About Sambuca

Sambuca is an Italian restaurant at 4 Park Ave in Whitley Bay, built around Pollo Sambuca, its signature dish. Pizzas share the menu with a specials board, and some of those specials are pizzas of their own. The pasta list includes carbonara, and spicy tomato mussels sit among the other plates for diners who want seafood. Chicken dishes round out the main courses alongside the house chicken plate. A lunch menu with lunchtime specials runs separately from the evening offer, and a car park is close by.

Customer Review Summary

The one clear complaint is a low-scoring review that calls the food lovely but the manager's attitude appalling. The reviewer says the staff refused to sing happy birthday to their son because they had not brought their own cake, and that no alternative was offered. The leftover pizza boxed up to finish at home is the detail a diner recalls most.

    “Went for the lunch menu and it was great value for money. Service was outstanding, must mention Brenda who provided excellent customer service.”
  • Kristian Dodds
    “UPDATE - We were absolutely not offered an alternative. —————— Food was lovely. Managers attitude was appalling. Refused to sing happy birthday to my son because we … ‘didn’t bring our own cake’…? Thanks for that after we spent £70. That was nice trying to explain to a 9 year old.”
  • Glen Friel
    “As we dont live in the area, we were recommended Sambuca by a friend of a friend. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, food was quite exceptional, our friend and I both had Chicken Kiev, (the best that I have ever had) my wife chose the Pollo Sambuca, equally as good. Fabulous food and very good value, we look forward to returning again. Thank you all Sambuca.”
  • Scott Graham
    “Great value for money lunchtime specials. Good service without pestering people. Nice atmosphere. Close to a parking lot and other amenities. Our favourite when in Whitley Bay. Carbonara is a must try.”
  • jasmin wilson
    “I have frequented this Sambucas a multitude of times throughout the last 6-7 years and always find the food incredible, especially for the price. Floor staff are delightful, pastas are delicious and they have the best pizza chef of all Sambucas. Will go again and again.. and again”
