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

Stopped for a quick coffee on the way to do a little shopping in town. Never been in here before but I have heard good things. From walking in the door we were greeted with friendly hellos from the staff. Ordered a coffee and a tea and within minutes we were served. Very relaxed atmosphere and the cakes looked amazing. We will be back. Special little treat on the side of our cups ….

One of many eating places in the city, we chose this for location and the menu on offer. We had a very delicious meal, in a well laid out restaurant. There was plenty of room between tables and a very relaxed atmosphere with an appropriate level of lovely background music. Our waiter was excellent, very engaging and made us feel welcome from the start. In fact, this was true of all the staff. The food was perfect, presented nicely and tasted delicious. Would definitely visit again the next time we are in York and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality Italian food.

Had arancini which were tepid so took them back to be reheated, one was still lukewarm, would have been better freshly made -

Excellent coffee. Good strong Americana served in a sensible sized cup and not drowned in a mug. I was in early so the cafe was quiet and the barista was wrestling with the coffee machine. Good to know that they know how to fix their own machines.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Excellent pizzas, fresh ingredients, light & crispy base. Fast service. Would recommend for pizzas.

Wow - killer Neapolitan pizza. Great sourdough crust, superior ingredients. Quick, friendly service. We’ll definitely be back.

Great little cafe. Genuinely one of the best panini I have ever eaten.

Went for our anniversary dinner, as we do most years. Absolutely delicious fresh food all round. Good quality wine at a cheap price. Food is 5 stars, service very good but could be friendlier. We will definitely be back.

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.

Booked for a party of 12 people. The food all arrived at the same time, was delicious and the staff were superb. Will definitely return.

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

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.

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.
