La Vecchia Scuola

Came here with my parents and brother for lunch. We shared the Cozze a la Vecchia and Brie Empanato as starters, both of which were delicious. For my main, I had the Duo di Agnello. I requested no mushrooms, but since they’re incorporated into the sauce and used as garnish, that wasn’t possible. Surprisingly, I ended up eating the mushrooms like chips — they were that good — even though I usually don’t like mushrooms. The rest of my family had the Branzino Beurre Blanc, Risotto Tartufo di Pollo, and Maiale Smaltato. The risotto had a very strong truffle flavour on the surface, which stood out quite a bit. We also had a flat white, a few cappuccinos, and a passion fruit martini — nothing too much to say about them other than they were good. We’ve been here about five times now, and each visit has been a great experience. The pricing is fair for the quality, and the service has always been good. However, this time there was a small issue with the bill — a few random items were added by mistake, totalling about £20 extra. It was quickly corrected before payment, but I’d recommend double-checking your receipt just in case. Overall, still a lovely restaurant that I’d happily return to.

We came here on the recommendation of my sister and loved it. It was busy and everyone looked very happy. Attentive, cheerful staff, and a lovely atmosphere. We sat in the summer house (best name I can think of). Plenty to choose from on the menu. I only took photos of my calamari and pizza which were brilliant. My wife had a pasta dish and loves it

A beautiful and stylish Italian restaurant in the York City Centre. If you love the fine dinner service and high quality food that is your place. The waiter's service is so professional from small hostess reception at the entrance and the waiters once you have your table, they take care of you all the service. The food was amazing, I attached some photos you will have a look the place and the quality of the dishes. We will be back again, fully recommend it.

Had a nice meal here taking advantage of the reasonably-priced set menu. The food was all hot and delicious. The restaurant was incredibly busy (Saturday afternoon) and the staff seemed to be struggling a bit with a few mistakes made.

We had an amazing anniversary dinner here. Food was delicious and service was great. We were also given a glass of complimentary Prosecco each to celebrate our anniversary. We would highly recommend dining here.
