Buongiorno Bistro — Restaurant in England

Very poor experience , first of all ordered a diet coke they came in cans And a glass that would be fitting in a canteen with no ice served . I looked at the waiter in shock , said they are warm he replied we don't put them in the fridge, I then asked for ice , he brought back one of the 4 inch canteen glasses to share between the three of us . Having looked at the bill after he definitely knew how to charge for the warm cans at £10.50 for three. A very bad start . Starters and mains were poor at a very high price. Never Again would I go back . The quality of italian cuisine in York must have seriously gone down hill ,looking at the ratings for this place . Easily the worst italian food iv had. lacked the romantic ambience and atmosphere iv come to expect when visiting an authentic italian restaurant . Poor service , poor waiter . The owner I assume, did appear to be nice and welcoming , unfortunately we got stuck with the waiter who thought he was doing us a favour by serving us .

Fine so why charge £3.50 for warm can of diet Coke? Why not tell us about the fridge issue ? . You dumped them down , brought ice as if it was gold, only after being asked. The food was poor for the price and had I not eaten the remains of my mum's pizza I'd have left hungry . To ask for pineapple as an extra is not something for you to mock . Your poor attitude stands out in your response . Had I not been with my elderly parents I'd have told you straight in front of your other guests. Not my problem your fridge is faulty , it's your problem to fix , especially charging those prices , annoyed me from the word go tbh . The veg on the pizza I would think was tinned, it certainly didn't taste fresh. You should take criticism on board . Im not writing this for any other reason than to inform you , so no other customer has a bad experience. Also get some tall glasses suitable for a restaurant , and bin the children's canteen glasses!.Also English mustard is enjoyed all over the world , had the steak been seasoned properly before cooking ,I wouldn't have asked . Tbh had I not have been with my elderly parents I'd have walked out after the drinks debacle . Boiling hot heat and you serve warm diet cokes , mammamia...

This is my absolute favorite Italian Restaurant! Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in York. The restaurant is beautiful, cozy and you can also enjoy good music at the right volume. The staff are very efficient, cheerful, polite, friendly and truly cares about your experience. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell that making the costumers happy is their main priority. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! This time I ate a traditional Sardinian pasta with beef, lamb and pork slow cooked ragu’ finished with creamy pecorino cheese. Outstanding authentic Sardinian pasta. The meat it was delicious and super tender. The taste combination of the excelente ragu sauce with pecorino cheese really blew my mind! I asked for beer and I was served with an excellent Italian premium lager. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in York....

Spent a few days in York with my wife and came across this place while searching on line for somewhere to eat out for our evening meal that was close to our accommodation. The reviews from other customers were very encouraging so we decided to pay a visit. We didn't book and decided to just show up in the hope we could get a table, after all it was a Wednesday. It's a very small, relatively inconspicuous, premises. From the outside it doesn't look particularly inviting but do not judge the book by the cover. On stepping inside it was bustling with customers and the ambiance was electric. We wondered whether we would be accommodated. We got lucky is all I can say and what followed was a first class gastronomic experience. For our main courses I had the 15oz ribeye and my wife had the whole sea bream. Both dishes were superb.
