The best restaurants serving Italian food in County Durham North East

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!

Absolutely blows me away. Everything there sell is cooked to perfection. 110% Love there food and I'm fussy. Quick service friendly staff and food is absolutely incredible.

Relaxed, good atmosphere, service just right ......thanks staff for a good evening

Decent food and very reasonably priced and good selection for all courses. Excellent service and a fabulous atmosphere. It was very busy and had a good buzz. Very boujy as my kids would say. We reserved on-line and was all easy.

Would recommend, food amazing, friendly staff, would visit again if in area

Been here tonnight for my 8 year olds birthday meal, food outstanding as always, staff simply cannot be more pleasant, really lovely place, see you next time

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.

We had a lovley visit for my partners 30th birthday, Lee from Newcastle was very helpful he went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you italian farmhouse managers and staff. What an outstanding service I have had. I hired italian farmhouse for my daughters birthday and from start to finish the service I received was amazing. I was unsure of what I wanted and kept swapping and changing my mind not once was I made to feel this was an issue,I just in the end decided I wanted something basic and simple like sausage rolls, wedges, sandwiches. I got this with the fun element for kids making their own pizza! They loved it and went down a treat! I have a niece who I didnt inform had a nut allergy ( my bad ) they were prepared to clean all surfaces allow us to check ingredients and make something for her but understandably said whilst they would do their best they couldn't guarantee so we declined and they allowed us to order in a pizza, this obviously is someones business but I feel to do this they want more than just money they want to give and make customers feel valued and welcome I was so impressed. Staff constantly checked everything was ok, constantly asked if anything else was needed they were prompt in bringing out food and keeping the area clean and tidy, nothing at all seemed to be a bother to them. I also had a courtesy call making sure all had went ok as I'd changed my mind that many times. Thank you so much italian farmhouse for an amazing memory for my little girl. We will most definitely be becoming regulars!
