Quick info
About Totò's
Totò's is a family-run Italian restaurant on Fawcett Street in York, with vintage 1920s-style decor and an upstairs dining area that adds extra seating beyond the ground floor. The kitchen focuses on the Italian classics, from pizza, including a margherita, to pasta dishes, alongside starters such as calamari and caprese salad. Carbonara is a regular order, and the menu is built around familiar, home-style Italian cooking. The downstairs room sets the tone with its period detailing, and the upstairs space is used to expand the seating, making the restaurant suited to larger groups as well as smaller parties. Booking is handled directly with the restaurant, and the family-run format carries through into the front of house. Set in a period-style interior on Fawcett Street, Totò's serves straightforward Italian food in a setting shaped by its vintage character.

Customer Review Summary
Carbonara is the standout, called fantastic and the best one diner had eaten when made the Italian way without cream, with calamari, caprese salad, and margherita pizza also singled out. Most describe the food as traditional and the family-run atmosphere as warm and welcoming, with vintage decor and friendly staff. One reviewer found the pasta flavors relatively simple and a bit blunt. Several suggest booking ahead for dinner.

“We ate at 5pm. The food was divine, house white wine was gorgeous (get the large glass!) my 6 year old and myself had calamari, caprese salad, carbonara and a margarita pizza and polished off the lot between us! Couldn’t have got closer to being in Italy if we tried. Waiters were lovely and friendly. 😊👌🤤”
- Haris Krikelis
“Food was relatively simple in flavor, I would say it met British food standards. We had 2 of our favorite pasta dishes and they were a bit blunt. Service was fast and the restaurant is big (more tables upstairs). Staff were very pleasant and the deco of the store is vintage 20s.”
