Dropped in after the Irish Open Golf as we'd been walking all day, We hadn't booked but they managed to fit the 4 of us in, service was slick and friendly. The food was excellent and freshly prepared, pizza and pasta were great.

Wow! We had a great, authentic Italian meal. We went to Italy for 7 weeks last year, and this meal compares favorably. The Mediterranean pizza was fantastic - real Parma ham and fresh burrata. Do yourself a favor and order goat cheese as an extra topping - wonderful flavor bomb. The papprdelle with beef and mushrooms was really tasty - large portion too. The side salad was more than just lettuce and dressing, and was enough for two. Good wine selection - by the glass or bottle. The creme brulee was good, not great. The service could have better in terms of clearing the table of used glasses and plates. Overall, highly recommended. Make a reservation.

This is the best Italian restaurant that I've ever been to! I was stunned to find it in Northern Ireland. We were on a golf trip and stayed at the Slieve Donard hotel which is nearby and walk-able. All of us chose different menu items and all came away with the same opinion. Truly fantastic service as well. I highly recommend you go here for a meal. Especially if your staying at the Slieve Donard. I'm guessing I would find something even better if I went to Italy but have not yet had the opportunity.

We went here twice during our stay as we enjoyed our first visit so much and the second one didn't disappoint either. The restaurant has a great, warm and welcoming atmosphere and the service is very good. Everything ran like a well oiled machine and we didn't have to wait long for anything. The food was also very tasty so all in all I would highly recommend.

We are here on holidays and have dined in a few restaurants and they all were accommodating . We dined in this restaurant and the food was very nice . It is not very family friendly as they don’t want buggies even if your baby is a couple of months old .. and can’t sit up in a high chair … the general staff are very friendly but the manger definitely not . They had rang to confirm my booking on the day and I said we have a baby which will be in a buggy sleeping . They said that was ok. But on arrival the manger was not happy with this! Very disappointing. Parents love to get out for food and to be made feel uncomfortable while out with your family is every distressing.

Disaster, bland food , no spices at all. How is it Italian ? Real Italian food is bursting with flavours. No salt or pepper on the table. Lack of attention from staff. We waited 10 minutes for menu, another 15 for waitress to take our order, 10 min for drinks. Meals were terrible , when we wanted to pay and go we waited 20!!! Minutes for the bill. Terrible experience

Shockingly good food. We were on holiday to Newcastle from belfast for a week, went to Villa Vinci on our last day. Genuinely have no words for how good the foor was. Bruschetta was unreal, tortellini was perfect, paperadelle was unbelievable, seafood linguine was delicious. On top of the food being amazing the service was great. The waitress and owner were both so attentive to us and made the meal 10x better than it would have been.

Villa Vinci was hiving when we arrived. We had booked for 7pm and were taken straight away. Drinks orders where taken within about 3 mins and food orders not long after. Menu is extensive and plenty of choice. I had the spicy sausage pasta and my hubbie has the lasagne. Both were beautiful. Without too much room we ordered dessert. One creme brulee and one tiramasu. My tiramasu was very creamy but lovely was too much for me. Ate about 3/4 of it. All in all a lovely anniversary meal!

Not often one has to complain about too fast a service...but I felt I was being hustled. Having settled in for a relaxed meal,I ordered a cocktail to get things going, indicating to the server I'd like to finish that before pasta arrived and then order wine. The food and cocktail arrived withing 2 minutes and simultaneously . When questioned, with the faintest of apologies....all staff were attentiveness polite. Obviously, this meal wasn't being cooked to order. The beef was chewy and the mushrooms slimy...the pasta and sauce were fine. All good if you've never dined on real Italian food.in Italy.

Great restaurant in Newcastle. We are a multi-generation party of 5 and we were met with warmth, kindness and generosity the moment we stepped through the door. The food was outstanding, my in-laws love the lamb shank and garlic bread. I recommend the orichette, lasagne, seafood linguini and margherita pizza as well. There's just a nice positive vibe to the place. Big 5 stars!

An abundance of salmon, smoked fish, mussels and big prawns in a lovely white sauce. A little hidden gem well known to locals.

First time in Villa Vinci and was very disappointed to say the least. 3 of us ordered lasagne, expected it to come with at least a bit of lettuce/garnish. No it didn't, it came in a dish on its own with a slice of toasted dry ciabatta. More cheese than anything else in the lasagne and mine had apool of tomato cookies oil around the outside. I definitely won't be back to Villa Vinci. Staff were very pleasant and helpful but I'm afraid the quality and presentation of the food totally let the whole thing down!!

Fabulous, fresh menu. Busy, friendly and welcoming with an excellent choice. Well organised restaurant, staff work hard and together which adds to the experience. Food choice was good and reasonably priced. Quality was excellent. What people didn't eat they took away with them which says loads! We had the seafood pasta and sea bass the first night and the shared platter and pizza on the second. Nothing was left. Thank you Villa Vinci - we will be back when in Newcastle again.

The food was just average. I got the Brie which was tasteless. Pizza was lovely. My husband’s burger was burnt. The female manager was extremely abrupt with no personality at all. I was told my table was at the window. When I sat down she said not there that’s for a party of four coming in. I moved to the table beside it. Five minutes later two ladies were placed at the table I was told to move from not a party of four. I was still eating and the waitress came and removed my husbands plate before I had finished. The male manager is a lovely man.

We didn’t have a table booked and the host was very accommodating. It’s not easy when out with family to find a suitable gluten-free and vegetarian pizza, however, on this occasion the pizza was absolutely tasteful at a reasonable price. If we ever returned to Northern Ireland, we would most definitely Come back again. Thank you Villi Vinci for being so accommodating.

Music was a bizarre choice for an Italian restaurant to say the least?? The food however, was outstanding!! We were all so impressed with how amazing EVERY DISH was!!! We couldn't stop sharing so we could all have a taste of everything! Absolutely loved it!! Also, the staff were so so friendly and welcoming. We have a wheelchair user in our family and they were so accommodating and helpful, making sure we did not feel awkward and everything was totally smooth. Couldn't ask for more. Though I must say, the tortellini was a lot smaller than the other pasta dishes, especially the spaghetti. Either way, we could not recommend this place enough, gorgeous gorgeous food.

We stayed in Newcastle for the night in the avoca hotel. I was recommended this restaurant by a friend so booked a table here. The restaurant was very busy, very bright and the tables are very close together. Our table was crammed right up against the bar. I ordered a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, at £8.50 a glass it was disappointing the wine wasn’t adequately chilled..at the top of the menu there’s a section entitled “while you wait” so we ordered the bread and dips. Unfortunately this arrived at the same time as our starters. I had the chicken wings which were flabby and not crisp. My husband had bruschetta which was fine but definitely lacked flavour, no garlic no salt no basil. When the waitress collected our plates she saw we didn’t finish our starters and she asked was everything ok and I said it was alright. She said just alright? And I said yes. She didn’t question further. Our main courses were fine. After we finished we waited 15-20 minutes before someone eventually came to clear our plates and ask if we wanted dessert. At this stage I didn’t and we requested the bill. We then waited another 10 minutes and no one came to us so we put on our coats and walked over to the till. The service and the lack of flavour lets this place down.

We have visited here for a meal a few times at weekends but more recently while walking our dog in Newcastle we would have called in for a drink as they have seats sitting outside, and I particularly like the strawberry daiquiris as it’s hard to find a good one anywhere else. Unfortunately today my husband was turned away when he went in to order a drink for us while I sat in the seats outside with our dog. He was told you can’t order a drink without food, by the man himself who has served us JUST drinks outside, only a few weeks ago. On this basis we won’t be returning here for any reason and will happily call into one of the other dog friendly venues in the town, I’m sure they will appreciate the custom more.

On this visit I ordered a pulled pork burger. And also a kids fish goujon meal. The goujons,which they call baubles were four in number and came with a small chip and a frozen slush drink of your choosing. The burger was so big and heavy and as I asked for extra bbq sauce became a huge gooey mess. I eat less than half,but more my fault than Smokey's. It is a clean friendly and busy place. Recommended.
