The best restaurants serving Italian food in Middlesbrough North East

Gr8 staff, gr8 food & good price A1

when it did arrive the food was cold, pizza was missing, reported it and still waiting for over an hour for the pizza to come. Will not be ordering fffrom them again, 2 hours for an order to come is ridiculous

Came here on Christmas Eve as always a family tradition. Food was lovely, lots of choice, service was good from a young dark haired lad who was quick to take our order, however the mature gentleman was rude to the young man on several occasions and talking down to him in front of everyone. Not a very good example being set as the young man had not done anything, he just took our order and he was told off for doing so. This was my partners first time here and he didn’t like the attitude the mature guy who I assume is the owner . We visited again on the off chance of been seated between Christmas and new year to give him the benefit of the doubt. However when we asked if they had any tables for two, again the same guy was so rude to us, shoeing us out the door saying no chance we have been booked up for months. Again my partner was disgusted by his attitude and said we won’t be returning to be spoken to in such a rude manor. Such a shame as I have been coming for years and the food is good. Also I have come with big groups of colleagues from the local hospital where I work. Maybe he would benefit from a customer care course?

I honestly dont know why this place is quiet, eight pound for 2 course meal is great value for money, always leave totally stuffed. Biere morrati on tap and really clean. Staff so friendly and attentive.

Olivello helped me out at really short notice when another restaurant cancelled my Boxing Day family booking for twelve people with just three days notice - Olivello fitted us into their busy schedule, and were wonderfully welcoming - all the food was amazing, the atmosphere was brilliant, and we all had a great time - thank you so much! :)

It was a great night out, a lovely atmosphere and staff, will definitely go again

Excellent, shame it hasn't been opened for a while.

Novellos food was beautiful,service was great,food,potato skins are unreal but I left 4 starts because I was asked out by the waiter whilst I'm only 16.

Paid more for the new packaging, less food than before, never used to charge for the chilli beef on the loaded fries now an extra £3.00 on top of what you already pay. Food is lovely but expensive for what you get!!

Ordered parmesan from here last night and the chicken was raw pure filth they seriously need to check Therese orders before it kills someone never again never hope it gets shut down.

The service was good, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, very tasty and well presented, and reasonably priced

Delicious food, great service, quick, very reasonably priced, polite staff. What more do you need?

The best waffles in the town worth the price , such a great place to spend time with your families . I don’t really understand why all this hate coming from girls names towards two young managers ladies who don’t do any thing else than their job , I haven’t seen any language barrier as mentioned by “others” so the barrier might have been from their side , obviously not from the staff and managers 😀

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Food is 10/10 and service was exceptional. I was served by Molly who absolutely amazing and made my experience unbelievably lovely!!! She was very attentive and friendly. I will be returning to try more on this gorgeous menu

Very nice food quality wise plenty too eat arrived early and courier was quite kind overall would recommend
