The best restaurants serving Italian food in Stockton-on-Tees North East

Lovely food. Great service. Friendly locals. Lovely decor. Great deli food for sale. Opened early.

Love the support I get at this place!!

Was lucky to stumble across this place a few years ago and was thankfully in the area once again. No place like it and no chef like Mr R. Made to order food and an opinion on any subject matter is fully included at any point of your visit 😀

Visited for an informal business meeting. Sadly no decaf coffee available, WiFi very slow and mobile connection pretty much non existent. 3 hours max stay as non-residents and you must put your car reg in at reception. Honestly not that welcoming, though it was clean and clearly well used by office tenants. Not sure how to respond to the response left by the owner, so I'm editing here instead. Definitely your place we visited, and at shortly after 10.15am this morning I was told there was no decaf available.

Burgers awesome, best burger joint in stockton Friendly staff - reasonable priced and food arrived pipping hot

Excellent all around, great and delicious Persian and Mediterranean cuisines, wonderful deserts, coffee and tea ...👍👌🌟😋

Visited for dinner between Christmas and new year. I am vegan and had plenty to choose from. Had bruschetta to start and the vegan pizza for main, both were very high quality. Nice wine selection. Staff were attentive and very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. Have been many times and will definitely return.

Amazing little Italian. Service is friendly and efficient. Thank you to Alina who looked after us. Nothing too much trouble. Best bruchetta I have ever had, all our meals were home cooked with flavour a plenty. Well priced. Will be back soon. FY1 only cash for tips as this can't be taken by card, sorry we will give a good tip next time.

Be aware that if you make a reservation online and they are already fully booked you don’t get notification. Very disappointed. Sorry but I didn’t hang up on you, the call ended in mid conversation and I presumed that that you had ended the call. I was trying to rearrange my booking time

Caruso's s is a hidden gem! 💯♥️👌 (Easy to pass on by, if you dont use Google Maps) I recommend you use Facebook or Google Maps or TripAdvisor to get directions We would also recommend that you go as soon as possible for an evening meal!! 😉 The atmosphere is fantastic with a warm smile as a welcome from THE most fantastic hosts including Antonio and Rocco Linardi (The Owner) I understand that this restaurant is rated The No.1 Italian Restaurant in the UK, on trip adviser, And after having dinner here; I can tell you that I agree but this rating ! The food is classically Italian with traditional recipes and flavours There is a Mediterranean theme with plenty of choice, Including seafood, Shellfish, Classic Italian pastas & pizzas, And the most delicious Fillet steak Rossini I've ever eaten (awsome sauce) Fran had the potato skins and Garlic Mayo which she says was delicious, Followed by tagliatelli carbonara I was feeling hungry so I had bruchetta, And the Cozze Rooco ( Mussels in a tomato and chili sauce (Yum)) From a main I had Fillet Steak Rossini with salad and the most beautiful triple cooked chips I've eaten in a while. Rocco loves Families enjoying his food and hospitality, so there is an early bird offer menu, as well as another A la Carte menu with a great choice for all. Interestingly Rocco has Travelled all over the world as a waiter Maitre Dee (?? Like Fred on TV , but more experienced and quieter 🤣) host and guest greeter. He has therefore picked up a fountain of knowledge about customer preference and what customers really want to need. Multi Bueno ...... Mamma Mia !! All in all THE BEST NIGHT FOR YEARS!

Me and my friends visited La Porto Norton for Lunch yesterday and it was delicious. The service and food was excellent. We will most definitely be back to try the breakfast menu!

No cream for coffee. No fruit for granola. No brown bread for toast. Someone went to the shop for supplies which was admirable but it meant that our coffee was cold by the time we got our breakfast.

Fabulous Baby Shower at the Deli. Thank you so much. The food was fantastic such a variety and the cakes. Wow. Thank you for letting us take over and decorate the place as well hope we didn't cause too much chaos. Cannot recommend you enough A perfect evening. Patti

Slow slow slow !! 2 staff members serving booking people in taking orders bringing out food, drinks and clearing. Service was very slow some meals were brought out then they started showing other customers to their seats while half of our party were still waiting for their meals. The first meals were nearly finished by the time the last ones came out. Disappointed and will not be returning.

Gorgeous chicken kebab swift delivery and nice and hot
