Make a Day of It:
Explore Clifford’s Tower and York Castle Museum, wander through Coppergate and visit JORVIK before heading to L’Osteria Italiana for a leisurely lunch or dinner. A walk beside the River Foss afterwards may help, although it is unlikely to undo the tiramisu you confidently ordered despite being completely full.

​

The Tidy Take:
L’Osteria Italiana brings a polished touch to comforting Italian favourites without losing the warmth. The menu offers plenty of choice, the setting feels special and Clifford’s Tower is practically outside the window. Come for pasta, stay for pudding and leave speaking with your hands.
