The Jury of us four is out on this one. Firstly it's pricy for what it is - essentially live…read moretheatre - where you walk through mostly dark walkways into rooms where 'actors' tell their part of an overall story. It's mildly amusing with a penchant for turning off lights to get a shock factor and it's well - delivered. The script is cleverly written and they link into the theatrics but truth be told while I enjoyed it as it went along I wouldn't return again for free. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't been yet but one recurring thing; it occurs three times - funny the first time, tedious the second time and downright annoying the third time. If you want discount you'll only get it on line and you need to have booked at least two days prior to your visit. There's no discount for pensioners nor Blue Light workers.

York is a beautiful town with lots to see, do and shop. Read good things about York's Chocolate…read moreStory. We we travelling with our Bulldog, so we took turns visiting the shop. Got a bunch of chocolate bars (milk, dark and raspberry) and a selection of their pralines. Even though very busy, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Prices are very fair. The chocolate bars were quite good. But maybe not exactly our style. Or maybe I'm biased because I'm Swiss :D But the pralines were divine! Pieces of art. Tasted as amazing as they looked. Really up there with the very best ones we've had yet. All kinds of ingredients and fillings. Just amazingly tasty. Surely we'll be back for more whenever we're back in York.

One family had a little girl who was probably 4 years old and she thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide was fantastic from the beginning to the end. She was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. The tour is interesting while giving you historical information about chocolate coming to England, the first chocolate families, as well as giving you a few tastes along the way. At the end you get to make your own white chocolate lollipop to take home. You also get to watch the chocolate kitchen make some chocolates and tested those as well. We thought it was worth the money and glad we did it!

My husband had the lasagna and I had the ravioli and both were delicious. My husband ordered the mussels, too, which were a special, and he really enjoyed them. He got 18 of them, which was way more than he expected. Highly recommend!

We had the Pappardelle e Petto D'Antara which used smoked duck breast. The smokiness was just the right amount and this was my favorite. We also tried the Ravioli Di Carne Rosalba which my daughter enjoyed. My wife had the Scaloppine di Maiale Mele e Albiccocche which was rich with a cream sauce sweetened with dried apricots. We each enjoyed our meals. The house white wine was crisp and tart while the red was fruit forward. My wife really enjoyed the red.

The staff was super friendly and took great care in serving my table. For dinner I started with a red wine and the Mozzarella Di Bufala Alla Caprese, which Buffalo Mozzarella with vine ripe tomatoes and fresh basil topped with olive oil and sardine meat. Then for my main course I had the Ai Funghi - Three Mushroom Risotto With Garlic, Parmesan Veg Stock And A Touch Of Cream. All the food was A+! And the price for dinner was very reasonable, under £21.

Its in a lovely old building which perhaps could be made a little bit more intimate/atmospheric at night with a more subdued lighting and candles ,its is a little to casual for a romantic meal for two. We shared a tomato garlic bread and for mains we had Calzone Kiev ( chicken/garlic, mushrooms, cheese) topped with tomato sauce and Penne Della Piazza and even had room for profiteroles and tiramisu for desert. The food was very good and would come again I just think they could do a little more with the interior for the night time menu.
