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!

Booked a table for 6 of us today 25.05.25 my 3rd visit and 1st visit for my family. Fabulous food great staff excellent service . The whole family enjoyed it the food was enjoyable and plentiful . Highly recommended 10 out of 10 ! My son is a vegetarian and plenty of options for him ...all very happy customers

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.

I popped in after work and their olives and bread were just perfect. That little visit turned into a highlight of my day. I’ll definitely be stopping in more often.

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.

We are trying to visit every week. Whether it be for Sunday Lunch or a Special Occassion. Every meal I have has was delicious, and the service is second to none. Tonight I tried the specials menu of Duck Confit with Hoisin Sauce on Flatbread which was to die for. You are missing out if you don't pay them a visit at least once!!

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

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

This used to be a brilliant restaurant. But sorry to say it's gone downhill. We were a family of 6 with a baby and tried to sit us right in the sun. In the end, they put us right out the way in a corner away from everyone. For a start, it was dead for a Thursday night, and the food (steak) was poor and had to be returned. Here's a few tips. 1. Make people feel welcome. Chat and have some rapport with your customers. 2. Get your order correct so it all arrives. 3. Train your staff. Don't stretch over to put down food or put out drinks. 4. Respond to requests. 5. Have some background music on so it has an atmosphere other than a grave yard. Sorry to say we won't be back until we heard better reviews.
