The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

OMG what a hidden gem. For starters my son had the mussels and they were delicious; a beautiful creamy sauce with just enough heat. I had the risotto balls and they were to die for, I could have had them again. We both had pizza for our main and the pizza was lovely, a nice crusty base with a lovely delicate flavour and the toppings were superb. We'll definitely be back.

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

Visited Borrelli’s today with my Mum. We try to go at least twice a week as the staff are so friendly and accommodating and are always good for a laugh! Nothing is too much. Atmosphere is great, as is the food. Total value for money. 🤗 Would highly recommend.

Increíble lugar para comer tal golosina cuando queremos mejorar un buen día también : ) , siempre ha sido increíble la gente abd muy amable.

Fabulous find, great pub and really helpful, friendly staff. Will definitely return. Great opening hours and so lovely that it’s a proper pub for the community.

Doing both occupational physical and was Doug speech therapy all there are knowledgeable and down to earth they’re wonderful people and therapists would recommend to anybody

Had fabulous food with friends! Staff very welcoming & all of our meals were excellent. We were deciding what we might have on our next visit 😊

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)

No puedo empezar a describir lo **Excelente** que es este encantador café. Si alguna vez hubo un lugar como una utopía de la comida italiana, esto es todo, es simplemente perfecto. El personal es más que amable, la comida es el cielo en su boca y el café es brillante.

We had the privilege of trying put these pizzas at the Ox Inn in Middleton. The guys in the van were fantastic, worked so hard and were incredibly busy! But it was totally worth the wait. Great pizza, great variety of choice and served with a smile! I couldn’t recommend these guys more highly, just excellent!!!

The owner is very pleasant and attentive.. the meal was superb.. cracking little restaurant..definetly worth a visit.

Was lucky to stumble across this place a few years ago and was thankfully in the area once again. No place like it and no chef like Mr R. Made to order food and an opinion on any subject matter is fully included at any point of your visit 😀

Have used The Kitchen many times but tried the Sunday Lunch for the first time last weekend. As we live near we collected rather than use the delivery service. The meals were cooked to perfection, nice and hot, fresh veg, crispy Yorkies and loads of meat, we had one chicken meal and one beef meal. Meat was tasty and lean. We were very impressed and will definitely be using again for Sunday Lunch

Visited for an informal business meeting. Sadly no decaf coffee available, WiFi very slow and mobile connection pretty much non existent. 3 hours max stay as non-residents and you must put your car reg in at reception. Honestly not that welcoming, though it was clean and clearly well used by office tenants. Not sure how to respond to the response left by the owner, so I'm editing here instead. Definitely your place we visited, and at shortly after 10.15am this morning I was told there was no decaf available.
