La Terrazzina — Restaurant in England

We had the seafood risotto and a pepperoni pizza. The risotto was a reasonable attempt. A fair tasting sauce, a few small chunks of salmon, and a few mussels and prawns. The rice was still a little too hard for my liking. The pizza base was pale, hard, thin (guessing 5mm consistently throughout, if that), perfectly flat and almost perfectly circular. Thin and crispy! The toppings were sparse....basic tomato sauce spread thin to exactly an inch from the dry flat edge, a scattering of grated mozzarella, and five super thin slices of pepperoni, straight out of the packet. If you think you can't eat a whole pizza or want to share one, think again. Honestly, very comparable to supermarket budget pizza from the frozen food section. My pizza did not look at all like some of the photos posted in earlier reviews therefore I was very disappointed. Regarding the decor, a few empty tins of olive oil and a few packets of pasta as a nod to the Italian aspirations of this cafe. Overall, the service was good (quiet Monday night), the place and food was mediocre, the price was reflective of...

Do you have a spare 3-4 hours for some free chips? Which is what were about to be offered if we’d stayed, arrived at 7:30, starters at about 8:30, mains nowhere to be seen at 9:20. You walk past the Kitchen to use the loos and I should’ve guessed the experience we were in for when I did so, looked a disorganised rabble and so it transpired, restaurant manager in there as makeshift chef leaving his two very polite but inexperienced staff to deal with some folorn looking faces. Didn’t hang around for mains after two hours of waiting so can’t tell what they were like!! Basically bitten off more than they can chew which is a shame as starters were ok when we eventually got them. Just too many of the elements missing that to expect from even a basic restaurant experience.

Go to York Dungeons (amazing experience!!) and then avoid this place like the plague bit!!!!! So many good places to eat in York this really is not worth your time folks, and I’d be surprised if the place is around for long in a...

Found this little gem of an Italian restaurant on the outskirts of the York walls not far from the mickelgate entrance, we had not booked but they could fit in a table for 2. The staff were brilliant and worked hard all night, 2 chef's, 1 waitress and 1 guy serving drinks, coffee etc. They do not have an alcohol license but are quite happy for you to bring in your own, we popped out to the Sainsburies on the corner and purchased a bottle of Rioja and the restaurant supplies the glasses brilliant. The food was cooked to order so be prepared for a little wait, but oh yes it was well worth it the food was top notch. They are quite new to the area and seem to be building up a bit of following, they are looking at expanding the premises and the kitchen area's next year. I would recommend this little gem to followers of good fresh food, we will definitely be...
