We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant while sightseeing and I am so glad we did! We went at lunch time so it was quiet with only a couple of other tables in. The server was lovely from the get go :). The food was some of the best Italian food we've ever had. I had the lasagne and it was honestly the best lasagna I have ever had. I will 100% be going again next time we are in York!

I'm rating this as 3 stars when the reality is that we had a 2 star experience but the staff were truly up against it with other members apparently not turning up for work on the day we visited and the drinks delivery not coming so there was basically nothing to drink. Ordinarily I think this would be a 4/5 experience but it wasn't for us.We booked well in advance as a party of 10+ and on arrival were surprised that the restaurant was near empty, at lunchtime, on a Sunday, in a prime spot, when York was heaving. No problem though, hopefully this would lead to fast service... it didn't.The poor waiting staff seemed like they were ready to just walk out, a simple request for water for the table to the young chap was met with a look that suggested I'd asked him to drain his body of all its blood and serve us that. The water never came despite three requests.Food service was incredibly slow to the point the kids were asking when it would be coming nearly an hour after ordering but when theirs arrived it was really impressive, it just took too long between starters and mains.On the adult side starters were excellent and presented really well but the Sunday lunch was a bit lacking, the meat was decent, the gravy good but the roast potatoes hard and dry, the carrots unappealing to look at but tasty and the plate just lacked green" to balance things a bit. Other dishes on the table that weren't the Sunday lunch looked really good but were a little cold by all accounts.They ran out of beer

Very intimate setting, small dining room but the tables aren’t too close so it feels very nice and cosy. The service is very attentive and the menu has a lot of verity. Plating is stylish but not overly fussy and the food is beautiful! I had the duo of lamb and my partner had the chicken. I also had the crispy pork salad to start which isBeautiful! It was my birthday and my partner had requested a candle on a desert which the waitress brought over singing happy birthday. Can’t rate it highly enough, there’s lots of lovely places in York to eat. Make this one a priority.

Excellent service. Lovely food and good value - had choices all from the set vegan menu and really appreciated the effort gone to keep these in line with the other menu. Also had a lovely mocktail and impressed with all the vegan desserts choices, will be coming back to try more!

Wonderful little restaurant in city centre. Easily accommodated for our large group of people. Food was prepared to our liking and served rather quickly, even though we were 14+ guests. Lasagna was delicious and appetisers utilised proper Italian meat and cheese. Pasta was also good. Kind staff was a good bonus.

We had the restaurant to ourselves which was surprising and also a shame. The decor is beautiful, the service was great, our meals were well presented and tasty (just way too much potatoes!).

Great muscles, decent roast, good service. If you feel inebriated walking out from your table it's not you it's the floors, adds to the charm though. Note I had eaten half the muscles by the time I took the photo.
