the bar is good, the people are kind, but the only problem is that it opens very late, I often pass by that street on my way to work and I want to take coffee with me, but it is not open yet. This schedule is intolerable, all the more so Italians at work in Italy coffee bars open at 5 in the morning.

If you want the true flavour of Italy/Sardina, go to Caffe DiBella. Absolutely unbeatable. We have traveled extensively throughout Italy and the U.K There isn't a better coffee outside of Italy/Sardina. Fantastic friendly service and authentic Italian/Sardinia snacks. If you've tried the rest now try the best.

I have been to Cafe Di Bella twice now with my Wife , first time for a coffee and cake and second time with the addition of soup and a toastie . I have to say now that we are both coffee connoiseurs and visit many coffee shops in the Sunderland and South Shields area and certainly know what constitutes a decent cup of coffee . Well we certainly have found it at the Cafe Di Bella because the coffee is " second to none " , it is obvious that the owner certainly know what they are about . The cakes and snacks are also very tasty and reasonably priced which makes it an added bonus ! I will also have to say that the service is first class , quick and friendly , so what more can you ask for in a local coffee shop . We will definitely be returning for a nice coffee in pleasant surroundings . Message to other coffee shop owners , pop in for a coffee and learn how it should be done .

So, you travel the world, discover Europe and all it has to offer, you live abroad and think you know it all. You have a bean to cup coffee machine at home and search out the best of the best. You walk into a little cafe with promise in South Shields and are served the very best cappuccino you have ever had. Just get in there and tell me I'm wrong. These guys are the real thing, and I can't wait for tomorrow morning to go again.

Ristorante Bravilocation-icon7 North StreetItalian

Booked for Sunday lunch so the menu was very limited. I opted for the prawn and melon cocktail and roast beef and hubby selected mushroom bruschetta and the chefs special seafood pasta. The starters were OK, hubby liked his, mine was pleasant but no piquancy to the sauce, very bland. As for the mains, the roast was average, the mash was lumpy (reminiscent of school dinners) and the roasties were greasy instead of crispy. The mussels in the pasta were chewy. The service was good, staff were chatty and friendly. However I did notice several elderly people who had obvious mobility issues struggling up and down the challenging flight of stairs yet not one member of staff pointed out the lift to them! The lift is not visible from the restaurant floor and we certainly did not notice it on entry as the stairs and restaurant grab your attention. I think the staff should be more aware of their customers issues and perhaps some clear signage in the foyer wouldn't come amiss?

Fortunate to have this lovely restaurant in walking distance of us. Very friendly owners are always welcoming. Food always nicely cooked and tasty. Lots of favourites on the menu. Not had a bad meal here. Service is usually quick, first couple of times in the government deal a bit slow as suddenly had weekend numbers of people coming in but now much better. Nice specials. Highly recommended.
