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

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.

I had the Malanese loaded fries, they were perfect. Lovely place Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Ordered and picked up 3 large pizzas for my family. Pizzas were excellent and fairly priced, good toppings and crusts etc. no complaints, was very good for the price.

After a few visits now, i wanted to review what i have decided is my favourite Italian restaurant in York. The last visit I had here was on Sunday. It was a quiet and calm atmosphere. I'd definitely book for a busier night, such as Saturday. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat and recommend things. It cost just under £60 for 2 of us. We had a starter to share, a main each, a dessert to share, and a couple of alcoholic drinks. For York city centre, this is about the average price. Portion sizes were great. The food tasted absolutely delicious. The calamari rings were the right amount of softness, with a beautiful crispy batter. However, a couple still had the stringy outer bit. This wasn't an issue for us and was still by far the nicest calamari we have been served in a while, but worth noting to set expectations. I had the Tagliatelle pollo e tartufo which tasted really good. Just the right amount of creaminess, and not watery. The overall experience is well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone visiting York.

visited during the week and we ordered pasta & steak. steak badly overdone and pasta was cold. when we raised the issue with staff we received a very poor response and the manager appeared to find it all very amusing (didn't come over to speak to us, just sent waiting staff across.) overpriced and all in all a very poor experience and won't be back. used be a much better quality of food and service. take it from me there are much options for food in York

Great place to visit… great customer service, very efficient and friendly service. Food was very good- would highly recommend. Great service from Lucy 👌

Amazing place, high ceilings, marble pillars and good food at a reasonable price.

Great service, friendly happy and very polite. Food was quick and tasty.

We were greeted by a polite and helpful staff member who was very attentive during our stay at the restaurant. The food was excellent and came very quickly. We started with 'proper' olives (no brine). I had the Burratta and Pancetta Carbonara. It was delicious. My wife had the sea bass. She loved it. Even the side salad was well presented. I'd been told that the food was of a high standard by someone who is a chef. He should know. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend it.

Great food and ambience - large portions - cooked very well. Great location - Great service and accept walkins! Prices start from £9 for a starter and average main. £16

We would just like to say a massive thank you to Joe and his team! The pizzas were amazing! We had so many complements on how nice they were. Joe catered for all our guest with special dietary needs such as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. We would 100% recommend you in the future to all our friends who plan to get married they really did go down a treat. Thanks again Joe.

My wife and myself went to our local restaurant on 13th March 2022 after many years of visits and found it as always beyond excellent! We started with a garlic bread pizza style; My wife had the chicken Cacciatoria which was brim full of the most tender chicken in a sauce that was to die for and with beautifully cooked vegetables. She was unable to finish her meal and at the Staff suggestion we had the remaining part of the dish boxed to take home. I ordered the 'normal' Chicken Kiev Calzone Pizza, it was huge!! the biggest I have ever had, and we have travelled a bit; the pastry casing was beautifully made and the filling heaven. I tried my best but could not eat it all...so again brought back home to eat tomorrow. The service was attentive and professional, and we noticed that they made special fuss of the children on the next table. The only sad, nay disastrous news, is that they are closing as the owner is subject to advancing years; they close after Easter this year...great sadness! we will miss it.

Clearly the staff have not received their familiarisation for being in Yorkshire - one tea bag in a pot of tea does not achieve a Yorkshire ‘brew’! Other than that …. coffee and scone were fine.

had the best service from Caz and enjoyed the most delicious food!!!!

Great good and some good service
