Chiara Sambuca in North Tyneside

Great food. Friendly service. Was £52 for a ribeye steak and parmo meal + bottle of house red .

The speed of service is great however while the food was hot and fresh it did feel a little bit fast food service to eat and be out within 40 minutes.

It was fab grub. No complaints from me. Oh yeah fillet steak was not medium . Rare in the middle but I still enjoyed 😉

Food was great got the hot smash burger was good the sauce and the fresh chillis made it perfect 👌🏼

I absolutely love the place... food is always awesome, and the staff are at the top of their game... great place to have a quiet birthday 😂🥳

Gorgeous steak on the three course special and the house wine is good too. Service is great and everyone is really friendly and helpful.

The food was amazing as always and the staff are always friendly and welcoming...

Food was OK but not great. One of 7 of us was ill. Probably the prawns off the starter. Staff were great. Chicken Kiev wasn't great. Dry butterfly chicken breast wasn't nice. Chips were amazing.

Food is always great, service fab, just wish they’d turn down the music as it’s often difficult to hold a conversation. (Can be off putting to neurodivergent families)

Bring my kids here regularly and they're always asking to come back. We all love it!

First class service. Excellent food. Great value for money.

Went here with my friend for lunch. Lovely atmosphere staff made us feel very welcome. Great service highly recommend this place

Always good atmosphere and great food.

Great food and great service would definitely go back

Fabulous place lovely staff & excellent food 🦞🍤👍👍👍❤️

A bit noisy. Food ok but none of us finished it. Much prefer the west allotment sambucas.

Music too loud. Food and service excellent.

This place is fantastic food marvellous been there a few time we will always go back next time were in the north as we don't like in the North

meal was superb..couldnt fault it.

Does what it says for lunch time special can't complain. Would have been nice to hear the person across from me though , what with loud music and screaming young waitress running around ...

Good food and attentive staff. Reasonably good price.

Delicious meal, good happy hour prices. Staff attentive, thank you

Delicious Sunday Roast & seafood pizza. Attentative staff and, most importantly, great value for money.

The staff are brilliant the food excellent and the vino ace. All very very reasonably priced.

A lovely family meal for my great grandson's birthday. The staff were great and so was the food .

Music too loud to have a conversation, staff lovely, food good.

I am a fish lover ( to eat that is😀) and this is the best ever. The mussels are sooo fresh and perfectly cooked plus amazing steak for the meat eaters. The service is faultless with mostly young staff who are very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Great wine and drinks selection just to add to the amazing food. Just go and try it . You won't be disappointed ❤️.

Had lunch with my family. What a lovely meal for £7.95. The mushroom pizza was delicious. Certainly by far the best Sambucca we have ever been. Well done.

Didn’t cater for vegans even though we phoned and they say they did.only option was soup so i had a pizza base with tomato sauce and garlic sprinkles .didn’t have any vegan desserts .they also charge extra for gluten free pizza bases which is out of order .there was bad delivery to table and brought there wrong ones to the table .

Beautiful food as always. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Great atmosphere & food. Staff very pleasant. Great place at the North Shields Quayside.

Staff are very friendly and the food is spot on

I have visited Cassia many times over the years with friends and family. I recently went with my partner and felt disappointed. Usually, the staff are more interactive. However when our order was taken he didn't look at us was to busy looking around no interaction at all. Felt very rushed with the food arriving quickly and empty plates whisked away. The food was as always very good and delicious. I'm not sure I will be rushing back...

Service wasn’t great, waiters kept forgetting drinks so had to ask again. Waiter nearly took one of my friends tooth out when lifting dishes. And to top it off, we were charged for an extra pasta dish and drink that we didn’t have but staff were adamant we underpaid. Our bill was £152.15. Our payments didn’t balance with what they had took and we were made to feel embarrassed. When we have left and sat down to work it out, we figured out the extra charges but didn’t want to deal with poor service again.

Sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Essen und ging auch sehr schnell. Warum keine 5 Sterne? Weil ich verdammt noch mal britisches Bier zum Essen haben möchte. Schließlich sind wir hier in England und nicht in Irland oder Italien. Ok, ist ein italienisches Restaurant, das immerhin auch spezielle englische Gerichte auf der Speisekarte hat...

Delicious food well presented. Whole experience felt very rushed and inpersonal. Was seated and served my food within 10 minutes of everything no chance to sit and relax and enjoy my experience. Waiter was very blunt and uncaring only interested in flipping the table as quickly as possible. Not the style of experience I'm interested in felt like they only saw a bill and not a couple trying to enjoy a intimate meal together on a Saturday afternoon. Will not be back unless I need fed in record time and turfed out.

Amazing food and amazing experience would definitely recommend

Great value tasty food .Service excellent.

Delicious food and good drink Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Always excellent service lush food

Really nice Italian cuisine at great prices. You can't go wrong.

Great food friendly quick service 😊

Friendly staff, excellent service and tasty food.

Staff here are amazing! My favourite sambuca staff for sure! So happy and so lovely. I had such a great night 😊 even though I was mortified they sang me happy birthday haha x

Lovely child friendly, lively atmosphere will return.

Fabulous seafood dishes. Loved how they managed to make it work

Great food at really good prices. Friendly atmosphere too

Enjoyed the food, good staff, its sambuca's

Food fab as always but 4 birthdays was one too many very noisy night lol

The worst sambuca we've been in...tables who came in after us being served first ( must have lost our order) being asked what we were waiting for so this was obvious. Food was just OK although the garlic bread was paper thin it resembled a popadom. Nobody asked how the food was during our meal. We much prefer the chester le street and Newcastle sambuca, staff are far more attentive and food much better. Wouldn't recommend maybe try sambuca 1 a few doors down.

Fantastic Italian restaurant with a good range on menu and specials. Delicious food at a sensible price. Staff were friendly and welcoming..

Service was good but the Bolanagse sauce had no flavour

We had the best table service! The guy was great

Food, service and atmosphere is always the best.

All groups value and great food

Enjoyed the food here. Service is quick and the food is cheap. Will be definitely be back

Always busy but have never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. As reliable as ever, good quality and excellent value for money especially during afternoon/early evening specials.

Lovely staff especially curly he's so easy to wind up

Lovely cheap and cheerful Italians with friendly staff. Cannot be robbed for the prices and service was quick and god dam efficient,big up the Bucas.

Great Lunch time special which was really nice and great value. Nice pleasant staff. Recommended.

This pub/restaurant is on North Shields Fish Quay. We had the three course lunch special which was just under £8 each. We had potato skins and dips to start. Then two of us had pizza and one had pasta. We all finished off with coffee. All were really nice (and hot). Staff were helpful. It was really busy for a Tuesday lunchtime. We are often in North Shields/Tynemouth so will probably eat here again.

We've been enjoying Cassia Sambuca for ever, how long now? Since it opened! Never had a bad meal, never had anything but perfect service! It's getting better with age, gracie Danny and staff x

Great food friendly waiters make you feel at home and funny keep you entertained

The food was delicious and vary reasonably priced. The waiters where fantastic. Made us vary welcome. My grandson loved all attention they gave him.

Wonderful evening with grandchildren.vegan option available.Staff friendly and helpful.My favourite place to go❤👍👏

Loved it 👍 absolutely Fab 🥳 service and food was second to none. My wife who has been a few times with friends had been trying to get me to go to Sambucas for ages and I will certainly be going back.

Fantastic restaurant very good value for money. Food was amazing, staff and service excellent. Staff had a great sense of humour, I would totally recommend a visit.

Portions were very small and food was sloppily tossed onto the plate. Starters were nice but tiny. Meat was soft on Sunday Dinner but vegetables very bland. Pizza was nice but a touch oily. Friendly staff.

Vibrant, lively place to enjoy a well presented, tasty meal. Menu varied and reasonably priced.

Always a very warm welcoming from the staff, especially creating an inclusive family atmosphere, especially for young persons birthday. Nothing is ever too much for the waiting staff they are all friendly and attentive. The food is always cooked well. No hesitation in recommending this venue as a place to take your family or a couple for a meal at lunch or dinner.

Very accommodating on a very busy night. Cosy and lively atmosphere. Great food and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing food, the is definitely the best Sambuca. Lovely friendly staff definitely recommend

3 course lunchtime special with a couple of drinks got two. 20 quid. What more can you ask for

Not bad family party but food pretty ordinary. The pizzas looked good though

The food & service are always great, but I can't be done with the noise.

Very nice food, staff very attentive and couldn’t do enough for you. See you again soon

Fast and friendly service. Food always good

I had sea bass from special menu. Very nice. Staff lovely

Very good service, extremely fast and efficient. Dinner was of very good quality and both the chicken lamb were delicious. Very good value for money and a good friendly atmosphere. 👍
