Oh my days. This is genuinely an amazing find, do not let any preconceptions about the size or deco of the place put you off, you will live to regret it! I have been lucky enough to have dined at some of what I've experienced as the most incredible restaurants, including in Italy, and at first glance you would write this tiny little place off, it's not on a main street, and you'd blink and miss it if you were walking past but it is honestly up there with the absolute best. At 6pm on a weekday evening it was full of diners, always a good sign. We chose garlic bread and bruschetta for starters, my eldest boy is the biggest critique of garlic bread on the planet and declared it the best ever, I'd agree and apply that to the bruschetta too. My 2 kids then had 2 HUGE pizzas and demolished the lot. We adults had 2 pasta dishes from the specials board and at the risk of sounding hysterical again, we both agreed that they were 2 of the best pasta dishes we'd ever had. No exaggeration, just genuinely incredible, honest and authentic food. We also got talking to a lovely man who said he came so frequently on his own that he'd made his way through the menu and he told us all about his favourite dishes and how wonderful the place was and he was not wrong. There's such a lovely vibe about the place, and the staff encapsulate it. They're enthusiastic, attentive, warm, super friendly and genuine. I could've spent the entire night there. Sadly, we couldn't so we finished off with a pistachio semifreddo (i am obsessed with pistachio anything and myself and my youngest boy were in heaven with this desert) and Limoncello and left with the memory of an understated evening that transpired to be a memory we'll reminisce about for many years. Thank you to all the hardworking staff for providing such a perfect meal in York ❤️❤️ we'll spread the word about you far and wide and hope to be back soon! X
