Amici in North Tyneside

Pleasant staff, quick service and fabulous food.

Fantastic meal in a beautifully decorated restaurant. With great quality food and outstanding service. Will definitely be returning to Amici very soon.

What an excellent meal, served by efficient staff. I had the potato skin starter, I know people will yarn at this, but they were a different standard, piping hot not to fat and absolutely bucket loads of them. I went for the calzone pizza with chilli sauce topping, and it was again gigantic yet cooked to perfection. My wife had the ravioli and this was divine and yes, a very healthy portion. The staff were fantastic, there if you needed them but not in your face. The price was brilliant. Hand on heart, I'll be back for more as the menu was a headache to choose from Ps there's specials on throughout the week. 10/10 Revisited 22/10/24, as above brilliant food, served professionally at great prices.

Better food than pizzaria Francesco with quicker service. I'm a top scranner and can't fault it 👌

Fantastic food brilliant service staff couldn't do enough for us there was 6 of us and we were celebrating a engagement everyone's starters mains and dessert were beautiful lovely flavours in the food highly recommend this restaurant

Tasty food and well priced. Comfy seating.

Food and service was really good but check your bill?? Extra drinks 5 added on I have never had to do a review like this before

My go to restaurant for any Italian cuisine. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Always enjoy coming here with the family.

The moussaka was reheated and I'd say a couple of days old. Service was good

Great communication, really friendly delivery. Food was lovely and tasty. Romana pasta, with salad, just what I needed, thank you !

Lovey food. My family absolutely love it. We’re definitely going back to try more stuff

Came for the 1st time for my 29th birthday 🥳with my mam,nana..And what can I say? But WOWZA😱! I don't need to say anything but 1 word .. PERFECTION 👌🏾 worth EVERY penny what my mam paid 💸💰..We be back without a doubt 10/10 can't fault the place I HIGHLY recommend for everyone to try you will NOT be disapointed I promise 💎✨️😍

Booked in for a famìly celebration . Seated quickly and drinks service was nice and quick . Food orders were taken and starters arrived promptly, followed by mains . Staff were attentive but not obtrusive . Music was a shade too loud but as seated in side area did not stop conversation. Overall excellent food and service.

Lovely friendly staff (served by a young a young man studying business - legend); really tasty food - thank you so much!

As always, beautiful Sunday lunch and nice friendly service

Absolutely love Amici, I have been going for about 20 years. The food is so delicious. Staff are really friendly as well. I was blown away by the renovation too. Only thing I’d change is lowering the music a bit 😂 We prefer to dine in but have had takeaway too and it’s still superb.

Absolutely gem of a restaurant. Yes it's an Italian restaurant...but the food is extra special. My pizza literally blew me away. Cooked to perfection and with a literal full garlic bulb went onto this pizza. The way I like it. The drinks were on point too. Brilliant staff taking care of us.

Very friendly, llamb shank was good. Went in happy, came out happy. Relaxed atmosphere and would go back.

Friendly family vibes, great food good value for money

The food was lovely, the service was hit and miss. Took ages for our food to come but that was OK as we were chatting. We asked for another drink which never turned up but managed to appear on the bill - they did remove it when we queried it.

We come here often, as our local Italian/Greek restaurant. Service is always friendly and food is amazing, with plenty of choice. On Sundays they serve traditional roast dinners, as well as the main Italian/Greek options from the menu. Our local gem!

Food was beautiful and service was perfect thanks

I came here for a birthday meal and it was great. Service, food and atmosphere were all perfect.

Lovely family meal for 13 of us. Very friendly and great service.

As others have said service was very slow. When the food arrived it was average. Wouldn’t return as there are many other Italian options in the area with better food and service.

Have been there for the first time. Amazing food, very tasty and delicious. Staff very nice and friendly will definitely come back to try more dishes 😉

Delicious food realistically priced.

Excellent menu choices and delicious food. Very friendly staff and thoroughly enjoyed our visit would recommend and will definitely be back!

Really enjoy dining here. The place is pleasant and staff are friendly. Food is good quality too.

Went for Christmas meal last night. Food was amazing and very reasonable. Staff were excellent. Well worth a visit.

Family meal for my daughters 30th everything was lovely staff really helpful really good night

booked a table of 17 for two birthdays on a saturday tea time service outstanding the staff and manager are so lovely as well as the quality of the food.it was delicious and piping hot .everyone was commenting on how amazing everything was .thank you so much to everyone at amicis for making our birthdays so special can’t wait to come back

Great food and service !!! Friendly people. Great variety of dishes of Greek and Italian cuisine. I recommend it !!!!

Food just the best , so friendly and the best atmosphere.

Enjoyed food and atmosphere . Used to go years ago but it's changed for the better

It’s a long time since we’ve been here and wouldn’t rush back. Initial table seating wasn’t acceptable, we booked for seven people and at first the seating arrangement was awful. The waitress changed it around as she she said she had lots of bookings🤷‍♀️ Waited a while for initial drinks, then another while to order.. food was mediocre, service was lax. Seem to cater for regulars which is fair enough, but todays newcomers but be tomorrows regulars 🤔

Poor service, poor food. Starters arrived with one missing, had to go look for waitress to get the final one which it turned out she hadn't ordered. When it came, everyone else had finished. Ordered new potatoes but got fried, sauce never arrived and food was very bland. The carbonara was very 'wet' and saucy - it should be quite dry. The linguine was very oily with little flavour and the lasagne was soggy. Ordered lime and soda, got lemonade. We needed a lot of extra seasoning. Wouldn't revisit. Feel they need to choose between Greek and italian as they haven't got either right here!

Haven't been here in years due to slow service, will not be returning, service worse than ever even though it was quiet and very early in the evening. Staff have a couldn't care less attitude which is a shame as the foods alright.

First time trying Amici after a recommendation. All I can say is, if you're in the Forest Hall area, give it a try. Varied menu of Italian and Greek. I had pasta, other half had chicken skewers, both where excellent. Staff are very helpful explaining the different meals if you're not sure. On street parking only.

Can't say anything but you have to go food first-class service the best, family run and they care about customers, loved it, great service

love the sunday lunches from here, quality and hits expectations everytime. home delivery service always fast and piping hot.

Lovely evening meal and good, quick service.

A long time since we last visited , but after bad experiences in cheaper Italian restaurants closer to us, we decided to return. Young chap who served us and all other staff very friendly - good start thats what we want , nice ambience but not as many in as I would have expected , maybe the cost of living effect . everything fine , would have been a 5 instead of a 4 but for the penne arriabiatta , it was quite dry and hardly any sauce on it, wanted to mention it at the time but other half said its tasted fine just no sauce , she always has this , so next time hopefully they remember to put a little more sauce in , but will defo return,portions a good sizetoo , well done

A really lovely family friendly resteraunt. Nothing is too much trouble.

Celebrated a birthday. Food good and staff all very welcoming.

Beautiful food, lovely staff one of my new favourite restaurants

Food delicious, very generous portions, I couldn't finish my main, definitely a regular visit from my family.

What a delight I have not been to Amicis for several year's, but I now realise what I have missed. The food was amazing and the service was very good. Really looking forward to our next visit

Decent food for myself but overpriced. Had the lamb kleftako and was almost 17 quid. Literally was the shank and potatoes. No greens so looked bland. Tasted nice. Partner had gluten free pasta but was cooked to mush. Would go back though I suppose. Staff friendly but service was slow.

Lovely place good food reasonable prices

Really nice food, good, varied menu too

Nice food. But resteraunt empty

Friendly, welcoming, family-run restaurant - the food was delicious, it's so nice to have Greek dishes out here in Forest Hall!

Another successful visit with two friends who had never been before. We all went for the potato skins which were delicious and I opted for the mushroom risotto which was yummy. Staff were as friendly as ever – not long before we have a return visit!

On Saturday the 25 of February my wonderful daughter went and organised a party of 16 of us at Amici We had the most amazing time lucy and her staff looked after us so well and the food was amazing it was so nice no body complained about the service nothing Thank you so much for making my 70th birthday so special

Great food at great price. Portion sizes are huge too

After a dodgy start because they didn't seem to expect us despite the fact I had pre-booked everything went fantastically well. Lovely food, great service, very pleasant atmosphere, good value for money and a lovely touch at the end when they brought my wife a piece of cheesecake with a candle in because it was her birthday

1st time there. The staff friendly and accommodating. Lovely atmosphere. Food is gorgeous. Kids menu is half portions of adult menus which my granddaughter loved as she felt grown up. Will definitely go back

Fantastic family run restaurant, authentic food with a great homely atmosphere! Always made welcome!! Would definitely recommend for a romantic meal or family occasion, every one is catered for. Lush lush food, always our local go to 😁

A superb place for Sunday’s roast! Great food, excellent service, friendly owners. Highly recommended!!

We had a brilliant lunch from the Christmas Fayre Menu. The most amazing Chicken andHam Broth that was a meal in itself with home made bread and Traditional Roast Turkey with all the trimmings. It was delicious at £13:95 for two courses or £16:95 for three. We were so full we couldn’t manage desserts. Lucky to have this lovely family run Greek restaurant in Forest Hall !

Amazing food. Chicken souvlaki was beautiful.

Food is very delicious but the service is very slow 👎

Ordered take away. Came exactly when I had asked for it. Ordered Mussels which were so lovely and piping hot. Also the veggie mezze mix which was just so nice, Good value for money and would recommend.

Lovely lamb Sunday lunch followed by chocolate fudge cake. Couple of glasses of house wine. Nice relaxing atmosphere, nice to have this restaurant in walking distance.

Loved it! Wow food is fantastic! Thank you!

Very disappointing and over priced for the standard of food we received. Charged Very disappointing and over priced for the standard of food we received. Charged the same for take away as in restaurant. Cannelloni - not sure where the meat was. Filling seemed to be mainly rocket. Pizza Piccante - VERY sparse topping. I bought 2 frozen pizzas from Asda, costing £1.45 each, that had more topping and were much nicer. Garlic bread with cheese - dry and very little if any cheese. Tasteless. Chips - Minging and find it hard to believe they were hand cut. Cost - £31.45 although I get the total to be £29.50 so I assume the additional £1.95 was for the virtually non-existent cheese on the garlic brea d. All I can say is that I was so hungry I could have eaten a scabby dog otherwise I would have taken it back. Never again!

Popped in with a friend last week we used to go all the time before covid. all was well and the service was going great. We both ordered steak was abit disappointed as the sauce was smeared all over the steak but I suppose this is just a personal preference. The steak was overcooked …. Asked for medium and got it well done! Ruined my fillet steak but above all I was really disappointed when the waiter made a very obscene comment “suppose your paying” then laughed at me and gave the bill to my friend who was male. I corrected him and replied “in fact I am paying”. It really threw me and I won’t be returning. I don’t who was more embarrassed, us, the waiter or the family next of us who’s jaws dropped!

The whole family love it here! Good food at good prices

It’s no secret me and the restaurant have had issues previously, but this is nothing to do with the food but simply an access issue cos I live close by. Anyway a friend of mine is a regular visitor and rates the place highly so we decided to give it a go. Pleased we did as the whole experience was enjoyable. Friendly staff and decent food and that’s all you can ask for. Overall I would def recommend the place as it’s reasonably priced with good quality food and in my experience friendly staff.

Myself and my wife were in the restaurant on Sunday 4th of September,, we sat next to the ladies that made a very abrut seen to the owner , ( see post about owner) They ordered a starter that clearly states on the menu tziki OR hummus they then challenged staff when the bill arrived that they would not pay for both starters,,,, the owner kindly agreed to take one of the starters off the bill,,, But one of the ladies was extremely rood and persisted to cause a seen in the restaurant and me and my wife were extremely upset that we have been dining here for the past 15 years and know that the family are extremely accommodating and professional as the restaurant has been owned by the family for over 20 years I was shocked to here the attitude of the ladies that complained and also that they have put a review on here, as the problem was resolved as far as I'm concerned,

The meal itself was ok however the service was slow but worst of all when we queried something on the bill that shouldn't have been on there, the woman argued with us then she gave my friend the worst look and said she would take...

Food was a very high standard and reasonably priced . Lucy the owner is amazing .lovely place . We sat at outside tables which is all enclosed

Haven't been here in a long time and there has been a refurb adding booth seats and navy tones with salt lamps making it look more up to date. Had lovely pasta dishes and although quite busy it came in good time and tasted delicious. Will definitely be back again sooner rather than later!

Nice local restaurant, food was hot and tasty. The lighting is far too dark though.

Special Menu on Monday and Tuesday. Great value for money. Food absolutely delicious. Service very friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere, very clean. Definitely will be back very soon.

Disappointing meal last night. Potato skins and pizzas overcooked no flavour. No usual for Amici. Did message them but no response.

Had a family meal here it was very nice I had roast beef dinner decent portion and reasonably priced. Everyone enjoyed there meals.

Stunning food, lovely interior and an outside terrace they offered to fetch drinks to after our meal. Boxed our leftovers quickly and with a smile, because we were too greedy. My very first visit as new to area bit wow. Staff helpful and lovely and seem happy to be there. Can not think of a single improvement that could be made.

They do a Bolognese pizza which is quite rare nowadays for some reason and it was spot on.wine selection was ok too

Fabulous decor. Loving the new menu but could have done with something sharper to cut the pizza.

My food arrived 12 minutes after everyone else on my table. It annoyed me that when I politely asked the waitress how much longer my food would be she snapped back rudely and responded ‘well some people had starters’. I didn’t have a starter, and...

We live locally and often wondered why the place never looked busy. We thought we would try it regardless and give benefit of the doubt. When we arrived the place was reasonably full so we thought that’s a good sign. We asked for a table...

Food amazing staff lovely but watch when making payments using your card as they added £20 on on two occasions for me. Making this statement as first time you can accept as a mistake but not the second. Haven’t been back since tbh

Lovely food and very good value for money. Can't be beaten :-) Have been again recently (11th June 2022) and it's as fantastic as ever, it's been done out very nicely and the menu still has the classic Amici mix of Italian and Greek options. ♥️

food was bland, and wine very expensive for one glass. Dont do half bottles or carafs anymore... wont hurry back. Service slow too.

Excellent food , great service !!!recommended specially on greek nights!!!!

Parking is very limited . Vegetarian menu contained fish dishes so had to be studied carefully. Over priced starters and chips . wrong order brought to the table so had to wait for quite a while .Didn't listen to what was said even when told to put the card into the machine instead of tapping it. Disabled toilet very low and only one bar to assist. Will not be going again.

My mum's first visit to Amici but I have visited several times in the past. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived but it was mid-week and just before payday. I opted for the potato skins (would happily have this as my main course as...

Good food good service great night once again

Lovely food. Reasonably priced. Walking distance to metro

Love it thank you great food and great staff.

Went there after been let down at local Turkish restaurant they excepted us in on short notice 19 of us were welcomed in and sat down we got drinks straight away and once we ordered did not have to wait long for food and the food was excellent so nice and tasty and hot will be going back just want to say thank you to the staff they were 1st class well done amici

We phoned Amicis tonight after being let down by Lezzet to see if they could take 19 of us as a last minute booking of course they agreed, the food was beautiful and the service outstanding, nothing was a problem they let us take in our own cake and even gave us cream, we will be back xx

A bit of a disappointing experience here. We ordered online for collection and received an email confirmation saying at which time it would be ready. We arrived on time, and upon collection we waited a further 25 minutes in an incredibly chaotic environment before the...

We have had food delivered every other week for 2 years and have been very happy. Tonight however, food took 2 hours 20 minutes to arrive and some was freezing and went in the bin. Very disappointing

Fantastic food, great staff and excellent value for money, highly recommend

Visited yesterday with friends. The food was delicious, atmosphere good. We had a lovely time. Will certainly be back.

Fantastic staff, very patient with our team when one was delayed. Food was brilliant quality. Very reasonably priced..
