Just Italy Cafe in North Tyneside

WoW.....Just WoW. If you enjoy authentic Italian food then you gotta give this place a go, you won't be disappointed! The food and service is outstanding and left a lasting impression on us all ( party of 8 ) Already looking forward to returning in the very near future. Take your own wine and beer for a minimal corkage fee (£2)

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. All the dishes were tasty, hot, and well presented. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere good. The Tiramisu was light and airy, delicious ! Definitely recommend this place

We went there really early around 4:30 pm so it was not at all busy. We had bruschetta for starters base was really soft and delicious. We ordered Arrabiata and ravioli very well made balanced flavour. Dessert was the best part chocolate fudge and tiramisu extremely yummy also fresh. I got hangover from their delicious food. Wish they add more vegetarian variety in their menu.

It's apsouloutely unbelievable. I'm friends with the owners son and the food,dont get me started,I would rate it more than 5 stars if I could. Insanely great service,hope I will come and have more enjoyment soon 😉

This place is a hidden gem. Staff were so welcoming and friendly with our 2 year old son! We all enjoyed our food and will be back. Authentic Italians 100% worth the visit!

Had the most amazing Carbonara, very genuine and very delicious. Will be visiting again for more.

It was my first time to come here, I had a coffee espresso, it tasted great, I have not had it in North East yet

Excellent fresh, authentic Italian food. Service was a little slow. Staff were lovely.

Went for a meal after this place was recommended to us. Loved the place - food excellent, great menu to choose from and friendly service. We will definitely return

This is such a hidden gem of a restaurant. We had a delicious lunch here, and service was great! I had a caprese salad with perfectly al dente pasta and affogato to finish, will be back!

Went for a meal for my daughter’s 21st. It was last minute, as we had been let down by a different restaurant. The food was amazing. They were very accommodating and the service was great. We’ll definitely be going back more often. A gem of a place.

Had the most delicious meal here. The staff were so nice and friendly even offering us a umbrella for the rain

Lovely authentic Italian with a great atmosphere and delicious food. Team area great and was a lovely night out.

The service and meal weee wonderful

Just the nicest food and people. We love it so much, a luxury and a delight every visit. Thank you, so very much appreciated!

A hidden gem. Delicious. Two bites in and it’s a five star review. Eat there, now.

Great tea with the family. Lovely friendly atmosphere and great food.

The shrimp seem simply boiled, but the sauce is delicious. I would suggest serving them with bread so you can dip them into the sauce. Olives are delicious. The pizza portions are large, the pizza itself is not bad, but the Calzone had raw dough. I would refresh the interior by adding a touch of Italy.

Having lived in Italy for 4 years this little gem is an authentic Italian experience. We've eaten here 6 times in the past year enjoying each time and introducing friends to this little slice of La Dolce Vita. North shields is lucky to have such a wonderful, warm place to eat out. it can get a little loud for my personal preference but it's still a great atmosphere

Just a fabulous addition to North Shields.

Had there soup which os no longer on menu was delicious full of flavour and was vegetarian

First time at Little Italy and it won't be our last, fantastic little Italian Restaurant, food was excellent, service excelled, I recommend this to all, Support our ocal businesses.

Superb food. No problem taking your own wine.

You could easily walk past this place and hardly notice, but it's definitely worth a visit. The menu is great, loads of choice and they do gluten-free too. The food is AMAZING, best pasta dish I've had in a long time. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. I'm already planning my next visit.

An absolute delight!! This Italian Cafe will not disappoint. With service as impeccable as the food. I am visiting from Australia and would say this is the best food I've had while being here on holiday.

Fantastic food and friendly owners. Highly recommend

What a fantastic restaurant with great staff and very, very good tasting food. You are made welcome and have a great dining experience. We would defiantly recommend you visit this restaurant.

I had a coffee with my friend today, I have to say fantastic, lovely and clean, lovely atmosphere and the staff were so polite, can't wait to try the food and most of all the pizzas look amazing

Quality ingredients, great chef

The food is amazing and authentic Italian. Delicious prawns starter, carbonara and nduja pizza. Bring your own drink also!

One of the best Italian restaurants, food is amazing ,and the staff are very polite..i will definitely be going back thank you everyone.

We went here for breakfast. I asked for bacon sandwich, well done. It was lovely. The bread was amazing. Staff were brilliant, very attentive but not too much. We were the only ones in, so atmosphere was disappointing, but not their fault. Would definitely go again x

Cafe by day, really decent and GVFM restaurant by night. Hand made pasta using local ingredients where possible. I had a brilliant nudja and kipper (yes, kipper) pasta that worked really well. It's also BYOB with a reasonable corkage price. The staff are also really helpful. Get some!

First time visit last night. What a gem! Great pizza and such lovely staff!

Pizza was delicious, staff were super friendly, great atmosphere. Two thumbs up!

First time we have visited this café, definitely won't be the last ! Staff very friendly and the food was delicious. Great service and BYOB is a game changer!! Highly recommend .

Top quality Sardinian cooking in a small restaurant tucked away in North Shields town centre. Highlight of this trip was an octopus and potato salad that I can't stop thinking about! Pizzas and pastas are absolutely lush. The restaurant is BYOB with no corkage which is also a plus. Also very child friendly. A lovely mix of people whenever we have visited, the staff are excellent and very welcoming.

Wonderful find. Delicious pizza and lovely service. Be even better once they’re licenced, saving on the overpriced Luke warm beer from the dated off licence over the road. Highly recommended, looking forward to going again.

Lovely staff and excellent food.

Delicious food, nice people and excellent value. ♥️

Loved it! Friendly staff, great service and the pizza was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going again.

Great food, great staff, cosy place!

Fantastic little Italians food Fantastic

A first time visit to this small, unpretentious Italian restaurant in the heart of North Shields. The service was excellent and matched by the very good and authentic Italian food. Combined with the BYO bottle policy, what a find! We'll be back as soon as we can.

The food is exceptional and the service excellent. It's a basic cafe layout, nothing fancy, but pleasant to be in. It isn't licensed, so take your own drink. This place is a little pearl in the middle of a tired looking North Shields. Plenty of parking outside, too.

Had the most amazing tea time meal here, service was amazing and the food was sooo delicious and hot! I honestly couldn’t recommend enough, a real hidden gem, if you haven’t tried then this is a must, B x

Gorgeous food, intimate space and BYOB - authentic Italian cooking that speaks for itself

Super friendly and attentive service. And the food, a real authentic Italian delight. Very tastefull. Don't forget to bring your own wine or beer... Went there a few times during our holiday in North Shields. The best Italian we have met in recent years, both here in England and at home in Germany, it couldn't be better! Thanks, will come back...

Delicious food, very friendly atmosphere and service

Service was excellent very pleasant and attentive staff. Food was delicious

my favourite restaurant in north shields. friendly staff and incredible food for a very reasonable price

Amazing pizza and pasta! So delightful and dealish!! Will defo be coming back, loved it so much ❤️

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing staff and the best food, such a delightful atmosphere we will most definitely be visiting again couldn’t recommend more!

Incredible authentic tasty Italian food. Excellent personal service. Best Italian at the coast by miles. Update: Just had the prawns, mussels, mushrooms, lasagna and pizza. And they made amazing gluten free pasta for my daughter. Outstanding

Really friendly and welcoming staff. I was surprised it was full on a Wednesday evening. It obviously had it's regulars. I'd personally prefer more choice in pizza, particularly meaty ones. But, the food was lovely. They don't have a liqueur licence so everyone brings their own beer and wine. There's an off licence along the road which had a decent assortment should you need anything.

A amazing food very warm and friendly atmosphere it takes a while for the food to come but we’ll worth the wait p.s you can bring your own wine and drinks in to to enjoy inside this lovely restaurant

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian food! Very fresh Frito misto and the best Carbonara I’ve had outside of Italy. My daughter loved her pizza, she said the salami was really tasty. Looking forward to our return visit!

Superb, home cooked Italian cuisine. No frills, great value

Great restaurant lovely food only negative is the font size on the menu is a bit small.

Don't be put off by the location, this is a liitle gem! Small but perfectly formed, an excellent and different menu. Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely return soon. Wish they did steak and fish though. And byo alcohol at the moment which saves a lot. X

What a hidden gem this is! Had a fabulous time last night. Food is absolutely fantastic too. Service fab- only one waiter/host and one chef! Puts many places to shame I tell u! Highly recommended 👏👏

Superb food and service at very reasonable prices. Excellent.

Authentic Italian dishes which were excellent and full of flavour! No alcohol served and a tight squeeze inside with mainly just small tables for 2 available which are all close to each other are the only slight issues. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return !!

Excellent Quality, very Authentic and very reasonable , always prefer a small independent business to a chain as the service and the food always better ..keep up the amazing work

Fabulous pizza, great choice of authentic Italian pizza

Food is amazing, I only had pizza, but it was the lightest dough base I've ever had and incredibly tasty. The pasta on the table next to us was freshly made and also very good (I was reliably informed 😊). Friendly place and busy! Oh, and it's BYO Bring Your Own (wine/lager/whatever's your tipple), so it's incredibly good value! We didn't realise, so I had to make a quick dash across the road to the Offy! I'm glad that was there 🤣🙏 Would go again.

Great restaurant, lovely food, great staff. Great to have a lovely restaurant 5 minutes from our house, we will be visiting here frequently.

Amazing service. The staff as so lovely and make you feel so welcomed. Really enjoyed the food. Will definitely be back!

The best Italian I ate. Well done guys!

Great Italian food, very authentic and good quality ingredients. An unlikely location for a great food experience but if you try it you will definitely be back.

Brilliant Italian diner. Staff are lovely and food is excellent

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Can't wait to come back. Edit: we've been back several times since the initial review and the food just gets better and better. The chef is supremely talented and the whole experience is very friendly. Best restaurant in North Shields without a doubt

Lovely friendly people quality food am a regular 😋 just wish it shut later

Had lunch here - the pizza was delicious and we did not have much of a wait 😋 the lady serving was really attentive. Coffee was lovely- not too strong. And i took some cannoli away with me- which was also delicious!! Would recommend trying here

Perfectly cooked Italian food, great choice too. Superb service. Lovely people. We'll definitely be returning very soon.

I have just been here for lunch with my wife and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcomed and at ease. The customer service was impeccable. We ordered two pizzas and they were fantastic. Both my wife and I lived in Italy years ago, so we could tell the pizzas were authentic and freshly prepared. The food and atmosphere reminded some us of Italy. I would highly recommend this place. We'll be back.

First visit after great recommendations and the quality of food and service (and conversations) was fantastic - pizza was perfectly cooked - best I have had in YEARS and the meatballs divine..!!! Will be going back

Top quality food and first class service.

Had a lovely evening with family enjoying delicious Italian food with excellent, friendly service - highly recommend 👌

Just catching up with the gourmands. . This little cafe in North Shields has to be the best authentic Italian eatery on the Coast.Served in unpretentious surroundings, high quality customer service and produce at value for money prices. Gives hope for the future.

Lovely food made by lovely people. The service is great. The quality of the food is so good. If you haven’t already been I suggest going here for food.

This is a little gem of a place. Will definitely visit again.

I love this place...Great staff and chef a1

Amazing pizza! Wife loved her focaccia and the baby loved the mixture! Lovely atmosphere and superb friendly staff. Will defo be back

My wife and I came here for lunch today not knowing what to expect. Wow, Francesco produces delicious freshly cooked authentic Italian dishes. The atmosphere is informal, relaxed and very welcoming. We'll be back!

Lovely place, very casual and cosy atmosphere and the owner / chef is very personable, welcoming and truly values his diners! The food was enjoyed by all of us and is authentic Italian.

5 Stars for sure... Food was simply fabulous.. All home cooked, authentic Italian food! Travelling to Italy every two months, it is safe to say this is the best Italian food I have tasted in England. Well worth a visit. Grazie Mile. I will 100% be back. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the restaurant... You will not regret it!! Love the murals done by artist P. Dixon aswell.

Fantastic food, fabulous staff, great atmosphere.

Visited this restaurant this evening . Really good experience , we had a lovely meal . . Excellent service and friendly staff. We will definitely be back again .

Fabulous restaurant with a great atmosphere and the food and service is excellent

We only ate a mixed starter and I drank a cappuccino, but the products are fresh and the atmosphere was very Italian, if you want an Italian experience, you must go, thanks for the hospitality and a chat in Italian, see you next time!

superb food,authenitic, great prices we have been three times since opening, ignore location once inside enjoy their fayre, friendly efficient sevice

Great food and great value..give it a try you won't be disappointed

Amazing little place. Fantastic owner/chef, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Just ignore the neighbours it's nothing to do with the very special Just Italy

Fab Italian food, really cheap and great value. Not in the best of locations but I cnce you're in, it's lovely. Pleasant staff. Quick service. Highly recommended. Don't forget there's no alcohol so if you want a beer or wine bring you're own. There's a little off-licence over the road which is very handy.

This is a little hidden gem in North Shields. Food was out of this world. Even the Italians in our group said how authentic the food was.and the prices were really reasonable. Staff were amazing. Will definitely be back here wish I could give more stars as it definitely ticks all the boxes 10 out of 10 from me.

Just an excellent place to eat. Cannot recommend it enough. Truly a hidden gem.

Veramente buonissimo! 3x adults and 3x teenagers had 3 courses each for under £25 a head. I used to live in Italy and I am particular about genuine, authentic Italian cuisine; this ticked all my boxes. I loved the fact it was BYO and Mary is the lovliest of hosts. Book a table or go early, the place was full by 6pm on a Wednesday evening. We will definitely be going back.

What a fabulous place. ‘Café’ doesn’t do it justice - this is an amazing, Italian restaurant. VERY VERY nice food, very reasonable, very authentic. Will definitely be back. ❤️❤️❤️

Had a lovely lunch with daughter and granddaughter. Meals were excellent. Staff and atmosphere lovely. Will definitely be back 💕highly recommend 👌x
