Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out friendly, quick service alongside well-prepared traditional Italian dishes. The seafood linguini and a medium rare fillet steak are both called superb, the Fusili Favarata is described as excellently seasoned, and one reviewer says to try the muscles. Several describe a lovely little family-run restaurant where staff smiled and starters and mains arrived quickly, and one family calls it a perfect evening. The main complaints concern the menu. A couple of reviewers note that pizzas are no longer offered, while another who ordered them found a base like hard bread from a freezer and square slices of ham like a ready meal. Others call the portions small for the price, and one longtime regular says the menu has downsized and starters suited to families are gone. Opinions on price differ, with one reviewer calling it really good. One diner paired a Verdicchio with the pasta and called it perfect.

“This was a perfect evening. We all had such a good time here. The food was cooked perfectly, and so delicious. The waiting staff was helpful, welcoming and very friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better family meal. Will definitely be going back the next time we're in York.”

“First time visit but not the last. The Fusili Favarata was excellently seasoned and prepared. I chose Verdicchio as a compliment to the pasta...perfect”
- Charlotte Hewitson
“So disappointed with the new menu and lay out. We used to love this little restrount used to every couple of months but now the menu has dramatically downsized and so have the portions. They no longer do starters suitable for families and no longer do pizzas. The menu is very basic. And highly priced. Also we used to love the manger but the whole night we were there last he did not smile once! Very sad to ruin such a beautiful little restrount.”
- David Mccraw
“Clean, pleasant dining area. Quick, friendly service. A little surprised that pizzas aren't on the menu. Excellently presented, fresh, very tasty food, literally couldn't fault it but a bit pricey for the portion size.”
