Di Sopra in Northumberland

Had an amazing meal at Di Sopra earlier this week. After having our booking cancelled by another restaurant, Di Sopra were amazing and able to fit us in without a reservation. The food was to die for and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Alnwick.

Really nice place with good prices and good portions. Upstairs from the high street (two sets of stairs with no lift) and a bit dated in decor but with stellar food and service

Visited Alnwick gardens and decided to stay for food in Alnwick. We chose here after reading good reviews. We were expecting it to be busy as it was the kids holidays but it was quiet. However this didn't stop the waitress ignoring us for 10 mins whilst colouring something. Eventually we got sat down and waited another 15 minutes to order drinks as both servers were talking at the bar. We ordered food at the same time as the drinks in fear of waiting even more time to get the order taken. The garlic mushroom starter were swimming in greasy sauce and tasted boiled. The pizza came out uncut this normally wouldn't be an issue but there was rhat much cheese on the diavola pizza all the toppings were pulled off by the cheese when cutting it with rhe blunt knife I had at the table. Pizza base was tasteless and couldn't be ate unless using a knife and fork because of the amount of cheese. We skipped desserts as we had to get the little one back home after waiting far to long to get served

First time visiting was recommended and what a recommendation lovely food lovely service and atmosphere will be back and will tell friends and family thank you for a fantastic evening

Amazing food, excellent staff and a great price 👍🏻

Quiet restaurant but not speedy service

Visited several times in the past, and pleased to say, it's still pretty much as good as ever. Very pleasant staff and a great atmosphere. It was busy as usual but we had booked in advance. We were seated with minimal delay and well looked after. Great to see smiling staff. There is a good selection of dishes available so should be something that would suit everyone. The fried calamari is a particular favourite of mine and this did not fail to please. Whilst not a criticism, I prefer a little more garlic in the mayo, but still very tasty. Prosciutto E Funghi pizza with a thin crust was nice. Though not quite as crisp as we would have liked. Nevertheless it was tasty. Pollo Saltimbocca was very good, lovely moist chicken and a very nice garlic sauce. Served with some excellent fries. Portion size was good and priced very reasonably. Various wines and beers available, the Peroni went down well. Would be very happy to recommend and will be back.

On holiday for a few days in the area ,this restaurant and staff are fabulous food is superb and portions are just right , we had a starter and main ,we were so full there was no room for a dessert,our loss I reckon , we will be back as this was our second visit and was as good as the first time we came a couple of years ago ,keep up the good work.

Great food! We had the gnocchi and the calzone (not together)! They were both excellent, very hot when they arrived, which was not very long after we ordered. It was also great value. If you want a great meal in Alnwick you couldn't do better than Di Sopra!

We enjoyed a creamy pasta dish with salmon, prawns and tomato, followed by a cappucino (generous chocolate on top!). The restaurant atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Perfect for a pre-theatre dinner. Very friendly staff delicious authentic Italian food and generous portions. Great deal up to 6pm. Spotlessly clean. We'll definitely go back!

Large party in centre of room extremely noisy and at one point screaming. Unable to have any conversation. Did ask if this could be resolved and told by the supervisor that they were having a nice time and were regulars. Food ok but pizza very sloppy. Overall experience not good and would not go back

Fantastic meal.Huge portions.Each main bg enough for two people.Good value for money. Highly recommended would go there again

Came here on a Saturday night while staying in Alnwick for three nights because of good Tripadvisor reviews, and so glad we did. Despite being very busy, including a large family party, the staff did a great job. Pizzas were delicious, wines by the glass very enjoyable and reasonably priced . Very glad we booked, probably wouldn't have got a table if we hadn't. The only disappointment was that they are closed on Sundays, so we couldn't go back !

Very popular local trattoria which fitted us in via a cancellation. Food was good but not spectacular, service was excellent. We would go regularly if we lived in Alnwick.

2nd visit, food excellent again , lovely staff & very reasonable prices

A lovely 3 course meal followed by a nice coffee. Food arrived hot and prompt exactly how we’d expected from reading the menu. Service was a touch slow and I had to interrupt a waitress to order coffee as I’d sat patiently waiting for the ‘is there anything else I can get you?’ question too long. Staff however were very polite.

One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time, starter was great & main course seafood risotto was superb, prices reasonable & even price of drinks cheaper then anywhere around Alnwick, Berwick, we’ve already booked to go again

Booked a table for 2. Friendly and helpful staff, good service and food. Very big portions so took home for another meal and enjoyed it twice🙂

The food here is delicious and spot on for a great price. Always satisfied.. staff always very friendly, attentive, if you are visiting Alnwick you must try here it won’t disappoint.

Lovely Italian with usual fare plus some novel choices. Had chicken with peppercorn sauce. Great service for our party of ten. Book to make sure of a table. Tasty and large portions.

Brilliant little gem! We came to stay at Alnwick and on exploring the town we walked past the entrance and read the menu which looked good, we bumped into some friends who had been the night before and recommend it so we went. Well it was brilliant a lovely cosy Italian, the pizzas rank amongst the best we have had and we are fussy with Italian food. I had the seafood pizza and it was fully loaded and my wife had the salmon pasta and said it was so good. The kids had pizza and pasta and loved it. We enjoyed it that much we almost licked our plates. Then when we came to pay we where amazed at the price, it is cheap for the brilliant quality we received. If we ever come to Alnwick again this will be our first port of call and we couldn't recommend it enough!

We have arrived from London to accompany my boy to the Mr Gay Great Britain contest; this place is really spectacular....

Just spent the day at Lilidorei and Alnwick Gardens and popped in on the off chance there was a table. We were lucky enough to get one but would recommend booking as many were turned away after 4ish. Cosy and very friendly service and the food was really nice. 6 of us went and all enjoyed our food: piping hot, good choice and good portion size.

Booked a table for a family dinner, staff were helpful and friendly. Restaurant was cosy and welcoming and the service was very good. Food was nice, good selection and portion sizes were ok. Steak was very fatty and the sauce was more like a watery soup, very disappointing for the price. The Italian food was much better however. The real spoiler was the group of people that were seated next to us who were clearly drunk, they were very loud, swearing, shouting and singing. As soon as this group walked in the dynamic of the restaurant changed. The staff were very aware of the issues and chose to do nothing and let this one group spoil 3/4 other groups evening. At times we couldn’t hear each other and gave up trying to have a conversation. Bill was over £120 for a ruined evening - we won’t be going back.

Excellent meal all the way around. Cocktails were delicious. The food was absolutely amazing and authentic Italian- especially recommend the risotto. Service staff were friendly and made it a positive experience. It is popular so I’d absolutely make reservations if you can!

Excellent meal, and adorable waitresses! I recommend!

The food is great, the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very popular both locally and further afield. Very popular it is advisable to book especially at busy times.

First and probably last time coming here. Pizzas were good, but the pasta was dreadful, both mine and my partners pasta was literally swimming in very very watery sauce, it felt like eating ramen noodles as a pose to an authentic Italian dish. I have eaten carbonara all over the world and this is the worst I’ve eaten, staff were lovely but lots of screaming kids.

Lucky to get a table here on a very busy wednesday night. The food was delicious and service attentive. Had a great time, looking forward to going back.

Absolutely delicious food, reasonably priced, great atmosphere and fantastic service. The highlight dining experience of our holiday, highly recommended.

We were surprised by the high quality of the food we were served here, one of the best Italian meal we have eaten, will definitely be back for more.

In our week stay in Alnwick we eat here three times. The first time was hadn't booked but they managed to fit us in and we are glad they could as would not have wanted to miss this place. Lovely range of wines by the class whether, red, white or Rosa, and everything we had was just fabulous. I would certainly book if you can as this place was always busy and it's not hard to see why. Prices were good too and I would certainly highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service.

The starter, maybe a bit of a misunderstanding but I usually think of potato skins as cooked potatoes scooped out, fried and filled not potato peeling scraps fried up. Mains, If you are going to the trouble of breading your chicken and frying to a lovely crispy chicken breast, don't then cover it in a wet sauce making it soggy, put it to the side. I noticed on your menu the carbonara says with a touch of cream, if you were a true Italian restaurant you'd know carbonara doesn't have cream in it. You need to do better.

Lovely food with a wide range of traditional dishes and good service. It does get busy so we had to book. Good wine choices too.

It was very busy when we went and it was obvious why! Food was delicious and service was fantastic! I had the picante pasta with rigatoni, and it was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. A real gem in Alnwick.

Absolutely amazing food !! 🖤 Great service. Went for my cousins birthday lunch, had calamari x2, bruschetta , buratta started , all 4 of us had steaks, so tender, hand cut chis , lovely accompanying sauces. Top notch , thank you 🖤

Spontaneous choice, really friendly staff, good menu choice, fresh tasty food and excellent value. Plenty sized portions.

Fantastic meal! Excellent value on both meals and drinks, and good choice of food and portion sizes. Helpful staff and able to fit us in for a meal when the rest of Alnwick was booked! Thanks for having us.

Got to be the best Italian restaurant around. Everyone is so obliging.

An exceptionally well run Italian restaurant with friendly efficient staff and reasonable prices.

Book in advance as we did as place was full despite being a Tuesday Odd atmosphere like a cocktail bar nothing like an Italian but didn’t matter as the servers were all very friendly amazing what a smile can achieve , and quick despite the crowd We had starters and mains and enjoyed both - ravioli was a special and nicely cooked I’d happily go again perhaps an advantage no cheesy Italian music

Lively and busy atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. Food was delicious: Insalata di gamberi, Pescespada alla Siciliana and Pasta Carbonara.

Popped in twice in the 3 days we were visiting. The guazzetto di pesce appetizer was both the best fish dish and the best priced of our stay. Good pizza, wine and service. Great job everyone

Visited before seeing Russel Kane at the playhouse last night, food portions large, value for money great, I had lasagne which was very nice, partner had spag bol which was a bit watery, thought service was slow considering 3 waitresses and the place isn't huge, waited about 10 mins just for drinks to be ordered then about half an hour after that before anyone took food orders, to sum up, would I go again? Yes I would based on food portions and value for money, but with the hope of faster service on next visit.

Tastiest Italian i’ve ever tried. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating even when me and my friend didn’t have a booking.

Really good authentic home cooked food.

Great prices, great food, great service and loads of vegan options. The people who worked here were so lovely and service was very quick . food was incredible and massive portion sizes for the prices. 100% come back when in the area

We aren’t from the area and stopped in here for a quick bite. Really impressed prompt and friendly service, good food, nice and quick. The staff are all knowledgeable, helpful and really friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food. Polite, friendly and efficient service. Comfortable and spacious seating. Reasonable price.

Very reasonable price for both wine and food. Helpful staff and excellent service. Great food.

Well worth a visit..Food excellent 👏

Had a really lovely evening meal here. Food was delicious and came piping hot. Really lovely pasta with Mussels that I'd never seen before and was delicious. Service was great and the restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere to it. Highly recommend!

parfait, petits prix pour assiettes copieuses, la brochetta, les pizzas, les desserts, tout est excellent. parlons de la gentillesse de notre serveuse, un rayon de soleil !!! nous reviendrons à cette adresse le cadre est sympathique

Such a great place. And busy for a Tuesday. Service excellent Staff very friendly. Food was excellent. A party of 5 and we were all impressed. Tasty food. Served hot. Good wine. Great value for money

Early evening dinner in busy first floor Italian eatery. Warm welcome and friendly service throughout. Bread, olives and roasted veg to share to start with was great value as portion was so big we could have left without eating mains. Both ordered chicken dishes which again were large portions and quite tasty. No way we could contemplate desserts. Saw pasta and pizza dishes heading for other tables and all looked good. Would visit again but would order more carefully as felt we ate too much. Young staff a credit to business.

Have been staying locally and decided on a rainy day to come in for food. Excellent service. Food was amazing. Couldn’t fault staff or food. Would definitely recommend.

I had lunch today in this homely Italian restaurant. I was looking at a property to buy in Alnwick, and the tasty 2 course lunch made me want to move here. The lunch was authentic Italian pizza, and very good value. The restaurant was busy, but the service was friendly and efficient and the kitchen worked well to get the meals out in good time. Thank you.

Brilliant food every time make sure to book your table though it's often v busy ....you wouldn't want to miss out !

The welcome in to the restaurant was warm and our table was in a cosy corner but not cramped. We ordered drinks and the didn't rush us in to ordering. I had the seafood starter, crevettes, mussels, clams etc.. and there was plenty of them. My wife, who is picky with salads ordered prawn salad and commented on how fresh it was. Both dishes were very nice and very tasty. I had the swordfish in a hot sauce and my wife had salmon. Once again we both commented on how nice the food was. The bill was reasonable and certainly justified the good evening that we had. The service was pleasant and we were made to feel as if our custom was appreciated.

Great value Italian restaurant- with high quality but very reasonably priced food . Good range of vegan options available. Recommended

Welcoming and friendly staff. Tasty food and generous portions. Seafood perfectly cooked. Interesting wine list. Very reasonably priced. A gem.

We have eaten here twice & both times have been really cold we both both ate with our coats on. Pizzas were delicious & staff friendly. But please put some heating on as this stops us from wanting to return again which would be a shame

The child’s pasta supposed to come with Napoli sauce, unfortunately it looked like a bowl of pasta with tinned chopped tomatoes on it. I had prawns with saffron rice. They were nice enough but didn’t have that wonderful fresh taste. The saffron rice was very greasy, not how saffron rice should be served. The grease in it was very overpowering and not really enjoyable. My husbands pizza looked good and he said it was enjoyable. The staff were very nice, but unfortunately I won’t be returning in a hurry.

What a wonderful find - a real Italian restaurant with beautifully cooked and presented food. This was one of the best Italian restaurants we have visited, totally unpretentious and under-stated. Staff were really friendly and efficient, without being intrusive. The fixed price menu on offer for Valentine's Day was superb, with good choices and great value.

Our favourite Italian restaurant

The restaurant looked lovely so we chose it cause we were staying for a few nights in the area and plus it was valentines night, so we were out for a treat. We were totally disappointed with the food. We ordered what I thought was going to be an assortment of different breads with flavoursome oils for dipping but what we got was four heavy sliced French stick style bread with a small amount of olive oil with Balsamic vinegar that was tasteless. I then ordered bruschetta but what I got was sliced bread with tasteless cheap tomatoes and cheese melted on top. There was no garlic olive oil dressing or anything to enhance the flavour. No basalmic glaze on the tomatoes I ended up having to put salt on the tomatoes to give it flavour. If an Italian chef made this, he needs to go back to cookery classes. The bread certainly was not bruschetta. My husband had his starter off a specials menu which was salmon parcel with stuffed prawns which he did enjoy but it was put on a large plate with enough bland salad around it as if they were trying to give the impression you were getting your monies worth. For main course I had Cabonara which was very nice but when they asked if I wanted some parmasan cheese I was expecting the real thing not the cheap looking Parmesan cheese that you can buy from Aldi. My husband ordered a calzone pizza which he was not impressed with it looked more like a bun with tomatoes and cheese stuck in the middle and a pastry top put on. The outer crust was about 3” thick and he said was tasteless and stoggy and again the filling was made with cheap tasteless tomatoes with no garlic or any other flavour product. I mean basically a calzone is a pizza folded over with a preferred filling inside. This was nothing like a calzone, not in looks or flavour. The one good thing was that the staff were very nice and they worked hard so we did leave a tip. The restaurant was cold as the door down stairs was wide open and the cold air travels up. A door at the top to keep in the warmth would not go a miss! It looked like a lovely Italian restaurant but the chef needs to be given decent ingredients to improve the food especially the flavours. What we ordered was not rocket science to make but for some reason if he was a qualified chef he could do with a refresh! I’m sorry but I don’t mean to be mean but the food is not cheap and I feel I could have stayed at home and made it myself! On the plus side the pizza and deserts coming out did look good! Although after what we ate we they were not enough to attempt us to go back!

We are here last night on the early bird special - 2 courses for £12. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were huge. Good service too. No complaints at all! Well done!

Very reasonably priced extensive menu and great value and quality. Very pleasant attentive staff. Seabass main course was reasonably priced and great tasting.

Had the Xmas menu and loved the best and most authentic tortellini in brodo I've had since my Mum made it. Followed this with a delightful ndjua casserole. Great food, made with care. A quick warning, this restaurant is upstairs without any real street frontage so there's only a doorway onto the street. I walked past a couple of times with a sat nav until I realised where it was.

Had an excellent lunch from the lunch menu. Well cooked and presented on hot plates. Relaxed atmosphere and will call again.

Lovely experience at this restaurant. A good gluten free menu alongside the main menu. Staff were delightful and the food was plentiful and tasty. Perfectly located for the playhouse too.

very delicious and filling meal.

🥬Vegan/Veggie Options🥬 We visited here whilst exploring Northumberland. Lovely and quaint and great service the taste of the food was great. Portion size was definitely value for money they were huge!!!! We got a starter and main. Garlic mushrooms and Bruschetta. My mushrooms were beautiful however immense in portion size. Mains were pizza and a pesto style pasta. Very tasty but again huge. The pasta felt like a never ending bowl. Less is more I think here. Would recommend but make sure you fast before hand you need an empty stomach :)

I honestly can't speak highly enough of Di Sopra and their wonderful staff ! We've been to Italy loads of times but when we're home we feel so lucky we've got this brilliant restaurant right in our doorstep ! Every meal we've ever had here has been just amazing & believe me we've been a lot ! Not just that though the staff are just the best around & I may be a biased as they are friends but they are so lovely to everyone who comes in for a meal The atmosphere is so relaxed the prices are brilliant but it's the food that trumps everything ! Like I say we live here & by a country mile it's our favourite place to eat That in a town which has some great places to eat is one heck of a recommendation!

I love coming here it’s one of my all time favourite restaurants I’ve just had the most sublime Seafood risotto 🤤🤤 it was perfect I had a starter kinda wish I hadn’t because the main was so good!! I love the relaxed atmosphere here there’s always a happy staff which adds to the overall experience The food here is sublime whether it’s a risotto or a pizza I like coming here for both the basic menu and the more “expensive” menu Valentina and her family are exceptional

Authentic Italian. Great sauces

Saturday afternoon fir a nice pre Christmas catchup with family. Lovely house white wine. V reasonably priced and delicious. We all had a starter and main. Mozzarella sticks/garlic mushrooms. Nice and fresh and tasty. Pizzas and pasta for mains and a christmas cocktail/chocolate brownie with ice cream to finish. Under £100 for 4 people lovely staff and a great family atmosphere. Can't fault anything. Highly recommend.

Lovely meal staff excellent l would like to return on an evening the atmosphere was a little lacking at lunchtime

Faultless. First time here and the food was fantastic, service excellent. Could not pick a fault

Very tasty food and great service

Lovely restaurant and fantastic staff.

Excellent restaurant, food, atmosphere & service first class

In the middle of town, this little gem was great for lunch. We ordered linguini with bolognese sauce and lasagne. Neither meal could be faulted. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

When we searched for restaurants in Alnwick, this was the best rated Italian. I’m sorry to say it reflects badly on the others as the atmosphere was lacklustre, with nothing Italian about it. Unless you count the piped music! The food mediocre and my pizza in particular lacking in taste and flavour. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and attentive

Amazing pizza, really friendly staff who managed to fit us in despite it being late in the evening without a booking. The prices are amazing. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a good pizza - the other food on the menu looked amazing - would love to come back in the future!

The food was absolutely incredible. Not a huge variety of vegan mains, but they tasted so so good I would absolutely recommend. Tons of vegan starters too, you could probably make a meal out of just them!

We booked a table at the very last minute during a short visit to alnwyk. Staff were very accommodating and we dined early evening on a Friday. The restaurant was very busy however the staff were attentive and very friendly. Mussels starter on the specials board was superb and a huge portion. Main sea bass from the specials board was really good and the accompanying roasted vegetables were excellent. Speedy service we will definitely return

Great food! You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend the Calzone.

Lovely meal , helpful staff and great value , delicious starters potato skins and bruschetta with mozzarella

Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere & very reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening

A lovely experience, great service, good with allergies and great for families. Welcoming atmosphere, great food and really reasonable. Will definitely return next time we visit Alnwick.

Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble.

The restaurant was buzzing, but the service was swift and attentive. The food was great, and good value for money. The crab pasta special was excellent.

Weren't booked but squeezed us in ....lovely food

Visited on September 1st with a large party, food was excellent, service was very good.

Popped in here for lunch. What a delight! Excellent starter of burrata. Then sea bass done perfectly in a tasty tomato sauce. And a lovely espresso to finish

What a fabulous restaurant this is. We had English, Indian and Italian food during our 3 night stay. This was by far the best. Service was excellent and the food was very well priced. Highly recommend a visit.

Had the 3 course meal deal. Excellent food and value for money.
