I recently dined at Victor's last Saturday nite with my parents, brother and sister. We were seated near the front door and started out our dinner with a bottle of wine. While we waited for our watress to return we tried talking but could not due to a female singer in the bar area. Her singing was so loud and terrible that it ruined the whole dining experience. We ordered our food that started out with a house salad. The salad was just plain nothing exceptional. Our main courses arrived which were acceptable. I sense the food here can be inviting but the entertainment was extremely terrible. read more

I really wanted to like Victors, but the food was just not acceptable. The meatballs were hard and tasteless, as was the sausages. The prices are very high for York. The service was fine and the bar great, but at these prices you should really get better food. read more

Victor's is my favorite restaurant in York. My wife and I eat here about twice per year and come in for drinks on occasion too. This is where we had our first date, so maybe I am a bit biased. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and their service is on point. The old bay cream sauce over ravioli was perfect. It can be noisy when the tables fill up, but it still remains a cozy place and feels as though you have stepped outside of York for an hour or two. This place also supports local breweries and local original music. The menu is fairly priced and if we had more disposable income we would be here more often. I hope they stay in business for years to come. read more

Great Saturday at Victor's! Thanks, for helping us impress the "out of town" family :) Our nephew and his girlfriend were visiting for the weekend from the Philadelphia/New Jersey area. She and I enjoyed some girl time on Victor's sunny patio on Saturday afternoon. We had a wonderful cheese plate followed by fresh and inspired salads. We spent a perfect afternoon sipping wine, sampling amazing food and enjoying the day. Our server, Brittany, was extremely attentive. All four of the owners stopped by our table to ensure we were enjoying our visit. Later that evening, the four of us ventured downtown to have dinner. The restaurant we originally choose for dinner, informed us that there were 28 parties ahead of us and could not give us an estimated seating time. As my husband and I were listing alternative dining options downtown, our nephew's girlfriend suggested that we go back to Victors! So I dialed to the phone and was greeted by a very polite and professional host who told me that he would not be able to seat us inside right away but he could seat us on the newly opened patio as soon as we arrived! We arrived at Victor's a few minutes later and were greeted by Kai who had reserved us a lovely table on the patio. Again we received top notch service, enjoying warm fresh baked bread, wine, artisan cheese and meats. After a bit, we started to get chilly on the patio so I went back inside to ask Kai if there was any way we could move inside. Shortly after, Kai came through! He moved us inside where we received the same top notch service while enjoying incredible dishes like heavenly crab stuffed ravioli, homemade lasagna and rum cake! The food at Victors' never disappoints. The service is always above and beyond!! As native Philadelphians, we are born and bred "foodies" with very high expectations! Victor's is one of very few spots in York that meet and exceed those expectations, every time! read more

While visiting my boyfriends family in York, PA his aunt planned an amazing girls day out, and she picked the perfect restaurant to start it all off. We headed over to Victor's for lunch and met up with her friend, we were greeted by a VERY friendly staff, and immediately we're seated outside on the patio on a warm beautiful afternoon. Brittany our server was great, she greeted us right away with specials and a warm smile! She knew the specials in detail, and made sure our experience was a great one. For lunch we dined on the cheese plate for an appetizer, and between the three of us for our main meal we had the Fried Risotto, the Antipasti Salad, and the Eggplant Caprese salad, We were not disappointed. The salads were very refreshing and delectable, and the pairing of the cheese plate with the wine, was heavenly. We also received a personal visit from the very friendly owners, whom made sure we were enjoying ourselves and the food. That evening we we're suppose to go to dinner downtown, however the restaurant had a long wait time. While my boyfriends aunt and uncle we're deciding where to go instead, I suggested we go back to Victor's so my boyfriend could experience the amazing food and people. Since it was a Saturday night they were busy however we were seated on the patio by the manager right away. At dinner For appetizers the four of us enjoyed the fried calamari, and the cheese plate again (yes it was that delicious) and warm bread. For dinner we had crab stuffed ravioli with a cream shrimp sauce, crab cannelloni, and home made lasagna. All of our meals were delicious, with great flavor and presentation. For dessert we tried the rum cake and Tiramisu, the rum cake was amazing, best I have ever had. Victor's by far is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a long time. The staff and management are all very friendly and polite, the food is flavorful and delicious. If you're staying or just traveling thru York, Pa Victor's is worth the stop! Seeing as I have spent my summers traveling thru Italy for much of my life I can honestly tell you dining at Victor's is like being back in Italy, you will not be disappointed! read more

The head chef at Victor's, Chef George Sheffer, is an absolute mastermind. With a menu of timeless classic dishes that have been done to perfection combines with his own twist of modern elegant cuisine has really shot-putted Victor's Restaurant and Chef George Sheffer in to being considered the best in the york area and surrounding. Whether you're a food connoisseur just looking for a beautiful dish, looking to find that beautiful spot for you anniversary, or just looking for a nice dish and wine pairing, Victor's restaurant is the perfect place for you. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. I love everything about this place. The food, the atmosphere, the people. The live music is great! read more

This restaurant is set inside an old church, though it's not preserved church-like on the inside as I had hoped. I came for lunch and there were only a few people in the restaurant, which made the atmosphere quite nice. I haven't been there for dinner. The food was fabulous and the best Italian that I've had in York yet. The wine selection was great. They also have the best draft beer selection that I've found in York yet. Cappuccino was delicious, too. Server/bartender was quite nice. Highly recommended if you're looking for Italian in the area. read more

Service was great, but main entree came about 1 hr after ordering. Two out meals (filet and chicken) of 8 meals were luke warm and not piping hot. Calimara was very good and prepared just right. I was looking for a good white sauce and tortellini, but none. Could have had some soft Italian music to add atmosphere. read more

What a cute find! My husband and I went here for lunch and the food was great! The prices were a little high but the portions were perfect. It was an extremely slow day so service was not great (we were the only ones in the dining room, so our waitress didn't pass by frequently) but we didn't have any trouble, either. I would love to come back here for another lunch or a nice dinner sometime and try more of their menu! read more

Wow, I only do good reviews because I'm selective about where I go but since I was egged on by the manager (Billy? I wish I could say that's his name for sure because he spelled his last name too even though I didn't ask him his name.....hmmmmm) to do so. Victor's looked charming and the menu looked pretty decent. All was well (very charming on the outside as well as inside. Unfortunately, the inside contained the manager who was incredibly rude and insolent. We sat at the bar to eat but no one greeted us. The manager came by and I said "How ya doing?" he said "ok" and walked away from the bar. I decided to go to the hostess stand to pick up a couple of menus. I sat back down and we still hadn't been greeted. I got up to use the bathroom but walked into the men's (no drinks yet! it just wasn't marked) and he came in behind me and said "you don't want to be in here, you might scare someone" and I replied "I can see that, I'm heading to the ladies room (I knew I walked in the wrong room, thanks though). As I walked away he said " I could see how you'd mistake, ya know, you're in a big hurry and everything". I said "I'm not in a hurry" and he said "Well, you went up to the hostess stand to get your menus". Okaaaay. I said no one had greeted us and so I picked a couple up. He said "I'm sorry our hostess is efficient enough for you" and I just kept walking to the ladies room. When I got back to the bar to order he continued his thinly veiled sarcasm while asking me if I wanted something to drink. I said no, water would be fine. He would not accept that " No, I know you had to wait, let me give you a drink"..... now, this was not sincere, good manager type behavior. This was, I'm pissed you got your own menus and I'm not backing down stuff. I said no again and he would not relent. I finally said "Who are you?" I did not ask his name, that's a bit aggressive. He then spelled out his name and said "when you write your review you'll have the spelling of my name with such weird aggression (oh oh...he added "I love the restaurant business, I like to make it happy with such weird anger while being the rudest person I've come across in a long time) Sorry, dude, I was so floored at this point that I didn't catch it. I said "you're very sarcastic and I normally don't write bad reviews" all the while thinking he should really spend some time at Luca in Lancaster if he wants to see what a great experience looks like. Okay, this is the deal... we love dining out, we drove 2 hours to go to Victor's and it was truly a terrible experience. If he hadn't been there? It would have been lovely. I don't know this person but best thing I can surmise is it's a popular restaurant and he thinks that he can behave so rudely and angrily and people will still come. That catches up to you, my friend. Have enough of these experiences with new and existing customers and you will harm that lovely business. read more

While we were extremely impressed by the service, we were not quite as impressed by the food. My friend got the chicken parm and said it was good, but the sauce was a bit bland. I had the veal marsala and I felt the veal was a bit overcooked as it was kind of tough. The sauce was a little more buttery than marsala. The absinthe fountain was entertaining, but you better like the taste of high-octane Good & Plenty's if you get the Green Fairy. read more

Pros: -the only restaurant that offers online reservations via Open Table in the area -nice place located inside an old church -food was ok. -generous portions Cons: -the waiter was rushing things -the menu wasn't typical Italian as the name of the place states -the chicken Marsala felt a little undercooked Summary: Doesn't compare much to Philly/Baltimore restaurants but it stands out among the top 10 in York. read more

wonderful service! Luv Caesar salad, bread, veal tenderloin and duck breast here!

We have been at the restaurant several times in the past six months. We tried to give multiple chances since any restaurant can have a bad evening. Each time the food was mediocre at best. Service was good. read more

We went there on Saturday the 8th of August to celebrate our anniversary as we had heard excellent reviews of this place and it was a special day so we decided to splurge. We were seated immediately and our server came out pretty fast. Got our drinks and went over the specials. I told her I was a vegetarian so she suggested the mushroom soup which sounded delicious. She came back a few minutes later to say it had chicken broth so hubby got it and I ordered truffle oil French fries and they were amazing. So far so good. Then we get to the entree and there was no option for a vegetarian dish. I asked her if they couldmake pasta primavera which I thought was a simple dish but apparently it is a very complex dish.Hubby ordered shrimp with pesto linguini so I got the same minus the shrimp. I was feeling a little upset but figured you know the place was great my drink was awesome. What made us upset was after we were done and left we both realized they charged us the same price for both even though one didn't have shrimp. So that kind of made the evening not so great. Will I go back again? Nope read more

I enjoyed dinner at Victor's a few weeks ago. I regularly meet friends from Harrisburg halfway, and Victors is much better than the other options in the York area (Olive Garden, etc...). Food was very good. I enjoyed my salad Menu had a nice mix of traditional Italian dishes and contemporary versions with local ingredients. It's convenient to the highway and parking was easy. Service was good - we didn't feel rushed to order or to leave our table after the meal. Overall the best I've had in the York area. read more

First time @ Victors & it won't be the last. Great food - Great Service & good atmosphere. Need I say more....

I cannot express how satisfied I am with the customer service and food. I went there with my fiancée (been engaged 4 days) and they gave us a nice, private table in the corner. The food was amazing and the beer selection is fantastic (great for craft beer fans)! At the end of the night, the shift manager bought us dessert as a congratulations on our engagement. I highly recommend that everyone gives Victor's a try!!! You won't regret it! read more

My wife and I had a great time and we loved the atmosphere. We recommend it to everyone that loves Italian food

What happened to Victor's? Used to be my go to date night restaurant. They had the best Arancini appetizer, authentic original dishes like Chicken parmesan or Chicken Piccata and now it's all gone, couldn't find it anywhere on the pretty limited menu. If your menu is limited the dishes better be good! My meal tonight was recommended by the server. It was a Salmon dish that showed up to the table extremely blackened, extremely dry and eating the asparagus was like chewing on sticks. Very disappointed! read more

Spectacular food and always great service. I love the fact you can get half portions of many of the pasta dishes. Absolutely love the selection of wine and beer on tap. The wait staff and management is spot on and always engaging with customers. The chef George also has a great eye for flavor profiles and wine pairings. It you live in York or are here on business this place must be put on your list. read more

I have eaten at Victor's quite a few times in the past. Usually I have a great experience. My buddy and I were out to celebrate his birthday. The food was not as good as in the past but the chocolate lava cake was terrific. My issue came at the end of the meal when we were having a deep conversation. The manager came over to the table, interrupted our conversation and asked us to move to the bar. I have never been asked to leave a restaurant before. I understand that it is a Saturday night and may be busy but I think it could have been handled in a more professional manner. Maybe coming over and apologizing first and saying you have people waiting rather than asking us to essentially leave. I will not be going to this establishment again. read more

Quite overpriced for the quality of the food. We got the filet, which it was not! Looked like a round steak for filet pricing. The Italian chicken were two chicken legs, which when cut into the meat was red, not done. One drink each, no dessert, and a $91.00 bill. Will not be back! read more

I would come back to this restaurant weekly if I lived closed. We had the cheese and meat mix for an appetizer shared for 5. It was okay, not the best I ever had. The wedding soup, mussels and the Caesar Salad was very very good. One of the nice things about this restaurant is you can get lots of dishes in small plates. Now for the main course the Veal Saltimbocca was great, Veal and Eggplant Parmesan was raved about. The Linguine Balinese had spinach linguine that was homemade pasta. It was the best I have eaten. They have great bread and lots of pasta are made in house. We had no room for desert. read more

Great beer, cozy atmosphere, amazing food, good music.

My husband took me here for our "date night"....it was amazing! Great food, romantic atmosphere and good service!

This is a great restaurant in York! Ive been here several times when in town for business and its now the only place I really look forward to going to, to spend an evening and have the whole dining experience! The food is really delicious, service is excellent, the building is an old church and it's got a great vibe. The craft beer on tap and bottled beer menu is a nice surprise! My group loved the summer cocktails. I would gladly recommend this place over many other places in York. Off the beaten path and a cool spot. They also have live music on the weekends! read more

The bruschetta came on soggy bread. The waitress explained that it was on gluten free bread. My opinion, that should be an option, not the standard. Bruschetta is served on a crostini not soggy white bread. The salad was nothing spectacular, just chopped lettuce on a small plate. Wife had ceasar, I had house. The only difference I could see was I had 2 tomatoes whereas she didn't. The entrees and desert were outstanding however, my hat's off to the chef. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was attentive and polite and tried to make the best of a bad situation by getting our food to us as fast as she could because of the loud wedding party so we could at least dine somewhat in peace. A wedding party of 30 came in around 8. We went for dinner at 730 so we could enjoy the band that went on at 8. By 815, the wedding party was so loud and obnoxious we couldn't hear the band from 10 feet away so we just decided to leave. My major complaint with this is not one of the staff asked them to keep it down and be respectful of the other guests. They may have had a good business this evening from the large party that came in, but there's 2 people that will probably not be back. This definitely was not worth the $100 we spent for the evening. read more

I've always had great experiences at Victor's. The staff is attentive and not stuffy. If you check out the menu ahead of your visit, don't decide on anything because it will be hard to choose when you hear the daily specials from your server. If you enjoy steaks, the filet will not disappoint. It is always cooked to perfection and with great sides. Their fish (usually a special) is always fresh and delicious. All meals include a salad and warm bread. Save room for dessert as the creme brûlée with berries is fabulous. They are known for their rum cake but I like the chocolate cake better. They even box up anything you can't finish with the dish name and date so you can be sure to eat it in a timely manner. read more

I've always liked Victors, however, my last experience wasn't good. They want to be fine dining. They're failing. The menu seems fairly impressive, but the quality of my meal was mediocre at best. A pasta dish with lobster should have actual lobster in it, not only claw meat. And then there was the horrible service! The very young and untrained servers were laughable. She had trouble pronouncing the specials and their descriptions. She had no knowledge regarding their wine selection. And the wait time in between her visits to the table was terrible. We sat with closed menus waiting to order for 15 minutes while the servers stood in the back chatting. I won't be returning. read more

Its expensive but its absolutely worth it. Amazing beer selection and their appetizers are perfection. I cant speak on their entrees because the 3 times ive been in, we have ordered a few different appetizers with a few different beers to get a little taste of everything. I would imagine the other food is awesome as well. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Good for date nights or just a nice classy bar to lounge at. read more

Our favorite restaurant in York, nestled in a neighborhood. Charming atmosphere and I believe you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband and I had the Chef's Table - sampling of three 1 antipasto, 2 pasta 3 entree. I had the 1. beet salad, 2. Spaghetti bolognese 3. Beef short ribs. So scrumptious. Loved every dish. Devoured the first two and took some leftovers from short ribs and mashed potatoes with hint of horseradish to hotel for breakfast. I had the best breakfast and ate every bit of my remaining short ribs and mash. Others at table had the Orzo with lump crab and cheese (yummy), a black and blu filet, and Blackened Rockfish. All four of us shared a decadent dessert of Tartufo which was also excellent. I can also recommend the Moscow Mules and Manhattans. Thanks to the friendly service and guidance from Carmichael!! Enjoy. I'll be back. Came from Florida for a dog show in York. Glad we yelped Italian Restaurants. read more

Victor's is a gem of a restaurant. The food is great and the service is on-point. Have had a few meals and drinks there and - no complaints.

Dropped a star b/c it is extremely expensive on the dining room side of the restaurant...great for special occasions. Food was fantastic and the wine selection was huge. Atmosphere was upscale. The restaurant is a beautiful converted church .... so its a little tight in there...but it is luckily all adults and so no kids running around! read more

Victor's is a hidden gem. It is located in an old church, which was transformed into an italian restaurant. My husband and I went with another couple for New Year's Eve. The place is not very big, so it is a good idea to make reservations. All the food is made to order and tasted very fresh. I had the Victor's Special, which consisted of large shrimp, scallops, lobster meat with red peppers and lobster ravioli in a sauce. It was Amazing! My Husband had the Lamp, cooked medium, and it was perfect. It melt in your mouth. They start the meal with bread and olive oil. I always ask for vinegar and parmesan cheese to go with the olive oil. Yum! Then, you are offered the house salad or an upgrade to caesar. We were all full and content that we did not order dessert, but it looked delicious at other table. The food was spaced well and the server was very nice. The other side of the restaurant was a bar area, but we were not seated in that section. So, I can't review that. They do have a good selection of beer and wine. It is a bit pricey, but worth it for a nice night out. read more

I've heard of Victor's and seen it before, but never tried it for dinner until we received a gift card for the restaurant. Tried it for dinner on a recent Friday evening, and we were very impressed with the food. Everything we tried was fabulous, from the salads (caesar & seasonal), to the pasta (risotto with scallops), to the entriees (salmon & chicken florentine). Our only issue was that we tried their PREZZO FISSO Chef's Italian Table deal, but it was just way too much food. Not their fault - we just should not have gone that route. Next time, we'll know better, and just get a salad along with either a pasta dish, or an entree. We definitely want to go back, as the food was very good. And we appreciated the very slow pace that they have. Dinner was a 2 hour experience, which was very enjoyable. They did not rush us or hurry us along. They take their time and let you enjoy the food & ambiance. Had a nice jazz band playing in the bar area, but we could hear it pretty well on the dining side. So we had an enjoyable dining experience, and we'd recommend it to others. read more

yes Victor's is expensive but you are getting gourmet food, excellent service, and ambience for your dollar. we went to Victor's for a birthday celebration. the men were pleased with the beer list and they are beer snobs. The ladies were pleased with the wine list. I had gulf shrimp with asparagus and homemade ravioli In a pink cream sauce that was heavenly. Victor's is off the beaten path and in a nearly residential area but is worth seeking out. If you need a nice place for a special occasion or to impress a date, this is your spot. read more

Been to Victors twice and have left there satisfied both times from the food to the service. Had the bruschetta both times and it was so tasty. My girlfriend ordered the chicken Marsala which came with spaghetti while I ordered the veal saltimbocca. The chicken was very moist and the Marsala wine sauce was delicious and not too saucy. My veal was very tender with fresh mozzarella and just melted in my mouth. We tried the chocolate cake which was gluten free and it was so moist. Our server Alex was very professional and even had our cake comped because it wasn't served the way they usually make it. Very attentive without being overbearing. We will be returning. read more

I was not going to leave a review BUT I am from NJ and my boyfriend from Italy for my bday dinner a friend recommended this place, the menu looked great and so did the reviews but I was horribly disappointed!! I ordered Chicken Parm w/ linguine as my main dish, being Italian chicken parm SHOULD BE a thin piece of chicken breaded with sauce and cheese! They gave me 2 small frozen thick pieces of chicken it was unbreaded and my whole plate was watery from the horrible sauce on my Spaghetti which I ordered linguine. The best way to compare this food was DINER FOOD!! My boyfriend got the salmon which i only tried the risotto which was crunchy. I am shocked by the reviews of the place I wouldn't be surprised if employees were leaving the reviews. Now I sent my food back an the manager was very kind and handled the situation spectacularly! He did not charge us for our meal and gave us free cappuccino and dessert which was good! He also mentioned that the executive chef that they brag about on their website was away on vacation but that still does not explain frozen chicken and not in house made sauce!! This is suppose to be an Italian restaurant but it seems like they are shifting towards seafood and maybe steak bc there was not many Italian items of the menu, Again prices here are at least $20 a plate for that price the food should be fresh!! I'd hate to say it but the food was DISGUSTING!! The manager gave us a $25 gift certificate to come back and try but my experience with the food was so bad I doubt I would go back. read more
