  “My favourite restaurant in Newcastle. Me and my girlfriend love going here and I took my mate once too and he loved it. Unbelievable Italian food for unbelievable value for money. The owner and staff are very kind I feel a great connection to this place.”

  “DOG FRIENDLY 🐶 Great value for money place to eat where you probably won’t be disappointed. This place has been a longstanding runner for Italian food in the Jesmond/Sandyford area. The food we had was absolutely fine. Timely served to the table and appearing fresh. We called in for lunchtime pizzas on the 3 course special. Flat thin base pizzas that didn’t have any rise in the crust, but with a nice helping of toppings. Its interior probably hasn’t seen an update in a while. This could be potentially improved to give a more homely Italian feel. Service was unproblematic, but would benefit from some added personality and warmth.”

  “Always a pleasure to eat here. We had the gorgeous minestrone soup and roast lunch..just beautiful. The chefs work so hard & the bar staff & waitresses too. The owner/manager takes time to speak to you and asks how everything was. It's always busy, but not noisy if that makes sense. I just love visiting here. You will not be disappointed..10/10 will return again.”

  “The great food experience was spoilt by a small child running about during all of our meal. One of the waitresses (related to him?) did not effectively control him. She was also very loud shouting across the room at times. A really fine meal spoilt by the atmosphere !”

  “Went here tonight on the off chance/ had different plans that didn't pan out. But I have no regrets. It was really good. I have been before, but pre Covid. There were only a few customers in when I arrived (early evening). I was welcomed by a lovely member of staff and felt at home right away. Complementary bread was nice and I went straight in for a main from the specials. I was spoiled for choice... all sounded amazing. I plumed for the Chicken and Tiger prawn Cajun spiced pasta. It was delivered after some deliberation of pasta choice. It was piping hot, a generous portion of Tiger prawns and Chicken and it tasted amazing 👏. It was a bit like the scene where the food critic in Ratatouille tasted the Ratatouille and was bowled over. It was excellent... go and try it.... you'll like it 😃 By the time I left 7:30 ish), the place was pretty full.”

  “Smashing old restaurant. Have not been in years. Garlic smells as you go through the door no bulbs spared lashings of it on the bread that you know your gonna smell the next day of but we don't care!!. It's a reasonably priced Italians with a special board that's nearly as big as the menu. Great pizza it held it's self up it was crispy on the bottom and golden cheese on the top, not to much anchovies and the right amount of olives made a good pizza. Sea bass and muscles in a garlic white wine and lemon sauce was nice. Two fillets on a bed of juicy plump muscles with a choice of sides. £7.95 Pizza £14.95 for Bass with muscles. Plenty of parking no step to door.”
