The best restaurants serving Italian food in Northumberland North East

A fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant. The welcome, the food, and the wine are always excellent. Whenever we are going out for a special occasion, this is our first choice. Great value too!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Gammon was lush and the veg was cooked perfectly. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Large portion and reasonably priced. Best Sunday lunch i’ve had in ages.

AMAZINGGGGG, best restaurant I have ever been to! Would defo recommend and will return. Spag Bol is amaze, dad loved limoncello

Fantastic fish and chips. Big portions, but not cheap. Very tasty.

One of the very best eateries in the area! Amazing mussels, fillet steak to die for!!!!! And the staff are all so professional. Faultless.

My partner and I often eat out especially on Sunday, we try many places for Sunday lunch, we decided to try Giannis as we’ve seen it advertised on social media- the Sunday lunch was the best we’ve had in a long time and would recommend it , the service was exceptional, we’ll definitely be back to try there full menu

We had been recommended to try this restaurant, so we tried it. Our first indication that this might not have been a good choice was that no one ever came to our table to begin the service! Everything was on us, from ordering drinks, food, dessert menu or the check. We never received any water or were asked if we wanted anything. Now we did see a glimmer of hope from some of the staff, but one waitress seemed like she would rather be somewhere else. It was like it was the first night they had been open and no one knew what to do. Now it was not all bad, as the food was good, plenty of it and at a fair price. Proceed with caution and definitely be assertive with the staff!!!

Always attentive staff, one of the only places you can get Soa milk if you are celiac, lots of places now only offer glutenous oat milks. A little tired, needs a make over for 2025.

We were staying at the Diamond Inn across the road and called in for dinner. As an Italian restaurant you expect brisk but efficient service and certainly our order was taken quickly. Time for delivery of food was far too long however. My first course (soup) was just fine but I found the main somewhat bland. Not a bad experience but certainly not warrenting four stars.

Once again a delicious homemade soup and scone. Lively but not loud atmosphere and excellent friendly service. Had already had a smoothie earlier, which was also delicious.

I held a party for my husband's 40th at the Olive Tree and it was such a good choice. They were really accommodating with the food we wanted and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend if you want somewhere to host a party!

Waited 1 and a half hours for a seafood pizza when it arrived it was stone cold, unless you order then go and pick it up I wouldn't advise to have it delivered

We visited for dinner. The new souvlaki skewers changed my perspective on grilled meat. Service felt casual, prices were fair. Kids enjoyed pizza too.

Disappointing, been several times but it was very poor today. Had to return the veg as it was cold, roast chicken was tasteless and seem more boiled than roasted. Roast potatoes were under cooked and fried not actually roasted. Lamb gravy served with chicken a definitely a no no. Raised the issue and they changed the veg but no apology. Don't think we'll return.

Been to this place a few times as a family of 3 but came as part of a larger group today and could not fault this wonderful pub, the staff are all super friendly and helpful the food is 10/10 and plentyful the portion sizes are huge but so delicious.. the adults in our group all had Sunday lunches which we can not recommend enough and the kids had pasta again must have been delicious as they cleared their plates .. If you are looking for good food in a friendly comfortable place this is the place to.go
