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

My husband and I were staying at the travelodge, station road, Durham and decided we would walk into Durham for something to eat. We spotted the Little Sicily Italian restaurant just in front of the hotel and decided to grab a pizza. I can recommend the food, the pizza was lovely and staff very pleasant. If you're staying at the travelodge go no further, try the Little Sicily Italian restaurant.

We were looking for a restaurant in Durham and found this place early one Friday evening. The menu is not extensive but I would prefer to see a few dishes done well rather than lots of dishes done just ok! We ordered pasta, a pizza and the house red. The food and service was outstanding. We would recommend Coviello without hesitation.

Aways friendly and awailable. Good variety of choice, pizza, pasta, stakes. Love this place

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!

Restaurant was busy when we arrived and we waited around 5 minutes to be seated ( I did ring ahead and ask if a table for 2 was available) we were shown to a table at the back of restaurant which was pushed against white wall which was also all we had to look at! We waited a good while before we were given menus and drinks order taken. No pumps its bottles only so 2 Peroni ordered. Weren’t quick with drinks or taking order., a male member of staff stood next to our table and just stared at my partner which was weird and uncomfortable then after what seemed an age he walked off .. didn’t ask or take order! Finally someone who asked if we were ready to order! We were both hungry and food took a good while to arrive. I ordered Penne alla Siciliana which was aubergine in a basil, mozzarella and tomato sauce. Very disappointed with what was on my plate overload of penne and tomato sauce, I couldn’t find any mozzarella and aubergine was a few tiny pieces. It was basically pasta and bland tomato sauce .. we ordered a garlic bread with tomato to share with mains the bread was cooked well but It was overloaded with bland tomato sauce: Nobody came to ask if everything was ok or if we needed more drinks ( we did need drinks) due to location of table was difficult to catch anyone’s attention. We’d finished before anyone came to table: we didn’t bother with another drink just wanted to leave. I did mention the lack of ingredients on my plate however he didn’t seem interested! My partner had fish and wasn’t impressed: overall a busy restaurant with no atmosphere and poor service ., and dishes missing main ingredients wouldn’t be in a hurry to go back.

Food was decent nothing special 50 people rimmed into a small room shoulder to shoulder with the table beside you unbelievably loud couldn't hear your self think never mind have a conversation

Amazing service and food. Highly recommend 👌

Delicious food and friendly service 🥰 I would visit it another time!

Fantastic as always tonight. Alex really looked after us and Josh made an extra spicy Carne Piccante pizza which was amazing. We always have a great experience in ask Durham and it's our go to place. Highly recommend

Don't bother… Iced coffee is microscopic and has no ice in it. Smoothie may as well be the fruit with a straw sticking out as it doesn't really get blended - also they only put one fruit in rather than a mix… Food was pretty far below par, it would nice to have a warm panini and not yesterdays chips.

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.
