Quick info
About Davanti Classico
Davanti Classico is an Italian restaurant in the station building beside Tynemouth metro station. The menu opens with starters such as Arancino, and the pasta list includes ravioli alongside seafood pasta dishes. Chicken Kiev with chunky chips sits among the mains for those who want something outside the pasta range. A Sunday lunch set menu pairs starters with desserts, and a lunch time special runs as a separate option. The drinks list covers wine and cocktails, including the Cosmopolitan. A private dining room is available for groups.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the generous portions of Italian food, with garlic mushrooms, seafood pasta, arancino, and chicken Kiev with chunky chips named as highlights. Close behind is the staff, described as helpful, friendly and polite even on very busy evenings, and the atmosphere, which diners call lovely, calm and relaxing, with one saying they felt they were in Italy. Desserts earn a special mention, and the Sunday lunch set menu and lunch special come up as well-liked. Several call the prices good value, and a cosmopolitan cocktail and wine are also mentioned. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found service erratic and slow and received a tortellini instead of the ravioli they ordered, which they found disappointing. Elsewhere, a group of five at a Sunday lunch was offered additional spoons so those who had skipped a starter could share dessert.

“Although a very busy evening, the service was amazing. All the staff remained very helpful and polite even though they were working so hard. The food was really good quality and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. We have been many times and will hopefully return very soon. First class restaurant”
- Richard Hitchcock
“Overall, we really enjoyed our first visit to Davanti's. It's got a lovely atmosphere in a fabulous setting and I'm certain that we will return. Generally, the food was excellent with generous portions, but I can't give 5* because some of the service was erratic and slow, and my ravioli was actually a tortellini and it was disappointing. Apart from this, the food was very tasty and represented good value, with a special shout-out to the sublime desserts.”
- Kay Thompson
“Five of us enjoyed a very tasty Sunday lunch after a morning at Tynemouth market. The Sunday lunch set menu was ideal for everyone with a mix of generous starters and a good choice of desserts which one or two of us couldn’t fit in… but we were offered additional spoons to help those who’d skipped the starter and opted for dessert. Great staff, lovely atmosphere and service was good despite the restaurant being very busy. We will definitely be back.”

“We were a party of 7 , 6 adults and a child. We felt at ease as soon as we arrived and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The ambiance of the place was calm and the background music was very relaxing and enjoyable. The food was excellent and portion size was extremely generous. We all really enjoyed our evening.”
