We had a wonderful evening at Stable Hearth. The restaurant and the staff were welcoming and the food was delicious. It was well presented and the portions generous. The waiting staff were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Parking is easy after 6pm

Went pre- theatre on Thursday. We had wonderful pizzas and cracking wine . The staff were all lovely and the Italian guy was really friendly and helpful and explaining to me the Neapolitan veg I had on my pizza which looked like spinach but tasted like aniseedy broccoli- delicious- and that the pizza I had was the most popular in Naples- I can see why 👍🍷

Se chiudi gli occhi sembra di mangiare una pizza nella migliore pizzeria di Napoli. Poi gli apri e ti ritrovi in un ambiente familiare dove ti accoglie gentilezza e cortesia. Un ottima carta dei vini e il calore del forno a legna che ti avvolge e ti riscalda l'anima. Spettacolare

Slow service and then found a long hair right in the centre of my arancini ball. We did receive an apology from the chef and a “it can happen but it’s very rare”… I understand that but it’s unpleasant and put me off my food. We sent it back to the kitchen and they took it off the bill. That being said, the pizza was lovely “nanny’s fancy” so a real shame about the starter. Although the service was slow, all the waiting staff were really polite and friendly. Oh and please get some flutes - drinking Prosecco out of a wine glass just isn’t the same (sorry!).

Been meaning to write this since Valentines night! Absolutely love this restaurant, we always have an amazing time here. Service is great, atmosphere is excellent and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. The authenticity of this restaurant is great if you like the real deal in Neapolitan style pizza then this restaurant is a must for everyone. The authentic Italian ingredients used are all so flavourful and delicious, unlike most other pizzeria restaurants. Certainly shows why this restaurant has been voted the best Italian restaurant for 4 years and the wine list is amazing. A must try restaurant for everyone. A truly authentic experience and We love it here. X

Slow poor service, disappointing evening , table wasn’t ready when we arrived, slow service, ordered starters, olives didn’t arrive, had to ask for our olives when waiting for starter. After starters were finished, empty plates left on table for quarter of an hour, pizza didn’t arrive so asked for it as take away. Eventually pizza arrived 90 minutes after we arrived in restaurant. No apology from manger who was there. Disappointed as has been slowish before, but this was beyond ridiculous. Restaurant was pretty empty. Won’t be rushing back.

Sat for one and a half hours tonight before we were served our pizza. Takeaways were obviously prioritised over those who had reservations and were already seated at tables. We have enjoyed meals at Stable Hearth for many years and have even bought vouchers for friends, but after this disappointing experience we will be thinking twice before we come back or recommend this place to others.

Soggy Pizza base, cheese was hardly done and fairly bland. Fobbed off by being told that’s the authentic Italian. Rubbish. There’s a couple of other Italian restaurants in Darlington that don’t trade on being pizza experts which are better than this place. I wont be returning.

Extremely disappointing experience. Our first visit to this award winning restaurant. Our table wasn’t ready. We waited 20 minutes to be seated. Service was extremely slow. It took nearly an hour for our starters to arrive. They were very nice when we did get them. Another long wait for our main course. Even drinks took a long time to arrive. Not sure what the problem was. Won’t be rushing back.

I have visited here twice now with friends. Each time, we were welcomed by attentive and friendly staff. The menu has so much choice, it was difficult to decide what to go for. I have tried the three little pigs and the pesto and goats cheese pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. It's almost like being back in Italy. The restaurant itself is warm and cosy. A lovely little gem in Darlington. Highly recommended!

Took the family in on a Thursday evening for a meal, booked 6pm, had 2 messages asking if we were definitely coming at 6pm which we confirmed and then we arrived at 6pm and our order was taken within 15 mins of arrival. The food arrived over 1 hour later which l believe is too long. Cannot fault the food or the pleasantness of the staff and the rating reflects the long time we had to wait for the food…..and as it turns out the bill!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for ages, I love pizza. Made a reservation for 9pm, our table was waiting and a lovely vibe. Only after 30 mins our drinks arrived, after another 15 mins our starter. We shared an aubergine dish that was too bitter for me, but husband ate it, really needed to be served with some bread as very saucy. After 75 mins we noticed no one had food. I’m not sure if it’s always slow or if it was a bad night. When the pizza finally arrived it was very nice crust. There was a decent wine menu, house larger is £5.50. Our meal for two with one starter, a beer each, an average wine and two pizza was over £70. Service was friendly, food was fine but a combination of price, ok (not amazing) dishes and timing means we’re unlikely to return.

Down to Darlington on business I hunted for tasty food options and settled on a pizza to go. The service and helpfulness of staff was second to none. As you'd expect from a Neapolitan pizza place, I didn't have long to wait for superb and tasty pizza - was there less than 5 mins, or so it felt!I have had my own wood-fire pizza oven for 15 years and I know how hard it can be to deliver consistent quality pizzas. I can say their pizza was truly excellent and very authentic in the Naples style (the Vera sign says it all). Light and fluffy edges (cornicione) and a perfect balance of sauce and toppings. Would recommend the Diavola. Best to eat it hot, so be prepared with a handful of serviettes (gladly supplied by Stable Heart).Carry on with the great pizzas Stable Earth - what a fantastic asset for Darlington!

Been to this restaurant several times and always enjoyed it. Not so much this time. We were shown to a table upstairs (despite me walking with a stick and the stairs are not the easiest to navigate). When asking if there was a table downstairs I was curtly asked if I'd specified a table downstairs, to which I responded that despite being there in the past, I didn't know there was an upstairs). Shown to a table in a deserted upstairs and it was absolutely freezing. Asked the waiting staff (Rachel and Anna who are a credit to the business) and the heating was then switched on. Didn't warm up for the whole time we were there. Bright white lighting, no ambience or warmth whatsoever to the place. I did ask if we could just order the pizzas, have them boxed to take away but apparently this couldn't be done. Not sure why as the pizzas have to be cooked anyway? So it was sit in the cold or leave with nothing. Other diners did come upstairs (first couple said no and were shown to a table downstairs). One lady had her coat on and luckily I had a scarf to wrap round. So disappointing as the food if nice but not likely to return any time in a hurry. As said, the waiting staff were so lovely but it appears the people in charge are not so much......moral is ask for downstairs table.....

Underwhelmed by starters and mains. Starters served at the table and then wait a couple of minute for cutlery. Trying to order a simple beer turned into a debacle. Ordered 1st IPA which was nice. Ordered another before mains to be told there’s none left. Tried to order an alternative to be told 5 mins later they had none of that either. Ok I’ll do without and have water. Then half way through my pizza a bottle of IPA materialised but was told it was warm. I was without beverage, so indulged. Daughter admonished for not having mask when trying to sort the drinks issue out at the bar. However, a table of 6 seated next to us four of them allowed entrance without masks. Poor Covid Risk Management & No consistency - three different waitresses served our table but obviously didn’t know the previous requests. Pizza limp and soggy. Highlight of the night I presume the manager falling up the stairs flat on his face but with the two pizzas not being dropped. More Tom Daley meets Fawlty Towers. £100.00 for 4 for pizza you’d expect better. Charged for the warm wer that took 15 minutes Wanted to leave the waitress a tip who didn’t know the difference between lager and beer because she was 17. Rare in this day and age. Was told it went in a shared tips box so declined. The drive home past Dominos had us all thinking the same thing. Poor at best....

My only tiny point would be that one of the waiters didn’t know which pizzas we ordered (didn’t know the menu) which made it slightly confusing.

Picked up some starters and pizzas for my sons birthday. Usual excellent standard. Tried the calamari for the 1st time and it was cooked to perfection! The margarita DOP pizzas were the popular choice. I had the Branston, which had spicey salami and chilli on it as it was pretty good. If you like it on the spicey side this is the pizza for you. Tried the mandarino and limonata soft drinks and would highly recommend them alongside the chinotto is well worth a try if you like a bitter sweet soft drink. Looking forward to when the restaurant re-opens again to eat in and enjoy the evening there!

I contacted the pizzeria yesterday lunch to order for around early evening, I was advised what slots were available for collection and unfortunately they were either too early or too late for my preference. It was apparant that I had mis judged how much notice I needed to give as they were obviously very busy. I then said I would leave it this week and book for next week, upon the lady taking my order she realised that I was ordering pasta's and explained that she would be able to squeeze me in due to my order not being for volume pizza. I left the call extremely happy that I had my delivery booked in.My son collected the pizza, the pick up service was organised and efficient and our food was amazing. I have visited the restaurant before but never tried the take out menu. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for excellent customer service upon taking my order and deliverying such high quality delicous food in this difficult time. I would like to say my take out from Stable Hearth is my best takeout so far in lock down and beleive me I have had a few (too many) . Thank you team Stable Hearth for servicing your customers so well !

As a bit of a lockdown treat, for our first venture into the ballooning options for collection and or delivery, it was an educated choice to contact the stable hearth team. The recent online reviews on various social media platforms plus previous visits gave us a great deal of confidence in our choice. The initial contact, correspondence, collection was well thought out. The anti pasta starters,four pizzas + sides were as glorious as always, we did our best to match the ambience at home, not quite the same, just different.We all look forward to getting back to some sort of normality and get back to the full experience. Fair play to Nick and the team having to step up and change the business model and still maintain the highest of standards!

This place has won awards for their pizza and rightly so. First of all the staff are friendly, attentive and very helpful. We had the mixed platter to start which was nice. The pizzas are so good, cooked to perfection with tasty toppings. I had the nduja on mine and it had a great kick to it without being overpowering. Honestly as good as any pizza I've had outside of Italy. We also had sticky toffee pudding for desert so don't overload too much!

Diaviloa was was proper spicy and the garlic bread is so tasty. Creme brûlée’ and sticky toffee pudding are definitely not Italian but it doesn’t matter as they are great and tasty. First class and highly recommended.

This is easily the best pizza I have eaten in the U.K and as good as any I have had in Italy. Great wine, lovely service and excellent value for money.We will definitely be back.

Very nice, I had 3 little pigs pizza, really enjoyed it, not too expensive either. Only tiny criticism would be was that it had a bit of a soggy bottom.

A friendly environment with good service. PIZZA is excellent and great flavours and toppings with 1st class ingredients. Try the deep fried courgette flowers for starters. Good drinks and gelato and sorbet. Good value carafe of wine! Take home your leftovers!

My husband ordered a takeaway pizza for himself as I was out. He said it was the worst pizza he had ever tasted - very sloppy base, overloaded with tomato and tasteless and he couldn’t eat it. Shame because his expectation was high after reading good reviews.

Very good pizza restaurant. Cooked very well. Downstairs looked more elegant, although upstairs eating area look a little bit bored. Suggest to ask for downstairs table.

Awful from start to finish. When phoning to book a table, the owner(who I have had the pleasure of meeting before, so I knew it was him) seemed totally disinterested. Got to restaurant on a quiet week night, hardly anyone in. Service was slow(cooked to order/fresh blah blah blah) and when pizza came it was cold and gloopy in the middle. I'm sure the rebuttal will be 'this is how they eat them in Napoli'. Well after living there for 6 years, it certainly isn't. Owner needs to either close himself off from public or smile once in a while - most unwelcoming. Won't be back.

My second visit to stable hearth, around 18 months apart, but things have not changed, still absolutely superb.

First visit and won’t be my last. You’ve got to give this restaurant 5* purely for its customer service. Waiters and waitress were very attentive and always smiling, it is clear they love their job and customer service like that often makes a difference to any restaurant. Food was equally as good and filling! Pizza for main which is cooked fresh to order and you can see the chefs making it, as long as you are seated close to the cooking area. For dessert at £5, an Sicilian orange sponge cake with cream. This place is very Italian from the moment you walk in...what’s not to like about that! Grazie!!!

We were looking forward to eating here, with the plethora of awards given, unfortunately we were disappointed from the get-go. The service was unwelcoming and the food unexceptional. We left feeling underwhelmed.

Table booked for 8:30, seated quickly, offered drinks, very relaxed and information. Friendly and happy staff, nice surroundings, and the pizza... The best pizza I have eaten anywhere in the world. Beats Italy. Always perfect, traditional toppings and cheap as chips! Just unbeatable.

Visited at lunchtime for pizza with the family, fantastic service, very child friendly but still managed to retain the atmosphere of a classic pizzeria. Loved it!
