  “Our visit as a family of four started with a warm welcome from the wait staff. It’s a lovely venue inside that has a modern decorative finish and up-market feel. The food was of a fair standard - kids pizza was great fun, getting to asked to put the toppings on themselves is a good touch! Chicken bites was just a birds-eye style chicken dipper that were a bit overdone or perhaps left under a heat lamp, giving them a dry finish. Lamb pasta was nice, served rich sauce. Pollo Kiev - dry breast of chicken served with a large helping of melted oily butter. Nice amount of garlic, but lacking umami. Overall, an underwhelming meal and probably wouldn’t return.”

  “Hadn’t been here in a few years but decided to give it a go after seeing all the hype on social media and menu looked good. Took 25 minutes to get a drink, over an hour for the starters and then an hour and 50 minutes before the mains arrived…. Ordered half pizza half pasta and got the wrong pasta. I pointed this out to the waiter who replied that’s what you ordered. I replied I didn’t order that I don’t eat meat. He replied well that’s what was ordered with the margarita then went off to the kitchen. Turned out my husband had the dish I was meant to get and the one on mine was intended for him. As it was just the wrong pasta my husband didn’t argue and took it (it was spaghetti bolognaise which isn’t even on the menu and was meant to be tagliatelle bolognaise. Minor detail considering everything else) once that was sorted we stared to eat. The food tasted good but nothing amazing and pizza was barely warm. Needless to say we’ll be sticking to the prospect in Penshaw for our Italians.”

  “4 of us went for my son’s birthday meal. We’ve been coming here for years. Took 45 minutes to receive starters. These were ok. Mains took ages. Very mediocre. The two calzone pizzas were over cooked to the point of being burnt on top and really hard to cut. ( I would be embarrassed to send these out if I was a chef) Chips looked terrible. Something has definitely changed here. Waiting staff were nice enough, but we will not be going back . Definitely living on a past good reputation.”

  “I am fed up with people claiming that they have authentic Italian cuisine restaurant but when you order from them you order a cheap ingredient dishes as my order I ordered the margarita pizza after checking the restaurant website where they’re claiming they’ve got Italian pizza authentic pizza et cetera, I expected Napoletana pizza dough and flavours what came up a pizza far away from authentic Napoletana pizza some restaurants think the people doesn’t know proper Italian food so they claim they have Italian flavours and Italian authentic food but it just a high-end fancy takeaway quality”

  “What a fantastic little gem of a restaurant. Staying in Washington for business and fancied a pizza. Found Ristorante Fiume to be a very warm and cosy atmosphere. Served by a very courteous and efficient girl and most importantly the food was excellent. I had the pizza with pancetta, mascarpone and truffle and it was superb. Amazing value for money considering the quality you get. Highly recommended. Lorenzo.”

  “The food was good but nothing that blew my mind away. Dessert was very good again. Children's menu had a good amount that was offered. A couple of the staff were rude other than a young girl who was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. I would come back but in no hurry to do this unlike other restaurants we've been too.”

  “Where to start, we came at 2:30, and from then we were waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food to come, service was appalling as we had places to be after, and had to cancel plans. This would have been justifiable if the place was busy, but it was relatively empty and many people who came in after got served and left before we even got out food!! Apart from this, the food was great but not worth that wait.”

  “Visited on 24/09/23. Arrived about 7pm on a Sunday. Welcomed in. Service was good. Staff were attentive and quick to bring drinks out. Reasonably priced and offering Sunday dinner in the evening was a bonus. The food was okay. Nothing outstanding though. Although my wife thoroughly enjoyed her Sunday dinner. Decent portion sizes too. Vegan offerings too. It was fairly quiet so maybe more of a vibe on a Friday or Saturday evening. Yes, will visit again sometime.. 😋”
