The best restaurants serving Italian food in Elvet County Durham North East

This was the second time that we have visited this fantastic restaurant in a large family group. The first time 9 of us attended for our grandson's 21st birthday and it was so good that we booked again for our annual Christmas get together. This time there were 15 of us. Some chose from the Christmas Fayre menu and the selection was amazing. Others selected from the main menu which was a plus for us as other venues that we have been to for our Christmas 'party' only offered choices from their Christmas Fayre. I have to say that no one was disappointed with their meals. Perfectly cooked and presented and great portions. However, I must commend the service. Nothing was a problem and we were not rushed at all. Some restaurants that we have been to hardly let you get your starter down and they serve you your main course. Not here. A lovely civilised break in between so we could all enjoy being together. That said, the wait wasn't overly long that we were all awaiting our next courses. We had a great night, good food, fantastic service and certainly not over priced. We will all certainly book again, either individually or for our next family celebration. So, if you are looking for a nice meal, either just couples or for a bigger celebration, this is the place for you. Thank you Little Sicily and we look forward to visiting again.

Lovely barman Johnny helped us with our win selection. We had a Gavi which was delicious. Food platters on offer looked good as did the desserts. Whole atmosphere was relaxed a fuss free. Will definitely go back.

Traditional Italian restaurant with huge portions. Very packed when we visited as there were few other eating options in Durham on a Sunday evening!

I have a chicken vindaloo every time I visit it an Indian restaurant and this was the worst I’ve had in a longtime. It was hard to eat the chicken as it was extremely chewy also there was very little sauce with the curry. This restaurant is very poor and does not live up to its reviews!

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst on a spa break. The food was absolutely superb, totally delicious and fabulous warm welcome on arrival. Highly recommend.

The entrance was a bit hidden but it is a place that you cannot miss for their amazing foods and great services. Great portion, and the food quality was beyond expectation. They also have vegeterian options and their cheese was tasty. Simple foods, however they were so satisfying. Their staff were all very lovely and friendly. Would definetely recommend this place foor food!

We went for lunch today and it’s was so disappointed. We ordered 6 tapas. Only one was hot. 4 were a bit warm. We have to require the paella to be reheated because the rice was completely cold! And it took 10 mins to reheat the paella. Ordered chicken wings and one of them was still with two feathers! The waiter told me it’s supposed to be so. I asked so do you mean your chef never clean and remove the feather from wings? Had no answer. I will never go back to this place again.

Food is subpar for the price but service and atmosphere is good

Optó por este popular restaurante italiano. Me gustan los toques agradables de una pequeña limonada de cortesía a su llegada. Nos mostraron a nuestra mesa en la parte delantera del restaurante y nuestras opciones de bebidas se llevaron antes de nuestras opciones de comida. El servicio era excelente y nuestra camarera era atento pero no quisquilloso. Si te apetece ir a preguntar.

Great cafe! Amazing staff…warm and welcoming…the perfect spot for a weekend coffee

They obviously don’t have a clue about getting food to you in good time. The manager was rude and dismissive. Don’t go there.
