Uno's Trattoria in Newcastle upon Tyne

When I was at university (about 25 years ago would you believe) we’d occasionally pop down to Uno’s for their happy hour £2 pizzas. Now times have changed and prices have risen but Uno’s pizzas are still good value. Yes the waiting staff try to upsell (can you blame them?) but it’s still a decent option. Won’t necessarily knock your socks off though.

We ate at Uno’s on a Friday lunch and as usual It didn’t disappoint. We opted for the 2 course special. We shared potato skins which were delicious and a cheesy garlic bread which was so tasty too and we even had leftovers. Emma had the Italian sausage stew which was lovely and I tried the gnocchi with pancetta and garlic sauce. All in all a lovely experience and I’ve been coming here for 30 years plus and it’s always first class. The service is first class too.

We didn’t book but the staff went out of their way to accommodate us Food was top quality. And matched by the outstanding servoce

Excellent place to eat and reasonably priced

A bit strange. From the street it looks nice. Bit the inside is in a mall.

The people serving were really nice. The food was just not good. I really appreciated the chef coming out and asking how was my meal, but I had to say it was really poor

Perfect traditional Italian restaurant

WARNING! Don’t expect to leave here hungry! The portions are enormous! We had the early evening 2 course menu with fish cakes and meatballs for starters then cannelloni and tagliatelle for mains. Neither mains were finished as we were too full. Excellent quality, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We popped into Uno yesterday for a quick, light bite, and what a treat it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and outstanding service. Our waitress, Laura, was an absolute gem—attentive, friendly, and made us feel like the only guests in the restaurant, despite it being packed for a Thursday afternoon. Now we understand why it’s so popular! We decided to share a Napoli pizza, and to our delight, it arrived beautifully plated on two separate dishes—without us even having to ask. A thoughtful touch! And the taste? Simply phenomenal. Hands down the best pizza we've had in ages! The crust was perfectly crisp with that irresistible flour-dusted finish, and the toppings were incredibly generous. I was this close to ordering another one to take home but decided to behave. Today, I deeply regret that decision—lesson learned! Next time the pizza craving hits, there’s no question: we’re heading straight to Uno. The drive will be more than worth it! A huge thank you to the lovely Laura for making our visit so special and to the talented chefs for crafting such an unforgettable pizza. Can’t wait to return!

Found us a table. Waiter really efficient and friendly. Food OK and piping hot, possibly, from the microwave. One table of guests really disturbing, very loud and foul mouthed, every other word an expletive and dropping the C-bomb before 7 pm with a young girl present. One table asked to be moved. Another left. Our complaint was listened to by the owner/manager but not heard. Not worth the money, c. £130 for two.

Thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Uno’s, with my son. We both chose from the lunchtime special menu - bruschetta, chicken wings and a pizza each. The food was delicious - very fresh and flavoursome; pizzas were especially good, with a perfect base and plenty of toppings. The meal, with a glass of wine each, cost £40 (service charge included), which we felt was really good value.

Superb food and very generous portions. Bruschetta with goats cheese and prosciutto, Rabbit bucatini, Nduja Scotch egg and Risotto.

Superb food and very generous portions. Bruschetta with goats cheese and prosciutto, Rabbit bucatini, Nduja Scotch egg and Risotto. Very friendly staff too.

Lovely place, Very friendly, efficient And helpful staff. Menu has plenty of choice without being overwhelming including a children's menu. Very well priced, even the wine menu was much better priced then the restaurants around it. I had the belly pork and black pudding starter with peppercorn sauce. Big portion and tasted fine just no real click of flavour, the belly pork was anemic to look at and needed searing. Carbonara for main, again very much nice but in need of having more flavour. Pasta didn't taste freshly made

Absolutely wonderful. Worth a wander down to the Quayside. We were looked after from our first arrival and the food was top notch and timely. Would not hesitate to return when back in the city.

Lovely Italian restaurant. If they still have it on the menu, try the nduja scotch egg, it's insanely good.

Really lovely food and attentive service. Nice relaxed atmosphere in there and really good value for money.

Really great service, food was fantastic, accommodating for kids, value was amazing. Would really recommend!

First time coming here , absolutely lovely food, great service from staff and a very nice restaurant. The dirty parmo was absolutely delicious as was the filo and goats cheese starter Would come again

Can't fault this place, delicious food, polite, friendly and very attentive staff and really lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Nice quiet afternoon meal, pretty standard Italian restaurant offering the same menu 2/3 course specials as every other Italian restaurant, cheap and cheerful, food is tasty and service was good

it's been a few years since I visited Uno's. It used to be the haunt of footballers and celebrities alike. still has the wall of signatures! I have to say the food was well decent in a great atmosphere. Good wine too. I defo won't be leaving it so long to return! Grazi mille

Absolutely shocking, don’t waste your money. Garlic mushrooms were nothing more than diced and thrown on the plate with garlic butter and couple pieces of toast. The lasagne was worse than a supermarket ready meal - just slapped on the plate with sauce slarted all over the place. It was sloppy and tasteless!! Absolute crap food.

I definitely would not recommend chicken wings. I honestly would take them off the menu. As I was told "that was their standard" when I sent them back.

As soon as we walked in we felt welcomed. The staff are absolutely wonderful! Attentive, caring, welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help. The food came quickly and was simply wonderful! And excellent experience and we will come back again!

Super calzone and all round experience.

Nice Service and great Pizza! :)

Absolutely amazing experience at unos tonight ,we were served by a lady called Katy who was great and even moved us for more space. Would highly recommend both starters and mains me and my partner shared 50/50 with pasta and pizza which was delicious and both the mussels and pancetta to begin.The young man who seated us was equally very polite and helped us with tables straight away-thank you very much!

Little treasure of an Italian great food great prices great staff

Really like this place great food and service, we'll worth a visit

I found a chicken wing in my vegetarian starter. I then asked the waiter for confirmation that my main meal, veg lasagne, was def meat free. The waiter used the torch on their phone and my fork to check. I approached the manager and suggested finding chicken in my starter and attitude of the waiter was pretty poor. He suggested it was my problem for not declaring any dietary requirements! My choice was clearly labled with a 'v'. I can deal with a mistake during a busy time of year but the attitude of the manager was shocking. They obviously care very little about vegetarian options so please avoid if you care about standards.

Visited on the 21st December and wasn't disappointed. Terrific King Prawn Risotto, packed with flavour, and the prawns themselves were tremendous! The pizzas and pastas enjoyed by the others were also very impressive. Already booked to return before the end of the year.

Food was OK to be fair, but 1 bolognese pizza 1 peperoni pizza 1 spaghetti bol 1 chicken and chips. 3 potato skin starters 1 Moretti 1 glass of wine 4 kids black current and water. Over £106 absolute greedy pigs.

Very good, and very typical, Italian restaurant, food excellent and portions decent. Several English options on the menu.

Brilliant place to eat ....so glad we managed to get a table ...we hadn't booked ..food and service was amazing ...will definitely be back.

Great meal in a pleasant environment. Decent sized portions and good service.

Uno's is absolutely top notch, the food is too notch, the staff are absolutely brilliant, and atmosphere is fantastic, you CANNOT beat Uno's! I came with family for my birthday meal tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed my night!

Excellent food, friendly welcoming staff with a fantastic authentic atmosphere.

We had great food in the stuff for very friendly and helpful

We enjoyed it real fun with multiple tastes

Efficient, friendly service, delicious food and great atmosphere. We can highly recommend.

Service from katy was amazing! Friendly and knowledgeable! Natural and pleasant Food was delicious and wait was not bad at all for a busy Saturday evening

Excellent place to visit food was great

First time visiting . Went in for meal with friends on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy. However we were seated quickly and service was excellent . Food was great . Would definitely visit again .

Uno'a is a lovely little restaurant on Newcastle quayside. The food is fab the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is always cosy. We go there quite often and it's always excellent. Food is great quality for the reasonable price and drinks are always reasonable. We tend to get a bottle of wine and a beer and usually spend less than £30 per person.

Visiting Newcastle for the night and wanted a simple place to go for dinner. Seemed nice but this was far from our experience. The selection was basic at best and for what it was quite overpriced (plus service charge which is automatically applied). I'm vegitarian and the options were quite limited to say the least, went for a vegitarian lasagne (DO NOT HAVE THIS) it was bland, tasteless and mushy, and cost the same price as my partner's calsone which was at least thrice the size of my meal and I am told much nicer. The wine was quite cheap and tasted it, I thought it was watered down at first. Although it's in a good area and the staff were nice enough, in a city with so many options for food, I would stay clear of Uno's.

Great food, good portions, prompt service

Wow our food was amazing, to find somewhere to eat where all four of us like food is a hard task but you delivered. We had 3 courses and every bite was delicious good selection of starters, mains and desserts and plenty of drinks to choose from. .

Just went there for cream brûlée and was delicious … Very friendly and welcoming staff

Visited this restaurant twice during a business trip to Newcastle. Fantastic food and service at a good price

Staff were excellent Food was good for the price Overall great

Good scram, but add 10% service charge , this should be optional.

Great pizza and lots of veggie options

Pizza is good here as well as the service. Lighting was bit wired tho

Family meal on a Saturday evening. Greeted politely and shown to our table within minutes. Staff very polite and attentive. Even though busy on a Saturday evening we received our drinks promptly and we didn’t have to wait too long for our starters. Calamari was plenty full and tasty. Black pudding and pork belly was superb and a great portion for a starter with two slices of black pudding and a good portion of pork belly. Recommend both of these. Garlic bread we had half with cheese and half tomato. Again superb. All 4 mains were fantastic and everyone said how tasty their food was and how they were enjoying it. As you can read above we enjoyed our experience at UNO’s and the food was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Superb food and service - went for bruschetta classic - best I’ve ever had plus veggie lasagne. Tasty food and friendly service - highly recommended

The food has really gone down hill, last two times I have been it’s been nothing better than I think you would get in a packet.

Had the pork belly and potato skins followed by a pizza and calzone. Huge portions, should have shared a pizza. Excellent food, highly recommended.

Great food (the best calzone piccante in Newcastle by a Mike), lovely atmosphere, and swift attentive service BUT we were not told in advance about the service charge so got a nasty shock when the bill came! Sorry but I prefer to give generous tips for good service and NOT have my pocket picked by the management. Will not be going back for this reason.

Great meal with attentive and friendly staff. Sea bass and tiramisu were lovely.

Amazing tasting food at reasonable prices. Will be going again 👍🏻

The food is outstanding and the friendliest staff you will ever meet

Great service lovely pasta been open for many years not the meal deal is great for two courses wish I could manage 3.

Fantastic place with fantastic food!!

Amazing Italian food, and wide range of varieties available. They also cater for vegetarian and gluten free dietary restrictions. I personally enjoy their thin crust pizza.

Lovely Italian food Not the cheapest but you pay for quality and it was Well worth a visit 😀

1st time here, will definitely be back again. Food was amazing, large portions and reasonable prices.

We have been going to Uno's for many years, it's our traditional stop before any home game at St James' Park. The menu is fantastic and caters for everyone and the food itself is fantastic. The service from the moment you walk in is top notch and everyone is very well looked after, I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Superb

The secretive was great everyone was friendly, but the food was full of oil and was greasy and soggy and the spaghetti and meatballs made my girlfriend throw up everything not too soon after. I’m wondering if it was the shellfish that was cooked in my own pasta Di mare, I only ate a quarter of mine after finding it a bit too fishy, something felt off and my girlfriend tried a muscle that was in my meal and I think that might’ve been the key to it. I think you might want to check up on the stock you are gaining in and also put less seasoning and oil on the food, remember less is better.

Good alround Italian menu. The people there are friendly and make you feel welcome.

This is such a lovely little restaurant with such a welcoming team of staff. They were very attentive and made additions to my pizza with ease. The cocktail was also very nice. It is very reasonably priced considering the great quality of the food which made me and my girlfriend’s experience even better

My friend and I make an annual trip up to Newcastle and for the past three years have eaten at UNO's as our first choice. Very disappointing meal this time. Starters were okay but both Pizzas had a burnt dried up crust. We left the crusts and politely told the waitress why! Manager didn't seem too friendly when we paid and left. Had coffee and a drink elsewhere afterwards.

Absolutely wonderful Italian restaurant

Visited with my daughter at 20.30 on a Wednesday evening following a race on quayside. It was fairly busy, no spare tables but no queue waiting so we were seated immediately Tables are a little close together no privacy here your very close to table next to you. Service very average - a young Man took order and a girl then brought drinks and just put them on table without speaking or smiling Food arrived fairly quick - no one came to ask if meal was ok or did we want anything else throughout whole meal Food was nice enough and soda actually tasted like soda unlike some places lately. Reasonable prices for food but be aware they add service charge to bill without asking I hate this I always leave a tip but don’t expect it added auto.

Really lovely meal and good service

Excellent choice of excellent food. Good service. Lovely meal served by very pleasant staff members. Thanks.

Lovely meal. Portions are generous. A good choice.

Cracking Italian 🇮🇹 food and good value

Great spot and one we will go back to! We were able to get a table for three at the last minute, staff were very friendly and service was good. Recommend the pizzas!

Been a while since I've eaten here but it's always been one of the best Italians in Newcastle and it was as good as I remember it. Lovely food, friendly staff and good value. Would highly recommend 😁

Cant go wrong great food and atmosphere and cheap

The food and table service were nice, I would give a 3-5 stars for them. Unfortunately, when we paid the bill at counter, the staff kept joking on us: ‘I already forgot you were still here’, ‘did you come from breakfast?’, ‘we do serve breakfast, you can stay to tomorrow morning’, ‘sorry, we have to add up service fee, because you have stayed over 2 hours’… I tried to change topic, and asked if they do student discount. The guy was like: ‘do I look like a student? I’m not a student’. This is not answering my question, but looks unprofessional and impolite with all the ‘long stay’ jokes. I really got upset, and had never been so embarrassed in any restaurant before. We arrived around 6pm, because it was our first time there, we spent a bit long time on food decisions, we ordered around 6.30, and had 2 drinks for each of us. We paid the bill around 8.30pm. There was no one waiting for tables and we never told that our table was booked by none. It may be out of my innocence, that I never knew people would be judged and played impolite jokes if stay in a restaurant over 2 hours under this kind of situation. Good luck with the jokes, would never come again

Pre-concert dinner for two. Very busy at 5.30pm Saturday. Plenty of attentive staff though. Toilets clean, but very small, cramped cubicles (ladies). Sensibly sized pasta plates (Cannelloni), very enjoyable. Excellent tiramisu; Bailey’s creme brûlée very good, but couldn’t taste Baileys. Lovely atmosphere, but a bit noisy when full. Expensive glasses of wine.

We visit regularly when in Newcastle and have always enjoyed the food, lovely staff too. The chicken kiev pizza is perfect if you're serious garlic lovers like us! The portion sizes are huge

Fabulous food and excellent service. Brilliant!

Favourite place to eat in Newcastle! Always a great atmosphere, amazing food at a good price and friendly servers! Would recommend the crab and prawn linguine

Didn't book but the staff squeezed us in...we had pizzas which were absolutely delicious and our waitress Sophie was brilliant, extremely friendly and helpful with her recommendations, will definitely go back 🙂

Service is fab & Great atmosphere. We had a vary large group & we we're all served together. Amazing food. Fabulous night. Thank you

I prefer my pizzas with a crispy crust. Sorry

Lovely food pleasant staff we had a really nice night

This place bangs and when I mean it bangs I mean it bangs, 100% would one back, shame no dessert wine to compliment the tiramisu which was amazing but apart from that best Italian I’ve ever had

Lovely meal again before theatre show round the corner. Great service and I can confirm that the Tiramisu is definitely home made, as I’m allergic to carrageenan / E407 which is a UPF emulsifier put in industrially produced tiramisu and it definitely was not in this.

Relaxed atmosphere. Staff are great..welcoming and food spot on. Like being in Rome.

Girls weekend in Newcastle. Unos fitted us in last minute, on what was a busy Saturday night. Beautiful cocktails, and pizza. So welcoming, staff, food, atmosphere all really good. Definitely recommend

The three of us in our party all loved our food The portions were huge and it was served piping hot. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

Great food fantastic service great location. Highly recommended

Has lunch here yesterday, very tasty and very authentic Italian food. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, would recommend.
