It was a cozy Italian spot and the service was wonderful. We started off with some focaccia and olives and they bring out a really nice olive oil with balsamic. Then we had the gamberoni picante which came in a lovely red sauce. For our mains we had the seafood casserole and the ribeye. Both tasted really nice and we were pretty happy with the experience. Definitely the kind of place you go for a casual dinner or late night bite.

A wonderful Italian restaurant, well worth the trip out of York to Upper Poppleton. Owned by the…read moresame people as La Piazza in York but I prefer Luigi's. It has a more relaxed atmosphere and feels somewhat more special. It's not so crowded. Part of the restaurant is in the conservatory, which is a really nice touch, to sit and eat somewhere that you can see green outside space. The food is great. Not only do you have your traditional pasta and pizza dishes, but there are also fabulously cooked meat dishes on the menu. It's expensive but not over-priced as the food is so good and the portions are massive.

The pudding of Italian bread and butter pud was excellent. Finally the house red was very drinkable and went with the food well. I really like the way you have to go through the kitchen to get to the toilets so you can check out the chefs and the hygiene as well! So a good night out with 2.5 courses and wine for about £20 per head. Good food, good value.

We had the Pappardelle e Petto D'Antara which used smoked duck breast. The smokiness was just the right amount and this was my favorite. We also tried the Ravioli Di Carne Rosalba which my daughter enjoyed. My wife had the Scaloppine di Maiale Mele e Albiccocche which was rich with a cream sauce sweetened with dried apricots. We each enjoyed our meals. The house white wine was crisp and tart while the red was fruit forward. My wife really enjoyed the red.

Given that it was lunch time, they were quite busy with only one gal helping with drink orders and another man taking all orders and serving the food (possibly the owner). The servers were nice enough just not nearly enough of them for the lunch rush. We had to wait quite some time to order. My wife had a chicken salad. She liked it but, surprisingly, there was too much meat and not enough lettuce. I had a bite of chicken and had a bone in it (part of my 2 star reasoning). I had a pizza that was pretty good, but it had huge bubbles that hadn't been popped while in the oven so they created huge areas of just burned crust where toppings should have been.

This place is so easy to overlook that despite knowing it existing even I walked right past it (it was a weekday night in the off-season so everyone was upstairs), but there's a decent sign for the narrow spot in the Shambles. This place truly feels like a tiny restaurant you might stumble upon in a small town in Italy. The wait staff is so friendly that you feel as if you're in their home and speak to you just as frankly. I was impressed to hear the waiter recommend the house wine to someone at a nearby table asking over anything on their wine list because of how uncommon primitivos are there and that it's a hardy wine. I had a glass of it and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the food was excellent (as authentic as I've tasted in a while) and very reasonably priced (though we only had starters and pasta) - even the free bread was surprisingly good and very useful in sopping up sauces later in the meal. Keeping in mind that it's a small place and you may be in for a wait if you don't book ahead, I can't imagine it disappointing someone looking for a real Italian experience in York.

Whilst looking for restaurants I could think of to review I was astounded to find that no one had…read morereviewed this place. This has to be one of the best Italian restaurants I have visited outside of Italy. Gianni who runs the place is very friendly and remembered me after my first visit, when I went in again 3 months or so later. It is VERY small so booking is essential I would say (and even then you may have to wait a little when you arrive) but it is perfectly formed, very cosy, warm & with an authentic trattoria feel. The steaks are great as are the house specials but do not go here looking for pizza, the kitchen is too small to make them apparently. The desserts too are out of this world, Toscanella being my fave - which is like a profiterole pie - mm mmm mmmmm!
