Pranzo Trattoria & Deli in North Tyneside

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

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!

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

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.

Phenomenal. Food, wine and vibe. Just perfect.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Best the real carbonara & devil!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Excellent restaurant! Fabulous food and great service. Best Whitley bay has to offer!

This is such a gem of a place every time we go it is such an amazing experience. Best food ever and brilliant front of house

THE best ragu pasta and it was vegetarian! Can't wait to go back

Excellent food and service. Shame they didn’t have any cheesecake left 😕

Fantastic authentic food with perfect service!

Always such a lovely experience :)

First time visit today after a recommendation from a friend and certainly exceeded expectations. The food was amazing, from the starter to the authentic Italian pizza. 10/10 to the chef, great vibe in the restaurant and the service was just great, the team were efficient and attentive. Thanks so much, we will defo be back, I could see how hard you were working and focused totally upon the customer experience👍

Lovely pizzas, brilliant attentive service and delicious cocktails.

Lovely food, huge portions and fantastic service. Will be back again soon!!

Pranzo is mine and my husband’s favourite place to go for food! Celebrations or just because we want amazing food and great wine, it’s always our first choice! The food is soo good, with a great choice (even if we have our solid favourites) as is the wine which we definitely take advantage of. The addition of the regional menu always adds an exceptional alternative, so you can never run out of options. The service is always friendly but professional and there is always someone happy to help you make a decision/recommend some wine! The atmosphere again is always friendly and whether it’s a little quieter or really busy you feel at home yet very well looked after. Always recommended to our friends and family! Please visit, you will not be disappointed.

Best Italian trattoria in the North East ! Pablo is so welcoming and his food is very tasty.

Pablo and the team have created the perfect, family friendly, Italian trattoria in Whitley Bay. The food, from the standard pizza menu to the weekly destion themed specials, is always delicious and high quality. Service is warm, quick and welcoming. The new addition of Italian style Sunday roast is the icing on the cake - go go go!

Brilliant food and service in such a nice venue. Doing a lot to support the community, too. Highly recommended!!!

Lovely service, lovely food. Couldn't fault it - a really nice anniversary meal.

WOW....a must! If you want the real deal, authentic Italian then this the place to go. Our first time today, could not fault the exquisite food, the most friendly staff,who know what they are talking about, (listen to their recommendations) and an owner Pablo who is the best of Italy personified in whitley Bay! I can not recommend this restaurant enough and we shall certainly be returning. Thankyou for such an enjoyable experience.

Fantastic staff and Service. Absolutely no complaints. Must visit in Whitley Bay! 👌🏻

Bit of a mixed one. We had a booking for two on a Friday night. Lovely buzz about the place, service was amazing, all staff very friendly. Probably about 20 minutes after ordering, we were informed that because of some technical issue, our check hadn’t gone to the kitchen so there would be a delay with our food, they assured they would make an effort to get it out quick because of this. We waited for a while longer and shared starter came, we enjoyed it and then began our wait for the mains. For a simple pasta and pizza it took absolutely ages, around 45 minutes. Quite annoying as another two covers next to us who arrived later had three courses and left before we even had our mains. There was no offer of a complimentary dessert or drinks despite us having to wait so long on account of a restaurant error. Frankly the pizza was great but the pasta was just okay, fairly bland. Certainly not worth the price which is on the high side. Sadly we left feeling a bit deflated given all the great things we’d heard about this place. All in all, an okay experience. Likely won’t be returning though, pity as we’re both lovers of authentic Italian food.

Our third visit and still fantastic. Fabulous food, staff and venue. Very accommodating for kids too when we’ve taken the little one. Can’t wait to return.

Had carbonara in Rome a few times and pranzo made better. Proper guancale and the sauce was perfect. Starters and tiramisu also top tier. Service great too

Phenomenal Italian, wholeheartedly recommend

Absolutely amazing Great atmosphere Superb food and wine Panna cotta is heavenly

Been to this incredible restaurant perhaps 4 times now. Every time we love it. Staff and owners are amazing and especially fantastic with our 3 year old who now gets excited at the prospect. Fantastic to find somewhere who care so much about what they do. Already looking forward to the next time.

Best authentic Italian food in the North East!

Was amazing to taste real Italian food made from scratch. None of your common Italian franchise food, this is real authentic food Fantastic
