The best restaurants serving Italian food in North Tyneside North East

Great little spot with lovely food and great service, would recommend as one of the best eats i've tried so far in north shields. Will be back with a bottle of wine next time since it's BYOB

Have used The Kitchen many times but tried the Sunday Lunch for the first time last weekend. As we live near we collected rather than use the delivery service. The meals were cooked to perfection, nice and hot, fresh veg, crispy Yorkies and loads of meat, we had one chicken meal and one beef meal. Meat was tasty and lean. We were very impressed and will definitely be using again for Sunday Lunch

Really lovely meal. Friendly staff and excellent food. Couldn't hope for better.

Loved IT. Great food and service at a good price. Enjoyed the food and the cocktails. So good we went back the next night.

Popped in for a coffee and ice cream for the kids, landed up ordering a pizza too. Service was brilliant, nothing too much for the team working today. Canoli was stunning, ice creams rich and full of flavour and the coffee was phenomenal. But the icing on the cake was the pizza. A spontaneous purchase for the family to share, I don't think I've ever had a pizza so fresh and so well balanced with flavours. Definitely not to be missed

Lovely lunch, very reasonably priced, very close to the beach. Staff were all great. Big portions too

Authentic family run restaurant with nice Italian atmosphere. Good menu all freshly cooked. This is our 3rd visit and we will be back next time we visit Southport. PS Free parking.

4 of us visited this small, but welcoming restaurant , part of the Dorset Arms Hotel.The food was well prepared and presented by our lovely waitress ( Rebecca). The service was good and the price very reasonable. A very good house white wine complemented the Chicken dishes. Well worth a visit, we will certainly return in the future.

Nice price, nice food, not a single complaint. I got lucifera pizza and my partner got Arrabiatta pasta. Absolutely spot on!

Came as a large group and were seated before opening. We were then left for ages before someone came to take our orders. Drinks order was incorrect and we had to ask for water for an elderly and disabled member of the party three times. When the food arrived it was decent (I lived in Italy for 8 years and even I thought some dishes were authentic). Now the main problem is that every time I have come here since it opened there have always been discrepancies on the bill, we are always overcharged/items added. There never seems to be an apology made about this either. Check your bill carefully at this place.

Beautiful food . Went as a group of 11 for a birthday. Some of the group had starters which were very generous portions we only had a main which again was very plentiful. I had the seafood linguine, huge king prawns,calamari,mussels and shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Already looking forward to our next visit

Just had an amazing Xmas lunch here with family, I have to say it was excellent from start to finish. We had the 4oclock sitting and everything was perfect, the staff are friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and plentiful and the drinks were reasonably priced. It’s our second Xmas day here and we’ll be back next year… well done to the hardworking chef and staff.

Aways a great atmosphere here. Food perfect every time and staff friendly

Average food, ok if you want nothing special

Very happy about lunch today. We tried king prawns in tomato and chilli sauce, followed by honey chicken special and chicken cordon bleu. Squeezed in a shared portion of tiramisu. Delighted today. Lovely staff too.
