It’s not often I find the time to complete a review online but after many years of great food and memories I felt it was way overdue to post a review for burro. Visiting regularly as a family and with friends we have eaten here countless times, lunch with friends, special dinners with family and friends, business meetings and so on, along with the celebrations we all enjoyed earlier this year when our son Enzo was christened when the team completey decorated the marquee outside and proved food and refreshments for everyone and made the day so special. No matter the occasion the quality of food and high level of service does not deviate from perfect. The lively atmosphere of the building does justice to the passion of the team who genuinely love what they do and truly care about the culinary delights they produce. If you want a silent boring meal without the Sardinian passion then go elsewhere. The menu changes every few months and always adds something new and exciting but always stays true to traditional dishes with some popular favourites included but does not fall in line with typical “Italian chain” restaurants. This is real food, cooked with love by talented authentic chefs. I could recite the entire menu but you would be reading this review all night. In short if you want real food cooked and served by knowledgeable people with skill and passion then visit burro. Over the past few years they have become very popular so even if you think of dropping in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon I would recommend calling them to book as they seem to be booked up day and night latley which again is testament to what they are doing. I know people who drive an hour to call in for dinner which again speaks volumes in itself. See you all soon. Grazie mille, Ben, Emma,...
Read moreI really don't understand where all the rave reviews come from after our experience on Saturday night, this is probably one of the worst meals I can remember at an Italian restaurant. My sons pizza came out with a cooked fly on it, it was taken straight back of course but we all know what happens in kitchens, the offending articles are usually taken off and the same food comes back out a few minutes later, no thanks he was put off and ended up sharing a bowl of dry pasta with four small chunks of beef in it and barely any sauce, his sister was grateful he helped polish that bowl of food off ! As for the signature dish of Gnocchi with langoustine it was a bowl of gnocchi and two whole langoustine on top, when you try and remove the tiny morsel of meat form the shell you end up with the equivalent of one small prawn, so basically £16 for a bowl of potato/pasta balls. My wife ravioli wasn't much better and she gave it a three out of ten at best, overall the food was terrible and the service was slow and at times non existent, the waitress walked past and looked at the empty glasses numerous times and never asked once if we wanted any more drinks, yes it was busy but at a good restaurant when staff see empty drinks they usually ask if anyone wants another drink rather than customers having to shout some one over. There are much better Italian restaurants in Selby. We cut the evening short skipped the last course and further drinks to go...
Read moreBeautiful Italian restaurant in the quiet village of Riccall. Based in an old windmill the lighting and unusual shape of the building make for a unique experience. We were sat inside the old round mill with its slanting walls. The food was fantastic.
As close to the authentic Italian experience as you can get in England. I had spinach and ricotta ravioli that came out in large servings and my wife had the vegetarian pizza which I stole a slice of. The pizza was cooked perfectly in the Napolitan way. Thin chewy base with the crisp bubbled crust. I had olives and bread for starters. The bread came with an olive tapenade but I wanted oil and vinegar which the staff were happy to provide free of charge. The desert menu was full of traditional Italian desserts. I had the no flour chocolate cake which was stodgy but rich and delicious. My wife had a single scoop of pistachio ice cream.
The staff were excellent, very attentive and were keeping the Covid rules enforced. So much so when a woman asked if she was ok without a mask as shed left it in the car they insisted she go get it. Value was decent with a 3 course meal with 1 alcoholic drink coming...
