Cinatras in North Tyneside

4 of us visited this small, but welcoming restaurant , part of the Dorset Arms Hotel.The food was well prepared and presented by our lovely waitress ( Rebecca). The service was good and the price very reasonable. A very good house white wine complemented the Chicken dishes. Well worth a visit, we will certainly return in the future.

Visited tonight. Mango chicken - no mango.napoli pizza - salty as hell! Safe to say we won't be back. Waitress - I would like to say she was rushed off her feet but I really can't. Safe to say we won't be returning.

Even though the food was OK service didn't exist even had t wait 15 for a drink almost finished the wine when the starter arrived. We were the only people there on a Thursday night

The food was disgusting, the pasta was awful, as soon as the food came into the dining room there was a smell of cleaning fluid & the food also tasted of it too. Worst meal I’ve ever had!!! Will never go back

Food and atmosphere is great and economical, make a reservation to make sure you get a table. I like the chicken and prawn curry, I have it with rice and chips it's so creamy. All of the deserts are home made, including the cakes absolutely beautiful, my favourite starter is the mussels served in a garlic and wine sauce with bread.

We came for a Sunday lunch and were treated to a very hearty plateful of yumminess. We were greeted warmly by Stan and the service was attentive. Even with my challenging dietary requirements. The outside area is deceptively large and there were quite a few kids having a ball in the play area.

Called in for a family meal and yet again left over the moon. Great service, great food, great value and great friendly staff. Beautiful scenery and well kept garden's

Eating here is always a tasty treat! We come quite often and see familar faces in both staff and customers. Our treat this time was from the special menu which is sometimes available; we had home made minestrone soup and belly pork with black pudding as our starters (the soup is always available on the normal menu, belly pork is on the special menu). Because Ive had it before I know the soup is home made from scratch and has big chunky veg in with just the right taste. The belly pork was to die for with crackling separate, lovely black pudding and a gorgeous creamy sauce. For mains we both had beef stroganoff from the special menu. I asked for it without mushroom and the chef was flexible enough to be able to do that for me. Loads of tasty strips of lean tender beef in sauce served with boiled rice. Extremely tasty! As we werent having dessert we also had a bowl of their gotgeous hand cut chunky chips to share as a side dish. A fantastic meal. For people wanting great value for money the "lunchtime special" is still served till 6pm which is the same minstrone soup or hand cut potato skins, any pizza or pasta from the main menu and ice cream or coffee all for £5.95. Absolutely amazing value, and cheaper than most takeaways!

Visited for carvery today and it was absolutely spot on. The veg was cooked spot on, lovely Yorkie and nice thick gravy. Couldn't fault it

Just perfect everything you could want fabulous food Attentive staff The food is cooked to high standard Staff can't do enough to help you If you get the chance go for food you won't be disappointed

working just round the corner i was over the moon to find this place, went for lunch with friends, we all had the 3 course special plus a drink at less than a tenna per person, definitely will be Back

Fantastic food prepared to your order. The quality and value are astounding with three courses for £5.95 its cheaper than a fast food takeaway and much better for you. All of the staff without exception are friendly and efficient. In a nutshell Cinatras is the best place to eat for miles around and we have many Italian restaurants some of whom match the price but cant touch the quality and service, then when you add in the beautifully kept gardens and aviary this really is a gorgeous place to eat.

Smallish well decorated restaurant with patio doors leading out to a great patio and garden. Stan and his staff are really friendly and cannot do enough for you. Food is excellent Italian value for money with portions larger than average well presented and cooked. Try to you will not be disappointed.

Went to Cinatras for an anniversary meal with my husband we spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The food was delicious and the staff could not have been more helpful. We will definitely return. We chose this restaurant because we had our wedding reception there at Dorset Arms 48 years ago it was such a shame we didn't return sooner.

Booked in to hotel so tried the food all I can say is wow really good value for money. Food had that home cooked taste piping hot fresh and very tasty.

Tried a number of items from the menu at different days and times and the food and service are always superb.

This was our first visit for my wife and I to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We opted for the 3 course special which was a choice of minestrone soup or potatoes skins followed by a choice of pizza or pasta and to follow a choice of ice cream or coffee or you could opt for cake and pay an extra £1. We placed our order for potato skins with salad and two dips which when arrived were a plate full (as per photograph) This has to be the largest potato skin starter we have had. For our main course my wife ordered a margarita pizza with mushrooms and I ordered a lucifer pizza. Both of which were plentiful with toppings and tasty. The pizza base however was more like a pastry than a dough but still very nice. Coffee for our 3rd course was very nice. Service was perfect and you were left to enjoy your meal. The restaurant was clean and tidy and we'll presented however the table cloths gave the impression that you were more in a cafe than a restaurant so possible for a change of table clothes to white would be nice and the flowers on the tables replaced with a candle in a bottle to give that more Italian feel. I know that this restaurant must double up as the breakfast area for people staying at the Dorset Arms Hotel. Good facilities for disabled access also the disabled toilet does have baby changing facilities. A high chair is present in the dining area. Good value for money 3 course special £5.95 choice of wines and draft larger. If you have not been here before we would recommend.

Outstanding value and service. Visited with 5 friends, we had a great evening, very friendly staff and 6 empty plates. Definitely will return.

Meal I had was a bit bland , the pizzas seem to be poplular but wanted a decent meal after a long day and didnt get it unfortunately

Quality and service very good.had a very good meal and will be coming back in the near future. All the family agreed how the food was top quality and this is a very good place to eat.

I've eaten Pizza all over Italy and all over the world and the pizza I had here was a good as any of them. And cheap too! I had to do a double take at the prices. Well worth a visit.

This restaurant is part of the Dorset Arms pub and it's a lot better than you'd expect from looking at the pub and its bar. It probably only really deserves 3 blobs, but I was so pleased to find somewhere decent to eat in Wallsend, and the staff were so pleasant, it gets 4.

We've been here a few times and I've recommended this place to others too as you would be hard pushed to find better quality for the same price within several miles. The restaurant is inside the Dorset Arms pub/hotel with a nice garden and some owls and doves at the back which is great for keeping the kids entertained before or after their food.

We gave the chef a standing ovation after he had cooked us our meal. It was our last day if walking Hadrian's wall and we were staying at the Dorset Arms. The food we had was all freshly made and cooked beautifully, the best sea food pizza I have had in years and my companions meals of salmon risotto and carbonara were excellent too.

Fabulous food.. Scallop starter, mussels in tomato chilli sauce then king prawn cinatras. Couldn't fault it and have to mention front of house staff Courtney. Lovely girl very helpful and attentive. will definitely be back.

Really impressed with the food, we did have a bit of a wait but that was fine because the weather was beautiful and we sat outside. There was also a bouncy castle for the kids really happy well worth a visit.

Good food excellent surroundings in a local area. Try this for your Sunday carvery or try the Italian menu at any time. 3 course miweek lunch a must

great choice of well cooked food and terrific value - ate on a Saturday night as part of our stay at the Dorset Arms - All 5 of us very impressed.

Fantastic meal, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Great restaurant within a good pub, floral displays in the grounds fantastic.

Very friendly waitress who coped well with quite a large party who ordered various dishes.Food was well presented and extremely good value

Booked meal for 215 ,sat down ,No meat,Yorkshire puddings, no mash no carrots ,waited over an hour before the food was ready and we weren't the only ones ,very disappointed as only 2 wks before we had our meal and it was lovely, wont b going back again

We often eat here and its never disappointing. Prices and the quality of the food are unbeatable with 3 courses for 4.95 a head.

Came here a few weeks ago for big family Sunday roast. Absolutely delicious! Also experienced the 3 course special a couple of days ago. Beautiful authentic properly cooked pizza and stunning pastas. Definitely will return and well recommended.

Popped into cinatras after hearing good reports and wasn't disappointed , went for straight to main course, I had the sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce which was spot on , my partner had seafood platter of sea bass ,salmon, swordfish , prawns and mussels which she said was lovely. We saw pizzas coming out that look very nice , so will be returning to try them .
