Deano's Trattoria in Gateshead

A rainy night on Tyneside considerably brightened by our experience at Deanos. If the table hadn't been booked we likely wouldn't have bothered, but pleased we did. Nothing was too much trouble for our server Anna who deserves special mention. The meals were very good, and according to the 9yr old member of the group his Bolognaise pizza was the best ever. The seven empty plates, apart from the kids pizza crusts, spoke volumes. Never had a bad meal here before and tonight kept that record up.

I had been wanting to try the Tuesday night buffet for ages. I thought that if there was quite a few dishes to try I could try something new and see if I liked it or not. The starters were really nice but I did think there would be more choice of main dishes to try. There was only 2 I tried as I don't like hot dishes. I think even adding a couple more dishes would be good. But it was still good value and still had a great night.

I really enjoyed my experience here, I found the staff very friendly and approachable.the food was lovely and excellent value and not a bad glass of red either, I'll definitely return

Just been in for a meal with the family. All ordered various meals (steaks/chicken/risotto/kids meals) and all were cooked to perfection. I'm always weary of ordering steak when out as dread it coming and being too fatty or not cooked as we like it. Never a problem in Deanos. Clear plates all round and room for dessert too!!

The restaurant decor is very cute and very cozy. The menu is reasonably priced and meets the expectations of the price. Although, great for the price, the food was a little bland - I ordered the carbonara and it was very oily - the butter was separating on my plate from the sauce. As a starter, I ordered the "Mediterranean toasted bread with cheese" which was just a baguette with melted cheese. For two courses for £9 or something like that, you cannot go wrong however there are better Italian restaurants.

OK food but the waitress forgot parts of the order so we had to wait some time. We had give message twice after the original order that we were still waiting on all the food.

Girlie ( 50 somethings!😉) gathering! Ambience was laid back. Clean and welcoming. Efficient and friendly staff. We all chose different dishes, but all agreed the food was decent quality and plentiful. All plates were cleared, so that's a good indicator! Will be back for sure!

fantastic food tonight I will be back the staff are nice and friendly and the food game pretty quickly served nice and fresh I would recommend this to anyone

Booked table for 6 people at 630pm, we were told no other tables were reserved, so expected service to be pretty quick. The restaurant had loads of walk ins, so became busier quite quickly. We were served our drinks within about 15 minutes, but starters never arrived for a further 45 minutes. We weren’t too bothered because we were chatting anyway. Main meals were served about 40 minutes later, except for one meal, this was delayed a further 15 minutes. Not sure why it was so late. However, the food was delicious so no complaints there. Very good value £7.95 for 2 courses; the drinks however were more expensive £2.50 for lime & soda !! Lovely restaurant, will probably come again because food is so good.

Last Saturday, my sister was set the task of organising a family dinner for 13 on very short notice to welcome our family members from South Africa. No small task. We settled on this place due to location and reputation. My family were seated and I was late (as usual) but our lovey server Ian was super fast getting me sat down so we could take advantage of the special that night. Now, for a restaurant to do a special on a Saturday is pretty rare and to honour it when it could have easily been refused was the first step in the right direction for me. Ian was on the drinks in a second and went above and beyond to find a non alcohol beverage that wasn't a soft drink for my husband. He even asked advice from my self and my son (who works for Fenwick food and beverage) to find out all he could between low alcohol and no alcohol, which showed he is very passionate about his roll. Orders were taken swiftly (not everyone ordered from the special menu but it was incredibly well priced at less than £8 for 2 courses) and our food was delivered in good time, drinks were offered by a young man helping our table and he was super efficient and patient with us. Our food was lovely. Hot, fresh and tasty. No complaints at all. We had a slight mix up with a steak dish, Ian was completely transparent about the issue and had it rectified in record time. We were kept topped up and checked on regularly but not intrusive in the slightest. The restaurant is traditional, friendly and comfortable. As a group of 13, we were perfectly comfortable. The cost was at a few hundred pounds and we were more than happy with that. This was not my first visit. I have been with my sister and father for lunch a few times in quieter afternoons. We would never have known it was Saturday night at the busiest time, we were not rushed and felt very welcome. Ians service could not be falted. If I owned a restaurant, I would be happy to have him in a role as an instructor and mentor to team members. Thank you for a lovely night, we will definitely be using you again for family dinner!

The staff were amazing as always. The quality of the food for the price is second to none and right on our door step we come at least once a week. Thank you for a lively evening and hats off to the chefs

It was ok, we have been before and it's been lovely but this time portions are visibly smaller, the £7.95 deal is good value but the main menu less so. Steak was ok nice enough but nothing fantastic. The waitress we had was lovely though very friendly

Had arrived in Newcastle for the night and had went to see if we could get serviced. At first they advised that they were booked but minutes later, the charming gentleman sorry we never got your name said he had found a table but would need to leave in 90 minutes as was booked. We can not thank you enough for going out your way to fit us in. Menu amazing and great value for money with 2 courses for £7.95. Definitely recommend the black pudding for starter and my partner loved the homemade soup. We all had pasta which was perfect. I would go back next time we are in the area.

First visit in ages since lockdown. Meal lovely as always . Served by a very professional lovely waiter called Harry.

Excellent atmosphere and service! Such a great change actually being able to have gluten free options - most other Italian restraunts I've been to recently, advertise them, then never have any! So thank you Deano's, really enjoyed the food.

I was meeting a friend for lunch and we decided to try Deano’s. The waitress was helpful and promptly showed us to a table. We were handed a menu each which clearly said there was a 2 course special offer. There was a choice of...

Absolutely love this place it’s always consistently good and Ian is such a hoot and always takes great care of us! The seabass tonight was absolutely delicious- well done David - as was the wine! It’s been a while since we’ve been and we had...

Visited this restaurant whilst staying in the village, don’t let the cheap prices put you off as we found the food to be very good quality. As we wanted a leisurely evening had 3 courses Bruschetta and mushroom starter, chicken fillet with spaghetti and pizza...

Really disappointed to be honest. Before Covid, we always celebrated our (5) children's birthdays here. Today was our first time since 2019. We weren't given a drinks menu. Had to guess what we wanted, wine was awful. Starters: Garlic prawns still had the intestinal tract...

Deano’s is our go-to Italian restaurant. Despite it being low-priced, the quality of the food is excellent. I have taken many visiting friends from out of town and they are always blown away by the quality of food versus the price. The restaurant itself is...

This is a tremendously welcoming and friendly local Italian restaurant that provides delicious and affordable food in a comfortable and relaxed setting. I have been visiting this restaurant repeatedly for a long time and see it as a home from home when looking for a...

I will be honest, Deano's is walking distance from us and we really enjoy going there for a good meal. Food is good and service is good. Due to what happened about two weeks ago and because no one has yet to call me back...

Love it here. Always a cheap and cheerful place to go. We used to visit a lot when we lived in Swalwell but try and pop in now and again when passing. Pasta is always gorgeous! Haven’t visited since a few weeks before lockdown but...

Good food and a spacious restaurant. Downside it can get noisy when busy due to the openness of the restaurant.

Great food and service ! Lauren is fantastic so pleasant , they let us put balloons up and we had a cake

Happy with the food, the service from staff was excellent, and gluten free options available for me was great.

Fast, efficient, cost effective, pleasant staff.... What's not to love? Oh the food..... Outstanding pizzas

Loved this venue. They have put prices up but I suppose it's no more expensive than anything similar in the area. Good service and food quality is excellent!

Had a lovely meal here last night. The restaurant was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. Staff, although busy, made time to be welcoming and friendly, and always go the extra mile. The food was delicious and the steak was done to perfection! Well done...

Always excellent food. staff great Atmosphere always pleasant and busy without being uncomfortable well worth a visit

Food lovely, garlic mushrooms very tasty , pizzas nice and thin, only niggles, knives do not cut pizzas very well , and chairs so hard need cushions, my back was killing me

We found this place later on in the Summer and have been a few times since. It can get busy here so I'd advise to book. Nice location as Whickham is a lovely place and Deano's has become one of our top Italian restaurants to...

Had a really nice dinner here. Good value with happy hour. My cheeseless Hawaii pizza was food as was my partner's pasta. Quick and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

First time visit here not the last , plenty of specials on offer, At bargain prices. My pizza was very tasty thin crust and quite large,plus my black pudding starter came with peppercorn sauce and bread, If early arrival between 5pm and 7 pm you...

We have just been introduced to Deano’s and what a little gem, great menu at amazing prices. Staff have been good when we have gone no issues, my only two little niggles but easy to fix, they need some sharper knives for the pizzas and...

Decided to go out and celebrate so we didn't have a booking. Full when we arrived but the staff managed to fit us in with no fuss at all. Food, service and atmosphere fantastic as always and nothing is a problem. Always just a bit...

We haven't eaten at Deanos for a while but went today for my daughter's birthday. She took some friends and us. We really couldn't fault it. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Nothing was any trouble at all. The food was great too. Even...

We visited here as a family for my grandsons birthday. The delicious food was served very quickly by a very pleasant waitress. Wii definitely return.

Excellent customer service. Great value for money for a family. However it was missing the true Italian flavours. Average Italian.

Soup was advertised as minestrone but comprises of only peppers and huge chunks of Potato. Ordered a Ribeye (med/rare), it arrived charred past well-done and covered in oily onions that had been cooked medium-rare (no pun intended, they were almost raw). When explaining my dissatisfaction...

Looking for Fabulous food & fabulous service, Deano's has it all. Highly recommend 🥂🥂🥂 Simple Amazing thank you 👌🏻👌🏻

We had a lovely meal here at the last minute. It was really nice of them to squeeze us in and despite there being big parties in, our food was fast and delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Could not fault the place. The food was so cheap but so nice. Staff were excellent, so welcoming and helpful. Will 110% return!

Excellent Food & you can create your very own Pizza, we went here for a second time & very glad we did, it was an excellent night & the food complimented this very nicely.

Our grandson loves Deano's he calls it Rhinos lol here for his 8th birthday, lovely food staff very friendly who made his night thanks,

Came here with sister today. Service was great and food even better! 3 courses£4.95 what’s not to like!!!

Deanos is a great place to eat, the food is great, the staff are really nice too (especially Ian & Lauren) I've never eaten anything I didn't think was 100% spot on here. The food is always freshly cooked to order & piping hot, with...

Had chicken in Gorgonzola sauce with rice. Absolutely beautiful. It was melt in your mouth. Normally opt for pizza or pasta but fancied a change. Always a nice atmosphere.

Came in for lunch, greeted by friendly staff. Menu has deals on so you can get 3 courses for £6.50! Service was quick and food was good.

We went as two couples and we all ordered different dishes and everyone was very tasty. Staff nice and pleasant, would go again when in the area.

A few Italians in the area, and we try visit them when looking for a good value meal without breaking the bank. Carbonara very good, as is bolognese pizza. Very well priced for the food you get!

Just visited here. First time in over a year. Fantastic value for money on the special menu. Only getting four stars as the peppercorn sauce was a little bit bland. Service was great

Came here to night for a little get together with family haven’t visited for a while. Now I remember why extremely noisy couldn’t have a conversation without shouting at each other loads of kids / babies in high chair s. , service was quick and...

The first time we’ve been here, and we will be back. Excellent food cooked to perfection, The best king prawns in garlic I’ve ever had not over cooked. Mussels in tomato, garlic and chilli sauce was lovely. My wife said her fillet steak, surf and...

We visited Deanos on 17th November with a large group to celebrate a special birthday. It didn't disappoint. We were offered drinks immediately and our food arrived really quickly, given that we were a large party. I can highly recommend the Fillet Steak Mexicano. It...

Turned out to be a very cheap evening as they were waiting for their alcohol licence to be renewed!! So went next door to Tesco for wine. Pizza great-as usual- and my friend who has recently developed celiac's disease had the gluten free pasta. Both...

Honestly taken aback by Kelly’s service. Such an amazing night, all thanks to her top class social skills. Not only was she funny and entertaining, she also made sure we were having a good time and that we were enjoying our food. 10/10 would come...

Lovely food from lovely servers. Our waitress, kelly, ensured that we had everything we needed for our night. Many thanks!

Definitely recommend. Our waiter Kelly was the best waiter i have had. So kind and made my meal such an enjoyment. Made sure i got home safe, which was so kind of her. Amazing food, and great service.

Served by Kelly tonight and she’s got brill customer service skills and is a great laugh! Friendly waiter and makes you feel welcome! Defo coming again!

We were a group of 6, 3 adults and 3 children. Well what can I say..... firstly we were treated like family/royalty by Ian and Kelly ❤️ they made our night. The food was absolutely beautiful - I would recommend the fillet steak!!!! We must...

I have visited Deanos for quite a few years and left positive reviews a few years ago . The staff were always friendly, the food was good and it was reasonably priced. We attended in a large group for my Sons Birthday and the visit...

Went as a family group on a Sunday lunch time. The Sunday roast was beautiful. They had the lunch time Italian special on which is unusual for a Sunday. This was excellent value. They were slightly on the slow side but wasn't really problem.

Had a lovely evening at Deano’s, food was really nice, great value for money! There was a singer on, atmosphere was great. Thanks for a fab night and great service off Ian

Visited recently on a Friday evening ,haven't been here in a while ,pasta was just as nice but portion size a bit smaller than I remember .

The best Italian restaurant! You get a proper welcome even with a lively 4 yr old! The staff are excellent and friendly plus the food is delicious and great value. It’s our new favourite place ⭐️

Just moved to the area and needed food to eat on top of card board boxes and this was just around the corner. Used the happy hour deal for a Bolognese pizza and a pepperoni; the value was outstanding. Pizza was nice and thin with...

This restaurant has fantastic staff and amazing atmosphere. We have dined here almost every week and always great. Some people next to us tonight found cause to complain about almost everything which was completely unfounded and unfair. I’m not going into details but the complaint...

First of to say the first time I reviewed this place the sound system was horrible and spoiled the whole experience. Either it has been renewed or we were unlucky last time. Since then We have made this place our local restaurant. Staff are really...

Ian is the most amazing waiter to match the outstanding food. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I am definitely coming back

Just visited Deanos in Whickham for the first time tonight. We had a gorgeous meal in really nice surroundings with lovely attentive staff. Will definitely return and recommend to family and friends. Looking forward to Sunday lunch there. Thanks to everyone.

Nice food but the staff are always rushing you. You put your knife and fork down and they instantly take your plate away. We had a starter and main course and were in and out in under 40 minutes because they obviously want the tables...

This is cheap & cheerful for happy hour. Food is great, service is great too. It does get very busy but this all adds to the atmosphere. Would highly recommend Deano's

Called for lunch on a cold day. We chose the lunchtime special offer 3 courses for £4.50 and had potato skins followed by pasta and coffee. Skins were good (I prefer mine a bit more crispy, but thats just my preference) and the pasta well...

I came here on a Sunday after deciding to give it one last try, there wasn’t much dinners left so decided to get pizza. After eating my starter I got my pizza boxed up & took home only when I opened the box I was...

Amazing food and service at amazing prices! The staff are always extremely friendly and welcoming. Food is always served within a reasonable time and is amazing quality for being so cheap! Would 100% recommend.

We visited here for a last minute trip out for tea as it is a few minutes walk along from home. Firstly we weren’t given any menus then the starters were such small portions & we were shocked. We got potato skins and there was...

Went for a pizza on Friday at 7pm, the restaurant was very busy and you wouldn’t have gotten a table without pre booking. The restaurant was very noisy but that was probably due to the fact that it was a Friday and the school holidays...

As a group of six 3 women and 3 girls we were treated like royalty by Kelly, food was out of this world and Ian made us feel like long lost friends xxx we will be back you guys are the best!!!! Xx

First off all I can say is service was lovely and personally my pizza was great but unfortunately my partners salmon was raw on the first try and when a fresh one was returned it was the smallest peices off sale on ever the chef...

Great place to go for a cheap and tasty meal. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. We went as a group of 7 and everyone was happy with there meals. Only down side is that some of the coffee's we ordered after our meals...

Had a nice time here. Didn’t catch the happy hour which looks very good value but for the price was happy - it’s not amazing food by any means but we had a good time.

Deanos is a good honest experience. Catch it during its happy hours and it is very cheap, but even otherwise it’s not exactly expensive. What you get won’t revolutionise your life, food and decor are not stand out but is honest for what you get....

I always go to Deanos for family occasions and this time I was with my son and his girlfriend and my daughter and her husband. We chose a selection of starters which were all very tasty - and the portions were adequate. The food arrived...

Ate here as a group of 19 yesterday for a family birthday. Food was very good and the service was excellent, everyone there was very impressed. It cant be easy catering for such a large group in the way that they did.Thank you, I can...

We came to Dino's as a family to celebrate my 30th Birthday. The restaurant is very nice inside. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The food was tremendous and very reasonably priced! And to top it off at the end of the night to my surprise (cheers sis) the staff sang happy birthday to me and I was given some delicious cheese cake. Will definitely be returning to Deano's!

Me and my partner went for a meal here and were not disappointed! There was lots of options on the menu which all sound lovely and the food was great! Very busy when we were there however they didn't take long in serving us. Not...

When the children choose this is where we go. Always spaces and the food is phenominally cheap yet good quality. I might not go on a date here but as an Italian for the family to enjoy (and not break the bank) choose Deanos
