The best restaurants serving Italian food in Simonside and Rekendyke South Tyneside North East

Gallo Nero is firmly on our treat nights list and has been for a while. Penne Bolognese and a meat feast pizza with skinny chips. Delivery was quick and food hot. Enough for two meals and money off, win win.

We’ve found Italian takeaways lack a variety unless you want pizzas. With this in mind we revisited Gallo Neros menu on an eats app. They have a lot of other Italian meals listed so we went for Fajita Alforno and Kapsalon to share. The delivery was on time and hot, ready to eat. I ate mine straight away and it was tasty, but there was something missing in the overall taste for me. My husband said a similar thing, he enjoyed it but would try something different if we order again.

We held mother in law funeral wake here.Chips were freezing,poor service at bar,long wait,glasses not collected guests were clearing tables,celabratery drink not on time.Mens toilet atrocious ,no roll holder ,floors soaking wet obviously not being attended enough to clean.I used to go when it was simonside arms,better then give it a miss....keith wilkinson
