Mamma Mia’s, Gillygate, York

Great Italian food, accessible if you can cope with fairly high thresholds, accessible loo but restaurant a bit crowded for easy manoeuvring. No parking but cars can mount pavement to drop-off outside.

Only accessible via temporary ramps and loos are in basement – lift probably too small for wheelchairs or scooters. Staff very helpful and food lovely. Conference room all on one level with accessible loo.
