Vitoria Italian Bar And Tapas Restaurant

"First visit and we had nothing but a positive experience. The food was especially tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. We also asked for a few little extras which were provided with no fuss. The portions are generous and full of flavour. Great find!"

"Tapas is probably my favourite food to have for lunch. Vitoria was a spur of the moment choice and it was an excellent find. On arrival there was a bottomless brunch offer for £35. 5 choices of cocktails, a starter and main. Ridiculous value. In a party of two, you all don’t have to have the brunch option. This option is amazing especially if you have a person who wants to drink and a designated driver for example. The bottomless brunch offers as a starter a huge antipasti board and a pizza and pasta of your choice. I went for a three small plates. Now I say small plates but the portions are amazingly generous. I had an image in my head of literal smaller plates but boy was I wrong. The lamb cutlets were amazing. I was asked how I wanted them to be prepared and they came cooked perfectly at medium. The prawn and scallop ravioli. This was the star of what I ordered. It was absolutely beautiful. Three good sized parcels with a beautiful filling that was delicious. The scallop and prawn did not overpower each other and they were in a sage and butter sauce. I would have been more than satisfied with just that alone. My final small plate were two ham and cheese croquettes. I am a fan of a blended croquette filling but these were well constructed and you could feel the melted cheese when you bite into them. They were fluffy and well seasoned. My only issue was that it came with mayonnaise which for me let it down a bit. Aioli or even a hollandaise would have made this incredible. The service was amazing. Attentive and knowledgeable of the menu, I could not fault it. I did like being asked if my lamb was cooked as requested and that was really nice to be asked. Also, on leaving, I was given some information about the location and shown the upstairs area. This was a really nice touch. It’s a long way from home but I would definitely return. Was I satisfied? Yes. Will I return? Yes. Should you go? Yes."

"Really good pizza and pasta. Lunch price is reasonable at £9.50 per main course. Not too happy with the optional 10% service charge when bill was presented but the service was okay. Unfortunately the food had given us rather bad indigestion problems. Still the taste of food couldn't be faulted."

"Great service. Espresso martinis were delicious & we went for a mid afternoon snack. The sharing platter was lovely and well presented. The decor is really trendy, kind of Ivy type feel. The girls there were great and really attentive. Look forward to going back for a main meal."

"What a find … The freshest tastiest seafood in York. Just had lunch here with my family, lovely relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, attentive staff & amazing food. Ordered the whitebait calamari & prawns that was so good that after finishing we reordered it again. Clams were really good too loved the sauce. The seafood was freshest I’ve tasted since being on holiday abroad. Ordered a selection from ‘plates’ Lamb chops and lamb Meatballs also good & cooked to perfection. Pizza & pastas for the less adventurous. Lovely puddings. Would definitely recommend for great food in a lovely atmosphere."
