My favourite authentic food places

Definitely the best and most authentic pizza place in town. This place is run by two Italians and they import fresh local ingredients from Italy on a weekly basis. They also do the best espresso in town (based on my experience having lived in Italy)! You will find the place to be full of Italians and that's the best evidence you could get. All the staff there are friendly and even as a solo traveller you won't be bored eating there alone!

Amazing brunch using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Great atmosphere and with ample outdoor seating. They also serve sweet stuff like muffins, brownies etc and artisan bread to take away.

Probably the most authentic Japanese casual food place in York (all the others are not run by Japanese). Reasonable prices. Does get really busy and are closed evenings.

Exceptional fine dining place and service. Very reasonable price for the quality and experience you get. Book in advance as it’s a small venue!

By feet or by bike are the best way to get around.

Parking in the city centre is limited and driving around can be stressful so best to avoid.
