Delrio's Restaurant

Delrio’s Restaurant is a small Italian cellar restaurant with a strong Sardinian influence. Its cooking is home-style and the menu is presented à la carte, with a separate drinks selection to accompany the meal. The food has an emphasis on Italian character rather than a formal fine-dining format, making the restaurant suited to relaxed evening meals.

The dining room is reached by stairs and has a candlelit, atmospheric feel. Its cellar setting gives the restaurant a distinct character, while the lively environment keeps it appropriate for both informal dinners and occasions that call for something more considered. The low-lit surroundings can work well for a quiet table for two, while the layout and booking arrangements also support celebrations with friends.

Located close to Micklegate Bar and within a short walk of the railway station, the restaurant is a practical option for an evening in York. The nearby city-centre setting makes it suitable for combining dinner with an arrival, departure or night out, while the downstairs room provides a clear change of pace from the streets above.

Delrio’s operates as an evening restaurant rather than a daytime café or takeaway. Service is available from Tuesday to Saturday, with the kitchen taking final orders during the evening. Sundays and Mondays are set aside as closed days. The restaurant’s focus on seated dining, home-cooked Italian food and a convivial cellar atmosphere makes it a good fit for couples, small groups and special occasions that benefit from advance planning.
