The best restaurants serving Italian food in County Durham North East

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

Chips where recooked Chicken was well done Too much marinated Pizza not fresh

Both pizzas and garlic bread was swimming in grease and all 3 were burnt on the bottom. ordered a lot from you’s a while back but soon stopped as every pizza you’s sent out was burnt, changed location so I thought I’ll give it another go… only for it to be the exact same🙃wouldn’t recommend

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!

The best Italian food is a bit pricey, but the food is on point. They don't have a kids' menu but will do smaller portions.

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

We've been many times. As usual a delicious pasta.

Nice and clean restaurant, children friendly, so go in book a table and enjoy.

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

Food wasn't bad at all really. Not quite as lively as we thought it would be. Not much atmosphere etc. food and service mostly fine. Thanks for the experience

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
