The best restaurants serving Italian food in Northumberland North East

We had a very pleasant lunch in the bistro which has fairly recently been redecorated and refurbished, and is now elegant and welcoming. Service was excellent and the food also very good. They have a choice of vegetarian meals which is great. We had a sandwich of avocado and humus with salad and fries and it was really fresh. We were also tempted by the bean chili so will have that next time. This is a very pleasant place for a casual lunch in good surroundings.

Quick service and enjoyed the food that we had,reasonably priced too,with a good portion.

Stayed in Berwick at the weekend and saw this restaurant nearly next door to the hotel. It was a Saturday evening and we didn't book. Walked in and they said they'd get a table for us so we sat in the bar. It didn't take long to get a table in a cosy corner of the restaurant. The restaurant and bar were lovely, nice vibe to the place. Staff were smiley and pleasant and made the experience enjoyable. Cocktails were amazing and food was nice. Surprised by the bill price, was expecting it to be more expensive. Definitely worth going for anyone staying in Berwick, we'd go again.

Been here whit the family this place is amazing I see the reviews how can people complain for pizza pasta 9.95 and lunch special for £8.95 guys is my first visit to sambucas but if all of them they are as this one’s I will never cook in the house ..!! And the staff …they try to please everyone bless them …!

Popped in for a meal never expected the delicious food that i got served with the best service that i have ever experienced in a restaurant so far. All staff were excellent, very lively, polite and responsive with the customers needs. Definitely recommend this place for anyone a nice meal out.

The absolute best ice cream that has ever existed. Every time I’m back in Newcastle I have to go get this ice cream because it is just so delicious. Got there as the shop was about to close and the lovely lady behind the till let us get served which I really appreciated. 10/10 shop.

Fantastic smoked pizza’s prepared while you wait, all fresh produce. A bit on the expensive side but well worth the extra cost

I spent this afternoon at The Courtyard with some friends. We enjoyed some tasty snacks, wine and hot drinks. The staff and atmosphere were perfect !

“Best tomato I’ve ever had.” Very lovely food. We had 3 steaks cooked to perfection and chicken pesto parpadelle. Definitely recommend!

A recently opened Italian restaurant in Blyth. Unfortunately, the street and surrounding area is in disarray due to road/ground works and area improvement works, making access difficult at times. Was previously called ‘Tudor Café’. Really, this is now a takeaway establishment with seating. Once established, it may offer regular café style food. Plus points – ground floor access, pizza’s fresh and ‘home made’, close to town centre, cheerful staff, coffee is good, evening deliveries, on phone or ‘Blyth Eats’ app. (‘Just Eat’ app shortly, maybe) Minus points – no high chairs, very limited menu, no children’s options, not licensed, lack of ventilation, so considerable cooking smells,
