Primavera in Gateshead

Checked website, which stated the restaurant was open from 12-10pm. Got there at 3:10pm and was told by owners that it did not open until 5pm. Explained that the website showed differently! The owners stated this was only weekends. I think owners need to update the website with the correct openings!!!

Booked for a table for 5, sorry no photos but have to say the food service and atmosphere was amazing. Complimentary garlic bread and amaretto shots to finish. I had a fillet steak, cooked beautifully with perfect presentation. Will be back. ❤️

Highly recommended for good quality food.

Sunday dinners are so good and great value

Fabulous restaurant, the staff, the food, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing. It's our go-to place for delicious Italian food when we go to The Little Theatre, when we have friends & relatives visiting or we just want a lovely lunch or teatime meal, as the special menu is fabulous value too. 10/10 from us every time.

Food was amazing and n9t dear 😋

Went for lunch today food was beautiful and really lovely service highly recommend

Food 10/10 it was amazing i have to admit there’s 2 stunning staff that caught my eye they looked really young 16-17 id say and I was so surprised at their service it was great they’re so well mannered and so beautiful

Perfectly good food. Be aware that you can't split the bill and results in surly repeated "we don't split the bill."

Excellent food and great service

Uncooked mussels and uncooked batter on the onion rings. Was such a let down as the food USED TO BE so good here

Chips were inedible, overcooked, dry and hard as nails. When this was pointed out to the manager his response was "they are not dry" in an unfriendly manner and did not offer any replacement or discount. Very bad customer service!

Great to be back very busy but the service 👌was first class as was the food can't fault it first class staff are great singing happy birthday for anyone who's having a pairty more than 5 stars.Still as good as ever nice to see it full again 😊 😀 😄 ☺ Still has good as ever staff friendly .Are now doing a Sunday lunch. Very good italian restaurant busy as ever. Just Sunday lunch very good not too busy Went for Sunday lunch absolutely fantastic, very busy with it being mothering Sunday service was very good. Still as good as ever

We often go to this restaurant. Very reasonable prices, lunch time specials. Three courses for £10.95. Friendly staff. Great service, lovely food. Gem hidden in low fell

Yet another fabulous meal At Primavera The food is presented well, tastes beautiful I always test the chefs with an off menu test Todays was stuffed mushrooms With Parma Ham cabbage and olive oil Stunning by Chef Cooney Challenge passed with flying colours Just up from the Angel of the North on the A167 If you're in the area, you won't be disappointed The owner Flag Flamur is so attentive And his team look after you Many thanks definitely worth the 56 mile around trip

Went here on a Saturday night for a meal after reading the great reviews on here. I was a little apprehensive walking in as the carpet on the stairs is very worn and dirty. I received a very warm welcome in the restaurant and was seated almost immediately. We had a bottle of Prosecco which was reasonably priced and a black pudding and port belly starter. The starter wasn’t great and didn’t have much taste. It was also very dry like it had been reheated. I ordered the steak Funghi for a main which was supposed to be a red wine sauce. Unfortunately it was more like a gravy. However, the steak was cooked to perfection. My partner had a chicken dish and the sauce on that was very good. We were recommended the ‘Primavera’ cocktail to finish from the waiter. I’m not sure if he’s ever tried it, but it tasted like a flat Diet Coke. I’d advise against trying it unless you enjoy said mentioned drink.

Food and service was really good. We went during happy hour and got 50%off the menu😁. Pretty much everything could be made Gluten Free

Second time there and will continue. Quality, Value, Service all top notch. Staff cheerful polite. Free cake for birthday peeps. Great place

We visit Primavera regularly We travel 50 + miles all round to visit It's definitely one of the best Italians in the North East The food is always excellent the owner Flag and his team are brilliant The chefs Hysen, Nunu, Florin and the Legend Peter are fabulous people We can easily recommend Primavera

First time visiting this restaurant and i only went because it is one of the few places that still do a seafood pizza. I had that and my friend had the pepperoni. Both were really nice and we had the king prawn starter, which was lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive and we will definitely return.

Very good value, friendly service and good food

Best food on the fell for me the owner and his staff are fantastic, foods brilliant and a nice relaxing atmosphere makes the expierence wonderful

Genuinely incredible home cooked food style. Loved the food and the staff are so friendly and hospitable. Hidden gem!

Have been previously albeit a few years ago now. Food quality had gone down dramatically. Seafood pizza was tasteless. Fried squid starter also no flavour and excessively greasy. No soon had we finished our starters than our mains arrived. Desert tiramasu was OK. Other desertion banana split contained only3 slices of banana in each. Waiting staff were overly pushing alcohol including shots at 6pm at a family meal. Then the bill arrived. It didn't look right so asked for a menu to check prices. Bill was £15.90 over the correct price. When I queried the Bill the manager immediately said he'd made a mistake as he'd included the deserts twice in error without even checking the bill fully.The correct prices had also been added up wrong. I recommend checking your bill if you go here. I will not be going back.

A friend and I met there for lunch and took advantage of the £5.95 lunch deal. It actually felt like taking advantage as it's remarkable value. I had minestrone soup, a pepperoni pizza which I think must have been 12" and a coffee. I couldn't fault it, especially for the price. Staff were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately but understandably there's no wheelchair access as the restaurant is on the first floor.

Restaurant cold and very shabby, seats peeling, floor dirty etc. Food not wonderful won’t be retuning far better places locally to eat

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem, excellent food and incredible value for money. Most certainly worth a visit.

Always great service fab food and a great price. The place is always jumping.

amazing atmosphere lovely staff delicious food I love this restaurant...all my friends and family visited it as well ... they share my opinion

Excellent value for money and very friendly atmosphere. Particularly good for an afterwork pizza or early evening family get together

Always well looked after by the staff here. Food for the price point is really good. 👌🏻

Great service and food, always a favourite, thank you!

My first visit here and I was very impreseed. Staff were friendly and attentive, the food was good, portions huge and prices inexpensive.

Great lunch menu. Very reasonably priced. Tasty potato skins and fish meal for less than £ 8.00. Thank you. Again the same food. Served efficiently by quiet young man. Fish was beautifully cooked and served with excellent fresh salad. Thanks. Today had minestrone soup delicious followed by sea bream and chips. Very well cooked and served efficiently Minestrone soup followed by Lasagna and a cup of coffee. Beautiful food served by very pleasant waiter.

My sister and I were visiting the restaurant with family who attend this restaurant very regularly. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Staff were easy to chat to and obviously knew their regular customers. I'm sure that I'll be back when next up in Gateshead.

I never had a favourite restaurant... until I came to Primavera ❤️. Lush Italian food, loveliest staff, wonderful atmosphere (I definitely recommend going on your birthday for a Primavera celebration) and great value. 2 cocktails for £11 and a whole AMAZING pizza for £7-9, how can u say no to that?! Do check out their Lunch Course menu / Dinner Course, always worth it. I definitely recommend Primavera! 🤤

Wow just wow bought a pizza to takeaway put it this way won't be going anywhere else from now on was unreal

Very poor. If you like good food AVOID if you like cheap and almost cheerful this is for you. Uncomfortable - Chairs falling apart decor dated. Please update furnishings and decor. Service - Friendly Servers. Manager very energetic. Made peoples birthdays special. We were asked 4 times during starter if everything was OK and 5 times during Main. Too much. 1 server per table please. Felt very rushed from start to finish. Parking terrible. Insult to Italy: Muscles - Terrible. Sauce was bland with thick onion. Cheaply made and tasted it. No way these are fresh muscles as described. Carbonara - Simply cream, ham & pasta. Awful no care nothing like a carbonara. Bolognese Pizza - tasted like tinned Bolognese poured on a poor Margarita. No substance no flavour. This place in incredibly cheap probably why it has some OK reviews but it is priced like this for a reason.

Out with my daughters for a birthday meal, the chair leg was broken and daughter fell to the floor, fortunately she'd just put the baby in the high chair, staff did ask how she was, thou felt as though they just dismissed the situation... Felt hurried to order food, and no sooner was the course finished, plates where taken away and the next course been brought out

Great value for money 3 courses £5.95 !!! Portion size excellent have visited several times have never been disappointed

Thoroughly enjoyed it the food and service was first class will be back again

First time for me and food was good and good value 👌👌

Lovely meal served by attentive and courteous staff

Lower your standards before you enter. Horrible wine, pizza and "Special Pasta". It is reasonably priced though, but I'd rather pay more to get some real Italian food.

Seats tatty, no atmosphere. Got order wrong, the food represented was the incorrect food washed re flavoured and re headed

We went here on a recent visit to Newcastle to see family. The restaurant might not look much from the outside but it's really a hidden gem. The atmosphere was really good and the service excellent with my wife's gluten free requirements being taken care of really well. Three of our party had pizza, while I had one of the best carbonaras I've ever had. We even had the waiter check the bill afterwards as we genuinely believed they'd missed something off! But no, it was correct, which made for superb value. Definitely worth a visit!

Have been going here for years the food is always good and great value for money

Great food at really good prices. Staff are fantastic.

Many thanks to Flag Flamur Fabulous food, great friendly attentive staff and brilliant food A big shout out to Peter the Chef I try always to order something off menu It's never a problem here Tonight's request was fish cakes Not only did I get superb fish cakes I also was given mushy peas Excellent You can always expect great food At an affordable price We simply love dinning here Nice 60 mile all round trip See you all soon

This is good fresh food. We would love to stay longer to try the rest of the menu which we have seen being served. They have a three course menu for a good price compared to others. The owner is interested in you and wants to give you a good evening. This is where the locals go to. Amazing how many people were there. You don't expect it from the outside.

Brilliant Italian restaurant in the heart of Low Fell, friendly and attentive staff and good selection of delicious pizzas and pasta and also soup and specials. It's our favourite place to go whether it be for an evening meal for an occasion or for a lunch out. Highly recommended

Lovely food, 3 course for £9.95 couldn't fault it. Staff friendly & attentive. Overall can't fault the food.

Fantastic night once again. Really lovely place/staff/food..remember to leave room for the chocolate fudge cake at the end.looking forward to next visit 👍👍👍

We visited here today with our granddaughter as she like pizza. On your website it's states open times between 12pm-10pm. On arrival rude staff outside. "We don't open till 5pm. " No apologies. My granddaughter was upset and started crying. We definitely will not be back

Food was good staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, would recommend.

Visited last night. Staff attentive and friendly. Choices of food, good. Catered for gluten free diet. Value for money. However 3 out of 4 foods were a bit overdone, burnt black some bits. Also the entrance needs a good clean and smelt very damp, needs redecorating. Toilets could be overhauled too.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices, friendly staff.

Came today with three friends. Greeted by friendly staff. Food was so good & ingredients were fresh. Couldn't of asked for more. Thanks for a great meal out & thank you to the staff that made this happen, a meal that will be remembered:) (Will be coming back again!)

An outstanding value for money, friendly business. Throughout the pandemic they kept going with delivery and an upbeat vibe. We at 73 could not recommend highly enough.

Best restaurant on Low Fell 👌🏻 Atmosphere, service and food are first class ⭐

Great prices and great condition area to eat very clean.

Staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. We would definitely go back.

Always a fantastic meal and excellent value for money quick service and always hot food

Great place to grab some terrific food. Great service and very reasonable prices. A firm favourite of ours, you should give it a try

Great food, service, and price. I can't fault this restaurant...only highly recommend it!

This Italian is absolutely beautiful. The staff are so lovely. The lasagne is to die for!!! Great food at great prices. The manager is called Flag (hopefully I spelt his name correctly), he is so nice. We loved the bread that much he gave us a couple of slices to take home. 😁❤️. Totally recommend 5 stars from me. x

This lasagne is simply the best. I have tried loads and this is so tasty. The food is fantastic value for money and the staff are lovely. Lovely friendly manager. Thank you. x

Apart from another couple my son #2 & I were only people there hence no atmosphere ...food was good tho. Cant comment on price as I didn't pay

Cheap and cheerful, decent food with huge portions. Great place to take the kids or for larger groups. Too loud and busy for a romantic meal

Warm, friendly and welcoming staff, service is quick and food is brilliant.

Really nice food with good portions and price was good.

An outstanding restraunt with quality food at a very good price and the staff couldn't be better

Fantastic food and service. We both had soup to start, which was thick and tasty, and then main meals from the specials board which were both faultless.

4 of us visited and weren't disappointed. On request, potato skins were cooked gluten free. Good choice of pizzas and pasta, including gluten free. The Sunday roast was tasty and plentiful. The beef was tender and good selection of veg with a home made Yorkshire pudding. The prawn starters were juicy and tasty. Pizzas were delicious. Great service and all reasonably priced. A lovely lunch.

Cheap early bird, quick service and good food for the price

Great pasta lovely staff didn't wait long 😀

Enjoyed my meal, my wife said her sirloin steak was the best of 2022. And she got enough to take half of it home to finish later.

Always good food, great service and friendly atmosphere

11 of my family and 2 1 year olds just had xmas dinner the food was excellent the service very good were very accommodating when we changed our pre ordered desert would definitely recommend 👌

Food very good! I had the 2 course special for £10.95 of potato skins with garlic dip and Chicken Diane with chips. Chicken was cooked to perfection and Diane sauce very tasty with big,chunky lovely home made chops.yum! Only criticism and very slight one. . waiting staff were a little too attentive with us being asked too many times if all was OK and my friend felt rushed with them keep wanting to clear plates away.otherwise a lovely dining experience and will definitely go back!

Haven't been here due to not been open. First day opening. Took my Aunty for Sunday lunch. Had a 3 course for £8.95. Can say starter soup. Potato and leek or minestrone. Delicious. Then a roast day. Coffee or ice cream for afters. Great service and brillant value for money in these times. Highly recommend. Food was fantastic. We'll be back. Already booked again for through the week!

The food was alright , nothing special and we found hair in two of our dishes. The pizzas and garlic bread were very oily . Service was ok. Not in a rush to go back .

Well meant to be a nice night out however. Staff everywhere, we were being rushed, constantly being asked ... and having individual stuff taken away instead of leaving us too it when one of us hadnt finished. We went out for a nice night not to be hasselled and see staff being bossed around. Staff need to be in areas not everywhere. Food ok

Arrived to be greeted by a scruffy looking staircase. My wife needed the toilet when she returned she had to tell them that 1 toilet was blocked the other one badly stained and the waste bin overflowing with hand towels. Meal its self was very tasty. When we left the toilets were still in same condition. This restaurant needs to be refurbed urgently it is very tired looking. We Will not be returning.

Good food , friendly staff and nice price

Food was great, good wine and good value for money, will return.

Enjoyed every minutes food great

Great food, great service, great price.

Bread rock hard veg stone cold potato skins tough meal awful desserts disgusting obviously out of date tasted vile

Nothing wrong with the food, but our evening was spoilt because the manager stood behind me for the whole lenght of our meal in a load voice (aprox 15/20 minutes )talking to another diner about Albania and the tourist industry there, he also talked about the break in at the restaurant and other stuff, my partner and i were unable to have our own conversation because his intruded on ours, I approached him before leaving and he said it was part of customer service to talk to diners, I agree, but he must be aware of other diners and their customer service.

Brilliant for a girlie catch up with friends after covid-19 stuff. Staff great, pizzas fantastic.

First time we visited this restaurant and what great food we had. Great taste, great service & great value, will return as soon as possible

Amazing food, decent prices and offers, staff friendly and attentive. Old fashioned touches makes a place authentic and real

Another great night,food great atmosphere lively even at 5.45.staff very attentive

Excellent customer service. Ideal for birthdays

Food and service could not fault good value for money very pleasant atmosphere 👍

Food was lovely, very friendly staff. Will definitely return.

All of my party enjoyed the meal they chose so a massive compliment to the Chef. Thank you to the management & staff for making, In my opinion, Primavera the best restaurant on the Fell.

Had a fantastic birthday meal, nice staff Great food and reasonable priced. ohh the menu is extensive, something for everyone young or old. 10/10+ well done.very busy.
