Due Fratelli in Northumberland

We had a meal there last night lovely we went early and the meal. Was very good price are very good. The service brilliant.

Firstly, please don't be put off by the exterior/the walk upstairs! Once you are through the doors it's like you are in a different place ☺️ Staff were welcoming and our waiters were polite and attentive. We ordered drinks and they arrived quickly (I did baulk slightly at £2.40 for a fruit shoot though!). We ordered a mixture of starters including seafood (mussels) which my husband said was delicious and fresh. I had the goats cheese which was very tasty. We had mostly pasta for main and honestly my pasta dish was possiblity one of the nicest pasta dishes I have ever had (chicken and broccoli rigatoni)! Generous portion and hot! Plenty of chicken and good quality. My daughter had chicken nuggets but they were not the bog standard freezer rubbish, delicious and sizable chunks of chicken breast. The atmosphere was perfect for us, not too loud or too quiet. Family friendly! It was relatively busy but not overly so for a Thursday night and a mixture of families and couples. We were staying in nearby Cresswell so this was perfect for us. Free car Park nearby or can park outside if space. Highly recommend if you're in the area... delicious food and reasonably priced. Thank you for a fantastic meal!

We checked out previous reviews and were a bit unsure what to expect. We were definitely not disappointed. Food and service were exceptional. Delicious steak and seafood combo.Fillet steak fell apart. Really good quality and we will be back soon Thank you! 😋

This restaurant is upstairs but does have a stairlift for those with mobility issues. Extensive menu and also offers two 3 course meal options, one at £14.95 and one at £21.95. I opted for the cheaper one. I had bruschetta to start, Kiev pizza(chicken, sweetcorn, garlic and mozzarella) and profiteroles. The was a £2 extra charge for the bruschetta and profiteroles. The food and service was excellent. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

Clean restaurant and everything seemed pleasant enough. My son says his pizza was great and my partner’s pasta bake was also great though it didn’t have much meat in. Ironic really as my vegetarian pasta did contain meat! A big lump of chicken…! Not happy at all and, whilst they agreed not to charge me for my meal, the apology was very poor indeed. A mumbled “sorry” was all I got before the manager went off to talk to the chef. No further comments from them but as a vegetarian, being given chicken is very offensive to me, and I would have expected some feedback from the chef with a more genuine heartfelt apology. Actually quite disgusted with their response to what was no doubt a genuine mishap but left me feeling repulsed. More care needs to be taken and needless to say, I won’t be going back!

A fabulous, authentic Italian. We all ordered something different from the menu. We all had the same opinion, the food was delicious. Better authentic Italian cuisine I haven had.

Sat here having tea it was lovely but I have to say I got 6 bits of small chicken in my meal was very disappointed for 10 95. Staff was very nice and place very clean

Tried this restaurant whilst on holiday. 5 adults and two small children. Children's meals were brilliant value. Steak was delicious as was everything that we ordered off the extensive menu. Staff very attentive. A very relaxing and pleasant dining experience and we would certainly recommend this restaurant.

what a hidden gem!! Pizza and pasta was some of the best I've ever had...so totally unexpected and the service was outstanding! I've told all my family and friends this is the place to go when in newbiggin by the sea!!

I went this evening for a meal, had amazing service with amazing food . You can go and see the chefs from the past, making the fresh food in front of you lovely and friendly easy to talk to recommended 100%.

I eat out quite a lot and this is one of my favorite restaurants. I have never had a bad meal here. Service is always polite and the food and quality of the chefs cooking is excellent. Add to that the prices are always reasonable. I recommend to anyone.

We regularly visit with family and love the reasonable prices great value and delicious food every time. I am however increasingly concerned about the stairlift which has worked intermittently for the last year or two..The lift is clearly not serviced regularly as it has not been working well for a long time.We always have issues going up in the stairlift ( less so on the way down) . Although this is frustrating my wider concern is that if there was a fire or emergency any disabled customers would have major issues leaving the building. I’m not convinced a risk assessment has been done either as this seems to me to be a major issue. Looking at the wires today revealed 3 loose wires and one that had been cut( very visible to anyone looking) not sure we will visit as regular from now as I’m worried about my stepmoms safety and want to feel confident that she is safe xx

Wouldnt even dare attend here. They change the dates of all of the food in fridges and if you say your pasta is geasy they take it back and pat it down with paper towel , also both bosses have a stinking attudie and hiring young people and making them feel bad !!! This place needs shut down and a visit from Environment health

We use this restaurant whenever we’re in Newbiggin by the Sea. The food is freshly prepared and there’s a good variety one of our favourite restaurants. Check out their ‘Specials’ they’re really affordable and are top quality.

Thanks for looking after us for our Christmas Day lunch. Can’t fault the food, service and the lovely girls who were waiting on the tables. Hats off to all the staff who did a great job.

Starters lovely but main course went on Xmas eve had company down from Edinburgh I know that veg are ment to have a crunch to them but you couldn’t put your fork through the cauliflower and the Yorkshire puddings would of broken the windows we ate at 5 pm and when confronted the chefs response was only one came back when there was four sent back he had been a chef since he was 16 and he new they were ment to be crunchy and he had made them fresh that morning not good at all definitely won’t be back

Food was fantastic, menu had a good choice. The mussels were superb for a starter & the portions really impressive. I had the Cozze Fresche & the chicken Valdostana, both excellent. The restaurant is above a club, but don't let that put you off, absolutely superb

Overall food was lovely, just one out of the 4 meals wasn’t right but it didn’t spoil the visit. The restaurant is a big open plan space and being so busy it was a bit loud. Being a busy restaurant make sure you book ahead. First floor setting.

About 100 yards from our hotel, so we booked for the last night of our stay. We only wanted a main course and a bottle of wine so I ordered a steak with a sauce and my wife ordered sea bass fillets. The steak came swimming in the sauce in the centre of the plate and the chips came separately but where is the veg? There isn't any... The steak was awful, grainy and hard to chew. I would assume that it hadn't been aged. The chips were good though. My wife's sea bass came on top of a sort of Greek salad. 2 fillets , that she said were ok. I think she expected maybe new potatoes or something but that was it. It's a good job that we shared a Beefeater meal in the afternoon. Those 2 meals and the wine [ which was good } came to £60.85. Not great value really. It was reasonably quiet, diners wise and I can see why. I don't like doing bad reviews but this was pretty poor.

Really lovely find on our our stay in Newbiggin , food and service were good. Mussels starter from the board were amazing….

The food was really good, staff friendly and attentive. For starters we had the creamy garlic mushrooms, the sauce was very rich and strong in garlic but so tasty, they're served on their own but with the sourdoughbread and butter we were given for our table we were able to soak up the sauce! Potato skins starter were nice and crispy. For mains, we had salami pizza, chicken bake, breaded chicken dish and sirloin steak with black pudding and a djion sauce on special. All the meals were cooked well, excellent flavour and really enjoyable. Staff kindly offered to box our pizza to allow us to take away with us as we were too full to eat it! My only criticism would be the surroundings. The restaurant is in need of refurbishment with a lick of paint needed on walls that are heavily stained. The toilets were off-putting it looked like someone had been sick in both cubicles that were unflushed, sanitary bins covered in rust, and toilets generally dirty looking.

The service and the food were terrific! I had the steak and was joyfully surprised by the originally and rich taste. We all had a great time and return every time we are in Newbiggin!

Dropped in at lunchtime and ordered an all day breakfast. It arrived quickly, within ten minutes, but most of it was cold or barely lukewarm. If 10 is hot then the scores were Sausages 8 Bacon 5 Tomatoes 4 Egg 3 Mushrooms 2 Beans 2 I couldn’t make a fuss as I didn’t have time to send it back, ordinarily I would have done. I am left wondering how a “cooked to order” breakfast can arrive in ten minutes and be cold? Either it was left on the pass for too long or else it was poorly reheated, either way it was a poor effort.

Food was nice however starter portions were small for the price. The food was tasty. The staff were very attentive and quick to serve. However, the restaurant room is somewhat life a cafe but overall the experience was nice.

The restaurant lacked a bit of atmosphere however the staff were very pleasant and the food was very good. The desserts were the cheapest I’ve seen in a long while and very nice.

Had to try this little gem again whilst in the area! Had a fantastic meal from the lunchtime menu. Excellent food again. It's a shame we don't live nearer! Will definitely be back.

Best lobster bisque I’ve had for a very long time. The special was a chicken and mushroom stroganoff which was exceptionally tasty. Can’t fault it

We visited on a midweek evening. The place was not too busy. The surroundings are pleasant with plenty of room between tables. The staff were friendly and helpful too. The menu is quite large with a choice of different pastas for your pasta dish. We had a starter of calamari to share which was very nice. For mains I had the Due Fratelli pasta which was a large portion with plenty of chicken, bacon and mushrooms in quite a peppery sauce. It was lovely. OH had the pasta marinara which had loads of seafood and was a big portion too. He really enjoyed it. The desserts are home made so both of us had tiramisu which came with cream and was delicious. We had a bottle of the house red which was good. We were really pleased with the bill of £56. We'll definitely visit again when next in the area.

Excellent food and service. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was really busy and they seemed to be short staffed. The staff managed the situation well and still provided great service.

Due Fratelli is an Italian restaurant with a good range of pasta, pizza and other dishes. Food was excellent, as was the service (possibly because there were few other diners). A very good option if you are in Newbiggin.

We visited Due Fratelli whilst staying at Newbiggin at Easter 2023. Great restaurant with fantastic food and friendly staff. Very central location. A great choice of dishes and good options for children. Restaurant was full and everyone was looking happy. We have family in nearby Ashington so will certainly return again in the future!

We were so happy to find this little gem. Let's start with a big win. They were open....not many places can be bothered to be so accessible during quieter months or days of the week. But all credit. Food was superb, I had a special...

This well-established Italian restaurant is noted for good food at a reasonable price. In fact they have special set menus lunch and evenings but we chose from the menu. 4 of us and 4 quite different dishes after some rather good starters. I see other...

Went with 10 friends and the food was lovely,I had the Christmas menu. 3 courses for £18.95 and couldn't fault it, those that didn't have the Christmas menu really enjoyed their food as well. The staff couldn't do enough for everyone. I'd definitely go here...

The building housing The Central Bar may look inauspicious from the outside but upstairs there is a lovely Italian restaurant, Due Fratelli. From the moment we stepped in to check out the menu we had a warm welcome that inspired us to make a reservation...

This place has an unprepossessing exterior but once inside things get much better. The food was tasty and well prepared ; the guys doing the service were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is fine so there is nothing here not to like.

First time visiting for our anniversary and made to feel very welcome. Excellent food with service to match, thank you to Lee. Highly recommend. Be back soon..

This restaurant was recommended to us and we had our anniversary meal there. We were not disappointed. There was an evening menu either pasta based or steak or chicken. The sirloin steak was cooked as requested and had lashings of peppercorn sauce superb. The chicken...

Great Italian that caters for most tastes. Great value, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. A definite must visit

We thought we'd have to wait for ages for our food, as the restaurant was really busy. We were pleasantly surprised. As well as our food and wine being really good, our waitress was superb. She was really friendly, helpful and totally on the ball....

We've just had a fabulous meal. We shared a calamari starter, which was excellent. We had a bottle of Verdicchio white, a perfect choice. For mains we had pan fried cod off the board, chicken dolcelatte, hand cut chips and veg. Absolutely delicious. Chicken was...

We were really looking forward to our visit here, but left feeling a bit disappointed. The staff were quite friendly, but needed a lot more guidance as, despite asking for drinks, we got forgotten and had to ask someone else. Nobody checked if our meals...

The three course dinner was great value. The starter and main course were good and tasty and there was plenty of food. The third course was ice cream. Service was good. We went in at 7:45 on a Tuesday and we’re the last people dining.

it was okay the potato skins were out of this world they were unreal but the pizza on the other hand wasn’t the best but overall it was quite good

Overall the food is just ok, however, somewhat lacking in the finer details, no parmesan offered with pasta dishes, found chicken and brocolli pasta very bland and lacking seasoning, side salads nothing special, and staff I found to be quite miserable - not authentic italian...

We ate here whilst staying at a local holiday park after Googling local Italians we chose to dine at this one. When we first arrived we were a little skeptical as it’s above a kind of working mens club/sports bar, however looks we’re deceiving in...

Absolutely worth a visit, a wonderful find whilst ambling down the High Street in Newbiggin. Delicious food, excellent service, and stylish decor. A welcome change from the 'pub' vibe.

Fabulous food. Kids were happy with the food which is harder than you think. Portion sizes were great as well. Very clean. Staff were lovely.

In the words of my partner the food was ‘banging’. Very accommodating for our baby in a buggy, staff very friendly and attentive and couldn’t fault the food.

Went with the wife on holiday Great food, great service, would recommend to any people who are staying in the area

Superb meal. I had due fratelli with tagliatelle. Was a delicious meal cooked with chicken mushrooms basil and olive oil. Husband had lasagne. Would highly recommend.

We ate here 22/6/22. Staff ok. No ambience. Very hot and stuffy - no visible air conditioning or fans. Food wasn’t good. Black pudding with peppercorn sauce (overpowered BP)!!! Potato skins greasy, pasta was gluppy!! It didn’t seem very Italian to us!! We have also...

Excellent Italian, I would say a hidden gem. Fab bruchetta followed by chicken & broccoli in a wonderful cream sauce. Great choice from the evening menu. Shame we don't live closer. My husband had cannelloni which was fresh from the oven and very tasty

What a find! We have been in Newbiggin for a few days, and have visited here twice already. We have all had great meals. The special pan-fried chicken in Cajun spices was excellent, and the pizzas are great. Everything tastes fresh and the chef clearly...

Ate at Due Fratelli yesterday evening and enjoyed it. The food was freshly cooked and really extremely good, staff friendly and helpful, and espressos were the real deal. Would recommend highly.

We had a take out pizza last night for ease, as we are on holiday touring. The pizza was really good, so we decide to eat in the restaurant the following night, and were not disappointed, The mushrooms in garlic and white wine sauce for...

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch with my family. Food is fabulously tasty and well presented. Service is very good and really friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere - brilliant waiter - excellent food and the lunch time special was generous, tasteful and a good price. Will certainly visit again

the food was delicious and staff were friendly overall a perfect place to go and it is affordable for everyone I would highly recommend

We go here lots - we live in the town and the restaurant is local. We have never had a bad meal, quite the opposite, every week it’s absolutely fab. The service is friendly and welcoming, the menu is extensive and the specials board is...

Classic Trattoria style restaurant, but without the high prices demanded by similar establishments south of Leeds. Set daily specials and full Italian menu. House wine good. Friendly and helpful staff.

The food was excellent for the price however, the staff were making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome as they talked about us and made sly comments regarding our visit

We had two chicken and mushroom pizzas to take away which we ate at the Old Ship. They were excellent quality with plenty of toppings.

Good vfm, food was quite nice but there was a long wait and the pizzas were a bit bland- can’t argue with the price though for the set menus.

What a lovely gem of a restaurant. Such friendly professional staff. We had the evening 3 course special. Potato skins and garlic mushrooms for hubby a pound extra but worth it. Romano pasta and Alforno, both hot tasty and substantial. Ice cream and coffee for...

This was our 3rd visit here and I have to say I was disappointed , the only thing that redeemed any type of satisfaction was the great young lady that was our waitress for the evening she was marvellous!! Starters :- black pudding and peppercorn...

Had a lovely take away meal, hot food, and really tasty. Not dog friendly hence the take away. Definitely worth a visit. Easy to order over the phone and quick service.

As part of my road trip from Northumberland to Lincolnshire, I needed an eating spot for both breakfast and evening meal. I selected Due Fratelli for dinner and had Seafood Linguini which was excellent. The young staff, one young man and three or four young...

Staying down the road, so thought we'd pop in as we'd seen the restaurant while visiting the lovely Newbiggin by the sea. Decent service, good food, would probably visiting again.

Firstly, I have to say that when entering an Italian restaurant, there is usually that lovely distinctive aroma of Italian food, as we certainly found in Lollo Rosso in nearby Morpeth!. Due Fratelli does not have this, that is unless I had Covid and didn't...

Awful service, Average food. Wouldn’t say it’s worth a visit, Shaj tandoori indian further up the road is a much nicer atmosphere!! Ridiculous set menu option, unable to swap dessert when all the desserts are the same price anyway. Manager is very self righteous and...

Visited this restaurant while having a week away with the family.very mediocre food, asked a very simple question and got a very arrogant attitude from the owner who looked straight through me to talk to one of the waiters. He definitely needs to work on...

An amazing opportunity to see behind the scenes of the cathedral and look across the octagon tower, as well as the Ely landscape. Not for the faint hearted, 165 steps and some small doorways but worth every step...... our guide was very informative. The staff/...

First visit in a while but wanted to test the water again after the restrictions lifted. Food was nice though drinks expensive but the waiter was new which is fine except he made an error, we were eating off the lunch special menu, it came...

Good Italian food. The only decent restaurant in town. Worth a visit. Good food and prices. Attentive and polite staff

We ate off the specials menu and the food was delicious. Costing less than £10 per person. The tiramisu was light and delicious. A quick walk along the prom afterwards.

What can I say, the food was absolutely beautiful. I went with my family for a birthday meal and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will absolutely be coming back soon.

Excellent all round Friendly helpful staff All covid secure Lovely food, vegetarian choices (could be a few more) Good value Will be back Thank you 😊

Can I quote from another review. what a hidden gem , a must go , we had the traditional Sunday lunch menu, exceptional, portions were just right , staff we attentive, as if you were in Italy , well done to all. Bellissimo, I must...

This restaurant is not COVID secure. Tables are reasonably distanced but one waiter wore no mask at all and two other waiters had dirty masks not covering their noses and one barely covering their mouth. We weren’t asked to track and trace. Food however was...

We had three evening meals here during a short stay in Newbiggin. The food was excellent, coming piping hot and not too long a wait. The menu was varied and the waiting staff excellent. Would defiantly recommend if your in the area.

First time here in a good few years and throughly enjoyed our food, delicious.. definitely will be back and definitely recommend.. staff great and friendly...

Newbigging on Sea does not have many restaurants and this upstairs facility was a suprise. The food was well prepared and tasty. The service was excellent
