Liosi's Italian bistro in Newcastle upon Tyne

An excellent gem of Italian food and ambience right in the centre of town!

Beeeeaaautiful food! Best carbonara since Italy (made the proper way 💖). The fresh warm bread and olives were amazing too - we had such a good meal at such a reasonable price too. Thank you!!

I’ve been here twice now once for lunch and once for an evening meal. Both times, the food was delicious, in particular the Ravioli Capesante was outstanding. I haven’t had starters here - just olives and bread which was pretty standard but served with a good olive oil. The lemon tart desert was decent, lovely base with tasty lemon topping and we were served complimentary limoncellos which was kind of the staff. The staff were super; helpful and friendly. Atmosphere wise - it is a bit more of a lunch time cafe/bistro vibe and more casual than a restaurant and small so we were a bit squashed up at our table for an evening meal. If you were looking for something fancy/formal then this might not be the best place, however it’s cosy, reasonably priced with tasty food and lovely staff - we had a great meal here.

Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant. Lovely atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. The food choice was great with wonderful flavours. Highly recommend.

Lovely little Italian out of the main hub of the city centre. Excellent service, friendly staff. Very authentic cosy feel. Good food.,

Thank you Al Dente for a lovely evening to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. Food was fab and table service friendly, quick and efficient (Pollo Arrabbiata was exceptional.) We would return. Even the grandparents said how much they enjoyed it and how clean the toilets were- you’ve definitely “past the test”!! Jxx

This Hidden Gem came highly recommended & did not disappoint. We travelled through from Morpeth on a Friday afternoon & enjoyed some amazing Italian cuisine accompanied buy some equally excelled red wine 🍷 . Can’t wait to return - Staff were amazing as well 👍

It feels really authentic - Huge portions - don’t be deceived by the pictures - Really lovely caesar salad - Pizza is decent - The seafood pasta (linguine allo scoglio) has so much tasty fish Finding parking can be a touch awkward

Loved it. We were lucky to get sears.we sat at the window on high stools. Shared a meats and cheese starter and pizza so delicious. Looking forward to returning

We visited for the first time tonight and fell in love with the place. A gorgeous, intimate restaurant with a great menu and a lovely team. We're definitely going to be back to try the incredible looking desserts.

First time here. And thoroughly enjoyed it. Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Staff were lovely too. Will definitely be back. Was a very busy evening but the staff kept everything flowing. No delays at all. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can’t recommend this place enough. Lovely Italian staff and chef! Will keep returning! Grazie

Had a wonderful family meal here. Great little place close to the city centre. Will be back.

Food super delicious,the best Italian food l ever try.Service very nice. Staff very kind and polite.Atmosphere nice and chill.l hardly recommend for people who would like try real Italian food.

Genuine Italian. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Tutto bene!

Friendly welcome, good service, excellent food and wine - what's not to like?

excellent food, fantastic staff, family atmosphere recommended

Sat outside on a rainy day. Excellent food and a reflection of just how popular this place is that you can’t a table at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon

What a nice place staff so friendly the were busy but we're able to get me and my other half in in realy short notice the focaccia was amazing I had the carbonara which was so lovely ive had a few but never had the meat cooked like that. my other half had the fettucine with salsiccia mushrooms cream and truffle which she said was amazing. If im ever back in newcastle I will be going back. Thank you

Absolutely amazing experiance! Adrian was so incredible! Such lovely service from him a true asset to the company :))) beautiful food as well

Gorgeous cafe and friendly staff. Fairly new place (as of Sept 2024) as it used to be Liosi's, so thought I'd give it a try. Popped in at the weekend for coffees and ended up having pizza as the menu was too enticing! Best pizza I've had in ages, the crust was that lovely soft, chewy, slightly charred crust that makes or breaks a pizza. Thankfully it's close to where I work, so looks like I'll be visiting some more...

i’ve been in this place before : good food and very kind staff!

Awesome pasta! Beautiful people!

Love this place! Easy parking in the area ✅ Must go for anyone seeking great Italian food✅ warm welcoming atmosphere from staff ✅

Authentic Italian dishes and amazing Italian staff, both chefs and waiting teams at Al Dente Cucina Italiana are going to work wonders to make your day. Delicious regular menu and great specials any time I have been there! Been there plenty times, and vibes, food, and drinks always all on point 😋 Super recommended! 💯

Visited on a lunchtime and it was very quiet. Food and service was good though. I will definitely be back.

Lovly little bistro. Right in the city centre and the staff are super friendly and kind. The food was fantastic take it from someone who is a peaky eater. The prices are fare. And the place it's self is rustic and homly.

Cold pizza but they made me a new one no discount offered

Gorgeous food nice friendly staff. Cost surroundings

I love this place. The food is good, the prices are reasonable and the people that work there are lovely

Legit Italian food served by legit Italian speakers. Good coffee, Italian beer, what more do you want? They take reservations for evening meals, so you should absolutely book while you're having lunch there.

Very delicious Italian food! This is the best fried calamari I ever tasted in Newcastle. Good service, every one has a big smile. I Had a awesome dinner time with friends.

Very friendly and delicious food. Really recommend!

Party of 8. Most of us enjoyed the food, reasonable price/value. Very good service but didn't have the wow factor.

Lovely place!! Staff is very friendly and food it's just amazing!!! Can't recommend enough!!

A recent addition to NE/Newcastle Italian restaurants and I was very impressed. Very friendly and efficient service, the food was great and it has a beautiful interior that doesn't shout for your attention when you're eating(unlike many other modern restaurants), thus creating a very nice atmosphere. There is outdoor seating too. A restaurant well worthy of a visit and support. I highly recommend.

Excellent, friendly Italian restaurant

As good as it gets at a reasonable price. No negatives on food or service

How did I not know about this place,what a hidden gem! Food was outstanding, service great. Pizza is the best I've had in a long time,home made tiramisu 🤤 looking forward to going back and exploring the menu even more. I'd recommend booking as it's small venue and you don't want to miss out!!

I went in for lunch with a few mates and ended up ordering the Pollo Al Funghi and Tiramisu from their ocean of options. My main course was lovely but it was the dessert that was absolutely godly. Great table service as well. I’d recommend this place to anyone who likes and appreciates good Italian food 🇮🇹🤌

Booked for an early dinner before a show. Great food, great service and lively little restaurant. Pizzas were spot on / authentic. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Lovely little Italian restaurant, food was excellent, very small place ,would advise booking

I came here on my day off and the staff were lovely. The food was amazing and the cappuccinos 5 ⭐️ I would recommend this place for a relaxing and enjoyable time. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Cosy, intimate, great location and fantastic food. Great vibes overall, would highly recommend! :))

Lovely little piece of Italy in Newcastle. Good food, good wine and good atmosphere. Delicious Italian food done well. Thanks 👍

Great little Italian..food and service excellent

Wonderful people, excellent food and very cozy environment. Thank you Liosi!

Beautiful food and amazing service. Will definitely be back

Beautiful food, lonely staff and owner. Thanks davide.

Best family owned traditional Italian restaurant I've been to in 20 years

I always love coming here! There's the friendly welcome, great coffee and delicious food. Perfect for a catch-up with friends.

Lovely food as excellent fresh ingredients. Quick and efficient service, interior very small so very cosy atmosphere

Fantastic food in cosy surroundings with wonderful staff. What more could you ask for?

Absolute hidden gem, best food ever tasted.highly recommended

The Best Italian food and service I ever had since I moved to Newcastle

I have been to liosi on numerous occasions and every time the staff food and atmosphere have all been really nice

Best Italians I've had in the UK by a mile and struggling to think of one better anywhere (I'm a little fat lad and love my Italian food 😉). Brilliant service, sensational food made by people who you can tell really care about what they are doing. My wife said don't tell people how good it is or we won't get in. The people who run and work in this little gem deserve it to be packed to the raftas morning to night.

I love to visit this restaurant! Seafood Linguine was amazing, staff are so lovely and friendly too. Happy Christmas Julie 🎄 xx

Intimate, welcoming, fabulous food

Live just behind, couldn’t be any handier! Small, independent, city centre Italian. Brilliant little spot right by Newcastle City Hall and Northumberland St. Food is always top tier, great value and the staff couldn’t be any friendlier/accommodating. Both sit-in and takeaway.

Went here on a whim last night with no booking. Staff couldn't have been better in getting us somewhere to eat. Food was excellent and service was top notch. Will definitely be going back.

Fantastic place, wonderful and fun people, creative chef Davide and delicious food !!! Posto fantastico, persone meravigliose e divertenti, chef Davide creativo e cibo buonissimo!!!

Best pizza I e ever eaten. Desserts to die for. Good value for money. Thoroughly recommend, a culinary jewel 😀

A great little bistro with friendly and helpful staff. We had the calzone and a pizza and both were fantastic!

Lovely little Italian. Meatballs super and Frito Misti superb. Pizza with pumpkin patch as gorgeous. And the staff are totally superb.

Lovely friendly place. Food was delicious.

Posto straordinario, gestito da persone straordinarie.

Excellent food & service. Very friendly staff. We are looking forward to going back.

Food was delicious and staffs are friendly. We ordered Caesar salad, got chocolate and carbonara. Highly recommend :)

Food was amazing and service equally great!! I had Caesar salad and my friend has a carbonara, both were huge potions!! Will definitely come again and recommend it to friends and family!! <3333

Just a lovely intimate restaurant. Food was fabulous with quality ingredients. Service was spot on. We will be back.

Great place and service, thanks Fabiano/team :)

Lovely bistro, beautiful food lovely staff lovely atmosphere, been a few times now

Cozy friendly Italian with fantastic food. Discovered Liosi by accident . So we thought we would try . It was a Saturday eve ... The were very accommodating and found us a table ... . I chose a seafood risotto .. it was so delicious . We sat outside for coffee, before we headed off to the City Hall for a show . I tried it again ,for lunch 4 days later ,as I was so impressed . Again the food (lasagne )was delicious .. all fresh and home cooked . The staff are very pleasant . I notice they are open for breakfast .... so I will try this option next . Can't recommend enough . (Very handy for the City Hall )

Fabulous find and Daniel was our wonderful waiter

Great food in a great restaurant! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a good meal out!

Really cute and quaint bistro I just happened to stumble upon! Decided to take advantage of the sunshine and have a coffee outdoors (to just watch the world whizz by me). I had to treat my husband to a cannoli- was recommended the pistachio one! Service wad fantastic and was nice to see both outdoors and indoors with customers ❤️ Will definitely come back again-may even treat myself to food here on my next visit.

Really cosy atmosphere! The food was great!

5 of us went on Saturday at 4pm, we were all super impressed with the quality of the food and also how friendly and efficient the staff were. Can't wait to go again very soon

Amazing staff, Amazing food, Great beers 🍻 😋, Super Italian restaurant.

Eould highly recommend. Food delicious and service excellent

Just popped in for a quick coffee to-go this afternoon and it was one of the nicest caramel lattes I have ever had. Also helped by two lovely waitresses/front of house ladies. Would definitely pop in for a bite to eat as the food and atmosphere both looked lovely.

So so so nice it’s unbelievable

Beautiful food as always stupendously scrumptious perfectly aligned to the amazing historic Georgian period architecture outside the premises! The staff are benevolent as always and always looking to go the extra mile! Silly not to go there if you are in the city to be honest. 10/10

The Prawn and mussel linguini was fab

This place is one of the best spots in town. Their food is to die for, and the service is top notch. I’m always met by friendly and attentive staff. Love will be back

We cannot comment on the food as, after having booked on line for my wife's birthday and received confirmation, we turned up and were told we did not have a booking even after showing the confirmation and were treated in a very off hand and rude way by the 2 waitress with an interigation on why we thought we had a booking . After leaving we managed to have a very nice meal in the hotel. I would advise you to check and recheck your booikng with them before you arrive!

Absolutely recommended. I've been there several times and the food is really good. nice staff and delicious food What can I say.. see you later

Went for the first time for dinner. We were a group of 6. The service and food were excellent will definitely be back . Thank you for a great night.

Wonderful food and service. Great selection of fresh and delicious food. Will be on my favourites list from now!

Excellent Italian bistro serving tip top food and coffee.

Ottima....... Pizza buonissima........ E antipasto molto piacevole.........

Gorgeous coffee lovely food and lovely staff

Delicious, authentic Italian food with excellent service. The chef even managed to pop out to say hello at the end of the night. Can't recommend them enough

I'm happy to say I celebrated my birthday at Liosi's. The staff are very friendly and accommodated all my requests, the food was to die for and the chef even came out to say hello and wish me a happy birthday. I would highly recommend this place for any celebration! I even went back for coffee the next day and they make the best coffee I have ever had in Newcastle! Thank you Liosi's, we will be back soon!

Served by the welcoming and attentive Brittany

This is the first time I have been to this establishment... The staff are lovely and the place is very relaxed...OMG!!! I had a "Bog standard" Ham and Mushroom pizza 🍕 It was UNBELEAVABLY delicious 😋 & quite possibly the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life!! (I'm 60 and love pizzas 😉). The weather was awesome, so sitting and dining Al Fresco was an added bonus. I can't wait to come back and try something else from their extensive menu.

Love this place! Felt really authentic and the staff are great. It's just opposite the Elison place car park too so I'm looking forward to trying the coffees on my way into town 👌🏻

Great late lunch! The portions were fantastic. Service, food and drinks were excellent.

Just had the best fillet steak and mash potato with kale - the flavours were divine ! Davide the Chef is unbelievably talented . The best in Newcastle by far …… bravo Maestro
