Piazza Latina in Gateshead

Authentic Italian pizza. Visited here on Sunday as a couple, and we were both very impressed with the price and quality of the food. Extensive menu with something for everyone, with everything freshly home cooked. Sadly it was very quiet, sign of the times. I do hope the delivery side of things is busy as the owner is lovely and obviously a very talented and experienced chef. Having grown up locally this was the place to be when formally La Piazza and the quirky authentic decor brought back fond memories. We will be returning and have already pencilled another date night in the calender to revisit. Really, really good tasty home cooked food. The prices are a give away.

It was great, we’ve been there twice in the last month. I came here years ago, nothing has changed, same good food, relaxed atmosphere. No frills Italian, the first on Low Fell, old charm, lovely staff. We will return.

We received terrible customer service after years of ordering. No delivery available on a Saturday. Won’t be going back.

lovely fresh pizza's. Will definitely order again.

very warn and friendly atmosphere, first time collecting as we normally get delivered. A blessing however as I was unaware that this was an actual authentic Italian restaurant. we will definitely be booking a table. Food is very high quality and atmosphere/ staff/chef very welcoming.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Beautiful restaurant and such lovely staff!!! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant! ☺️♥️

Traditional Italians, lovely staff and service, great food, and a chef who came over at the end of the meal to make sure we were happy, fantastic, thank you and we will return 5⭐️

Chips cold and soggy. Pizza wasn't even cut. 6 pieces of pineapple on the pizza.

If your a hungry hungry hombre looking for a fat slice, boy have you found the right place

Amazing all around. Pizza, Pasta, Chips and Garlic are the best you can ask for and it always comes hot as can be

The food and flavors are next level here, always fantastic quality. The sauces are always rich to the core in flavor, I've never been disappointed and I also love the traditional style in the building, not only is the food cooked with great skill, but you get the nostalgic feel from the restaurant it's self Piazza Latina is an all round winner for me.

Had a great time at our favourite Low Fell pizza place. Food was delicious and very friendly service. Child friendly too. And extremely good value.

Delicious food with fresh ingredients as and great prices. Piazza Latina used to be my 'go to' restaurant when I lived locally. I was pleased to find that the food is better than ever and the proprietor just as charming. The pizzas that we had were excellent and authentic. All the food was excellent but the vegetarian Nachos starter was particularly good. And unbelievably good value.

Fabulous, gem of a place in the heart of low fell , had take out but the restaurant is worth a visit too

We went last night ( Saturday night). Place empty no staff to greet us ?? This was 6.45 so walked back out.😡

We had a lovely inexpensive meal here, well cooked and very tasty. Service was very good, atmosphere was nice just a bit quiet. Very good for vegetarians

We visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday night. We were made very welcome from the first minute! The food was absolutely delicious and excellent for vegetarians! The prices were so very cheap, especially for the quality of the food and nothing was too much trouble. We weren't rushed out even though it was quite late when we left and we will definitely be returning!

Pizzas we're cold. Not usually like this from here. Never had an issue before and they've always been lovely. Slightly disappointed this time.

It was amazing we had garlic mussels in a creamy sauce to start and then I got a blue cheese pizza with bacon and chilli oil and got to talking to the chef about an extra hot chilli oil so I’m going back tonight to give it a try.

Found this place by accident, but does not disappoint! Service was amazing, from start to finish. Chef even delivered our food. Starter of mussels were to die for. Pizza and pasta even better! You can tell it is proper italian cuisine and not like other businesses trying to pass itself as that. Had a lovely chat with the chef after and we have returned again since!

Traditional old school Italian restaurant with Mexican and Mediterranean as well as a full compliment of fabulous Italian dishes. Hospitable owner and chef who makes himself available to chat to his diners.

Food was really nice but would have been better if the pizza had been sliced and also would have liked the option to order a larger size pizza.

Absolutely amazing time, honestly the only downside was that not enough people were there. You need to eat here, it's incredible

Couldn’t recommend this restaurant anymore. Lovely food-thank you

Fabulous food so delicious thankyou

This a gem in Low Fell! The food was amazing, fantastic value for money and we were so well looked after by the staff there.

Excellent pizza at a really reasonable price, with very friendly service. I can’t believe there weren’t more people enjoying this fine restaurant.

Pasta and meatballs was very good, fresh and hot.

Good was lovely will go back again give free potato skins and garlic and chillie

Disappointed I received the wrong dessert, ordered a banana split and got meringue and ice cream, didn’t call to complain as not worth sending a driver back out for a dessert, garlic bread was lovely and nachos with chilli was nice

Carbonara was soaked in a oil that tasted like chip pan oil and bacon undercooked and no cheese. Nasty !!

As usual the quality of the pizzas were excellent and authentic. This place cannot be beaten on the taste, in a league of their own. Would highly recommend x

I had the marirose pasta dish and it was piping hot and really tasty, ideal portion size. Pepperoni pizza as part of a meal deal was nice, good size and we found it being uncut quite funny giving all the comments about them. It's like their signature 😅.

pizza wasn't cut and the edges were hard, chicken risotto with overcooked rice and napoli souce, nothing to do with Italy, will never order again 😑 only one plus the delivery lady was so nice and cute

food was amazing 10/10. went for collection ans the food was piping hot when i picked it up.

Do not recommend. I ordered the pate as a starter and the bread was as hard as sticks - couldn't cut through it with a knife let alone teeth. The salad was the best part! Also ordered garlic, yet weirdly my pizza came with a tub of JAM - the stuff you put on bread not pizza. My pizza was okay, but my friends spag bol was also not very good with watery spaghetti. His starter of garlic bread seemed more like a nanbread too! Perhaps the weirdest, most bizarre and most terrible order ive had in a long time. Do not go unless you want jam on your pizza, and watery spag bol. Would have given it 1 stars although my pizza wasn't too bad.

Lovely. Enjoyed everything about the place

Food was superb and will definitely be eating with these again.

pizza, potato skins, and carbonara for takeout. Each dish was packed with flavor and arrived piping hot. Quick and easy pickup process. Highly recommend for a delicious Italian takeout experience. Five stars! Grazie! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fab pizzas as always, can't beat a proper Italian homemade base

Food was slightly warm so was pretty disappointed and pizza wasent cut

Absolutely delicious, pipping hot and lots of topping best pizza by far. Pasta was lovely too very tasty. Definitely recommend

The mushrooms tasted like they were cooked with fish and too much garlic, with no cream. The pork was too fatty and the sauce tasted bitter with little to no seasoning, the bolognese was very watery and bland. The only thing we finished was the chips.

And it was not what I expected meatballs pasta was OK didn't think much of the rest . Yes I've been a chef for over 40 years and have made better

i dont mind a few minuites late if food was good this place is a little gem the best pepper sauce I have had in years will defenatly be ordering again

Lovely meal. Pasta and pizza was absolutely delicious.

Order was delivered on time if not earlier than expected & food was amazing as always! My fav Italians I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Perfect once again . Thank you

First time ordering here was absolutely beautiful! Will be returning again soon

Excellent alwaysblove the food from here. Will definitely be ordering again.

lovely food will definitely go again

Top top food. Pasta and pizza deal well worth it. All fresh and red hot in delivery. Thank you.

Lovely pizza, nice thin base good quality topping! Nice potato skins with Garlic dip! Delicious tomato garlic bread. Would recommend.

Beautiful food and great service

Pizza’s were really good, Fajitas are a must try option.

We love this restaurant - the old ones are the best! Apparently one of the first Italian restaurants in the North East (on a par with Francesca’s and Santana’s in Jesmond for long standing excellent Italian reputation). This traditional Italian restaurant offers more than pizza and pasta - there is something for everyone including delicious mussels, Mexican food, the menu is extensive, so I can’t remember all of the rest. It is friendly and reasonably priced compared to other Italian restaurants. The pizzas were excellent, as was all the food. Don’t forget about it just because it is tucked away upstairs.

Great food as always best pizzas chilli was fab

Yummy veg moussaka n garlic bread and cheese. Everyone happy with their order. Came quick. Defo recommend 👍x

Food was amazing it got here quick. I will be ordering again.

Lovely pizzas, homemade chips and cheesy garlic bread. We’ve had deliveries from here a few times now and it never disappoints. Definitely one of our favourite take aways

Just no. No no no no no no no!! I ordered food from here via Just Eat. Halloumi and bell pepper burrito and homemade chilli cheese chips. Yum I thought - retch I got!! The supposed burrito was some deep fried cheap halloumi fries, with some deep fried frozen veg in a greasy slimy wrap - where was the rice? The beans? The fresh herbs and veg? Where was the flavour!?!?? Oh and the chips - not quite sure how you handmake congealed cheese onto frozen chips and think a sparse shake of chilli powder will make it all better!!! I’m not one for waste but this lot went in the bin and I made myself a sandwich with the disgust and despair I had for this sorry sad excuse for a meal. Try this place if you want but I won’t be again

Here before the estimated time they must have not been to busy, food was nice and hot and tasted amazing. Will be ordering from here again.

Some of the food had no flavour and the delivery time was ridiculous and food was good when it arrived

Lovely food nice and hot would use again and again !thank you !

Went for a meal last night, the food was very tasty & value for money. We will return.

Items looked like they had been drop kicked around. Tried to stop the delivery driver from leaving but he just looked at me blankly and left. Had to scrape the pizza off the bottom of the box and the Bolognese had exploded and was all over everything else.

fresh produce,very tasty,enjoyed it.

Delivery late. Food cold or substandard. Considering price portion small. Veggie moussaka shouldnt be called that as was just a veggie pasta . Never again

The food was amazing, both pizzas were nice and hot the potato skins were perfect they were not soggy and the fudge cake was delicious. I will he ordering again

A hidden gem in Low Fell. Lovely food and atmosphere, very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic restaurant with very authentic Italian food. We visited with a group of friends and had a wonderful evening. Great value for money. Some in our party are from London and couldn’t believe how affordable the food was for such good quality. The restaurant decoration makes you feel like you are on holiday. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate with friends in a relaxed and attentive setting.

Lovely hot food very fast delivery

Really nice food will be ordering again

I rang the resaurant at 20:55 and they stated that the food wasn't going to be picked up for a further 15 mins

Pasta was delicious, seasoned well very tasty and piping hot.

Great food great price great value

Margarita pizza was almost perfect with a crispy crust and creamy mozzarella would definitely order it again , carbonara was perfectly creamy overall amazing food.

Shocking portions for price Came very late Missing creme fresh

Pizza was beautiful, pepperoni was very salty though so glad there wasn't too many on there. Chips were good too no complaints. Don't order the yum yum if you were expecting more than a greggs yum yum, because that's exactly what it was. Overpayed for a Gregg's dessert, not good.

Never eaten such a cheesy pizza. Cheese was dropping out. This is my 3rd time I have ordered from this restaurant. Mint food. Must try out the pizza here as its authentic Italian pizza. Defo will order again.

Amazing food absolutely love this place

Pizzas were amazing proper fresh base and tasty toppings real Italian pizzas 🍕 😋

Seldom leave reviews yet very good 👍

the worst takeaway i've ever had and i order a lot off just eat. the pizza could of put someone's window out let alone my teeth. never known an italians to not do Tagliatelle so got bland spaghetti with no seasoning with what to just be lasheted in milk instead of a Carbonara won't ever order again so disappointed and £21 out of pocket . the worst

Visited with friends on a Tuesday night, very attentive owner and great thin crust pizzas. Used to be a regular when living locally 25 years ago and little has changed in this excellent traditional Italian restaurant. We will be back

Great restaurant and attentive owner. Last visited this restaurant about 25 years ago when I lived local to it and it was a true blast from the past. A true traditional Italian with excellent thin crust pizzas. My friends and I will visit again.

Great little restaurant goes at a typical Mediterranean pace of service but food was worth the wait … needs some music to brighten the atmosphere but definitely would recommend.

I disappointed with pizza base soggy could have been cooked crispier and would have been amazing

Went in to have food the guy bent over backwards to accommodate us, food was fast and very tasty and competitively priced.

Food was beautiful. Also have to say about the staff who are also wonderful. Took the time to talk to me and make it a very pleasant experience. Will definitely be back soon.

Calamari starter & Pizza was very nice and the chips, however the mussels in white wine and garlic cream there was far too much cream in the sauce, couldn’t taste anything else- just a tiny bit needed.

Really impressed .. Restaurant quality in a take out . Great value for money . I would highly recommend them .

Absolutely worse place to ever order from. Waited well over an hour for the food. It didn't arrive and the man I spoke too was a disgusting and arrogant. The staff are a bunch of liars too. Update: Just received a scathing reply from the restaurant. It's clear to me that's it's no wonder that there is a lot of negative views. Their attitude and behaviour is horrific

Enjoyed an excellent good value meal on a very quiet Saturday night. Staff were extremely attentive.

Great food the pizza was just amazing, first time trying the potato skins and they were lovely, garlic pizza was nice it had the perfect amount of garlic on it for it to taste great and the garlic dip is just amazing I've never had anything like it Greats place I will definitely be ordering again

Worst food in Gateshead, the place needs Gordon Ramsay, kitchen nightmares to intervene As much as we were told everything was “FRESH” nothing was fresh Straight from the freezer to pan isn’t fresh hunni

Requested no olives as allergic still put them in, potato skins had soggy lettuce underneath and ruined the potato skins. Coke was warm. Called to complain to be told that's how we do the skins nobody else complains so must be you. No help from just eat as usual, joke

A low fell institution. Wonderful authentic Italian food and the best staff. Highly recommend, will go again.

Great authentic food best pizzas around

Gorgeous pizza and amazing onion rings. It would have been nice to have more than five onion rings for the money. Delicious food though xx
