The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

What a lovely place Guiseppe’s is. Small and cosy, the food was delicious, both the Rigatoni and the huge pizza! Service was excellent, so friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked into the restaurant. All for a great price too.

Lovely food, great service. All on time and relaxed. Just above the brilliant Pelaw Inn 👍👍👍👍 Top marks Well worth a visit.

In a high street full of cafes, this is the one we always visit. Staff are very friendly which ensures a lively and happy atmosphere. The food and coffee is excellent. Definitely a place to visit if you are in Yarm.

A fabulous venue, incredible hosts, and delicious food !!! We have been many times and always have a fantastic time with brilliant service and consistently good food - highly recommend

I have been to several Italian Restaurants over the past few months, and I can honestly say, Little Ninos is one of the best and the food is made fresh and tastes authentic. The prices are reasonable and service was very good and the place is very clean. 👍

We stayed in the little b&b room with our little dog, the room had everything we needed clean comfortable, private and only the sound of the sheep bleating to keep us company. So a great nights sleep. Lovely breakfast as well. Traditional pub in a lovely village with friendly staff will definitely book again.

Just superb food, people and setting. We love coming here, for special occasions and just when we want a fantastic meal out. We brought our family here when they visited as we knew it was somewhere lovely to show to them. Such kind and warm hosts who work so hard to make sure everyone has a fantastic evening.

Love the support I get at this place!!

Staff are lovely , so helpful, so polite. Purchased a lasagne and frittata plus salad to take away...both absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Beautiful food, great service and a very cosy atmosphere. I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and would highly recommend to anyone!

Great little spot with lovely food and great service, would recommend as one of the best eats i've tried so far in north shields. Will be back with a bottle of wine next time since it's BYOB

If you a connoisseur of fabulous pastry then this place is “the bomb”. Truly world class offering baked on the premises. Innovative croffin, (croissant muffin with Tarimasu) that melts in your mouth. Coffee also gets 5 stars. It’s located in an industrial area so a bit of a discovery location, but well worth seeking out.

Best cocktails in the whole of newcastle. The singer was really good, but WAY too loud.. give the man a acoustic guitar and no microphone. Would gave been much better without the loud music. Amazing bartender thou!! Came back a second time for the smokey old fashioned, and will return (and stay for a few if we could hear each other talk)

I can't begin to describe how **Utterly Outstanding** this lovely cafe is. If there was ever such a place as a utopia of Italian food, this is it, it is simply perfect. Staff is beyond friendly, food is heaven in your mouth and the coffee is brilliant.

Terrible servicio, los vasos en los que nos sirvieron bebidas fueron reutilizados sin lavar ya que mi hermano consiguió mi vaso que tenía mi lápiz labial puesto... Rollo de cocina utilizado como servilleta, pidió una carta de vinos ... no tenía uno ... me mostró 3 botellas de vino muy barato ... así que no tenía ninguno ... tenía una Stella en su lugar ... regado ... nunca volverá
