About this menu

Il Paradiso on the Forest is a restaurant in York serving pasta, pizza, risotti, meat and fish. Starters and antipasti open the food, with dishes such as bruschetta alla romana and pappa al pomodoro. Pasta comes as fresh pasta, including pappardelle al filetto, and in a separate pasta section with lasagna. Pizzeria dishes include margherita and napoletana, and insalate sits alongside the risotti. Drinks cover beers, soft drinks, white wine, amari and a caffetteria.

Visitors planning a smaller order could pair antipasti or insalate with a plate of pasta, while anyone wanting a bigger main can turn to the meat, fish or risotti sections. The pizzeria gives a straightforward route for a simple pizza order. On the drinks side, white wine and beers are listed separately from soft drinks, and amari and coffee from the caffetteria make a way to finish a meal.
