“We went about 2.30 today and I had a delicious tuna panini , while my husband chose the ham one, and they were both huge and delicious! They were very well filled with tomato and greens, and served with chips ( not so good, as quite greasy) and were the best paninis we've both eaten. We haven't been for a year or two owing to health issues but so glad we went back. The girl server was very friendly and polite and a real asset to a busy place! Well done Liosis!”

“Dolce vita on the Tyne — garlicky gamberoni that feel like a small Sicilian holiday without leaving Newcastle. Sunshine optional (of course). The food and atmosphere are spot on, and the people make it — genuinely warm, both staff and fellow diners. It’s the kind of place where conversations flow easily and characters gather naturally. 🤗 No regrets, just a very good time all round.”

“Brought my wife for her birthday which was our first visit. The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. Davi looked after us very well and we’ll certainly be back! Highly recommend!”

“A little out of town and a little hidden in a business park, but also a little gem. Stopped here for breakfast and wow ... Fantastic service, very good quality food and pretty good value. Nice atmosphere and the friendly staff couldn't be more helpful. Absolutely recommended.”

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw reviewers raise most, led by a full plate of bacon, sausages, poached eggs, fried tomato, mushrooms, beans and hash browns with a warm bread roll. The eggs Benedict is also singled out. One diner calls it the best breakfast they have had, though not the cheapest. Close behind are the huge tuna and ham paninis, filled with tomato and greens, along with garlicky gamberoni, pizza, a large salad and a Sunday dinner. Visitors on their way to a hike praise the cannoli and cappuccino as authentic. The one specific complaint is that the chips served with the paninis were quite greasy. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, and the atmosphere as lovely and warm. Some regulars say they come several times a week. One reviewer recalls staff rigging a makeshift blind for a customer with the sun directly in their eyes.
