La Giardino Caffe in Northumberland

My family and I went for Sunday lunch at 6pm, and it was easily one of the best Sunday roasts we've had in a long time. The portions were generous, with plenty of perfectly cooked meat, a great selection of fresh vegetables, and rich, flavorful gravy. At £11 for adults and £7 for kids, it's fantastic value for money. Although we didn't bring our dog this time, we noticed that the place is very dog-friendly, making it a great option for pet owners. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be coming back very soon!

it was my wife&I 42 years Annaversry on weds we had a3course meal it was lush the service was first class 100%professional very polite it's the best food I've had that's why I give them a 5***** Rating iwill be telling everybody about this eat out first class food& First class service will be back again 100% many thanks for making it avery special day for my wife & i🥂🍾🥂🍾❤️

Great Sunday roast and the other dishes of pasta looked good! Massive portions so be aware if you can only eat small amounts. Took home so sweet treats and they were excellent. Will be back during the week for the special offers

7 of us went last night (Wednesday). Food was delicious and staff were soooo friendly and helpful. Even when I spilt a glass of water. Sorry again for that. We will be back. ❤️

Not recommended. My wife and I went to eat here, we were told that the 'garden' between the restaurants were shared. I ordered a steak from the restaurant next to Muka and my wife tried to order a sea bass from muka. (now called La Giardino). We were told that she could not have the sea bass as it was on the Special Menu. I had to eat alone and my wife shared my chips. Unbelievable. Thanks for upsetting my wife. This was my worst ever eating out experience. So you responded to state that The sea bass is available from your main menu for customers in the secret garden. That is where we were sitting and was refused the sea bass. I suggest you train you staff better. Still 1 Star it would black one off it was an option. NOT Recommended!

Wow what a hidden gem ! This place is fab .. Specials menu excellent value, and food was superb . Chicken Kiev one of the best I’ve had , vegetables cooked to perfection . Starters and deserts lovely . Easy parking . Lovely family run restaurant excellent service .. We will be back for sure !

During our recent visit to Caffe Muka Pizzeria & Bar in Seaton Delaval, we were thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. The meal began with a delightful garlic bread that was perfectly baked, offering a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful center. For our main courses, we sampled the Pollo Kiev, Carbonara, Pepper Chicken, and Rosemary Chicken. The Pollo Kiev featured a tender chicken breast with a rich, buttery garlic filling that was simply delectable. The Carbonara was a creamy delight, with the pasta cooked to perfection and enveloped in a savory sauce. The Pepper Chicken offered a harmonious blend of spices, delivering a dish that was both flavorful and satisfying. The Rosemary Chicken was equally impressive, with the herbaceous notes of rosemary enhancing the succulent chicken. The staff at Caffe Muka were exceptionally friendly and attentive, contributing to a warm and inviting dining experience. The restaurant itself boasts a clean and comfortable ambiance, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions.

Perfect fillet surf and turf here today, with lovely fresh salad. Quality meat and juicy prawns cooked just as I ordered. Good food, great service and a friendly atmosphere.

The quality of food is outstanding. We love coming to Muka, there is always a friendly welcome. Great service and atmosphere.

*Takeout Sunday Dinner* Second time we have had a takeout dinner from here. Both times, very good. Portion sizes are very decent, everything tastes lovely, especially the gravy! The veg isn’t anything fancy, but it’s does the trick when you don’t want to make your own dinner and have all the dishes after! Highly recommend and will definitely be popping in to eat in! Well done Cafe Mukka

Went for an early tea. Excellent quality and very good priced food. Great menu and good service. We'll be back.

Canny Italian pizza! Came here on a Sunday as didn't fancy a Sunday dinner which is great as they have their full menu available on a Sunday. Had Kiev pizza and the pesto pizza with the Italian sausage. Both were very tasty and service was great. Only thing we hadn't booked so were on a table right next to the door, so might be a good idea to make a booking! Nice little place and the desserts looked lush!!

One of the best Sunday lunches around and the portions are large and the staff are so friendly and the owners are very pleasant. We will be back.

I had Sunday lunch here after recently moving to the area and brought my parents along too . The service was brilliant , the atmosphere cosy and welcoming , and the food was amazing ! We have tried many Sunday lunches and this is definitely up there with one of the nicest x the coffees and desserts are also a lovely . We will definitely be back , lovely little place

Went for the first time today after seeing a recommendation, absolutely fantastic service and the food is amazing, will definitely return to this place we’re already planning our next visit. Update from last review, I have now been here 5 times and had various meals from Pizza to Steak and Sunday lunch, the food is always fantastic served piping hot and not a long wait at all, the staff are all very friendly and make you very welcome, will definitely keep supporting this fantastic place.

We couldn't fault it, went for a family meal on Christmas eve and we could be making it a new tradition! What lovely people, lovely food, lovely decorated and lovely atmosphere! Thank you from the bottom of our heart for giving up your Christmas eve to make our Christmas eve! 🎄❤️🤶🧑‍🎄

Fantastic food from a varied menu, excellent service from friendly staff.

The perfect place for a quick lunch after buying a Christmas tree from Edelweiss. Friendly and fast service, delicious Italian food, welcoming to children.

What a lovely place to eat and drink. Food is incredible. Clearly run by a devoted family. Service was amazing and food was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little family run restaurant. Staff very friendly, welcoming and attentive. We've ate here 3 times now.... pizza unreal. Stonebaked Italian pizza. Dog friendly and very good with our dog. We will be back.....

Lovely food and service. Highly recommended

Hands down the nicest meal we have had in years! We got a lovely welcome, including our dog who was given a treat, he then had a puppachino. The service was fantastic, cocktails gorgeous! The food was on another level! Beautiful! Highly recommend the cannolis they were amazing! Thank you we will be back tomorrow for Sunday dinner! 😊

Such a sweet spot tucked away. Who knew. Great 2 course pasta lunch. Good portions and tasty too. Lovely atmosphere and service. In today's ever increasing prices Muka is affordable whilst a genuine feeling of chic eatery.

Great welcome, staff very attentive and food was amazing

Lovely staff, food and location. My absolute favourite place for pizza :-)

Fantastic Sunday lunch served from 12 noon to 7pm. Great value for money and a good selection of starters.

Been meaning to post about Muka for a few weeks. We live round the corner on Wheatfields estate and are so glad we've stumbled on this little gem. Was great as coffee shop but has now gone up a gear, especially with the quality of the pizzas on offer. I had the Italian sausage pizza and my girlfriend the Margherita. Both were superb traditionally cooked in pizza oven with the crusts perfectly crispy and the dough super moist and chewy (in the right way). We've eaten some good Italian pizzas and only a week or so ago pizzas in bologna which weren't as good as those from Cafe Mukka. We haven't tried the restaurant yet but that looks really chilled so will do soon to give the risotto di mare a go. I'd urge anyone in the area to try this place, streets ahead of the other pizza offerings, both in Delaval and the wider Seaton valley area, cos you won't be disappointed. And they do takeaways also.

Fabulous little place, great service, amazing food. Highly recommend a visit we Will definitely be back

What a gem this place is, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and great value, I had pasta Roma which was so tasty. Forgot to take pics! The restaurant is lovely and comfy with beautiful decor. Great selection of desserts that you can take away. Looking forward to going back.

Beautiful food and service. Great value. Pizzas are delicious and can highly recommend the Mukka Pasta.

Since this restaurant has been taken over it's gone from strength to strength, Muka pizzeria has done themselves proud with the amazing food, 2 courses for £12 or 2 for £18 off the a la carte menu. We have have been three times now and can not fault the food, the amazing attentive service and the clean friendly Caffe we dined in. If your out and about please give this lovely family's business a visit you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing food, fabulous staff. Lovely family run business

I visited yesterday late afternoon, and had the special menu which was very reasonably priced. The food was all excellent, all the staff were friendly and helpful, would recommend.

First visit since new family took over and we will 100% be back …Fabulous meal at a great price we really enjoyed it

Had a meal here tonight it was unreal. The food was so tasty I couldn't fault it at all. Wine was also very nice and the service was great. We had the 2 course special for £18 worth every penny and the dessert was good 👍 we will be back soon. Thank you

Fantastic value for money, The food has always been great. Lovely family run restaurant.

My wife and I have had two meals here in the last two weeks, the second being Sunday lunch on their first day. Both meals were absolutely amazing. Very friendly and chatty staff. See you again soon.

A lovely family run restaurant with fantastic food.. Me and my family visited this evening, the welcome was lovely and the young man advised us we could sit out the front with our two dogs.. All the staff are very attentive and made sure we had drinks and kept checking if our food was OK. I had a Calzone Classico and quite frankly it was the best one I've had since I lived in the USA. If you are around the area I suggest stopping off and trying it out, you won't be disappointed..

Had a lovely vegetable omelette for breakfast Really tasty with an added surprise of a few potato skins on the side. Coffee good too we will be back soon.

Gorgeous food! I had the chicken with Diane sauce and it was delicious. My husband had the 'mare (seafood) risotto' and said it was amazing. Staff were very pleasant and cheerful. Would recommend.

Tried this lovely place during the week and it was outstanding food & service. That good we have been back today! Beautiful food and great service!

The food was delicious, staff very friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Also sell delicious cannolies😋

Wow what an amazing authentic Italians. Highly recommend the food and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Fabulous meal, very generous portions and lots of choice. Was served by a very polite young lad. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Recently under new management of it's own chef/owner. Same wonderful room but with great food & friendly staff. Delightful experience.

The best pizzeria around! The staff was so lovely, the pizzas and calamari were delicious and the atmosphere is just amazing. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

amazing space beautifully decorated and omg the food is amazing

My parents stopped by for hot drinks & something to eat on 10/02/2024 as they are moving into the area & I had recommended this cafe to them from my past experience. The staff were rude & dismissive, giving their regulars good service & attention, whilst my parents got their drinks spaced apart & the food long after they had finished their drinks. No top ups of drinks were offered & when it was pointed out about the service being disjointed, received a shrug from the waitress who then walked away. All patrons should be treated equally & with respect. This was not the case here & we will not be frequenting there again. It's an absolute disgrace treating people like that & they should be ashamed!!!!!

Nice place, on my doorstep. First visit on Sunday morning, was impressed. Was a lovely bacon stottie and pot of tea. 4 stars for atmosphere, as it was very quiet, yet to see the place when it's busy, sure it'll be canny like hinny pet!

Amazing home cooked chips. 👌👌 Nicely filled pannini

Lovely staff and beautiful food xx

Scone was heated too much making it hard. However it did taste ok. But no tea cakes and no bread to make toast. Coffee was nice though.

Delicious food but no gender neutral toilets

Love stopping here after my usual dog walk, iced teas and coffees are spot on. Always got too many cakes to choose from!

I had a sausage sandwich but it was cold.

First visit for us this morning - what a lovely café! Food was great, staff were so friendly and the fact it's doggy friendly in all areas is the icing on the cake for us! We will defintely be back 🐾

Lovely cosy little cafe, food and drink lovely

First time visit no doubt will not be the last one as l well pleased l was introduced to the secret garden.

Dog friendly. Pleasant experience. Staff very helpful. Dog loves the puppuccino.

Dog friendly cafe, the ladies always deliver my beagles puppachino very quickly and ever gave him some extra sausage to snack on when I ordered food last time.

lovely cafe serves beautiful food and coffee and staff are nice and decor is lovely.. what's not to like

Love this place. The staff are so welcoming and attentive. Great space for casual meetings too. The decor is gorgeous! Lovely cakes and a great stop for a breakfast sarnie.

Just love going to this wee place,coffee is great, cakes are great,and the staff are lovely. To cap it all,they can understand my Scottish accent,and I can understand them!!!!😂. What's not to love about this gem.

Great food and service with loads of free parking just across the road. We went for afternoon tea and couldn't quite finish it all
