Davinci's Italian Restaurant
80-82 Ocean Rd, South ShieldsALWAYS good food at DaVinci's - there's a reason this place has been here for what feels like forever! Warm welcome at the door and a real family feel to the place. Ambience is always spot on with the right lighting, authentic music and food like Mama used to make!
Lasagne is always my go to here and it never fails to hit the spot. My partner always loves the Pollo a'la Crema and I have to say it's a tasty dish too. Pizzas are also amazing.
Great selection of drinks, from soft drinks to spirits and the best coffee this side of Lake Garda.
In short, it's always worth a visit into this little corner of Italy if you're in the vicinity - especially at Happy Hour!

KFC
Chichester Rd, South ShieldsThe gravy megabox is always a great choice, while the chicken was tasty, one of the pieces was dry, but it made up for it by having the gravy. Keep in mind, the chicken is rarely dry, so It shouldn't be too much of an issue for anyone else.Parking: It is free for around 90 minutes which should be sufficient. And also has 2 instavolt E-Vehicle charger baysKid-friendliness: This restaurant has child meals, as well as seats that are appropriate for children.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has a button to automatically push the door open, as well as having a low+flat level ground, meaning that wheelchair users should have no issues with getting in and out of the business.
