Sambuca - Tyne Tunnel in North Tyneside

Well worth a visit,all your needs are catered for by very nice staff.

Had lovely food again. The majority of the service was great however one of the waiting staff started clearing the table before everyone was finished! This particular member of staff has done this multiple times before! Please wait until everyone has finishes before you clear!

Absolutely lush every time!.. staf are really friendly, food is amazing and the place itself is really nice 👌

Ordered prawn cocktail the lettuce still had grit on it. Husband ordered steak medium and came well done. I ordered steak strips and pasta in a sauce. The sauce was so sweet it made me feel sick so couldn't eat it. The garlic bread was nice had left over and asked to take home for it to be put in tin foil not a box. Was ment to have pudding not to even be offered it even though we paid for it. £45 pound down the drain. All the lady could say was sorry. nothing to sort any think out. I feel ill after eating there. Will stay away. Waste of money Last ate there a year ago gone down down hill

There were hardly any diners. The service was great and the staff were amenable.

The toilets are horrible (ladies). Dirty & very unwelcomeing. Wish they would fill their pepper mill .

The staff are not friendly at all. Worst service ever. They were very rude and had an attitude. We would always go there for our lunch break, but this will be the last time.

We live 175 miles away but holiday 7 miles away & always make sure we make regular visits, which we have done since our grandaughter was born just over 7 years ago in North Shields.

Couldn't fault the service and beautiful food, love the place

Lovely lunch staff very professional but very friendly well ran restaurant

Staff are lazy, unpleasant, clearly they don’t like there jobs, food is disgusting, stay away if you don’t want a miserable experience

Always excellent service and food.

Service was very fast with friendly helpful staff and the food was fantastic value and tasted amazing.Favourite restaurant all round.

Excellent food and excellent service

Service excellent food great and decent portions and well cooked and good value for money for a 3 course Sunday lunch and the staff could not be more helpful and polite

Lovely afternoon with friends. Everything was so nice

It was busy, I was meeting up with family for lunch, I had a massive 12" garlic bread for starters, so some might want to share this, the main meal was smaller and a pasta dish, but was unusually a bit greasy and buttery for carbonara. Washed down with coke as I was driving. Service was quick and friendly.

Great value,lovely attentive staff too! :)

Great place. Cheap 3 course meal.

Delicious food, excellent service, everyone is very friendly, the place is warm, very clean, I loved it!!!

3 course Sunday lunch for under £9 and good service.

Food was great and staff were friendly.

The pasta was delicious, I was disappointed though by the amount of chicken, that you pay extra for, will definitely go back but won't bother with the chicken. Also, £2.50 for a pint of lime and soda seems a lot too. In fact thinking about it the pasta was delicious but the add ons are excessively priced.

Lovely little restaurant. Lucky enough to have this a short walk from home! Staff are lovely, food is delicious and the prices are reasonable!

Fillet cooked as asked for and was lovely and lasagne was good too. Delivered on time and hot. Thanks.

Lovely setting with the quality and value for money that you expect from a Sambuca restaurant. Welcoming staff on top of all that.

A buissy resonably priced italian resterant deals on food keep the bills down. Sunday lunches are great

Service is fine food let the place down. No customers came, in can see why now. Such ashame when trying to explain what was wrong, staff nearly started arguing even though had this kind of meal before. So I won’t be returning again.

I come here regularly as it is the best Italian. Food and prices are spot on. My husband had the cheesecake for dessert and he said it was phenomenal. The service today was spot on. Young lad serving us gets a 10/10. Polite, talkative and attentive. If you haven't been yet you defo need to go.

Lovely! Food spot on, great price and fab staff 👌 xx

Absolutely love sambuccas first time I've been to this one and it did not disappoint food was beautiful service fantastic

A lovely spot, very unique interior and a great lunchtime special menu. We had a spare hour so popped in and were massively impressed with the whole experience. Will definitely return.

Disgusted at the attitude of the waiter . Picture shows why

Enjoyed a good Sunday lunch with family. Its in a beautiful old pub. The Duke of Wellington. Built in 1840.

The service was good the restaurant was clean but the food wasn't good we complained and only had to pay for the drinks one lemonade and a pot of tea.

Food normally lovely from here, but tonight the chips were just black and overcooked, the veg was also overcooked, the steak was edible, but for 26.00 it was a let down sorry to say.

We went on Thursday evening. Worr lass ordered chicken with vegetables the portion of vegetables was very poor for £12.95. The manager seid that's the new portion size very disappointed. The Sunday dinners are really nice I hope they don't make the portion size smaller on them. That was the most expensive bit off chicken she's ever had. The staff are great Maria is very nice and polite to everyone.

Lovely food, good crack but needs a lick of paint

All v reasonable prices.. Nice and warm ...music not to loud..while eating ..

Very nice Sunday lunch and always a warm welcome.

Absolutely beautiful food lovely and hot

Food was amazing as usual and we will definitely be returning very soon

Always good value for money and super tasty

Absolutely delicious meals and a lovely friendly atmosphere. The staff did well to deal with two large groups attending at the same time and were lovely throughout the meal. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We go here often and are never disappointed. Most recent visit was New Year's. Great food. Great service Lovely atmosphere. What's not to like?

Food was terrible. No flavour, cold and undercooked

Friendly staff and great food, value for money. Will always use this restaurant.

Tasty hot food, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Food beautiful

Best Sambucca for miles 👍 always great food, and service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, meals quickly served and reasonably priced

Normally dine in.Friendly staff good food reasonably priced. Only had delivery following an operation and it was spot on.

Nice food lovely staff we go all the time

Excellent food and service. Great value

First time in this restaurant really impressed with meal just thru tyne tunnel.first class.

Recommended by receptionist at Premier Inn North Shields - Well played 👏 Great food and drink in a lovely setting - No need to book in advance. Sat down straightaway...Fantastico 🇮🇹

Food was amazing, staff are lovely, couldn't do enough for us, couldn't fault it . Would definitely recommend

I eat here quite often All of my food was lovely apart from the steak which we asked for medium it came raw they took it away cooked it again and brung it back dry could barely chew through it, the staff member argued the steak was medium although the other waiter had already agreed it was raw, totally put off by the staff members attitude

Very good good at a decent price

Fantastic staff, great food, bloated now... Ahhh

Great lunchtime special before 5pm. Starter, Pizza/pasta, coffee/ice cream. Very inexpensive around £6.

Arrived slightly early waited 15 mins to be seated even though we had booked ! The service appeared to be slow and abrupt , we ordered food and all was well untill my son was interrupted and told he’d been served the wrong dish and his had chilli in ‘ it’s a good job my son doesn’t have any intolerances ! Think I will be using a different resterqumt next time t, this is the second time I have a bad experaince here !

Beautiful food @ Beautiful prices everythings beauty here... Warm friendly and relaxed. A fine dining experience...

Food was cold, got hardly any garlic mushrooms yet when I was in there the other day for a meal there was a massive portion with big chunks of bread, got 2 tiny slices of a baguette or something.

the drivers need to be updated with the procedures of whts customer has asked to do when an order is booked in , as some of the drivers hvnt been reading or getting the notices told them whts customers asked them to do when arrives , thanks

Standard sambucca experience all good

Friendly staff who provide a quick service. Excellent food with a great lunchtime offer.

Great food, great atmosphere, highly recommended.

Best around no stair on the flat food really tasty and lovely well worth a try staff very polite and nothing a bother thanks

Nice staff, food was nice and we didn't wait long

Cheap decent food, cracking atmosphere, nice staff.

Food was at my door just 8 minutes after the order was placed!

its been a coupe of years since we've ate here but the place is still as nice. lovely staff and food, had a great time. thanks

Found a table quickly Attentive,efficient staff Reasonably priced tasty food Warm atmosphere and as a person alone a very relaxing atmosphere

Great good and good service. Reasonable prices too

Brilliant service and food as always

We just love Sambuca, whether we’re in the restaurant or getting a takeaway the food and service is always outstanding

What a fantastic evening. The food cooked to perfection, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Tastiest meal I have had for ages . Fresh ,piping hot just delicious. Thankyou

Beautiful food. Highly recommend nice abd hit too.

Beautiful place, food amazing, staff very nice. 5***** would recommend.

Nice and friendly staff wonderful sunday lunch will definitely go again

People nice, food nice. Lush place

Gr8 value shame some of the food was cold on Sunday dinner.

Great service and interaction with our child from the staff! Decently priced and a great overall meal

Sadly the food was not pleasant. I’ve ordered the same meals from Sambuca 1 for the past 15 years and the Tyne Tunnel interpretation of the meals was way below par. Sherry sauce so sweet it could have had a sugar coating and a well done steak that bled into an overly creamy pepper sauce. I cannot recommend this Sambuca to anyone I’m afraid - for quality Sambuca food it has to be Sambuca 1 on the fish quay.

Very good for casual dining. I enjoyed my lunch. 3 courses for £5.99. Very good.

Food was lovely. The young lad serving us was excellent. Great all round customer experience

Lunch time special until 5, very good value and nice food, lovely building and pleasant staff, well worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic little gem we love it food staff atmosphere brilliant keep it up👍👍

Great value,friendly staff and very tasty Sunday lunch.

Had fillet steak and it was the biggest juiciest piece of steak I’ve seen and was cooked to perfection.. infact my whole meal was delicious x first time using this sambucas and will definitely order from here now on ! The whole customer service was 5 ⭐️.. would highly recommend you order from here!!

Very friendly and helpful staff lovely

Risotto very disappointing tonight just full of mussels and not much of anything else

The best value italian food anywhere.

Lovely sunday lunch served quickly by pleasant staff

Veg and garlic bread was nice. My stomach didn't agree with it. Didn't get my coke :(

Prices have went sky high since last time we went about a year ago, what would have cost 50- 60 now cost 85, dont get me wrong the food was great as was the service but not worth that much!

Food was delicious, best pizza I've had in ages, delivery was on time, driver was pleasant and good value for money, happy customer
