Lollo Rosso Italia in Northumberland

First time I have been food was lovely and alyho we were a large party the service was very quick would definitely recommend the Lollo Rosso Italia

Unlike the terminator, I won't be back.

5 adults and 2 kids. Pasta pizza and a sirloin steak. 2 starters and 4 alcoholic drinks and 4 soft drinks. Bill was £377.00. Questioned it obviously and the waiters excuse was they must of added another tables order on or a table who left without paying!! Still came to over £200 when It was corrected. First time we've been but never again.They weren't even bothered. I think they rely on people being drunk and wouldn't notice but we weren't and we did!! Overrated pasta and pizza cafe.

Absolutely impossible to make a reservation. Tried 6 times to call at different times and no one answers the telephone!

Myself and my wife dined here on a packed Friday night for a late 10yr anniversary having had a busy few Weeks and in desperate need of some TLC. Not only did the team squeeze us in (sorry for not booking) with no delay, but the service, food and atmosphere were sensational! This is and will continue to be for many years an absolute gem in this community. The place was running like a sewing machine! Thank you for the fantastic evening!

The interior is beautiful, the staff are amazing and the food is excellent.

Overpriced Italian food. I’ve had better in Newcastle city centre. I think the new owner is only interested in profits. I wouldn’t go back if my life depended on it. They are a profit machine. Giannis is much better. Even Wetherspoons!! 🙌🙌🙌

Good food, Good service, Good atmosphere, it’s almost always very busy so worth booking ahead in advance.

The food was all excellent. Especially enjoyed the salmon risotto. Staff was friendly and helpful and made out birthday boy especially happy. Have the tira misu! Thank you.

High quality food, excellent service and staff and a great atmospheric environment- the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too - well done guys !!

Fabulous lasagne! Very kind and helpful waiters. Enjoyed the lunch set menu.

A warm welcome from friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food at a very reasonable price at lunchtime.

Fantastic only went for a beer felt like royalty thank you excellent service and welcoming

Fantastic food and amazing service!

Having been to Lollo Rosso a few times with friends,and enjoyed it,we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary there.When we told them it was a special day,we were given a glass of prosecco.The meal was superb and the staff very friendly and attentive the whole time we were there.When we ordered sweets,they brought marsh mallows on a board with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate sauce and all the waiters sang.It was a memorable anniversary day.Thankyou.

Found this fantastic cafe on a visit to Morpeth recently. Very friendly and welcoming. Great food. Fantastic coffee.

Disappointed, I had the set meal lunchtime special which was poor value. The ingredients were cheaper versions of what you would expect elsewhere. Limited starters. Fish of the day coley! Mozzarella was not buffalo. Very limited vegetarian options. Vegetable Pasta dish not much vegetables and not very tasty, green leaves looked like spinach where you would expect basil. Desert ice cream, no extra topping such as fruit.

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere

We had an extraordinary time staying in Morpeth while visiting Northumberland for the first time. We had breakfast at Lollo Rosso cafe every morning and loved it and then enjoyed a special dinner with dear friends on our last night ... our meal was fantastic, the service was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you for a lovely and memorable time.

Lollo Rosso did an excellent job providing high quality meals at good prices for myself and my extended family on my wedding day! Food was great and reasonably priced, staff were friendly and extremely helpful and accomodating. I would reccommend it to anyone visiting Morpeth.

Lovely food as always but staff less attentive

Food was delicious, staff friendly

lush staff decent service mint drinks

After a slight mix up over our booking we were seated & enjoyed a fabulous meal. I can recommend the risotto with chicken & saffron & the battered zucchini.

I been been really looking forward to visiting this place as it was recommended. However the service given by the waiters was really poor and unprofessional. Give it a miss.

My favourite italian restaurant. Excellent!

Such a bad experience last night, no management, staff chatting, service slow and food v average to poor. Won’t return for a while. Waste of time and money. Really v unhappy

Unfortunately disappointed, came in for some drinks. One of the staff said we can have drinks only, after 10 min someone said sorry you have to order food too :/ big shame And they didn't give my change back!!!

Excellent meal and service highly recommend Dean our waiter was very professional and friendly . Thankyou for a lovely evening

Visited for my birthday and couldn't fault the service, food, and atmosphere. We were served by a great member of the team Colin, who was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and we enjoyed a bit of chat with him. The restaurant was extremely busy as it was a Saturday evening but the service was spot on, we weren't hurried, the food served at nicely spaced intervals, it was piping hot and delicious. We had starters of bruchetta and black pudding in peppercorn sauce, which my partner said was amazing! Mains were both pasta dishes with meatballs and a chicken, pancetta with mushrooms in a tomato sauce with a fresh garlic bread to share which were delicious. We did indulge in desserts with a tiramisu and profiteroles which were lovely too 😋 We have just recently returned from Italy and this was better than some meals we had there! I've been here many times but this meal was exceptional and my partner had never been but was highly impressed so we will be back before too long! Well done all the team👍.

5 star , staff were great , food was as good as ever, atmosphere was lovely. Manager came over and had nice chat which was appreciated. 100% recommend.

Our go-to place for Italian dining. Great food. They also do Gluten free pasta. Very friendly staff. Can get very very busy on weekends. Expect 30-45 minutes wait for your food to arrive on busy days.

Quite superb. Had lunch here today. Great food, great service, great value for money. Nothing more to be said. Thank you.

Twice recently we have had to wait one hour for our starters, once on a Saturday night being seated at 8pm, once on a Thursday lunchtime being seated at 1pm. Not good enough I am afraid. Different reasons given by waiters to that of the owners ranging from a party of 100 in, to two chefs down, to not taking orders to let the kitchen catch up. We love the place, frequent visitors and have sung its praises over many ,many years. There appears something fundamentally wrong at present. Staff still fantastic but you can sense their frustration at not being able to provide the service they normally do and can.

We have had a really nice time , the Cannoli were delicious and very tasty, real Sicilian cannoli, nice coffee, nice atmosphere and lovely staff!

Went for food and the food wasn’t the best got given a butter knife to cut a pizza the pizza wasn’t cooked properly at all we also got whistled at by most of all the staff and we asked tgfor manger to sort it out and he laughed and did nothing do not go here waste of money and time

Omg was recommended to this place and wow attentive charismatic staff, food was good. and the best pint I'd had so far in the north! Was really pleasantly overwhelmed. Now I recommend here fyi

My partner had vegetable risotto and I had the halibut. We both really enjoyed our meals. Service was attentive and very friendly. The restaurant was half full as it was early and so the atmosphere was quiet. Overall a very nice experience and we will definitely return.

Lollo Rosso is very well know for it's delicious food, charming staff and great prices. I was so looking forward to returning after almost 2 years. Sadly I was a bit disappointed. It was busy (as usual) but not horrendous as there were still tables available on both floors. I had the button mushrooms to start and they were so bland!! The garlic butter sauce was incredibly watery and you couldn't taste any garlic. My father absolutely loves Lollo but even he agreed they were very poor. Everyone else enjoyed their starters which I was so pleased about as they were friends from the South and we wanted to show them one of the best restaurants in Morpeth. The scallops and salmon starter was beautiful. Sadly the staff didn't check in with us during the starters or mains and we had to flag someone down to take another drinks order. I waitressed for over 4 years and I completely understand it gets busy but keep a smile on your face, check in with tables and take a breath. Customers feel so much better when they feel seen. My main was king prawns and rice which was lovely. Didn't have the punch of flavour I was hoping for but nice enough. My partner had gluten free pasta which he said was lacking flavour and the sauce was very watery and not thick enough. I tried some and agreed. The gluten free pasta though was good and cooked well. We will of course be returning as it may have just been an off night but hoping the new owner addresses any issues raised. They're soon to have a new menu including Vegan and Gluten Free options which will be good to see when it starts. Not a horrendous visit but had better in the past.

Tasty food with great service. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommended restaurant at Morpeth.

Had a wonderful meal with friends 3 evenings ago. The staff were attentive, professional and friendly and every dish was superb. We just loved the Ravioli al Mare. Great dining venue

Disappointed. We loved Lolol Rosso for years. Last Tuesday was disappointing with staff lacking direction and the service was not as we regularly enjoyed. To have to ask for a portion of bread in an Italian restaurant is not authentic (and charged on the bill) and no finishing shot. Food served is still lovely however those nice touches and personal appreciation could cost the restaurant dearly

Amazing. Food was gorgeous and all the staff are lovely.

Just got home. Great night. Buzzin' atmosphere. Attentive staff - big mention to Kai, top man. Food was first class. The porkahawk was amazing, beautifully cooked, not dry, tasting phenomenal. The other three mains and the tomato GB were equally superb. Cannot fault any aspect of the venue, staff, food and drinks. Can't wait to go back.

I think unfortunately this may be the last time we go, the food was nice even though things had been forgotten thats was fair enough, but it was the noise and children run laps around the place so we have just decided not to go back, which is a shame as we have had some lovely meals there, but unfortunately every time we have been lately it has been carnage.

Had another fabulous night at Lollo Rosso celebrating Joanna’s 40th. great food, music atmosphere, with family and friends🥂 Huge thank you to Enrico, Matt, Perri, Sofia and your amazing team for looking after us x

It's a nice family friendly place to eat. A good variety of food. The food Portions are also okay but not as they used to be.

Excellent lunch! Great value, service, food and atmosphere.

Pizza was average but friendly staff and offered after meal tipple on the house!

Lunchtime special, food delicious but service quite slow.

I rang the restaurant on Thursday to place an order for collection on the Friday. It was quite a big order so I thought it would be better to organise early. The gentleman I spoke to said they would lose the ticket if I placed the order the day before and to call back tomorrow at the same time (3pm). I called back the next day at the same time, to then be told they weren’t accepting orders because the restaurant was too busy. Avoid!

First time. Heard good things,not disappointed. Food superb,excellent portions and beautiful-mussels exceptional

Oh dear that was positively the worst Italian meal we have ever had ! Both pasta dishes were bland flavourless no zing certainly not very lively on the pallet , The ambiance certainly doesn't inspire romance we had not been before and certainly won't be back A disappointing dinner for two !!

Food, service, & atmosphere all excellent

Lovely night out. There was 14 in our party, the service was excellent

Not only was this the best customer service I've received in a long time, the food was also absolutely amazing. First time visiting. Will be back very soon.

We were here tonight for a friends birthday, absolutely amazing food and nothing was any trouble at all, the waiters was fantastic, only names I got to know where Thomas and Colin, thanks you all you went out of your way to look after us

A wonderful place to celebrate birthdays or any other occasion. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere

We decided Mondays a good day to go out for lunch with good friends...this was a great choice. We will go back soon

Outstanding restaurant, great food, great service, and excellent customer service. A 5-star experience every time we visit.

An AMAZING place with FABULOUS food and EXCELLENT service

visited new cafe today great coffee /cakes , very welcoming service and reasonable prices

Had a cracking meal with the wife and daughter and her partner for their birthdays,the staff were brilliant went above and beyond 👏 👌

A large piece of Ischia in the heart of Morpeth. Light and airy with lots of space. The staff are on the ball, and the 'Boss', Giovanni, ever present with his personal touch.

Food was superb and staff were so attentive and helpful an excellent experience

Absolutely superb!! Wonderful atmosphere and terrific service. Food was outstanding - I had the Tomachop and my wife a seafood medley. Both were superb as were our desserts. Cannot speak highly enough about a superb evening at Lollo Ross. Thank you to everyone there.

Lovely coffee shop bistro , just opened . Service good , lovely atmosphere plus reasonable priced food & drinks .

Well, pretty average really. Expensive for the quality and quantity. The Lasagna Was sloppy no different to a microwave meal. No joke I’ve had more authenticity in Wetherspoons around the corner. Staff were ok tho, helpful and friendly.

Another fabulous mealat Lollo Rosso. Food and service superb made even better by the manager Chris with very friendly and personal attention! We will certainly be back again. Thankyou all xxx

Over the many years I have visited Lollo Rosso’s, it has never failed to disappoint, the restaurant always has a fantastic atmosphere and the staff are just amazing, I would like to say a special shout out to Dillon Davis who is just top notch and a credit to Lollo’s.

Went to visit today with my partner and our small dog. If you havent been before, its located in Morpeth which is hot spot for walkers and people with dogs. To our suprise they don't let dogs in the Caffè yet every other business In Morpeth do. Before we left I did notice the general crowd and atmosphere was for the "older" generation. So probably a good thing we didn't get a table in the end. Refusing entry for anyone with a dog, must be one of the stupidest ideas when you have your business in a hotspot for dog walkers and hikers.

Great food, great staff, great ambience and at £17.99 for 3 x delicious courses, great value for money too!

Out standing staff and very attentive from reception to end of service A huge thank you to Mr petini for looking after us.

Started with a prawn cocktail, two pieces of lettuce covered with lots of defrosted small prawns still soaking wet with a tiny pot of mary rose sauce and three stalks of chives, Ordered a steak with Diane sauce for the main course but only one side of veg included, either Mediterranean veg, chunky chips or salad, all very small portions, the steak arrived on the plate and was completely covered from edge to edge with sauce, it looked like something you would find on the grass in a field of cows. However, the party atmosphere was great and the staff were brilliant

Group of nine of us were out for a very special meal. Unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. I ordered chicken dolcelatte and was served the vegetables without the chicken. I had to ask for the chicken which had obviously been forgotten about and when it arrived 10 minutes later it was raw. We won't be returning.

Food & service first class, well done everyone.

My friend and I ordered the Ravioli Mare and mezza paccheri miguel and asked for the meals to be split equally between us. To our delight, we were told that the request wouldn't be a problem. However, two full meals were brought out, which were subsequently returned to the kitchen to be halved. I appreciate that when you order a full plate of mussels, it is common for some of the shells to be empty. As our meals were a seafood mix, we had a total of 10 mussels between us. The mussels were placed on top of each plate, making it virtually impossible not to notice that the shells were empty. Each of us had one mussel and four empty shells (well, a small prawn in each that may have slipped in). The restaurant did bring out new mussels without any empty shells. Normally, I probably wouldn't have written this review, but one of our party also had a more serious issue. Her meal was not brought out with everyone elses (just her veg). She asked where her meal was, and it was obvious that it had been missed. When it was finally brought out, the chicken was pink and raw looking and had to be returned to the kitchen. After she finally received a cooked meal, she was told that the chicken she returned was cooked but strangely the new chicken was a completely different colour inside which was obvious to us as a piece of the first chicken was on a side plate. The annoying thing was that it took my husband to have a quiet word with the manager to suggest that someone needs to apologise. It has just come to my attention that a another member of the party who had chicken with a sauce is not very well today!

As I used to work up the road at another venue I only ever had take away or delivery from Lollo Rosso until last night. As take away and delivery were always excellent, I knew bringing my dad here would be a spot on choice, we were not disappointed! Although I'm a big eater and love my food I knew that the Meat Feast Pizza that I fancied was going to be a proper adult sized one so we didn't opt for the undoubtedly delicious starters. The pizza was perfect as I expected, hand formed from perfect dough and stone baked in a wood fired oven, topped with their excellent tomato base and fiordelatte mozzarella the meat selection was both generous and wide ranging from spicy pepperoni to beef meatballs and beautifully sliced ham. Dad went with their Penne Al Fredo which was superb, the chicken was succulent and melted in the mouth (had to swap a piece of my pizza with Dad to get that without being growled at LOL!), the sauce compliments the chicken and pasta delightfully. As a dessert I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try their Tiramisu, The creamy Mascarpone was not at sweet as I've had elsewhere and the reduced amount of Marsala meant that it was much lighter and all the better for it as the flavours were more delicate and balanced, the small sprig of spearmint and the ripe raspberry made for wonderful flavour bombs which made for excellent counterpoints to the wonderful texture and flavours of the Tiramisu. 10/10 turned up to 11!

What a great 'party' restaurant! Excellent food and entertainment.

We had a set 3 course lunch with wine. We went in for a Happy Hour lunch. Changed our minds when we saw the fabulous menu. So delicious

Early on a Saturday night and vibrant atmosphere, food delicious and outstanding service … what more could you ask for?

We had a table booked for 6pm and the service was very friendly, quick and efficient. The food was first class and cooked to perfection. Will definitely return.

This is the best Italian restaurant in which we have ever eaten, even better than restaurants actually in Italy. Not only is the food first class and excellent value, the staff can’t do enough for you and are incredibly friendly. Decent wine list. Only downside was the very limited choice of non-alcoholic drinks. We’re about 25 miles away but will be back there again and again. P.S. the gamberoni starter is to die for!

We went here after a football match for our local team after reading the many positive reviews, and were not disappointed. There were many inviting dishes on the menu but I settled for the black pudding in peppercorn sauce and beef stroganoff whilst my wife had blue cheese mushrooms and Carbonara. Our lad had the most amazing pizza. All served very attentively and promptly. All in all, a great experience which went some way to making up for the disappointing result of the football!

Excellent! Great food and efficient service

Literally the best restaurant in the North East, book early to avoid disappointment, I cannot tell you how good the food and service are at Lollo's, you have to try it for yourself, The Best!!!! Can't wait for their new venture, it will be gorgeous also I bet x

It can be hard to get a decent meal in Morpeth in time to get to the 6:30 concert during the Morpeth Gathering. Lollo Rosso proved to be the solution. We booked for 5pm at the start of their happy hour and were whisked to a table by the window which also had space to stack musical instruments without cluttering up the restaurant. Our one course meal came with speedy, efficient service and understanding that we had to pay and run at the end to get to the Town Hall for 6. We must return for a more leisurely meal another time.

Table of eight. We waited 2 hours for food to be served. No reductions on the bill just free drinks to make up for diabolical service. Reputation seems to have superseded basic service here sadly. Last Lollo visit for us!

Fantastic food.. Great service.. all you need to know is that you need to go!

This super friendly and welcoming restaurant was full at 19.40 when I popped in during an overnight business stay but I was told a table would be available in 20 minutes. Enjoyed a lovely meal with wonderful service.

Wonderful family meal, couldn't ask for more.

Not been to Lollo for a while but will be back soon! The food was delicious and despite being very busy the staff were attentive. My partners pizza was loaded with topping and the base cooked perfectly while my seafood risotto was full of flavour and had ample salmon &prawns in it. The place was full with a few big party tables but we were seated upstairs which was a little quieter. This is a gem of a restaurant for Morpeth.

Not been for a while but will definitely be back very soon. Busy restaurant but staff were friendly and a lovely atmosphere . Food was just delicious especially the seafood risotto which had lots of prawns and salmon. Pizzas were delicious with plenty topping and perfectly cooked base. Reasonably priced and an all round good experience.

First time visiting last night and can't wait to go back. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming with amazing service. The food was delicious! Huge portion sizes, wide variety of choice and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly, happy, sociable and definitely enhanced the whole experience. Drinks on the house were offered simply to make your night better, recommendations for cocktails were provided and they always hit the spot. Cannot recommend this place enough, we will be back frequently.

Had the most wonderful night staff are so friendly and made us so welcome such a lovely atmosphere in there and the food was delicious will definitely be back next time we visit morpeth thank you Lollo Rosso

Large bustling Italian always busy - a good sign! Friendly professional staff and excellent food and wine; good value. Popular with birthday celebrants. One of the best Italian restaurants outside Italy!!

Top class welcome, service throughout our meal, atmosphere and the food itself. Every care and thoughtful attention for my wheelchair bound Uncle.

Good location, pizza nice, salmon tasty but seems a bit overpriced for what it was. Great stuff creating nice atmosphere. Overall would recommend.

1st time trying here, and gotta say the atmosphere was great and the staff were really friendly . Even though they were clearly packed out they still took time to have a few words and make you feel special. Our food was good but a couple of things let it down. We started with garlic bread but it was lacking on the garlic. All our mains were good though the monkfish was quite a small portion for the price, but was tasty. We ordered the homemade tiramisu, now this was really disappointing ,was just a bowl of whipped cream. The profiteroles however were lovely. Overall lovely night with really good atmosphere, a little overpriced but we did enjoy it.

We love dining here when visiting Morpeth. Some dishes are very expensive, but plenty are reasonably priced. The atmosphere is wonderful, Enrico is so very welcoming, and the service is excellent. Booking is advised.
