A family of ex-pats traveling back to Leeds after a long day at Filey. Five adults, two kids - all hungry and tired. Stopped in Malton for late supper (after 8:30) but were turned off by long wait times at several restaurants recommended by Google. Kids were getting grumpy! At the last place we tried, the hostess suggested we walk down a few more blocks to the local Italian place and we should be able to get a table. We were so glad we did!
Florio's was still very busy, but the host (Nico and his girlfriend??) assured us that we would be seated within 10 minutes and the staff would be happy to accommodate us - as much time as we needed, without closing the restaurant around us. Throughout the experience Nico and the wait staff continually checked in on us and were warm and inviting and looked to genuinely love working there! Everyone was happy! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Sensing the kids were bored and tired, Nico brought over two fistfuls of pizza dough for them to "play with." We thought it was so cool... but then he offered to bake their "pizzas" for them! My nephew brought his pizza statue home to the states! haha. We ended-up eating and drinking well after the restaurant had cleared out and I promised Nico I would write this Yelp review. Our experience at Florio's (in Malton!) was absolutely excellent and what could have been another lame pub meal, turned out to be one of our most enjoyable dinners on holiday. I absolutely recommend Florio's - the food is delicious, the wine and beer selection is top notch, and the service is stellar. read more
