepcionó bastante. El cheesecake de vainilla de mi marido no tenía base (al parecer un cheesecake de San Sebastián) y mi cheesecake de chocolate tenía una base de tarta en lugar de galleta - muy decepcionante y caro : - (
