Uno Momento in County Durham

Aways friendly and awailable. Good variety of choice, pizza, pasta, stakes. Love this place

We ate here yesterday, greeted a lovely friendly waitress who made us feel very welcome, even though we hadn't booked. Food was outstanding and service was brilliant.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the north east

It was a lovely time here with our friends. My calzone was so filling that I took half home. Our starters were lovely too.

Out to lunch with friends. Used lunch time menu.Food lovely.staff lovely and service good.x

The restaurant has a strange smell. The food tastes good. The service is nice. Good quality for the price

Visited as part of a hen party. Staff were amazing and food was delightful. Big portions, and very tasty. When Bill came I was shocked by how much it was but in a good way. What we were served was a banquet, but felt like I was paying far less for what we had received. Gutted I never asked for a doggy bag . Thank you for an amazing experience and the girls serving us were amazing.

Fantastic food perfectly cooked and very reasonably priced. Two starters, two mains and a large wine and a beer all for £61. Loving this place highly recommended.

Waited 45 minutes for our food - when we raised it politely with the waiter, we were told chicken takes 25 minutes. That was it - no apology and a stinking attitude so we left. The girls who were serving on the floor were absolutely lush but due to the attitude of that one staff member and how long we had to wait without managing to get any food at all, we'll never come back. First visit and last visit!

Food ...so much food but amazing food Goats cheese starter was so tasty potato skin a delight, carbonara enough for 2 pizza was so good staff were so happy to help lovely place .

We ordered two flat whites - two cappuccinos arrived tasted of absolutely nothing - watery milk. Told the staff they didn’t comment or offer to remake the coffees. V poor!

We found this restaurant by chance tonight after strolling through Durham old town. It's a little gem with a lovely atmosphere, great service and lovely food. Pizza and bolongese were brilliant. Another winner for Durham, we will be back.

Terrible cold food. The manager is the most miserable man, never smiles once, Pizza used to be great, but now I could only eat 1/4 of it. Avoid, if you like pizza

Went today only to be told it was cash only! This is the 21st century and we don’t carry nor did we have a card to withdraw cash! Shame because we have often eaten here before and in other uno momento so to be told cash only was a bit of a surprise! We won’t return!

We got menus drinks we got the cutlery we had 2 drinks then that was the end , no one came for our order we waited 45 mins still nothing but the front of house cleaned 4 tables near us still no service would not go again we went to zen the thai restaurant 5 star to them amazing food fabulous service lovely atmosphere best place to eat in durham bypass uno momentum if you are hungry

Excellent, food was great and staff we excellent

Beautiful food and generous portions will definitely be back

Very friendly and efficient staff. Service very quick

While sightseeing in Durham we decided to eat here because an Italian is always a good option when you go with kids! We arrived early but they took care of us right away. The place is small but cared for and pampered in detail. The staff is very attentive and professional. Abundant and quality food!! It's a good place to eat!!! It's worth stopping!!!

We came to Uno Momento with family for lunch. Loads of choice for food - they pretty much give you a book to read through! With food chosen the kids meals came out with the starters so they could get started. I had the black pudding which was OK, my wife had the Spicy prawns which were nice! Kids meals were a fair size although chicken nuggets perhaps a little overcooked. My son was very happy as he had Kids cheese and tomato pizza and it came with chips. The pizza was pretty much half an adult pizza! When mains came out they were a pretty good size with one of the party having a calzone which looked massive! In all honesty we were so full that we didn't manage to get desert - but also they were unable to gake card only cash on our visit so we limited ourselves a little to make sure we had enough cash on us! The waitress was friendly and helpful, and overall it was a really good lunch! We had been worried we may have picked the wrong place after seeing so many nice places on our walk through the city - but turns out we was well OK in the end! 😀

A lovely lunch food vibrant and tasty would definitely return

Absolutely brilliant restaurant - massive menu with a huge selection of dishes, which were reasonably priced considering it was very good quality food and almost comically large portions - the deal with any main and any starter bar a few for £17 was an absolute bargain, and almost ended me with the sheer amount of food (had garlic bread which was honestly the best I've ever had and a meat feast pizza). Pasta was also really big portions, and was really good. Fast service, didn't have to wait too long at all, and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Amazing experience and would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Didn't book in advance. Good quality food.

Excellent service, excellent food, highly recommend...

Great garlic bread and amazing value!

A fantastic little restaurant. Great service, good portion sizes for the price, food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Beautiful decor very friendly staff and food was good😊

Fabulous meal! Excellent service! 2nd visit, thought we'd lost it after the pandemic, but thrilled to see it was still there and just as good and busy. Not local, but will visit again when in the area.

A very modest looking little place, it would be easy to overlook but we stumbled in after our original choice for lunch turned out to have a lot of stairs...too many for my Mum who uses a rollator. Mum was well suited here, found the seating relatively comfortable, and the loo was fine too. The decor is very traditional and a bit dark but I think in an evening, with candles on the tables, it would be cosy and romantic. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious. I am not a local, but if I'm in the area again, then I would be very happy to visit again.

Great restaurant,lovely food ,very good staff, really enjoyed our evening and have booked another meal before we continue our holiday.

Lovely place which we visited on a day trip to Durham! The staff were so lovely and warming. Food portions were extremely generous. The only slight down side is that the food is quite expensive, not sure if this is because the restaurant is located in central Durham. However, I would definitely visit again.

Visited for my boyfriend’s birthday food was lovely the staff were so helpful and quick service. Fran was our waitress for the evening she was amazing and so friendly! Will definitely visit again

Great meal here last night. A party of 9 and we were dealt with efficiently and promptly. Staff were friendly and attentive. All meals were delicious; portions were generous and the food was of a high quality 👌.

Visited on a holiday to Durham and was not disappointed. Firstly, the meal sizes were huge and great value for money. The atmosphere was nice. The staff member who served us was quite blunt but it didn't really bother us, we were there for the food not a chat. Overall, a good dining experience with tasty food.

Great food, brilliant staff. It's a great place to go and eat.

Mixed bag. Compared to about 60% of italian places in durham you will not be dissapointed. The pizzas are probably something to avoid (ive had a few varieties now). Do try the pastas they are above average. The hot chocolate is also quite nice. Not a huge fan of the staff, or the restaurant layout. if you want better ambience go to Spags up the road or better food try Rudys down the road. Overall fine, and better than paddy, pizza uno, and urban oven. Not a better product than chains like dominos, pizza hut or papa johns. But as a sit down place italian place only a few places beat it in durham.

Food and service was shocking. Cold black pudding for start which wS tasteless. Pizza with no cheese and bland pasta for main with cold chicken. Staff were talking aboht us and made it really obvious, we did find this quite amusing. Absolutely disgusting. I wouldnt let my dog eat there. Amguessong this isn't the same as the one in Darlington. They are worlds apart.

superb food , friendly staff good prices and lovely restaurant

Visited the resteraunt in Durham on Monday 29th April to eat in, and and found everything to be perfect! We were visiting Durham for the day and wanted something light for Lunch, what we got was amazing and very good value for money infact we ended up with snacks later as we were still full. I got an omelette with ham cheese and mushroom, my partner ordered a meat feast pizza and garlic bread, everything was presented really nicely and tasted delicious, all came with sides included. It was very enjoyable plus staff were really frendly too! Would highly recommend! 😁

Lovely food. Generous portions and friendly service

First visit and will definitely be back! The gentleman gave us a warm welcome and introduced us to our waitress. Quickly seated and drinks order taken. The staff were all young but so friendly, efficient and accommodating. One friend was GF and the waitress explained what GF options were was available which was quite extensive. Our starters arrived promptly, everyone was raving about the portion size and how delicious they were. The mains followed and were all amazing. We all had selected something different, pizza, pasta, chicken and steak. All ten friends were very impressed at how delicious and well presented the food was. The staff were very attentive throughout our visit ensuring we had drinks and always asking if we needed anything else. First class staff and first class food! Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

Absolutely incredible food, massive portion sizes! We would recommend splitting the pizzas if you are getting any as a starter, e.g garlic bread

Visited last Friday 5th April on the afternoon. First time I’ve been in even though lived around Durham all my life. We were not disappointed, lovely food, nice staff and the youngish lad who I assumed was the manager was very personable. Would definitely go back

Really nice experience great staff and excellent food definitely recommend

Lovely food calzone to die for.Great service.Very nice bottle of house wine

First time in there. Lovely food served by a really pleasant young lady. Would eat there again. 🙂

First visit Saturday 16th March, food and service excellent, won't be our last 👍

We got the last table, very busy on a Tuesday night. Rightly so, service was excellent. Food was hot, tasty and well presented.

Amazing, very well priced and extremely understanding staff. The menu has everything for all groups. Highly recommended.

Good food , service with a smile and friendly staff.

Monday night. Wonderful fresh food. Great wine and good price..

Top notch food with excellent customer service 👍 Huge portions and good value for money 💴 Definitely would recommend and will return x

Unbelievable value for money I go here with my wife and we are Working our way around their menu The Mussels starter has to be tried the amount you receive is unbelievable and the Allan crema sauce is just WOW, the Deep fried black pudding is also a lovely starter not massive but again is super nice The calzones are big so you may not finish it all but they do provide a takeaway box for any left overs

Lovely atmosphere, waitresses were very attentive but not pushy. Food was amazing! We came here for our Valentine dinner and we were not disappointed. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful food. Little dark n dull inside tiny tables not much space

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. What more do you need from a restaurant. Reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend and we will be back!!!

We were looking for a later dinner (8pm is late for Durham). Everywhere else was closing down but uno momento was hopping. We were seated immediately, served friendly but briskly, great lasagne. We engaged in conversation with a neighboring table. Excellent evening.

Lovely food, very accommodating and fast. Bit of a strange atmosphere but that's personal preference.

Great food, great atmosphere and fabulous service from enthusiastic staff.

Absolutely wonderful place. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable . My friend and I were staying in Durham for a month for work and we went every night . The menu itself is beautiful with so many options to choose from. The food was perfect every single time regardless of what we ordered with very generous portions at amazing prices. The spaghetti bolognaise was my favourite it was amazing. Special thanks to Jake who honestly couldn’t do more for us. Cannot wait to visit again soon. I highly recommend.

Great food, excellent service. Definitely will return.

Lovely food, ate almost all of it which is unusual. Had tagliatelle with salmon. Staff very friendly. The front cover of the menu was a joy to look at and unusual. Decorated tastefully inside. Stayed for almost 4 hours just talking to my aunt who I haven seen for a long time. She enjoyed the food as well.

Chad Powers and his son Regan were amazing, created a friendly and comfortable atmosphere with great atmosphere. They were very friendly with myself and friends, and the food was incredible. Could not recommend it more, fantastic food, fantastic service 10/10

Came here with my family last Saturday, we booked a table for 4 at 7pm and it was busy but we were quickly seen too and seated by who I think was the manager. We all had starters I had the bruschetta which was lovely and fresh as well as sharing a cheesy garlic bread between us. For mains I had the penne calebrese which again was perfect while the others had pizzas all of who thoroughly enjoyed them. The servers were all lovely especially the blonde girl who was amazing with my younger siblings even with it being so busy. Overall I would definitely recommend for families as it is great value for money and the service is the best we’ve had.

amazing atmosphere, chad powers and his son Regan were absolutely great. awesome food would definitely recommend 10/10 will be coming back!

Such an amazing atmosphere, food and service was really amazing, both Regan and chad powers were absolutely amazing, really helpful and chatty, would 100% recommend!

Busy, lively atmosphere. Great and attentive waitresses, but the best aspect of the visit is the food. Great portions of quality, tasty food. Would come again.

Great place for afternoon or evening meal out

Starters dissapointing,ordered Garlic bread way too big for a starter and brushetta,bread soggi...mains Calzoni way too big too,i had a lobster pasta dish....TOO SALTY.That was taken off the bill.Would we go again....No,sorry.

The other half and I called for here for lunch, with my Sister and her eldest son after a visit to the Cathedral. My sister and other half opted for the Cheese and Ham Omellete. The Nephew ordered the Mediterranean Veg and Goats Cheese Panini, whilst I selected the Chicken and Mayo Panini all of which came with chunky chips and a side salad. All of the meals where well presented and served hot. Staff where friendly and helpful and quickly advised visitors that they were having difficulties with card payments so where only accepting cash payments. This didn't seem to deter the steady flow of people coming in to dine.

Excellent meal, catered for the boys strange tastes very enjoyable

We were “greeted” by the Italian manager, we told him we had a table booked. He led us to a table,pointed at it and walked away Another man came up and took our order. He and the other staff seemed very pleasant.I had steak,my wife had the chicken The meals were average, we had a bottle of wine and some drinks, we decided to finish the night with a brandy coffee and a tia Maria coffee, both were very poor, could not taste any alcohol in either. As we left we said goodnight, the manager just ignored us(it doesn’t cost anything for good manners) we noticed he had been moaning and shouting at his hard working staff all night.Overall staff good, Don Corlemoany needs to lighten up.

I visited with family as we have done for a good while now, it was pretty quiet for a weekend evening leading up to Christmas. Service was good and the waitress had a smile and was very bubbly. We had a mixture of pasta, pizza, chicken and fish. The food was OK, however the pasta portion sizes were small. When I'm paying £14 for pasta carbonara, I expect the food to be better than "OK" and a decent portion size. How much does it cost the restaurant to add a little more pasta? The sauce didn't taste like authentic Carbonara, and was mainly cream. Whilst the pizzas were reasonably priced for what you got, other dishes were well over priced. Beer was reasonably priced, house wine was expensive. There are other good restaurants in Durham, and surrounding areas, be they Italians or other wise, that cost around the same. The difference being the food is better and I actually feel full when I'm finished. We were all disappointed, and will be seriously considering whether or not to return. It's a shame, it always used to be really good, costs have increased due to Covid and inflation but when you double the menu prices for pasta and increase Chicken dishes by nearly 50%, I expect better. Sorry.

Excellent food, but why oh why don't they score those enormous pizzas through with a cutter before bringing them to the table? Using a knife to try cutting a slice from a pizza that's bigger than the plate, while the pizza slides around crazily is an exhausting exercise. Embarrassing too, when the pizza slips and knocks drinks over! These wrestling matches no doubt amuse the staff and nearby diners but they just p***s me off! TOP TIP: Take your own pizza cutter!

Came here after my wife had been with work, superb food. Very busy, but worth the wait. Pizzas are huge. Would have loved a dessert, but no room left. Will be back.

Delicious food and friendly staff, made sure my daughter had a perfect Birthday:)

Beautiful food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Excellent value and service. Food was very good and well presented. Always used to go to another Italian in Durham but this has topped it. Will always choose this one. Ambience is lovely and traditional.

Great restaurant! Lovely welcoming service, food was lovely. Portions generous and prices reasonable! Will definitely be back! Thank you!

This place is absolutely delicious! Food is mouth wateringly good and came in absolutely no time at all. Staff were absolutely lovely, polite and helpful - we all got both pizzas and pasta and can honestly say they were cooked to absolute perfection, huge portions mind but we love that as we got to take some home with us! Already can't wait to return! What a gem! Ps, make sure you book as it gets a bit busy!

I visited with the family on a Friday evening. Because it was the Lumiere event, I had booked a table in advance which was a good move. We were shown to a table on the first floor, which was fine (at first!). Firstly the positives. The location is great, just off the market place and I opted for the lasagne which was very good and came with a slice of garlic bread and a (very small) side salad. Others in my party had pizzas and the risotto and all got the thumbs up. Now the not-so-good. On our arrival, we were met by an older guy who I assume was the manager and he did not seem exactly pleased to see us, especially when we told him there were "only" four in our group and not the five I had booked for. This seemed to be a great inconvenience and there was much moving about of tables before we could sit down. The waitresses who served us were great - friendly and efficient. We were also half way through our meal when two very large groups of people, many in fancy dress, then came in and were shown to two long tables also on the first floor and the volume was so loud it was impossible to even talk amongst ourselves. So overall, good food but be prepared for indifferent service (on arrival!) and a very loud atmosphere.

Great food and portion sizes. The staff were really nice too.

This used to be my favourite restaurant to go to. However, my most recent experience wasn’t great. It took 50 minutes for mine and my partners starters to come out and a further 50 minutes after that for the mains. When wanting drinks, cutlery, the bill etc. it would take atleast 3 attempts asking each time for them to actually bring what we asked over. The service was appalling; no manners, check backs on how our food was, no apology for the delay, nothing. It is an utter shame as this was my first time bringing my partner there really speaking highly of it, and it really let us down. Don’t recommend if customer service is something you look for in a restaurant.

Had a delicious pollo pizza with just the right amount of garlic, and it was much larger than I expected. They even managed to squeeze us in despite not booking in advance.

Excellent food and excellent service, the 2 guys who were working Sunday late afternoon were fabulous and the restaurant was quite busy. I had calamari which was one of the best I’ve had, followed by Salmon tagliatelle which had good sized chunks of salmon in...

Brilliant service Fantastic food and very good value You couldn’t want for more Deceptively spacious with 2 floors of seating Charming waitresses too

After being let down by another restaurant in Durham we decided to try uno momento based on good reviews. We had lunch on a Thursday and we were not disappointed. To say the weather was miserable, the restaurant was quite busy. The atmosphere was good,...

My friend and I booked last minute when visiting Durham and had a delicious meal with great service. It was a Thursday night but the restaurant was full with a cosy, friendly ambience. Would definitely recommend it. Good value too.

Second visit and caught the end of a busy lunch hour. Both had 2 courses taking advantage of the special offers. Calamari starter was delicious and salmon tasty though the bread could have been better. Main courses were huge. I had spaghetti amatriciana and my partner breaded chicken with spaghetti. Both really tasty and we cleared out plates. Not quite authentic Italian but great tasting meals and good value for money. The menu is extensive and there’s plenty to choose from though not a huge vegetarian choice. Service was friendly and welcoming despite the place being packed when we arrived. Only down side was our seats next to the toilet as the last visitor certainly made their presence known in there and we were both glad we had finished our meal when we got a not very pleasant blast when the toilet door was opened. Lovely place though and will definitely return again

First time visit. We had booked a table for 6 people at 7pm. Upon arrival we were surprised to see a large gaggle of people stood outside in the cold, we soon found out they all had bookings too. The entire restaurant was filled with people stood in between/around tables, I was unaware there was an upstairs at this point. Unaware of what was going on, I squeezed through and approached a member of staff (the owner I think), to let him know our party had arrived for our booking. He aggressively told me to wait outside as he had loads of people waiting for tables (most of whom hadn't booked) and loudly said "WHY ARE PEOPLE SO IMPATIENT" as I walked away, to pretty much the entire restaurant. Good start. He left us all outside for another 15 minutes before gesturing us to enter the restaurant, what a privilege. He marched us over to a CCTV screen behind the bar and pointed to an empty table upstairs and said "You are there". Clearly still annoyed by our earlier interaction. He could've gave us a map and compass instead to make things a bit easier. We all laughed in disbelief that he couldn't be bothered to seat us so off we went to the naughty table. There wasn't enough menu's in the restaurant (apparently) so we shared 2 between 6. 45 minutes passed and we still hadn't received our drinks. We were sat by the little food elevator that brings food up and down from the kitchen and having the benefit of seeing the majority of dishes on offer come out, I didn't fancy anything that couldn't be mastered by a teenager. All the pizzas looked like they'd been warmed up from frozen, pastas looked microwaved and starters from the back of an old cupboard. I played it safe with potato skins and a pizza. The potato skins were undercooked and the dipping sauce awful. Most of our party got bruschetta which looked miserable. Served hot, not fresh at all and draped in a blanket of melted cheese? Weird. The pizza was rock hard and a jaw workout to chew through, most of our party who ordered pizza ended up leaving most of it. The toppings on mine looked to be added AFTER cooking, uncooked jalapeños etc. Total visit took over 2 hours and made us slightly late for onward plans. I will never ever go here again, I am baffled how this place is popular. I've never had such bad service and food, avoid at all costs. Get a sandwich from Tesco across the road.

We went just after 5.00pm so it was very quite. The staff however were very polite and attentive and everyone enjoyed there meal. I had a Calzone that was so big I had to bring half of it home with me.

Firstly a warning for anyone who uses the toilet upstairs...the floor on the landing is extremely slippery (possibly because it is near the kitchen) and I very nearly took a tumble down all of the stairs. The service is quick enough but it would have been nice if the staff were a little happier. The food looked very good and the portions were very generous. The pasta was however a little bland. The pizza was fine though. The garlic bread is a good buy as it is the size of a large pizza... certainly enough for 4 to share. Prices are reasonable at around £15 for the main courses.

Lovely little place in heart of Durham booking is a must tho 👌

Sehr leckere Pizza und Lasagne (auch nicht gerade wenig). Jeweils 13,95 Pfund, mehr als angemessen. Nur zu empfehlen!

Lovely lunchtime eatery - good menu and great service.

Excellent service, food and ambience. My request for less chilli in penne arrabiata was noted and the result was just right. Was busy on a Thursday evening so book ahead!

Unfortunately, the food was poor. The pizza dough was unsalted, so tasted of nothing, which ruined the whole thing. A shame, because the toppings were well cooked. Bar area dominated by two huge baseball bats, which leant an unwelcome air of potential violence. Service very...

In Durham a couple of days. Saw this place. Checked on TA, good reviews. Fancied Italian, went in, shown to a window table. Friendly staff. Small. Rustic. Lovely food. Good value. I’d have no hesitation recommending.

Visited on the recommendation of friends. Not disappointed. The restaurant is central and clean. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I was even able to order my mushroom risotto without garlic! The food quality and presentation are amazing and the helpings...
