Buongiorno in Northumberland

Been for a meal tonight, as always fab food and service, food is cooked to perfection every time

Seven of us came to celebrate our granddaughter’s 11th birthday. Really tasty, proper Italian pizzas and pasta, cooked by an Italian chef. Great atmosphere and service, very friendly staff, nice wine. We were all very happy and will be back soon

States gluten free pizzas are available what lies, you’s need to change the menu and take it off , first of all I get told there is flour left over in the oven but if that’s ok I can order pizza then the chef says he won’t do it and to choose something else and there normal flour still on kitchen surfaces even when wiped down, Well that doesn’t happen in my kitchen , not everyone likes pasta either. I felt so unsafe ordering something else I ended up with. A small portion on potato skins, which I got told they are gluten free and when your out with a group of people it’s not like you can just walk out when their order has been put through. I will NEVER EVER be back.

What a gem of a find! Staying in local hotel but fancied something different for dinner. Luckily we booked because people were being turned away shortly after we arrived. We both had a mixed salad and chicken & mushroom risotto. It was as good as anything we’ve eaten in Italy. Thank you BUONGIORNO for your attentive service and excellent tasty food.

Looking forward to a rare treat out after for such a long time we decided to book & try out Buongiorno's Hexham on Saturday night. What a disappointment. Food was average, service poor. The thing that spoilt it the most was that 2 customers were allowed to bring their dogs in to the restaurant and proceed to feed them under the table. Night out ruined & not worth £70 paid. Not happy at all.

Great food let down by service. Shortly after we asked for the bill, staff began coughing loudly, removing drinks etc to insinuate that we should leave - quite uncomfortable whilst members of our party finished their drinks. To be clear, this was around an hour before the restaurant was due to close and we had only been sat for an hour and a half.

First time here ... great experience with excellent food and very friendly staff... would certainly recommend it and next time we'll book, so we won't be disappointed in case we don't manage to get a table.

Amazing!!!!! Indescribably delicious pizza! Thank you and kind regards from Germany :) it was very, very good!

Food and atmosphere and staff always a delight.

Lovely little Italian restaurant that offers great food, friendly service and affordable prices. We visited from the Netherlands and would certainly come again.

Lovely place to eat or take away you never have to wait long for either fantasticly tasty quality food high quality service from everyone who works there.

Lovely pizza. Good service. Price was ok. Would definitely go again.

Absolutely delicious food. Our 2 servers Laura & Jem were amazing and looked after us so well. Highly recommend. Make sure you visit.

The only issue I have here is that I cannot award Buongiornio more than 5*. We came for a Family dinner, having previously wandered in the day before on the off chance there was a walk in. There was not - it was fully booked, a great sign for a Tuesday, and smelled wonderful. We booked for the next evening and had a memorable meal, not only for some of the best pasta I've had outside Italy, but also for the ambiance and friendly service. The atmosphere is a cosy, family-run feel and all our menu choices were superb. Do not hesitate to eat here if you come to Hexham. 10+* rating, if I could.

Great little place with very good food and great service.

Outstanding quality of food, great ambience, very friendly. Requires more stars than 5!

Always a delicious meal with friendly staff and good wine. As someone who doesn’t really do pizza the pizzas are fabulous! Good range of specials too.

Lovely meal for four here , not sure why it’s not higher in the ratings, probably because they don’t shout about themselves and allow the food and service to do the trick! Four lovely meals and decent service, thank you.

A fantastic and authentic restaurant with a beautiful setting

Had the early bird menu, the food was lovely the service was great in a great little Italian, thankyou guys.

Food amazing. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend. We had a great evening. Lovely atmosphere.

Popped in for lunch without a booking with party of 4 and small dog, was given a table without hesitation. Excellent service and food was lovely

A gem of a place, tucked down a side street. Welcoming and friendly. Great service from lovely staff. The food was excellent with a great choice at reasonable prices.

We walked past after a morning around Hexham and liked the look of this small Italian restaurant . The staff member was friendly and welcoming and found us a table straight away . It had a lovely cosy atmosphere and there were a few other people in but not over busy. We had the 2 course meal from the “ happy hour “ menu . Delicious garlic mushrooms and lightly toasted bread and then we had a pizza each . Mine was bolognaise my partner had the ham and mushroom. They were huge and we possibly could have shared one but we both polished off our individual ones without too much problem !! . A really lovely authentic Italian restaurant with pleasant staff . Would certainly go back if in the area again.

A really lovely honest Italian restaurant, simple, great food. Perfect for the family.

Went in as a walk in on Friday evening, pre theatre. A table was swiftly found for us and drinks served. We had the sharing charcuterie platter to start which was huge and delicious, cold meats, cheeses, pate, tomato bruschetta, olives etc. Ample for two, as a main even!! We followed with a cheese and mushroom pizza, beautiful thin crust and cooked to perfection!! Sadly no room for desserts. To drink we had Verdiccio of the very reasonable wine list. As the evening progressed the restaurant filled up, not noisy but a very good vibe. Attentive staff, speedy service. We hope to return!!

We booked for our daughter's birthday from the happy hour menu. Delicious food and friendly staff. Recommended.

Beautiful service. Friendly staff and Steaks cooked to perfection. We will be back.

Food very good although portion sizes are rather small for the pasta dishes.

Gorgeous food, best carbonara I've had in a very long time, authentic Italian food. The atmosphere was lovely full house on a Wednesday evening is impressive ☺️

Lovely food, quick service, helpful wait staff.

Best Italians in Hexham without a doubt.

1st time visiting this place for lunch. We had the spaghetti carbonara which was fantastic and the spaghetti bolognaise which was nice. It’s a nice intimate place for a meal and a bottle of wine. Will be definitely visiting again to try some more on the menu.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Went for my wifes' birthday and they brought out a free dessert for her and sang Happy Birthday. Lovely.

Visited for an early tea, was a lovely little place. Staff were friendly and the services was quick. Nice atmosphere too

Lovely cosy restaurant, good staff. Food was lovely, decent pricing.

A little gem of a restaurant with a warm welcome and excellent food. Reservations recommended, as there aren't many tables and their reputation is growing. Happy hour prices are available for 1, 2 or 3 courses, or there is a full menu available. Buon Appetito!

Popped in without a reservation and they could fit us in, just! Good menu with the usual crowd-pleaser dishes, pizza, pasta, risotto, plus some nice looking specials. Wine menu is small but perfectly formed with some decent reds. Restaurant is small, all on one level, intimate but also relaxed and social. Staff are really friendly and it's kind of like being in someone's kitchen, in a good way. Early bird specials are crazy cheap and the food portions are rather large. Great experience, a new favourite 👍

Loved our visit to Buongiorno. Fab food. Fab ambience. Fab staff who looked after us brilliantly. Thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Hexham.

Always fantastic food and service (and very reasonably priced).

Really tasty food here great service friendly staff a hidden gem definitely going back again.

Absolutely fantastic place for quality food and service.

Simple menu but still good selection. Special board available. Happy hour menu. I had calamari and then meat balls. Good value. Nice small restaurant. Good service

We were in Hexham for one night so popped in for a meal.We were there on a Thursday night so it wasn't too busy. The food is nice and service good.The food is not too expensive I think mains were around £15.00-£20.00 on average. The only thing I didn't like is paying £4.00 for a small bottle of Larger which I think is a bit much so I only had the one. I'm sure they would sell more if they dropped the price.

Great food and wine . We had lasagna and Penne Arrabiata

Excellent little restaurant with a good vibe and attentive staff. very good value for money.

Nice venue. Good food and excellent service.

Accommodating, courteous, prompt service, happy, great value 100% recommended.

Good food, good service and lovely staff. Recommend the risotto

I went for my mother birthday and the food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The workers were professional and really friendly this was the best service I have ever received in a restaurant. I would 100% recommend this to anyone. Thank you so much for a great experience

Pizza was tasty. My gf loved it too. Was a very loud group of people there.

The fillet was perfectly medium, the pepper sauce was wonderful! Very nice family run restaurant, served by daughter, other staff happy and very clean restaurant. Definitely going back!

The food is delicious but the takeaway option is weird! They seem to decide when you ring if they are prepared to do a takeaway or not despite advertising it as an option. In addition the price of the takeaway is always about £3-4 more than stated in the menu. When queried the reason given is they are really old menus but nothing to indicate prices have risen! I won’t be ordering from here again unfortunately because I didn’t appreciate the attitude I got when asking a perfectly valid question about the cost difference. Customer service is just as important as food quality and I’m afraid it isn’t great.

Lovely little place with lovely food with helpful friendly staff..You've got to try this place....

Lovely. Not as nice as when it had an upstairs years ago but nice enough. Like virtually all venues in the UK in 2023, overpriced but that's the UK not this restaurant in particular.

Really lovely little restaurant. Great food with relaxing and friendly atmosphere. We were there for happy hour which was fantastic value for money.

Lovely food for a meal just after finishing work. Early bird menu was good value for money. Service was spot on and was really nice to be bustling full on a mid-week evening.

Takeaway pizza was below average quality …very mean on the toppings

We regularly visit the restaurant along Backstreet, usually on busy Saturday evenings. The staff are always pleasant and friendly, not pushy or waiting on you to finish before scooping up your plate! The food hits the spot everytime. It doesn’t matter if you order a simple pizza to risotto or spicy seafood, your guaranteed absolute quality from the tiny kitchen. Some may say the place is a little small, but we love nothing better to be eating in a bustling little restaurant with the wine flowing! Our first choice for Italian, in the Tyne Valley.

Very Italian. Good food. There were several lone men just sitting with coffee. There aren't that many cafes that are so man friendly.

Fantastic! Everything was wonderful! You can tell you have had a great meal made by great people when you are just all around happy at the end! We could eat there every day! Thank you, and keep up the great work! Grazie mille!

Beautiful chicken in a beautiful friendly restaurant.

You're guaranteed a great Italian dining experience at Buongiorno. There are plenty of delicious choices on the menu. The staff are lovely and the portions are hearty.

Spotted this restaurant the previous day. Didn’t book so made sure we arrived early for evening meal at 6.15pm. . The restaurant was packed and no tables available until 7.30. Not a problem, so headed for a few drinks elsewhere. Lovely staff, we learned it’s a family run business. Food was delicious; garlic bread (pizza style) was fab, would recommend, and our pasta dishes (lasagne and spaghetti carbonara) were very tasty. A bottle of red wine to share which again was lovely. Thank you! Would definitely recommend trying this restaurant but make sure you book in advance!

Went for a staff night out, pizza was brilliant Molte Grazie

Buongiorno is becoming our go-to if we want lunch in Hexham. The veg risotto is always lovely and never quite the same twice (depending what veg is best at the time, most recently it contained asparagus tips as well as aubergine and courgette). Hubby is fussy about his coffee so the fact a double espresso always ends our meal here speaks volumes about the quality. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Lovely cosy place, with great service and lovely home cooked food, definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Disappointing meal with under-cooked pasta and a very bland sauce. On the plus side, the service was pleasant and quite efficient. But the food was definitely poor.

Truly awesome, the food is fabulous and the staff are helpful and polite, what agreat atmosphere.

An excellent restaurant, we were on our way to the cinema and popped in on the chance of a seat. The staff got us one and were so helpful and friendly. The meals were excellent, so tasty just knocked slightly as we like a little salad with ours, but that's our taste. The whole atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming even to lowlights Fantastic, thank you

Lovely food, friendly staff especially Harry

This was the best spaghetti I have ever eaten. I had the special spaghetti with king prawns and courgettes. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere lovely. My family had pizzas and calamari and these were delicious too. Highly recommended.

This was our first visit to this restaurant, which is extremely friendly, with a cosy, intimate atmosphere. The staff were marvellous, the food was excellent and service was prompt. The pizzas are the best in the area, thin base and very tasty. This restaurant is thoroughly recommended. We will be back very soon.

First visit to this restaurant and we will go again. Service was friendly and timely and the food was very good. The bread basket starter was huge but slightly expensive and a cheaper smaller portion might be better but that is only a very small thing.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and fabulous Pizzas!

Always a great place for lovely Italian food, excellent service, and comfy seats

Lovely meal the sea bass on the special menu done in lemon and garlic was just tremendous great staff very attentive and reasonably priced the best Italian restaurant in Hexham

We were there for my dad's 80th at the weekend. Huge thanks to all the staff for their welcome and their great food.

Delicious, freshly prepared pizza. Large portions of starters if you have a big appetite

Visited two nights in a row while staying in Hexham and on both occassions enjoyed some wonderful food and wine. Staff are very polite and pleasant, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the menu choice is extensive. Wish we had room left for dessert.

Fantastic takeaway pizzas and pasta for my son’s birthday meal with friends. Such friendly and warm and professional service, and the food was excellent. When we collected our order the place was packed, there was a lovely atmosphere, and we will definitely be booking to eat in the restaurant next time.

Brilliant little Italian restaurant, busy as always but they squeezed us in at 6 on Friday night, lovely hand stretched pizza, home style pasta and a friendly vibe. As always a lovely meal with great service 😊

Had a wonderful dinner New year's Eve. Food excellent, staff chatty and helpful, atmosphere great. A must visit restaurant

Excellent food & service. Have been a number of times & hands down the best lasagne I’ve ever had. Great range of starters & mains fresh & delicious every time.

Incredible food (my friend and I had the loveliest pasta dishes, 10/10 recommend), quick service from professional, informative waiting staff and the nicest chefs! Will be coming back soon!

Very good food and very pleasant staff. Lie Italian food and was obvious all cooked to oredr but good service

We went here based on previous reviews. It's a small homely restaurant with a traditional Italian feel. Staff are very friendly and all their Pizzas and pastas are gluten free.

We really enjoyed this popular and very Italian restaurant tucked away in a back street. There was an extensive but affordable menu and impeccable service.

Working in the industry I know the importance of good reviews, but unfortunately our experience at this restaurant was below average. I wouldn't say it is an authentic Italian restaurant. The food was bland and lacked flavour. The presentation was like a school dinner. The...

Made so welcome without a booking when restaurant was obviously busy. Attentive friendly staff and excellent food. Will definitely be back.

Had a delicious Italian meal in this restaurant whilst on holiday. It is a warm and cosy restaurant with friendly staff. The smoked salmon and asparagus pasta was the best I have ever had, it was tasty and full of salmon and asparagus.

Was a big fan of this place: lovely compact little venue in a character building, delicious pizzas, decent wine, Italian radio (I think) playing, all of which added up to an authentic experience which can be a rare thing these days away from the main...

nice enough place. I can cook better spag bol at home to be honest. Drinks prices a bit much, house red was good though. Not going back. There's an Italian cafe over the road, that's not much cop either

This place is a regular for us. The food is great quality at a very reasonable price. The starters or huge for the price and, having tried most of the menu at this point, the mains are all lovely, prepared the authentic Italian way. The...
