The best restaurants serving Italian food in South Jesmond Newcastle upon Tyne North East

Our first visit and it certainly wont be our last. In fact thought long and hard about sharing this with everyone as it was so good and dont want to spoil it by making it too popular! Wonderful setting in Heaton Park, great value menu and terrific staff led by Nawfal who was both entertaining and provided great service. Our Sunday lunch was marvellous and at £8.99 was super value for a 3 course meal.

Fabulous fresh food made daily with finest Italian ingredients. Delicious coffee and a lovely owner who is friendly and helpful.

Great service from the moment we entered until we left. Perfect pizza - thin and crispy and amazing garlic bread. We only had lasagne but these were all awesome. Proper Italian lasagne made with fresh pasta and lots of layers. To quote an Italian chef on lasagne; “It’s a celebration of pasta, not sauce” this was just that, I only have praise. We were in Newcastle for the weekend and went here on a Saturday evening, if it was open in the Sunday we’d be going again.

Ordered pizzas twice to collect, the Salciccia & Rapini and Nduja Like Goats Cheese pizzas - both were absolutely delicious, ready on time despite the restaurant itself being incredibly busy, and the staff all seemed happy to be there! Has definitely become my go-to place for pizza in Newcastle, and I'm looking forward to booking a table with some friends and trying the pasta! My only request would be for dipping sauces, although they're easy enough to make at home.

Unfortunately the pizza was poor, it was barely cooked and just very stodgy. Very little cheese also. Expensive meal for which we both didn’t really enjoy. The service was also cold - baring in mind this was a very quiet evening you cannot blame it on them being too busy. As such we won’t be coming again, better pizza restaurants out there.
