Pranzo Trattoria & Deli in North Tyneside

Really lovely meal. Friendly staff and excellent food. Couldn't hope for better.

Really good food and excellent service. An interesting range of choices on the menu. Food was well presented and really tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant for its family friendly, lively vibe, good food and excellent service.

Went with a friend for a late lunch. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff when we walked in who was very pleasant and chatty. The place looks lovely, decorated nicely with a cosy rustic atmosphere. Everything seemed clean and tidy too. The food came in good time, was served red hot, and was very tasty. Pricing isn't bad either. I'd definitely return here for some nice food and excellent service.

The BEST! Best food, best owners, best wine, best atmosphere. This place literally never disappoints.

Fabulous family run business. Can't praise them enough. Wonderful food, friendly professional staff. Firm favourite.

Excellent spot for Sunday lunch. Pizza, pasta, and beef and pork dishes were all very tasty. Foccscia bread to start with was also perfect finished off with a nice light pudding. Service was excellent and attentive.

Fantastic food … best Italians in the north east … the service and staff are lovely and friendly … great night … highly recommended

Best (authentic) carbonara outside of the Suburra!

Great meal. The authentic Italian experience.

Had a meal today with my special friends and we just loved the whole experience! Great food, wine and atmosphere, the staff were brilliant, looking forward to coming back again! Loved it ❤️💋❤️

Excellent food Brilliant staff would recommend this to anyone for authentic Italian cuisine, would recommend for a fantastic night

Authentic Italian pizza and pasta. Best Italian restaurant in Whitley Bay

Great atmosphere service and food Staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us . First visit but will definitely be back again

We have been here a few times and when in Whitley Bay it is the best pizza served. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this place 👌🏼

We had a fab lunch (pizza and wine) today. Nicola was a great host and Daisy was so chatty too - then we met Puablo who was in their deli across the road (bought some lovely goodies). They specialise in being authentic Italian.

Such kind friendly staff, great food and a lovely atmosphere. #NAILEDIT

Excellent pizzas.Good friendly service

Fabulous food, friendly service as ever!

Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere, loved every minute. Great place, would highly recommend.

Literally th4 best pizza's I've had ! Delicious, staff amazing and great restaurant atmosphere ... worth many more visits

Delicious Italian food and brilliant service!

A taste of little Italy in Whitley Bay. This place is just amazing. Easily one of the best Italians I have ever visited. At first glance you might not recognise some of the items in the menu. Go with it, the staff are super knowledgeable about their food, and will keep you right. Don't worry, they do the most amazing pizzas if that is what you are looking for, proper thin crust stone baked. I had the - malloreddus di spigola. (Small pasta shells with shredded sea bass, anchovies, olives, and cherry tomatoes). Truly delicious! The carbonara is something like you have never had before! Unless of course you have been to a small village in the south of Italy. Ask the staff about the meat in it, pigs cheek, I couldn't do it justice trying to describe how they cook it. Pick any pizza topping you like, and you will enjoy it. It is a small restaurant so book, it is bustling with atmosphere and that and the decor - you could be sitting in the Mediterranean! The ingredients are sourced from Italy and you can tell! Even the drinks are what you would get over there. I can't recommend this place highly enough. A wonderful experience

I highly recommend this restaurant in Whitley Bay, just a minute or two walk from the Metro station. The food is excellent especially the tomato, garlic bread and the service is friendly and efficient. I think other Italian restaurants in the NE can learn a lot and be inspired by this restaurant.

Have just had an incredible pizza, delicious wine and a lovely couple of hours with my best friend. Going through a tough time and it was so good to spend time in a place where the staff are so kind and are so intent on you enjoying yourselves. Perfect

Excellent pizza. Wonderful wine. Brilliant service!

Lovely local Italian that has very friendly service, casual atmosphere, and really tasty food.

Friendly staff, great food, loved it all. Great place to celebrate on any occasion.

Lovely homemade Italian food the pizza and pastas are both superb. The desserts are lovely too. But my absolutely favourite is the pork Sunday dinner it was outstanding. Thank you for a lovely meal we will be back 😄

Great food, great drink, great service, great atmosphere!

Fantastic food, definitely recommend the carbonara. Relax atmosphere

Perfect food and brilliant wine selection.

Authentic food, with quality ingredients at good price.

Very overdue review. Pranzo is an Italian neighborhood style restaurant just a few minutes walk from Whitley bay metro station. It was a busy Friday evening, but the lovely staff managed to accommodate us at a window table overlooking the outdoor area. It was so nice, I would specifically book it again! We had polenta and burrata to start, followed by sage and walnut risotto and a pizza from the specials menu. Great selection of Italian wines, the friuli was delicious. We finished our wine in the garden - with nice warm blankets to keep out the chill. A deli has opened just over the road which I'll be trying very soon. Would absolutely recommend as one of the nicest places to eat on the North Tyneside coast.

Amazing service and beautiful food every time. Love love love!

Great restaurant, came across it by chance but will go back again.

We went for a family birthday meal and everyone throughly enjoyed. A lovely friendly atmosphere and the food was delicious.

Absolutely fabulous food and staff. Would definitely come back again. In the heart of Whitley bay. Molly was great as were the rest of the staff

Always judge an Italian on their carbonara. If they can't do that right there's no point in going back. This is one of the best I've had. Rich and creamy with perfectly cooked crispy guanciale. All achieved, most importantly, without cream. How it should be. I look forward to coming back and trying more.

We love Pranzo! It’s a real treat. Ever since we first went about 12 months ago the food has been consistently delicious, the team are lovely, and the atmosphere is great. It’s a real gem in Whitley Bay

Phenomenal. Food, wine and vibe. Just perfect.

Amazing food and great service from this lovely family business. Always a great experience and one of our regulars. A must visit in wh'italy' bay

Delicious as always! Two calzones of the highest quality, plus a prosciutto/funghi to die for. Never been disappointed by Pranzo - such a gem.

We absolutely LOVE it here! Amazing pizza, even better pasta! The staff are incredible and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in Italy! Come as often as you can!

Basically a pizza restaurant. No hot starters, poor & very limited pasta choice. The reviews raved about the carbonara, but it's not available on the evening menu, only at lunchtime. They did, however, apologise for the (very long) wait & deducted money from the bill, so grateful for that.

I just had an amazing sandwich from the deli - I'm really impressed, reminds me of my recent trip to Bologna and Florence and the sandwiches I would eat there. I will definitely be back

Delicious food and fantastic service- thank you so much for a fabulous lunch

The best Italian food in Whitley Bay by far- so authentic and tasty I actually forgot my jacket and the Waiter ran like half a mile to ensure its safe return…. Really nice vibe

Both of us had different meals and both were exceptional. Shared a Tiramasu for pudding ... best yet! A must visit for anyone who likes authentic Italian food

Love the lunch time Italian style sandwiches I get from this place! Such a good addition to Whitley bay

An all round excellent experience for our family meal of 10 on an important family occasion. The food is authentically Italian (confirmed by my Italian sister in law) and the waiters are both entertaining and efficient.

Staff are very friendly and approachable, we had the Torino sandwich (vegetarian option). It was lovely and very filling and reasonable for the price. Definitely coming back in the future x

We love this place so much. The food and wine are amazing, but mostly, we love the people who run and work there. Beautiful service every single time 🧡

Without a doubt the best calzone ever. First visit and won't be the last, stunning food.

Best the real carbonara & devil!

If you like authentic Italian in a friendly restaurant, this restaurant is for you. The best carbonara (no cream #iykyk) fabulous wines and pizza. So pleased to have this on our doorstep.

Delicious, authentic Italian food. So lucky to have it in our neighbourhood

Great little diamond of a restaurant , amazing service outstanding food and a chilled atmosphere. The weather was good so had the fortune to eat outside .

Lovely meal and great service. The food is amazing and the wines are always delicious. Our favourite place. They know we will be back. Genuine Italian food.

Great pizzas, friendly service, entertaining owner 🙂

We visited Pranzo last night with friends and had an amazing night. The food and wine was excellent using local Italian ingredients. The staff looked after us with help and suggestions for our choices for food and local Italian wine. Can't wait for their new delicatessen to open.

An absolute gem in Whitley Bay, amazing authentic food. Been a few times now and the food has always been great, their Sunday dinners are ridiculously good too!

Authentically Italian. The staff are amazing, always so friendly and welcoming and the food speaks for itself. Fresh, vibrant and filling!

Great food. Highly recommended. They have a regional aspect to the menu, which changes weekly. Had a fantastic pasta dish from the Lazio region. Prices are good and the cocktails looked great 👍

We were here for the Sunday lunch menu - food and wine was gorgeous, and the staff were helpful and very friendly! Will definitely be back!

Attended with friends … Brilliant food and service. First time and we will be back 👏👏👏👏 warm and cosy too. Deserts amazing

Attended a fabulous wine tasting event at Pranzo last night - thoroughly enjoyed it! There was a great selection of white and red wines, and the food was delicious too. Staff were all super friendly, and the quality of service was excellent. I will definitely be back!

Our favourite place to eat and drink, delicious wine and food, all traditional and high quality, frequent menu changes so able to try lots of different dishes/wines, very friendly

Nice dining experience food authentic and well presented

Went for date night and we both had lovely pizzas. Diavolo for hubby and proscuitto funghi for me. Great food, great service, great music. Perfecto!

Amazing food and fabulous service and atmosphere

Very good, Italian, food at a decent price. Staff are always very friendly.

Friendly service and amazing food! A must-try in Whitley Bay.

Arrived just as they were closing but they managed to squeeze us in (the service was exceptional as was the food) One of the best Italian restaurant I've been in - and that includes Italy.Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

An excellent meal in a very family-friendly environment. We had an amazing smoked cheese starter with pizza and pasta as the main feature. Everything was fantastic and very delicious. All of the staff were very polite, professional, and friendly with a special mention to louise who was great and entertained our girl whilst doing a great job.

Pork Sunday dinner was amazing 👏

Can't recommend this place enough! Lovely service, nice vibe and really excellent food! Will be back!

Amazing food, drink choice and atmosphere. Staff amazing too. Highly recommend

Top notch authentic Italian food.

Very good, can't think of a better place to go to, unless you like Bologna, as l do, for Italian food. Pizza is always lovely. Carbonara is very good, no cream and has Guanciale as well. Roll on the next visit.

A delicious meal, with great service!

My favourite Italians. Can’t beat their carbonara! Staff lovely too. Came with my family for my birthday meal on Saturday.

Visited last Saturday as a table of 8 with family. Lovely little restaurant, fab friendly staff & beautiful food & wine

What a lovely place to eat. Friendly atmosphere with professional service and fabulous food.

Food and service were outstanding. Burrata was smoked to perfection, served with sun-dried tomatoes and a wonderful salty prosciutto that complimented the cheese. I had the osso bucco, which was delicious and melted in the mouth and was served with a unctuous cheesy polenta. I was too full for pud, but greedy enough to take home a pistachio canollo for breakfast. The wine list was very good. We had a sparkling rose.

Amazing authentic Italian food.

Food was excellent - a good selection and good quality at reasonable prices. Staff were very friendly and were attentive - not too much, not too little! This is a great restaurant to visit and I would certainly recommend.

Highly recommend, food was fantastic, will definitely be back

Great food and service. Pablo is great with our kids, and we always love going.

Best carbonara ever and great coffee

Great place for a lunch time catch up. Food was outstanding.

This place is a true neighbourhood gem. The service is warm and friendly. They are committed to authentic presentations of fresh, delicious Italian food from all the different regions of Italy. We feel so welcomed here - they accommodate children brilliantly with colouring books and games provided. It feels like a real family restaurant, but with truly delicious and adorable food. We went for Sunday lunch today and I will dream of that porchetta from now on. It was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in ages.

Fantastic authentic Italian food. With a focus on Tuscany but weeks dedicated to other regions too. Highly recommended.

Brilliant place for a family meal with a 3 month old baby and 4 year old. Staff were lovely and really helpful in making everyone welcome, moving furniture to make space so we could all relax and enjoy the food, which was excellent

2nd visit, top class service, beautiful food and wine. Booked for the 3rd visit. An absolute gem, great atmosphere...100% recommend.

This is the best Italian in the North East - authentic food, great service and fantastic staff. It’s an extremely well-run place - highly recommend and will return. Grazie

Fantastic, friendly service, and great food

Absolutely superb wine tasting event tonight (Tues 5th March 2024). Prosecco on arrival, 4 glasses of superb whites and 4 glasses of equally good reds. Four fantastic food courses; divine! Finished off with a glass of limoncello. Great service from friendly staff too. Thanks to all involved; a really enjoyable evening.

Excellent hidden little gem of an Italian in Whitley Bay!

2nd visit to this wonderful Trattoria and even better than the 1st time with a wider menu choice and of course a fabulous choice of wines , amazing family history with memorabilia adorning the walls, looked after by very knowledgeable and helpful staff, and then of course the food , wow , its easy to see why it has been voted no 1 restaurant in whitley bay and it fully deserves the accolade, looking forward to our next visit, ideal for couples and families alike everyone is made very welcome 😁

Been twice. Nice wine and puddings. Wasn’t that overwhelmed with the carbonara, frankly. Even though it was done properly, without cream, which is how it should be. I was a bit underwhelmed with my main both times. The frosty service from the owner didn’t help. The waitresses were nice enough though. We felt hurried out. Probably wouldn’t go back based on the service.
