Amazing italian restaurant with an original decoration and a great variety of meals. You can also enjoy a half pizza + half pasta at a good price. The restaurant is located in Jesmond area and it's usually full so dont forget to book in advance. The food is delicious and the staff very professional. 100%

What a lovely place so charming and old world. The food was really good and the service very good and the prices are so reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

Quick service and very friendly staff. The Italian staff make it feel very authentic. Be prepared to queue, but it will be worth

Sooo I come to Newcastle for the football I ended up here for dinner on the first night, it was one of the best Italians I've ever been too, the food was so rich as hearty it was perfect ❤️ the atmosphere was amazing the food was just

Old school family vibe Italian restaurant.The service is great. They make you feel very welcome.You get bread and can ask for balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I went for the bbq ribs which were spare ribs. The sauce was a bit tangy for me but I cleaned the ribs.The pepperoni pizza is £11.60 at dinner or £9.35 at lunch. It had lots of cheese but wasn’t my style of pizza.
Excellent restaurant with an authentic Italian ambiance. I really appreciated the originality of offering plates with half pizza and half pasta, which allows you to discover a variety of flavors. The Francesca pizza was particularly delicious. Recommended !

Haven't been for a while. Went a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed our meal there. My daughter asked if we could go back no brainer yes. Went in not that busy happy days quick service orders taken all very good starters came Very nice then the main course arrived two chose Pennie pasta dishes got tagatellie the other order pizza looked ok but raw how do you possibly under cook a pizza. At first I thought I was imagining it. But no I could taste the flour and with closer inspection soft and elastic under cooked . Also asked for an extra side of chips didn't arrive and told the waiter still didn't arrive although it was on the bill but they didn't charge for them. Go to any restaurant place and order you would reasonably expect to get what you ordered not what they want to give you and your order to be cooked. Sad to say we won't be rushing back ever .

Great Restaurant, reasonably priced and quick service with great food. Atmosphere for a Wednesday night in January was really good.

This is an institution of the area and is widely regarded as a great venue. Honestly I think the atmosphere and service can't be faulted but the quality of the food (I ordered half and half pasta pizza, potato skins and an affogato) for the price is dismal. £5 for potato skins seems very expensive. The pasta had very little to no flavour to it, the pizza was okay though for the price certainly not as good as newer pizzerias such as Flint. I did enjoy the affogato though. I would recommend going once for the experience and avoiding the pasta
