Sambuca Trinity Square, Gateshead in Gateshead

Excellent food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We will definitely return

Fantastic night had by all. Great food great staff.

Atmosphere, presentation and physical features were good. The food was awful. Ordered a squid for starters it was greasy and tasteless. Didn’t like it. Provided feedback to the waiter and he just smiled and laughed. Ordered my mains which had massive chunks of onions in and looked as if it was rushed. Told the waiter again and he just laughed. Don’t think I will bother coming here again.

We had a lovely meal here on Thursday evening. We both had delicious, fresh, vegetable soup followed by a rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce and a fillet steak. Both came with all the trimmings and huge, freshly made chips. Fabulous meal, served by friendly and attentive staff. Definitely worth a visit and won't break the bank ☺️

We have been going to Sambuca Trinity Square for Sunday lunch for a few years now, it's the best Sunday roast we've had. We decided we wanted to try the Italian menu, wow when we thought the food could not get any better we were blown away by the beautiful food we had the pasta, calzone, and spicy burger, all three meals were beautifully cooked and tasted so good, and the homemade cheesecake desert was honestly the best we have ever tasted, we were brought complementary sambuca shots at the end of the meal which topped a great afternoon experience. We would like to thank all the staff at Sambuca for going above and beyond for making our visit so pleasurable every time we go you are all such an inspiration and such a credit to Sambuca. Can't wait for our next visit

We all ordered the 3 course special. Excellent value for money, good sized restaurant

First visit to this restaurant and liked it. Service is fast. Toilet facilities available. Ordered potato skin fry ,they were very greasy and not crunchy. Parking is free after 6.

Five of us called in for lunch on a Sunday. Whilst it was busy we had booked the day before and were seated within a few minutes. Two of our group had the carvery which they both loved. Others had a carbonara pasta dish, seafood pasta dish (marinara) and pizza Stagioni with a few anchovies added. The pizza was the best I have had in a long time and was perfectly cooked. We also had three starters, two desserts and a selection of beers and soft drinks. The whole bill came to £90 for the five of us and was great value for money. Nice relaxed atmosphere and good service. Will definitely be visiting again.

Food beautifull as always quick service and friendly staff great value for money

The foods are Amazing, the staffs are very nice. joro moro 🥰

Amazing experience. Friendly staff, efficient service and delicious food. Portion sizes are generous and food was served hot and within reasonable timing. Some of the best parmos we've ever had. Will absolutely be returning

I was there last week, I got a salmon steak, it was unbelievably tasty and an attractive price, the service is very nice and fast! Thank you Sambuсa, everything is at the highest level

Best sea food platter ever ate them all over Europe but this is the best

Just back from Turkey 🇹🇷 Nice to come back to a lovely Sunday roast 😋

Always a warm welcome here. Food very good value for money. Portion sizes generous.

A very popular restaurant in the Centre of Gateshead with reasonable prices and a wide choice of dishes plus a carvery at weekends Open 7 days and staff are friendly and good service always Next to Vue Cinema and Tesco Extra store

Went for a meal on friday evening to sambucas gateshead with my daughter as we do so often as normally you cant fault the service food or value for money...sadly on this occasion they let themselves down on arrival we went to the front and asked for a table for 2 the lady who greeted us was lovely and began showing us to a table the waitress stopped her and put us on another table no problem there i dont care where we sit i just want fed!!!! We order drinks and waitress comes and takes food order food we both go for steak fillet a surf and turf and steak jumbalia food arrives all good ....my steak was pretty overcooked again i dont mind as i order it medium but can eat it anyway they cook it...the surf and turf steak was perfect according to my daughter....as she took her last bite the waitress came said all finished and took the plates away she was still chewing!!!! It was as if we werent welcome there!!! I ordered a sambuca sunday when it came it was basically liquid with some cookie in it we then paid the bill roughly £70 i normally give a good tip but on this occasion i decided not too its such a shame as we thought wed found a good value resteraunt local to us sadly we wont be back for a while as the service was absolutely terrible!!!

Sambuca's is the best place in gateshead to eat day or night

From going in untill you leave all the staff are very friendly and ever so helpfull. A great choice of food from the menu or a fantastic sunday carvery. My opinion best in the North East for carvery

Amazing! Sunday lunch is to die for! Naly, best host I have ever known and has become a dear friend, along with the lovely Maria ♥️

Went here for food, it was outstanding and the staff was very friendly and helpful made us feel very welcome. Thank you, Definitely recommend!

Best service great value for money definitely recommend 😍😍

The Sunday lunch is excellent and very cheap. Can get 2 to 3 pieces of meat and as much others as you want. Totally recommend

Amazing staff and service was brilliant. Food and drinks were lovely definitely will be costing again. Absolutely brilliant with children really made my little girl welcome. Thank you all so much.

Absolutely gorgeous food and the staff are very friendly and welcoming highly recommended definitely be back again 😀

Great food! Really enjoyed our anniversary meal.

Very nice from the Sambuca chain, staff are friendly and pleasant, food is tasty and my favourite is the mussels with white wine and garlic and the spaghetti bolognese.

Wow. Must have had the rudest server.!! Unbelievable 😡

Lovely, the lasagne is great! Everyone enjoyed their meals... Great value

Value for money is unreal, presentation of food and drinks are great! Servers are attentive but not pushy, and the food was soooo tasty and came out fast! Only critic was Diana sauce was a little salty so definitely something to be aware off however but still enjoyed it!

Come here every weekend. Cannot fault anything. Service and food is excellent. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Everything on menu is fabulous and staff are so friendly and outstanding.

Lovely Smash burger and better than BK, Smash burgers or Five Guys in my options, see pictures... my only complaint is you cannot get Bacon cheese burger, gladly pay extra £1.50 if needed, my suggestion is add options for extras like additional beef patty too, triple decker it, and hmmm add streaky bacon. My month treat is a burger and fries and I love to pig out when I do. Well done and don't change it, or go crazy with raising prices for burgers like the ones above who I mentioned. And what's better having a pint of Bierra Moretti with my burger too.

Terrible service waited 20 minutes no one came to take our order left. Won’t visit again

Great service, there was limited staff working but they were all exceptional and tended to are every need whilst dealing with a full restaurant and some very rude customers. Most notably, Nicki, Maria, Alex

Been waiting to pay for 45 mins they’ve been round getting money from others but still haven’t came to our table still waiting now

Huge respect for the waiting and kitchen staff at Sambucas. The place was heaving and for me uncomfortably noisy but the service was polite and efficient. The beef and yorkshire puddings superb. I don't know how the chef does the mashed swede but I loved it. I imagine at a quieter time it would 5 star. Many thanks

Think the waiter whi took our order was having a bad day. Rushed everyone wasn't every pleasant at all. However, food was good and generous sized portions.

Absolutely love it here just been for Sunday dinner was beautiful staff are just so lovely and really make the place great

Went last night service was outstanding food was fabulous and prices were very reasonable would highly reccomend

Fantastic Sunday lunch, only thing that I could fault is the roast potatoes were very small. The staff are all lovely, and very attentive. Definitely will be returning 😊

Wonderful food excellent service lovely staff Highly recommend steak special

Good food at a decent price and decent service. Excellent fried squid, fish-cakes, pork belly + black pudding, fillet steak was perfectly cooked. Restaurant was incredibly busy with a lot of kids/teenagers but staff did really well and were swift to turnaround the tables. Whole family enjoyed our meal but please always check your bill so you are not overpaying as they added extra random items to our bill for the 2nd time in a week.

David and Ayoub (Peter) were amazing very big thank you to everyone the food and drinks was amazing their service was a 10/10 would recommend every day for hanks to everyone

No lie David make us feel so welcome so we come all the time

Really good service everyone Is so friendly especially David really good service will always be going to this sambucas best one around

I wouldn't eat here if you have allergies or coeliac disease. We found the staff to be totally uneducated and to be honest rude and disrespectful. Such a shame as I've eaten here before and I would highly recommend Sambucas elsewhere as a whole. When I mentioned I had coeliac disease, I was greeted with, "are you ok with cross contamination", followed by a laugh. To cut a long story short we just decided to leave. If I could give zero stars, I would. Such a shame. We definitely won't be back!

Gorgeous food, well taken care off. Asked for gluten free and they talked everything over. Food was amazing, I was very impressed.

After a great recommendation in a local pub at weekend. We called in, immediately friendly, great food, really reasonable price. Would recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a great night celebrating a birthday..staff where very welcoming and helpful..food was spot on with plenty of choice and offers.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Fresh and tasty. The music is ridiculously loud in here. It's a ploy to keep tables turned over... and it works. This I found very disappointing and will not return.

Good shiz. Never been before, thought might as well give it a go. Super glad we did! Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Sambuca Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious meal and a great dining experience. The food is incredible, thanks to chef Hawkar's mastery of his craft. The burger is particularly noteworthy, but every dish on the menu is sure to please. The service is also impeccable, with host Nali going out of his way to ensure that every diner has a memorable experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend Sambuca Restaurant to anyone looking for a truly special dining experience.

Canny pizza Canny atmosphere Good for celebrations

Called in here for a quick one on our way to VUE cinema, great friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, great choice on menu and great service. Food was delicious we sampled a quick cheesy garlic bread and drink each. Wished restaurant had been open later than 9pm so we could have called in after our cinema visit to sample more from the menu.

You get what you pay for but everything was quite bland and watery. I didn't dare complain though as the staff were openly hostile. The manager in the white shirt was friendly however the waitresses were giving us dirty looks, sighing and outright laughing in my face because I asked if tomato soup was available ? She also told me to add chicken would be £1 but it was £4 on the bill. Again I didn't want to complain due to the hostility of the staff.

Can't fault this place.everything was excellent for a wedding party and staff did a great job letting us in before opening time as we arrived earlier than our booking time.food top quality and drinks reasonably priced Will definitely be back

First time today I have had burger not a burger person But it was certainly the best I have had great value for money lovely pleasant staff 😊

Well, fish cakes with sweet chilli sauce for me, Bruschetta for the other half sorry didn't get a photo it was simply too delicious to Walt. Definitely want more fish cakes again. New item SMASH burgers: We both want for the Sambuca Cheese with chunky chips and extra portion of Peppercorn. Holy molley! Delicious, tender juicy burgers.

Amazing, very good service staff were all polite and the food was delicious also was a good price. Cocktails were spot on🥳

Food great, we had the smash burgers they were lovely. Great service, will be back soon

Food was amazing, service was even better, will definitely be back even get 2 shots on the house 🤪

All-time favourite restaurant to choose when having dinners with friends. £8.95 savoury sets (soup/potato skin + pasta/pizza + coffee/ice cream), 12nn-9pm from Monday to Thursday; 12nn-4pm on Friday and Saturday. Normally we order potato skin as appetiser, that crunchy edge is tasty; also the tagliatelle Marinara and pizza Marinara, big portion as always filling with many seafoods. Definitely worth the money. Oh yeah the Garlic Bread with Cheese is a must-have item! Services are so welcoming and enthusiastic, especially Naly, David and Maria.

Too noisy. Please turn volume down?

Food was OK but not what I would call restaurant standard. My husband asked for a Mediterranean salad and they brought a bigger portion of the side salad. We ordered sticky toffee pudding it came out cold and dry . Service was poor , it was the first time I have never been to a sambuca restaurant and to be honest I would never go again. Staff were turning up at the table with drinks for other tables walking away with half of the order no attention to detail bad experience all round.

Fabulous night for granddaughters 18th birthday. Meals all fab and great service from lovely staff

Absolutely lush food and service for my daughter's 18th birthday....would definitely recommend for a night of food and laughter 🙌🙌

This is only the 2nd sambuca I've ever been to other been south Shields. On a date night we were going to Vue to watch movie then decided last minute to go to sambucas. From walking in to leaving could not fault the whole experience. Staff so friendly not over friendly, atmosphere calming and relaxing. Food ten times better than South Shields quality, portion size and presentation. Service second to none, left feeling like we were only customers in establishment. Would definitely recommend a visit. Must of been good as my hubby left a tip which he never normally does

When we sat down, we ordered drinks. We went for the carvery and filled our plates. The drinks arrived when we almost finished our meal. The quality of food wasn't all good too. The mashed potato and carrots/swede mash was like slop. The roast potatoes need checking too. Would be awesome if they were not baby potatoes.

i was at sambucas at trinity square Gateshead on Saturday night and the food was amazing. We all had steaks which were cooked exactly the way you wanted, they were perfect. the staff were amazing too. had a fabulous night .please get your self there as you'll not regret it!

Had a lovely family meal here. The staff were great and friendly. Good music and nice relaxed atmosphere. The lasagna is amazing.

Called in for pre-cinema dinner. Overall we had a very good experience. Service was perfect, food was very good, and reasonable value and good portion sizes. Even a pint of Guinness came in at under my own self imposed rule of a max £5 a pint. Only just mind! Only one slight negative was the slightly over loud music. Other than that a nice start to our evening. As for the cinema experience that followed next door. That's a whole different story.

Fab place to eat, great atmosphere and Naly and his staff are amazing

Fantastic food and service. Looking forward to going back

awful experience a male waiter with a tshirt 10x too small for him with glasses and swings his arms about stood there and done nothing except from seat us he was rude when we asked him simple questions about the lunch time special ,he got 2 girls to do everything for him, these girls were clearly busy with other customers and he kept telling them to do other things in a rude manner,food was ok drinks were handed over quickly, stairs were not ok me and my partner slipped down them and have both bruised our backs and legs

Stairs were slippy and I sprained my back due to slipping down the stairs no longer can do much

Good food and they do a Sunday carvery, but felt a bit rushed to pay and leave as a queue of people were waiting!

Had a lovely pizza 🍕...bolanase with pepperoni...would have liked more than 5 bits of pepperoni on ... like .... The americano coffee was wonderful 😋

All round good value hor money. Drinks a bit pricey but hey I wasn't forced to buy them. All staff that I had interactions with were top class.

Dismal Drink Service. below average food. slow service.

It was very busy when we got there, but they kept us informed, and sat us as quickly as they could. The food was excellent as ever. The only downside is the incredilby LOUD MUSIC. You can't have a conversation or hear the Servers

Really good place in Gateshead! Staff really friendly and a good range of options on the menu, which is Italian. They also do a decent Sunday roast. Lovely atmosphere and family friendly.

Starter was horrendous! Pork belly was more like pork scratching!! The guy who served us jst couldn't be arsed but the main I got was delicious which was a surprise 😋

Didn't like being served a draught beer from a half empty can and to be toped up by another, and being charged for a draught beer at full price,

Cracking carvery here. For the price and quality, you cannot beat it. We will be back!

Pasta romana absolutley tasteless. Cheesecake tasteless yak £70 bill waste of money

Männliches Personal sehr nett Einrichtung mit den Fotos toll Spaghetti mare ein Traum Danke ich kam aus muenchen

Only thing nice was the sweets that came with the bill

Food good staff very friendly and helpful

Myself and a friend had a lovely meal here. It was busy due to it being a bank holiday however we were seated and served promptly. Our food came quickly between courses and were tasteful, hot and filling. They were even so kind to offer us a dessert on the house. Would highly recommend.

Great food great staff great price what more could you want

Awesome Sunday carvery had by the family, will 100% be visiting again.

Quick visit before heading to the cinema. We didn't have much time but didn't book a table, got seated straight away, served very swiftly then the food arrived super speedy. The food was absolutely delicious, couldn't fault a thing. Staff all friendly and welcoming. We will definitely return & recommend to family and friends

As a coeliac, I'm always nervous about eating out, as a tiny amount of gluten can make me really ill. I couldn't find anything about gluten-free food online, so I rang up. I was delighted to hear that any pizza or pasta dish could be provided as gf. Arriving, my grandson and I were greeted by Lindsey, whose customer service was exemplary the whole time. When I asked about a particular starter she fetched Ginger, the chef. Once he heard I have coeliac he couldn't do enough! Yes, he could find a way to do my starter and yes he would prepare all my food in a safe way, avoiding all cross contamination. All in all, a wonderful experience, and the price was amazing too!
