We used to go to Gianni’s regularly when the original owners ran the place and it was always a firm family favourite. We went back tonight for the first time in years and it was like stepping back in time! Delicious food, great atmosphere and fantastic service - just like it used to be! We’re absolutely delighted and we’ll certainly be back soon!

The food was very nice but still a slightly disappointing experience. We had booked a table but ended up waiting for 30 minutes before being seated. When we were eventually seated we felt rushed. We had to order another drink as we’d drank majority of the original when we were waiting. We’d just finished our meals and were drinking off the last of the second drink when the waiter came over and asked us to move back to the waiting area to finish the drinks as they were waiting to seat someone else. At that point we’d only been sat our table for about 45 minutes. It was a shame because although the food was very nice we left feeling slightly annoyed. The restaurant seemed more interested in how many people it could fit in rather than individual customers.

Happy hour pizza. Had Bolognese pizza and asked for fresh rocket on top, which was happily provided at no extra cost. Drinks were also reasonably priced. Cheap and cheerful, with nice friendly service. Thanks

Went for my birthday tea and has a lovely meal (I didn’t tell them it was my birthday otherwise they make the whole restaurant sing happy birthday! 🤣) I had mussels to start which were amazing and the a lovely pizza. All in all five of us going at happy hour and having some starters, mains and drinks was £100 so tremendous value too.

Went for a family meal out making sure we got there early for happy hour. Pleasantly surprised to see it so busy in the early evening and managed to get the last table for four. The staff are always really friendly and happy to take bespoke orders for pizza toppings.

Hadn't visited Giannis since before Lockdown but what a lovely return visit - was getting nervous as to whether they were open as I couldn’t get through on the phone. (Phones were not working!) The potato skins were as good as I remembered and the vegetarian pizza was delicious. Prices reasonable and staff very welcoming. It won't be long before we make a return visit.

Mains were ok but average but dessert was overpriced freezer food served with squirt cream. Service poor and very slow. Bill was impossible to check as there were no prices on it and it’s cash only.

We visited on a Friday night. I was surprised we didn’t have to book as the last time we went it was packed. This night the restaurant was quite quiet. Covid rules applied and lots of room between tables.Best if all was the delicious meal. My mussel starter was fantastic, best mussels I’ve had in a long time. My husband had the scallops with black pudding and loved it. We both had fillet steak. Mine, cooked rare as requested was thick, juicy and very tasty. My husband enjoyed his but would have preferred peppercorn sauce. He thought he’d ordered that but with all wearing masks it’s easy to mishear. The meal was washed down with Pinot Grigio, ice cold and fruity. We’ll be going back soon.

Very miserable Saturday night made the better by a visit to Giannis Morpeth. Great touch we were greeted on arrival by Franco all social distance observed and sanitizers available. Tables were well spaced loverly interior. Staff were great and made our night. Food was well made and tasty good varied menu & specials board. Very reasonable prices we had three courses or under £20 each. It’s a well established restaurant in Morpeth and their doing a great job at making your visit an enjoyable experience at this time it’s good to support our independent restaurants. Thanks to Franco & Alan we will be back. May even have a takeaway

Me and my fiancé have recently moved back to Morpeth after 15 years. We have both grown up going to Giannis with our families for meals throughout the years. When we moved back a month ago and went for a meal to celebrate, it obviously has changed (no newspaper on the walls), it looks modern and has much more light in the room than it used to be. We ordered the antipasto for two for a starter, I honestly can’t describe how amazing it was, I haven’t had such an amazing antipasto in such a long time. We had pizza for our main and was great. They were so attentive that we ended up drinking two bottles of wine ha ha. We can’t thank everyone enough for the amazing night we had after finally moving into the house of our dreams and going to our childhood favourite Giannis to celebrate. I hope many years to come we can come with a family of our own like we did with our parents

If you’re looking for a relaxing Italian meal in a pleasant, peaceful atmosphere this place isn’t for you. Young families and noisy revellers might feel more at home. The food is ok, but the vibe is noisy and low-rent. I don’t want to be cajoled into repeatedly singing Happy Birthday to other diners while I’m trying to enjoy eating my meal..

Me and my 2 children were hungry after a busy day and we stumbled across this little restaurant. They were quite busy but managed to fit us in without booking. We were served very quickly by a nice friendly waiter. We all had the carbonara which again we didn’t wait long for. They came out pipping hot and I must say it was very nice my two children loved it. The owner Franco popped over and had a chat which was lovely, typical friendly Italian service. Told me he had just made a tiramisu this morning and I should try it as it was amazing. I tried it and was not disappointed it was delicious. My children got deserts also which looked amazing. This is my first visit to Giannis and I really enjoyed this authentic Italian restaurant and we will definitely visit again. The staff were amazing and the whole place looks and feels great. I didn’t relise on entering the restaurant that it was taking part in the eat out to help out deal. I got the whole meal cheaper than it would of been at Macdonald’s but even at full price I think it is extremely responsible.

A nice restaurant with a nice menu and good food with friendly if a little occasionally overbearing service. The thing which alarmed me though was a complete lack of any sort of attempt at managing the whole COVID-19 situation. Were it not for a bottle of hand sanitiser and a sign on the toilet door restricting the amount of people in them you wouldn’t know anything was going on. Every table was occupied and there was at least one group of work colleagues on a night out. It was very busy and I felt a little uncomfortable. It’s surprised me as I’ve eaten out a lot over the last few weeks and everywhere else seemed to be taking it seriously.

We were warmly welcomed by the staff. The menu is extensive and we were very happy with our selections. The restaurant is excellent value for money. The portions are big but don’t worry, you can ask for a 'doggy bag' to take home with you.There is a limited selection of wine but it is excellent quality.I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a relaxed eating experience.

As an "oldie" with COPD, I don't get much chance to get out since lockdown. In fact, I've only managed twice, both at Giannis! Why Giannis? Well, it's a great little restaurant anyway but the extra steps they've taken to make me feel safe (well, as safe as you can be right now) have been so reassuring.Social distancing was just right - far enough apart but not so much that the atmosphere suffers. The attention to cleanliness starts right at the door with the hand cleanser/dispenser and continues right throught the experience. Given my feeble frame (lol) we took our own glasses and cutlery just to be safe - some restaurants would get "shirty" about that but Marco just takes everything in his stride and is his usual friendly, helpful self.We started with garlic bread; I always judge Italian restaurants by the standard of their garlic bread. It should be easy but too many places still get it wrong (too risen/not risen enough, overdone/underdone, etc). Giannis got it just right!! Unusually, as pizza addicts, we both settled for pasta mains - salmon and prawns for me and diavolo for my wife. Both were very good, in fact mine was the best 'al salmone' that I've ever had (and I've had a few!)All washed down with a nice bottle of sicilian white and a complimentary amaretto, it made for a great night, thanks a lot, Giannis!I still can't wait for lockdowns to end but as long as their are places like this I guess I'll survive.

So we went to another restaurant it was packed and no chance of a table. Staff recommended giannis and I’m glad they did! The staff were lovely really attentive. All the food was delicious sorry we didn’t take pictures we were starving! Definitely recommend and it was reasonably priced too. Just one thing I would have liked a different choice of red wine by the glass as my husband was driving but that’s the only thing.

Found Gianni’s by chance when passing through Morpeth. V glad we did. One floor up stairs in old Market Place. Lunchtime menu excellent value. We had pizza each, one Pollo & one Vegetariana. Both great. Husband also went off piste & had garlic mushrooms to start. Generous portion and bursting with garlic sauce. (I had to help him with these). 2 diet cokes each. Bill under £23. Spotless facilities. Lovely friendly staff.

Walking round the town centre, myself and my husband stumbled over this Italian restaurant that do a happy hour from Tuesday to Saturday at 5pm for a one course meal for £4.95 which we thought was a real good bargain. For just under £20 we had an apple juice each, a margarita pizza, chicken tagliatelle and chips.Both meals were delicious and there was plenty of friendly staff.

The food was very poor. The worse Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. The steak Rossini was nothing like a Rossini I’ve ever had before - too much fat and gristle. The pate was actually viscous and the sauce overpowering. No dressing with the bland salad. Worse of all the owner is loud and overbearing and needs to get the basics right rather than trying to be a big personality.

Me and my family visited whilst shopping in morpeth and I was pretty impressed at the staff in particular, the owner was pleasant and chatty, and the food was good. This is a very cheap reasturant in the centre of morpeth where youd expect to pay a little more, which surprised me. You get a real sort of family run feel in here (whether that is the case or not I dont know), and for me more than anything this place has the edge over the likes of sambuca reasturants

Visited on a short break to Northumberland staying just outside Morpeth. Chose the option of happy hour between 5 and 6 pm, one course 4.95. Lovely friendly welcome on arrival and seated straight away. We chose bruschetta and garlic bread to start between 2 adults and 2 children. More than enough and very tasty. I opted for half portion of rissotto for main which was piping hot and lovely and more than enough. 2 meatball with spaghetti and a pepperoni pizza with added chicken were ordered and all lovely and fresh. Bottle of wine with 2 cokes and 2 orange cordials all for £52. Very good value and will definitely be back to support this lovely restaurant

On a one night stay in Morpeth, my husband and I decided to eat at Gianni's having looked at other restaurants nearby. We were given a warm welcome by the owner and a table. We didn't have to wait too long for our food after we ordered and the food was freshly cooked and tasty and very enjoyable. The service was a little slow for drinks and the bill but otherwise a very enjoyable meal. There were two family groups celebrating birthdays, one large and one small and the owner asked us all to sing Happy Birthday for the lucky person. It was obviously a popular place as there were quite a few diners already there with new customers arriving later. The only drawback is that the restaurant is on the first floor accessed only by stairs. I don't think there is a lift. An enjoyable evening.

Having had a walkabout in morpeth my husband and I decided to return to an old favourite Italians of ours giannis,what a mistake we ordered from the special menu there were two on the table differently priced but the waiter didn't seem to know the difference when we asked him so we shared garlic bread very nice,my husband had pasta which he said was pleasant enough and I had a ham and pineapple pizza which I have to say compared with other restaurants was very small. we had a pint of shandy for my husband and a wine and soda for me.My drink was appalling i think the soda machine must have been off as it tastes of wine with water added with hindsight I should have returned it.After having got the bill we were amazed to find for the 2 drinks it came to eleven pounds that is dearer that the city c centre restraurants.We were very disappointed and when we return to morpeth we will not be visiting again.I am surprised this restaurant is still opened .

From the waiter chewing up the cork in the wine to having to ask four times for the bill this was a very disappointing evening. The owner/waiter must understand he can’t do it all, it results in appallingly slow service. The food is average at best and my chicken was obviously frozen and over cooked to defrost, my company’s pasta was not fresh and tasted stodgy, all really poor. The ambiance and decor fail to save the evening. One comment, the young lady waitress was very good and the owner should empower her.

Popped in for lunch today. Great food and excellent value. Pizzas were perfect thin with loads of quality topping but with that all important crispy base. Followed that with fantastic tiramisu. Love this place

Ganz gut und empfehlenswert. Die Pizza entspricht zwar nicht ganz dem italienischen Standard, war aber trotzdem gut. Sehr aufmerksames Personal. Die Weinkarte ist leider nur sehr klein.

Lovely to see Gianni's back in Morpeth and back to its high standard! Prompt service with the usual charm, delicious food and the atmosphere was as lively as ever.

Really enjoyed our meal to Giannis and felt the need to write a good review up to give some recognition.

30 years ago my parents dined here the day after their wedding. My siblings, grandparents and I decided to recreate that night as a surprise for their pearl anniversary.

Just home from a superb early dinner at Giannis, pizza garlic with tomato was deliciously thin and crispy, Pollo Valdostana with spaghetti Napoli was exceptional, a huge bow of fresh mussels in a lovely garlic and white wine broth topped off with tempting deserts and coffee, service was attentive and quick without feeling rushed with service staff who smiled and looked happy. It’s fab to see the restaurant full again after previous attempts to rejuvenate it. Will be back soon

Must admit we’ve stayed away in recent months because of the decline of the restaurant but no more. Franco and Alan are now in business together. They have gone back to their old suppliers and it shows! Everything that we had was absolutely fantastic. We started with mussels, skins and squid, then on to mains of pasta diavola, the most fabulous monkfish and sirloin steak. The chips and vegetables were perfect. The wine list is great and there’ll soon be beer and lager on draught.I’m so glad that it’s returned to its former glory, we’ve been coming here with family and friends for over 30 years!

A day out in Morpeth with the folks and looking for something to eat, I remembered Gianni's - not been in since my teens 30 something years ago and it was still there so for old time sake gave it a try. So glad we did, Franco so welcoming pizza was fantastic, and only 4.95 on the lunchtime menu. Couldn't fault the whole experience - won't leave it as long before next visit - we wil be back soon.

We had mussels and potato skins to start which were delicious followed by Chicken with Prawns, sea bass, king prawns and spaghetti bolognaise. All meals were really lovely - hot, tasty and full of flavour!

I went to Gianni's today for lunch. The lunch time special menu was one course for £4.95 or 2 courses for £6.95. I had potato skins followed by rigatoni with vegetarian sauce which was very tasty. My friends enjoyed their food as well. The manager/owner was very pleasant and service was great. The food was simple and probably only worth 4 stars but have given 5 stars because of whole experience.

Glad to see Giannis is back open, delighted when we walked in to see Franco has taken this over. He knows how it used to work and also it’s full potential. He will get this back on the map and running like clockwork in no time. Maria was excellent last night too. The food was as delicious as ever, King prawns were amazing, pasta very good too. Giannis has been a favourite of mine for over 20 years, great atmosphere, great food and great value too. Highly recommend, best of luck to Franco, you are doing Antonio proud

Just popped in for lunch after a demanding morning as I seen a post on a local group on facebook so me and malcolm thought we would give it a go as we always support local buisness as a buisness woman myself the only way to go bigger is the custom. Calm and collective environment food was nothing stunning I found the sunday lunch to be very plain. Nothing was delicately placed on the plates seemed sling shotted so it didn't match the advertising and the man sharing posts on facebook actually has a negative review on facebook of this establishment which says a lot. Would thrive with decent leadership all the problems span from the top clearly disorganised definitely an act to polish up, diverse menu with variety which is good but not good if they just have anybody in the kitchen who are throwing things on plates also quite dusty. My hubby said his dinner was gorgeous. May visit if other reviews claim it has improved. Hope they get it sorted, always available for any advice you's may need as a local mumtrepreneur myself. Much love lisa x Gentleman's review whos sharing the posts below x

Popped in for a drink on a walk with a view to potentially have dinner with my husband including 10 month old son - unfortunately unless there’s a crack down on teens vaping inside the pub on tables next to us we wouldn’t return.
