Little Nino's in Newcastle upon Tyne

Popped in today for lunch with my daughter - not a lot of seating, but we managed to grab a table. Service was excellent (order taken immediately, wait was probably just under 10 minutes for food) and food was delicious (opted for a Bolognese pizza and chips and a drink which came to around £13). Staff were lovely and brilliant with my young daughter. Everyone who came in to be served was greeted in a friendly manner - there were clearly a lot of repeat visitors. We've used them for takeaway before but wouldn't hesitate to visit again for lunch. Thanks again. Edit March 2025: Visited again since they've expanded - food and service brilliant again, and place is dog friendly too so was able to sit in. Really recommend.

Fab little place we go at least twice week owner and staff are great too

Carbonara was disgustingly greesy there was no sauce it was just greesethe rest was fine but cold.

Food was excellent, I would definitely recommend buying here.

One of Newcastle's best Italian restaurants, the price is great, the pasta is just right and soft, it's a must-go restaurant.

Amazing traditional napolitan pizzas. We visited the restaurant on a Saturday night and the staff was super. Although there's been a big flow of students for take aways, as the restaurant is located close to students accomodation, the atmosphere was nice and friendly. Definetely a must visit place. Just be aware its a small place so pre booking is advisable.

Lovely food and delivery service excellent - polite, friendly and professional

5 stars doesn’t do it justice, really. Always spectacular food, great customer service and a sense of community which is extremely hard to find these days.

Really nice food at this cosy place, very fairly priced with plenty of variety. Strongly recommend.

Exceptionally friendly staff, all four of them, both in the kitchen and at the bar. The best espresso and pizza in Newcastle! A beautiful ambiance, just like being at home.

Great service from the staff on the counter very friendly and great coffee. The food was fantastic and the cake was brilliant.

This is a great little chilled out pizza/pasta place. Staff were really good with everyone who came in, from the students getting takeaway to the little kid in a high chair. Really recommended.

Pasta was very dry like it hadn’t seen sauce in its life, extremely disappointing as this is usually best place to go

Always outstanding food! Everything arrives hot and perfectly packaged. Staff go above and beyond. Delivery driver is also so polite.

Please guys my pasta dish used to be amazing the last twice all I can taste is cream and pasta. It also only had 3 x 1cm ISH peaces of chicken.

The best Italian in Newcastle, amazing food, great Staff, perfect pre match food! 5/5!

Ate here a few times now and sampled a new dish each time I visited all being outstanding 👏 Really can't complain with anything at all from the food to the service 5 stars all round!!!

The renovation is lovely makes a good date spot and the food is delicious

So disappointed, I love your food but today the pizza was cold and delivery late. Hence the rating, sorry.

The staff are really nice and polite and the staff are great very nice and clean and maria is gorgeous 😍

This is a wonderful little place, just off the Spital Tongues end of Richardson road. The pizzas we ordered were absolutely delicious, with the best pizza dough/base I think I've ever had. All the prices are incredibly reasonable. I can't recommend this place enough.

Such an amazing bistro. Pizza is amazing and pasta dishes too. Fairly priced too. Highly recommend. It is a real gem.

Amazing food, good location and great staff

As always, thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely shocking. 2 hours to deliver a pizza and calamari. Calamari was not edible. Didn’t have the sauce and it was rock hard. Refund requested.

Great delivery and lovely food as usual. Thank you

I had the Polpette for lunch today and it was one of the best things I have ever put into my mouth. Absolutely delicious ❤️

amazing as always, thankyou! :)

Absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian food

Delicious lasagna and really good value. This is a really friendly neighbourhood restaurant with great service and lovely staff. Recommended! Had a great lunch here today.

Just been here up spital tongues with my mam and brother lovely little Italian family business. Big dishes and good prices. Nice atmosphere. Recommend.

Had lunch here today with a friend and it was just brilliant. Great authentic quality Italian food cooked to order. We had lasagne, linguine ragu, home cooked chips and tomato garlic bread. Everything was good. People that run this place are super friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend, it’s worth it! They are dog friendly too. Will definitely be back.

Thee best Italian scran in the northeast. Pizzas made fresh, Italian hits coming through the speakers limonchello on demand and Maradona on the wall. prendilo dentro di te!

We're students from Germany and we felt incredibly welcomed. The food was amazing and very affordable, the staff was open and very lovely and kind. The place is very cozy. So far the best place we've been to in Newcastle! Would return anytime! ☺️

Food is always incredible. Great restaurant!

Amazing, authentic Italian pizza made by two great Italian cooks. Better than the pizzas I had in Italy during my travels. I will definitely go back. Thanks!

Incredible food. Lunch or Dinner this place is amazing.

Insanely gorgeous Hot Chocolate... Massive portions of food.. all very reasonably priced and lush

lovely food every single time, couldn’t recommend enough!

this place does heavenly pasta. Mega yum. Thank you little ninos I didn’t know I needed u until now

Lovely food, pasta cooked perfectly

Ordered from these for quite a while and they've been getting progressively worse. This time I ordered Penne Bolognese. Tonnes of Penne cos obviously its cheap and easy to cook, but the amount of Bolognese is a joke!! It is barely detectable and they're charging £9 for it!!!

I’ve ordered from here a lot and the quality is excellent. Also value for money. However I ordered a 12” garlic bread last night and I wish I could add a pic as it was only actually 9”. I will order again but come on, give people what they pay for.

Very friendly staff and delicious pasta, highly recommend

Amazing food and excellent customer service. Thank you, will definitely order again.

black chips inedible and lasagne was as dry as anything how they could send food out like that is beyond me!!!

This is a fantastic outfit with perfectly fresh, tasty hygienic, low priced Italian food just like Home

Special focaccia sandwiches are 👌🏻 Always great food to be had here!

Lovely food definitely order again and the delivery guy was very helpful

Lovely food, big portions and very hot. Thank you to the delivery driver who took the time to wait for us!

Really excellent pizzas and very tasty homemade chips, lovely friendly delivery driver too, thanks.

Ordered to take out and the food was delicious. Pizza and pasta were as good as anywhere I’ve tried in the north east, great prices too!! I’ll definitely be back again

Delivery was a little late, very friendly restaurant staff explained it was due to the match, Delivery driver was lovely, food was lovely and loads of it, only downside, was the size of the container the pasta came in, the food cooled down straight away as the container was to big and the pasta was spread across the bottom of it, go back to smaller more compact containers food was much hotter.

Absolutely delicious food! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for authentic Italian cuisine. If I had to knock a point off it would be that I want some tiramisu 😂⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We moved in very near to this amazing Italian cafe/pizzeria in Spital at the beginning of July and they were newly opening and ever since we first came here it has been a perpeptual delight. The staff are very friendly (even multiple thank-you cards displayed openly to confirm it), the chefs and their food are delicious and the prices are highly competitive. Seeing all sorts of people feeling welcome enough to sit outside in the rain to enjoy their dinner or coffee and chat together is nothing short of beautiful. They have student and NHS discounts as if the rest wasn't enough. Grazie mio dio this place is here for the community. Worth a visit from as far away as Morpeth Ciao

Told food would come 8-15 to 8-30 food arrived at 9-15

Best about for scran stupid if you go anywhere else

amazing food, great portion sizes. definitely worth ordering from here. to top it off top class delivery service, very polite.

Hardly any sauce to pasta ratio, and type pasta served isn't even on the menu. This was inedible as effectively a tray full of dry spaghetti. Our Bolognese pizza also hardly had any topping. We've been into the cafe and the food was amazing unfortunately this wasn't reflected on just eat. Wouldn't order again I'm afraid.

Fantastic food, everything was perfect!

Absolutely delicious. 1st time ordering but won’t be the last. If I had to complain about one thing it would be the cheesy garlic bread has way too much crust

One of the nicest Italian restaurants I’ve tried

Very tasty food, nice and fresh and was hot when delivered. Class 👍

Amazing Food. Delivery on time.

Really good food (especially the pasta and sandwiches) and coffee, Maria and Antonio are sound too :)

Amazing ! Friendly staff great food great prices, what more do you want !

Delivery was awesome. Chips were decent, lasagne honestly seemed no better then a supermarket one.

Delivery was on time, although still could have been a faster delivery for smaller order. Friendly service, the food was hot and fresh, the pasta in all dishes were cooked perfectly, sauces delicious, especially the Arrabbiata & Grilled Mediterranean Veg. However, more veg would have been more generous to provide in this pasta dish. The only major downside was the overcooked seafood (squid & prawns), which was hard to chew & swallow. Other than that, the overall service rated high and definitley my go to Italian place to eat.

My friends and I love coming here (especially when we are hungover) the wonderful staff always look after us and we always leave satisfied! Thank you for everything!

Food is amazing, always hits the spot. My friends and I come almost everyday!!! Highly recommend!!!! Such lovely staff also.

The most amazing food. Being Italian it makes it difficult to find authentic places but this little gem makes you feel like you’re in Naples. Not just because of the delicious food, or the gorgeous Italian people who work there, but the decor and the ambiance. Will definitely be back. A special mention for the chunky chips….wow!!

The pizza dough has changed since last time, was good but the previous pizza was freshly made. I can see the difference. The service is excellent, the delivery Man walked up 5floors to deliver the pizza. Thank you.

My friends, partner and I have legitimately spent about £200+ here on takeaways in the past year Pasta is always sensational and would especially recommend the Vegetariana or Pollo di Nino. The pizza is good if not incredible, and I think North Terrace has it beat (especially when the deals are on), but it always feels homemade and filling Overall, a hidden local gem and subtly one of the best italians in all of Newcastle An absolute must-visit/must-order for anyone in the north west of Town!

First time trying here & will definitely be back! Beautiful food.

Everything was lovely, fresh and tasty. I just wish I could have ordered pudding.

I liked the place and the food was fresh, I did ask for spicy and there was not much so next time I will have to yell the to triple the chilli

Love eating here food always top notch, best Italian takeaway in the North East, could not fault it. 👌🏼

Great little takeaway/cafe , we ate in food was lovely, just the job.

Another delicious pizza, I wouldn’t go anywhere else now, and lovely friendly delivery guy.

Delicious pizza and mixed salad lunch served very quickly by friendly staff. Best pizza I’ve had in ages, very nice salad with zingy balsamic dressing. Cup of tea was great too! Highly recommended!

Food was execellent - we've ordered from them a few times now and the standards are always good. Had pizza and pasta and enjoyed them both.

Greta prices, lovely food. Student discount

Expected a lot better for the price, food was dry

Just picked up our umpteenth takeaway over the last 6 weeks and my 5 year old told me the Chef is the bestest in the world 😊

Carbonara is the best! Delivered on time with care lovely staff thanks

Amazing thanks and thankyou for the free drinks :) x

Amazing food as always ready for collection time thanks

Amazing as per thankyou the best carbonara ive ever had thanks

First time using little ninos and it’s nice to see a proper Italian pizza absolutely spot on defo ordering again

Home made quality food that we really enjoyed

The best takeaway pizza I've had, restaurant quality at home, staff were very friendly and helpful I'll definitely use again

Best chips I’ve ever had from takeout and pizza was delish

Lovely food as usual however forgot drink but went above and beyond and delivery driver came all the way back and brought me my fanta so thanks :)

This is an unexpected but amazing discovery in Spital Tongues! Excellent food and coffee, beats many Italian restaurant in the Town and friendly staff and service. And reasonably priced too. Recommended and a real discovery!

My pizza was rather small and had a pretty stingy number of toppings. Bit of a wait too despite turning up 25 minutes after ordering. Not the worst, but there's probably better pizza places in Toon.

Love the Marinara pasta and Caesar salad from here. Service always very friendly. Food arrives quickly and arrives hot. Thank you.

Really nice staff, very friendly and polite, Pizzas very good quality and cheaper than Dominoes. Will definitely order again.

Usually is amazing! But this time was very spicy don’t know if something just got mixed up but I don’t think Napoli or carbonara is meant to be spicy at all other than that was great!

I stumbled across this lovely little authentic Italian restaurant, whilst visiting the RVI. The meatball Panini was super tasty.

Amazing delicious food a must for those that luv Italian food. My favourite is the lasagna and a home-made chips are fantastic.
