Ask Pizza & Pasta, York

Situated within The Grand Assembly Rooms is one of the most elegant Italian pizza restaurants in York. Lord Burlington's rooms were originally designed in 1732 for social functions such as concerts and dancing. The interior still has echoes of this time gone by when the ladies of that era, wearing their hooped dresses, complained of the difficulties in negotiating the narrow spaces between the 48 supporting Corinthian columns! These graceful columns help create a wonderful atmosphere and with York's most famous landmark, The Minster, close by and the Yorkshire Museum within walking distance; this is a very popular place to eat. There's plenty of seating and the menu covers a broad range of meals that should cater for almost all tastes. A Caesar's salad costs around £3.50 and a spaghetti bolognese is a little over £6. Pizzas are available with numerous toppings and cost from about £4 upwards.
