I got a takeaway tonight. Unfortunately even though Vespa is 3-5 minute drive from my house, the pizza and chips I ordered arrived luke warm which quickly turned cold when plated. I had to then reheat in the microwave. The chilli and honey dip I ordered wasn’t sweet at all and more like a chilli oil, with no flavour. I have eaten in restaurant before which was lovely, hence the 3 star, as this may just be a takeaway issue

We were visiting South shields and sought advice from a local person on Italian restaurants and was advised Vespa popular so we decided to try it.Initial reception not too good as receptionist left us standing whilst on the phone and turned her back as it was obviously a personal call We started our meal with soup and garlic bread both good so we had good feeling about main course' WRONG both our main courses were terrible I had Fettucin Formgio blue I could not cut the meat it was tough and impossible to eat,the waiter came to check and his solution was to provide me with a sharper steak knife and this made no impression on the meat and I just left the plateful of food My husband had already only eaten part of the Lasagne and declared it dreadful and again left a plateful of food Having already complained which was ignored we paid our bill £60.80 and left I just wanted to advise other customers to think carefully about this place We eat out often at Italian restaurants and can say Vespa is one to readily forget

Lovely staff and decor...only fault NO prices on food menu !! £40 + pounds for a pasta, pizza and a couple of drinks is a bit OTT !

Been going to Vespa since 2020 covid times and never had a problem. Returned today food was OK bottled pop expensive no draught and charged for ketchup, didn't seem to be enough staff for a busy Sunday and service was poor 😐

Sunday dinner offerings were nice but what really let things down for us was a charge on the bill of £1-50 for a tiny pot of sauce...come on man vespas we paid nearly £150 for our meals! Condiments should be free!...was going to.leave a 10 percent tip but decided not to as we felt some things like the sauce and small bottles of coke were very over priced and a rip off.

Was recommended to us by the Receptionist of the hotel where we stayed and we had an excellent evening. Luckily it was 'Steak Night' and both my wife and I had perfectly cooked, delicious steaks. Service was first class and our server was very friendly giving us great information about the local area and where to visit.

Visited here today with my friend, he’d been before but I hadn’t. We were shown straight to our pre-booked table, next to the fire, so cosy and inviting. We both ordered different meats for our Sunday lunch, I had the chicken- beautiful. The veg, potatoes, stuffing and gravy were gorgeous too. The nicest Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long, long time. Will definitely be back! I must mention the staff- the service was absolutely brilliant. They were attentive, friendly and our food arrived quickly and with a smile, in spite of how busy it was. They made an already great experience even better.

I was really looking forward to the meal, The Restaurant looks really nice,Calamari had a very dry coating on it which didn't taste nice, I asked for the seafood pasta without cream due to an Intolerance, they wouldn’t accommodate (which every other restaurant I have been too has) I had to choose something else from the menu, the Garlic bread was rock hard and dry. We waited 40mins for our mains and the table next to us waited longer. It is over priced and does the chef know there are other ingredients other than cream to go in pasta! Come on Vespa up your game.

On arrival at the restaurant I saw the layout and thought to looked like a top end place. I was wrong. Calamari overdone and tasteless, the seafood pasta was swimming in cream and the garlic bread was cremated. Staff were cold and unwelcoming. Unfortunately one of our guests experienced a dodgy stomach following the meal. I wouldn’t recommend, such a grave shame for a nice looking restaurant.

Me and my family arrived early for our table, then my boyfriend arrived later as he wasn’t with the party straight away they wouldn’t let him in so I had to go and get him! Not off to a great start! Then while taking our orders the waitress (who was lovely & hope she is okay) served us and she was so over worked she almost passed out at our table while taking our order. My mam queried on whether the seafood pasta could come without cream as she is allergic to dairy and they would not accommodate and asked her to pick something else. When the food come out my starter which was the prawns and crusty bread were COLD and my sister asked to have some bread with her THREE tiny meatballs and we were told ‘we have no bread’ even though I was sitting next to her with bread. Then our garlic breads were served to the wrong table and then trying to eat the garlic bread almost broke my teeth it was so hard! My seafood pasta was swimming in cream, prawns over cooked and what was meant to be muscles in my pasta was actually just shells with nothing in them it was disgusting! The fact we were charge nearly £200 for this is appalling I will never go back and will let everyone know that they have spent more money on making the place look nice then training their staff to cook and serve properly!

Went to Vespas for a family meal and was not impressed. We all ordered starters and mains, I got meatballs which were small and when I asked for some bread to go with it they said no. Some people got calamari which was overdone. The mains took 40 minutes to arrive, which I think is too long to wait. The garlic bread was very overdone and tasted like cardboard. 3 of us got the Di Mare pasta and although it stated it came with cream it seemed as though it came with a whole load of full fat cream in it which made me feel sick (I was not expecting that much as I have never had that much cream in a seafood pasta before). To top it off the prawns were overcooked, very chewy and slightly crispy. Overall, not a great experience.

Been going to Vespa since day one when it opened. New manager , doesn't seem to think regular customers are important, and disregards any requests by them , he has also initiated recent changes and staff turnover have seen, for myself, a drop in the service, there seems to be a lack of staff at there busiest times, also another recent price rise on everything, even charging for extra gravy on a Sunday or some ketchup. Vespa needs to understand, they are in the town of Jarrow, and not central Newcastle. All in all, sad to say this is meaning we will be cutting down our visits .

Returned to the restaurant as our last visit was perfect. This time around couldn’t have been more different! Steak was mainly fat and not meat, service was ridiculously delayed, we asked for a bill a total of 5 times and eventually went to the bar. Upon arrival to the bar to pay in the finish, the bar staff advised ours was next, as she was rushing to hand another bill out, (baring in mind, the family who this was handed to, was still eating their meal when we requested our bill the first time) and it was brushed off as nothing. Empty apologies and nothing sincere. Shambles!

I was really looking forward to Vespa for a family meal ,there’s an inviting fire as you go in through the door but that’s the only good thing about my visit ,the conservatory seating area is cold and when we did get the food which I had grass fed beef roast dinner ,the meat was tough,the plate consisted of a sea of very dark gravy with a potato mash island with beef ,a huge Yorkshire pudding,2roast potatoes and a stuffing ball…the vegetables came separately which were ok .I didn’t like the food at all.

Came here to celebrate my daughters birthday. We have been here several times before and food was fine but when it came to the bill it was disastrous!!! We were overcharged massively. We were a family of 4 and were charged for 4 pizzas (we only had 2) and 2 other mains so whoever thought we were having 6 mains is crazy. I paid on card before checking bill and realised after the overcharge. The person at the till couldn't be bothered and after a good half hour sent over cash for the refund. I said it needed to go back on my card but no-one had a clue what to do. Eventually we saw the manager and he said he would arrange it. Oh how I wish I'd taken the cash cos 2 weeks later I'm still waiting for my refund. I have tried to find a head office to complain to but no success. The attitude of some of the staff was appalling and we won't go here again. A lovely birthday night out was ruined.

We used to go to Gianni’s regularly when the original owners ran the place and it was always a firm family favourite. We went back tonight for the first time in years and it was like stepping back in time! Delicious food, great atmosphere and fantastic service - just like it used to be! We’re absolutely delighted and we’ll certainly be back soon!
