The best restaurants serving Italian food in South Tyneside North East

Came in for a work meeting. service was excellent, especially by Liam. Food was quality. Would recommend highly, as it’s so warming inside

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.

The premises used to be a typical old fashioned fish and chip shop when I was a child, so it was nice to try the new version called Shergills. The menu now is massive to suit all types of tastes now (pizzas, kebabs etc weren’t available when I was a child.) We ordered using their own site and it kept us informed of its progress via email. The fish, chips and battered sausage arrived quickly and hot. The amount of chips sometimes doesn’t mean they’re nice but we loved these chips. We’d asked for salt and vinegar and batter in the anything to add box on their website, but they mustn’t have read it. I loved the fish, bright white and tasty but wasn’t a lover of the batter.

The pizza order was made fresh whilst we waited and we didn’t wait too long. There are seats to sit. The shop was clean. There were cold drinks in the fridge. The staff were friendly and happy to tell you what offers were available and what the best deal was. We will return.

A party of 20 for a special birthday family celebration. Booked in advance. Sent orders in advance. What a shambles. Service was slow and poor, food came out with long periods between each diners meal resulting in some sitting for ages waiting for their food whilst others finished theirs. . Food was awful except pizzas and garlic breads and salad. Manager was uncooperative when discussing issues. When food was sent back it was recooked not replaced. Atmosphere was flat. Not recommended.

Collected my order & staff were very helpful and assisted me promptly. Food was delicious & very well priced: will most certainly be back :) Thankyou

Well where do I start. After playing pool match in Boldon we got back to the Ben Lomond to late. Being hungry my, well known mate, and I, went to this establishment. My friend who actually worked on their set up and comes in to engineering problems said he's my mate look after him. I wasn't expecting anything but when I asked for salad with my mixed kebab and garlic comments were passed as a joke even the responsible lad behind the bar of the place joking with my mate and taking £1 off. Ok nothing to worry about eh? Having ordered the mixed kebab, I was asked do you want onions and peppers, my reply yes. Why? Because it's part of the order!!!! So watching the same responsible person putting two pincers of kebab meet into a silver food tray meant nothing to me, until I got home. Opening up a tray the same I realised that it was indeed what I'd seen filled with extras of onion and pepper before the other meat. Why was I asked about this and if I'd said no would the poor portion have been better. The fact there was two pitta made no difference to me, one was enough, they didn't ask me about that and change or add more elsewhere. Opening further I found the salad, normal and expected until the sauce. The sauce they and my mate had joked about wasn't garlic but chilli. Even the fact that they'd joked about the order they couldn't get it right. I didn't expect to get any special service but my mate who has done so much for them just wanted them to respect his request. I care that he hasn't had the response he hoped for but even worse for me, STANDING IN THE SHOP PLACING AN ORDER, AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT. Spoilt my meal and night.

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

…. And very impressed. A table for five midweek and we all chose the 3 course menu as that was what was available at lunchtime. The staff were polite, efficient and asked how our meals were. All of us enjoyed the potato skins starter, two different pasta dishes and three different pizzas for mains and ice cream or coffee for dessert. Great tastes and thumbs up for us all. Would go back.

pizza is unreal and it’s great that you get chips along with every pizza you buy! one of the best places for a takeaway for sure.

Waited 1 hour 40 minutes for delivery and the shop never bothered to call to let us know it would be that late. Just eat said 1 hour but it was way longer than that. The shop in the long run will just loose money as people won’t re order. They obviously either need more staff or to be better at updating just eat delivery times. It was a pay weekend they got my money but they didn’t even offer a partial refund for it being so late so In the end they got my money but lost me as a customer. Plus the pizza had pepperoni on it when it wasn’t supposed to. If I order from dominos or Balti masters it takes like 30 minutes cause they obviously have more drivers working.

Without doubt the worst service I have ever encountered in a restaurant. Condescending attitude and the server watched over the table like a owl as we were the only people in (not surprising). Had the worst garlic mushroom starter ever encountered followed by a a pasta which was like hunt the chicken. All of the meals were poor with little meat and lots of sauce. When we complained we were told that a breast of chicken was used per two meals - no chance. Would never return.

We had a few drinks in this fairly basic pub and ordered up a doggy sausage for our canine companion. Lots of water for pooches. We sat at a table out back in the sun and enjoyed the early evening sunshine after a long walk around the coast. We’d been in a different pub earlier in the afternoon and four similar drinks here came in at a competitive price yet the other place was full and this one quite empty. The staff were pleasant and they took credit card payment. We would return.

Great Sunday Cavery; Good price and lots of food... the two meat meal was good value. Great Bar staff as well and very helpfull
