Bellini's Italian Restaurant & Cafe in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Made a birthday celebration extra special and food was lovely as always.

Best Italian I've ever been to. Very authentic!! 5 stars from me

Little hidden away family run place, the food is really nice and the family who runs it are very friendly. I had the lasagne and it was a proper Italian one with all the layers. Would recommend.

This family-run restaurant is a true hidden gem in Newcastle. The tiramisu and bolognese are a must.

This was a special meal and the food and people were outstanding. I had a very tricky menu request prior to the evening and they couldn’t have been more obliging. Couple of tweaks here and there and everyone was sorted. The food was amazing every person was very happy with everything and that included drinks and desserts Couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Quality!!

Good food nice ambience. Would recommend

Disappointing. Slow service, waited 45 minutes for food order to be taken. When arrived, food was average at best. Won’t be going back.

The restaurant is lovely and the food is superb with large portions. The garlic bread is the size of a pizza. Staff were really good and the atmosphere was great Will definitely be back soon.

This is a hidden gem in Newcastle-under-Lyme! Went to have dinner and the food tastes fantastic!

What a lovely evening with the family. Excellent freshly prepared food We all enjoyed every morsal, decent choice on the menu even for fussy eaters. Thank you

Really lovely pleasant place to eat. Food is absolutely amazing

Really authentic Italian cuisine. Lovely service. Definitely one to recommend.

Love the place and his authenticity! Great food, humble, and helpful staff. I have visited the place quite a few times, and I will be back for sure. Love the dedicated vegan menu, highly recommended 👌

We ate at Amore this evening, delicious authentic food and good service. A good selection of (Italian) wines too. What more could you ask!

Absolutely amazing, fresh Italian food, original Peroni! Staff were so lovely, but the food was out of this world, a real authentic Italian experience. Hands down the best Italian around. You can tell this is familyrun nd they show so much pride in their cooking and cuisine, would recommend to anybody. Well done Framcesco.

Amazing food will be back at some point

A lovely, truly authentic Italian tucked away down a side street. All food is lovingly made, from scratch by Francesco to the highest standard. The service is very good, where you are not waiting very long between courses. The Atmosphere is truly lovely, where you can sometimes find your hostess, Cassie serenading while you dine. We Always look forward to a special experience at Amore!

Lovely food, some of the best pasta I've ever had and the gelato is incredible! Would definitely return

Great food, will definitely return

The restaurant is very nice. Prices are higher and portions are not very large, but filling and very tasty. Good starters and delicious Gnocchi - the best I've ever eaten (with shrimp, chorizo and chili, brilliant!). BUT the big minus is the price of the dessert. The ice cream was really very good, but despite the homemade ice cream, £7.50 for such a tiny cup of ice cream is definitely too high a price, unfortunately. Everything was adequate to the price except the desserts.

A wonderful family run restaurant! I believe the chef is the owner and the place it’s only open from Wednesday to Saturday 6pm to 10pm. The restaurant is hidden in sort of corner of an alley however is easily accessible and plenty of car park within walking distance from the restaurant. There is a ramp at the entrance to enable wheelchair access. The restaurant style and decor represents the authentic Italian style and the personal photos on the wall strengthens the feeling of that this is a family run business. The food in general was delicious, each meal was indeed fresh and the dessert was heaven. Not a lot of selection on the menu which I really appreciate in a restaurant. Makes choosing a dish easier and allows the chef to master them few dishes. In my opinion the amount and price of the meals are acceptable however I would not recommend the squid in red wine as it does not worth the price. I also missed the pizzas from the menu, as an Italian restaurant I would expect the place to offer this. Slightly bit on the pricey side for its value, size of portions and location in my opinion. In overall service was fantastic, dessert and focaccia was heaven and food was delicious. Plenty of Italian alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages and of course Pelegrino was on the menu. I would definitely recommend to visit this restaurant.

Best food ive ever had period, i cant praise the place enough, beautiful food, beautiful people, perfect night all round, ❤

Great atmosphere and service. The food is top class and all fresh. We will definitely go again A little hidden gem in a corner of newcastle

Lovely little Italian restaurant

Hidden gem! One of the nicest restaurants in Newcastle. The food was absolutely delicious and accompanied by such a lovely wine. The staff were very pleasant, hoping to return. Recommend the cheesy foccacia!

Such a great night lovely people will happily come back.

Such a lovely little place and the food is amazing

A pleasantly simple menu with truly delicious taste in each and every dish we had - the wine we picked was also recommended by the owner and didn't disappoint. The hidden venue offers a genuine authentic feel of Italy with a welcoming cosy atmosphere. A must visit - huge well done to the owners :)

Lovely food, friendly service. Would like more veggie choices, the menus seems reduced?

A great family run business. We have been many times and again another fabulous meal at Amore. Food - hot, tasty, good portion sizes and good selection to choose from. Nice buzzing atmosphere and friendly staff. I would recommend to anyone.

The warmest of welcomes when we arrived, freshly made bread and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Oh my goodness, why haven't we been here before?! The food is absolutely exceptional. Every course was fresh, piping hot, and so incredibly delicious. There is a good variety to choose from on the menu, and absolutely everything is homemade and traditional. The tiramisu is to die for, so light and full of flavour, definitely the best we've ever had. The chef really does work magic in the kitchen! All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, they really made us feel at home. I would 100% recommend Amore to other lovers of authentic Italian food, and we'll most definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening Team Amore!

Had a lovely meal hear with friends. The food is to die for and excellent service and atmosphere. Very friendly staff and cannot wait to return and try more of the menu.

Amazing food worth the trip from Birmingham to this fantastic restaurant.

Perfect casual dining with outstanding food

Fantastic food and service. The chef and manager are lovely people, very welcoming and very helpful. Pasta and bread is cooked perfectly, and made fresh, not to mention great value. Would definitely recommend.

Nice little cosy Italian restaurant with authentic food. Good prices.

Came here tonight with group of friends. Very warm and lovely place. Staff really friendly and the food was absolutely unreal! So rich and delicious! Definitely returning!

First time at Amores and the meals were very nice. We will be going back again.Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly.

Always amazing food which is freshly prepared. It's a lovely family run restaurant, and I'm never disappointed when I visit

I think there was far too many in our group for them to cope with, out of 24 people approx. They got 3 to 4 meals wrong and rather than taking the blame they blamed it on the hostess who had emailed all the chosen dishes and who showed the manager who was not accepting the blame so some of the party were not happy with that.

Not a good experience, pre ordered menu for a large group ,very small portions food not hot drinks order incorect . I felt so sorry for the waitresses who were very apologetic it was not their fault. My friend had no meal at all we ended in macdonalds. If as a restaurant you cannot cope with large groups decline the booking .

Lovely food all homemade bookings recommend

Awful service , pre ordered meals as there were 20 + of us . At least 1/3 of the meals were wrong , side orders coming out after food had been eaten. The main problem for myself was the rudeness of the manager , who according to her none of the error were down to them and her word were “blame her at the end of the table “ absolutely shocking customer service.While I agree errors can be made but at least 7 meals were wrong , no sides came but as the manager said it was because “she” had cancelled them , laughable really . Needless to say my friend who organised everything was very upset and I doubt any of us will return .

Great night, fabulous food and excellent service

The best authentic Italian food. All freshly cooked by Francesco and his wife. The staff are most welcoming and attentive. We had a fabulous meal - in fact the best we have had in ages. We shall definitely return.

And absolutely fantastic evening, we'd just ordered dessert when the was a power cut. After about 10 mins or so there was no sign of the power coming back on and behind me, one of the staff put a song on her mobile we just thought it was something as background ground noise but the she started to sing and wow! Her voice was absolutely fantastic and completely unrehearsed and it really made good of a bad situation it was service above and beyond which is becoming rare these days

Great atmosphere with some live music, To get food this good, you'd need a flight to Italy itself!!!

the best restaurant in newcastle - i’m a regular!

Enjoyed the food and ambience. Happy to go back and hope that I do.

Lovely food, good portion size and pricing, wonderful service and such a home like atmosphere with smiling staff even when it was busy.

Fantastic food. Great gluten free options. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for fine gluten free dining!

Superb authentic homemade Italian food. Absolutely delicious 😋 Francesco and his family are lovely people and the staff were very warm, welcoming and friendly, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend to Italian food lovers....you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be going back. Thanks Francesco x

Our second time at Amore and we had the sampler menu. A little expensive in relation to other offerings on the menu, but what an excellent choice. We were asked about our likes and dislikes and a fantastic 5 course treat was presented to us. There was no rush to the evening and each dish complemented the next. Proper home cooked, locally sourced food, with an abundance of Italian flair. Places like this are becoming rare. Genuine and bespoke, like being in Italy, France, Spain or Greece ...... The food and the service make the evening 👌 A bottle of Primitivo served us well

I'm gluten free and they looked after me well. And the unexpected live singing was excellent.

Excellent service and food. Made very welcome. The best Italian food I've tasted.

Lovely food, freshly made, friendly welcome from owners and staff. Fully recommended.

One of the nicest places to eat in stoke on trent (if not the nicest) great hosts, incredible food and very well priced for the quality you get

OMG what a hidden gem of a restaurant found it by accident was not disappointed great food service and value highly recommended.

Wow food fantastic brilliant service what more could you ask for 🙂

Fabulous darling!! Freshly made pasta, Gnocchi bread, ice cream to name but a few. Best Italian outside Italy. Cooking with l9ve and great ingredients. Highly recommended

A pleasant Italian restaurant in Newcastle under Lyme. Food is very good and service is excellent.

Lovely food. HOWEVER...we dined last night and waited 45 minutes for starters to arrive which was a real shame. The service was very slow, albeit polite! At no point was an apology offered, which we would expect given the delay and wait time for food

Beautiful food!!!! Just go there. It's so worth it and reasonably priced.

Lovely food, lovely people, lovely experience. Chilled and relaxed, everything it should be!

Really lovely Italian restaurant. Has authentic pasta dishes, and the garlic salted focaccia is to die for! Lovely family running the place, happy to chat and make recommendations.

Arrived on time on Friday evening having pre booked a table for 2. Had to wait 30 minutes for a table.No offer of a complementary drink while we were waiting.Food was good,but not exceptional for the price. I would suggest that at busy times they explain to customers that their table is pre booked later in the evening, so as not to keep new customers waiting. Regards Alec

Fantastic food authentic italian great service and menu available for gluten free

A hidden gem in the centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme. This family run restaurant is one not to be missed. Fabulous authentic italian food which tastes amazing with wonderful friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best restaurants I have been to. The gnocchi was unbelievable and I cannot wait to come back and visit to try some more of the menu. The servers are lovely and we were made to feel so welcomed. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

That was the most beautiful food I have ever had from a restaurant, it was just absolutely delicious. The staff were lovely and worked hard. It was just a lovely little place.

A wonderful dining experience, friendly and attentive staff and the food was amazing! The best Italian food I have had in a very long time! We dropped in without booking on a Saturday evening, and they squeezed us in. If we ever come this way again I will be booking a table to make sure we get in!

Had a great evening. Don't let initial appearances fool you, this is a proper italian family restaurant. Good honest homemade delicious food and Francesco is a lovely friendly host. Recommended without hesitation!

An amazing Italian restaurant, the food was fabulous, the dining experience great, very friendly and attentive staff. Value for money indeed. Thank you.

Traditional Italian food with great wines. Good ‘family run’ atmosphere, would recommend.

Gorgeous meal tonight with my mother and sister. Every course absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to go again.

Fantastic family run italian. Food is great, we go oit of our way to come here when passing by.

Excellent local restaurant with friendly staff. We were staying in the area and visited for a quick weeknight meal. Loved it so much that we returned for the tasting menu on the Friday. On both visits the food was outstanding. We look forward to going back.

Lovely food and very tasty! The lasagna is one of the nicest I have ever tasted! Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Will definitely return.

The food cooked by Francesco is exceptional, he has a real passion for his art.

Fantastic meals created from family recipes and tradition. Family run and while you are dining you are treated as if you are family. Highly recommended to never be disappointed!
