The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

Best takeaway place in teesside as far as I'm concerned, never had a bad experience from Pavs in my 16 years of using this place. The food is amazing with large portions of near enough everything and the prices are not bad either, only thing I could think of changing would be to swap the 14" family size pizza option to 16" but that's just me being greedy 😜

This is the best Deli anywhere!!!!!!!! and they play Jazz yeah. Great coffee, great atmosphere just great. Always call in when we shop in Yarm that's if we can get a seat it's well loved.

Both the food and service were excellent. From initially walking in we were made to feel very welcome. The choice of menu was very good and the staff took the time to give recommendations.

I often call in here, best cuppachino in town!...great sandwiches, authentic Mediterranean atmosphere...

My first time at this italians and it was amazing ....i had the arincini and my partner had the prawn cocktail both very good , mains i had meatball tagliatelle which was piping hot and very filling my partner had the sunday roast which she chose lamb as there was no beef left she said her lunch was nice ...I'd defo return ..the girl serving was so polite and nothing was too much trouble .

We chanced upon Mario's on Valentine's. We didn't have a reservation but still got a table- it was nicely busy. The food was excellent with great veggie options. Had a lovely chat to Mario who was really friendly and welcoming. And it was reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

Authentic family run restaurant with nice Italian atmosphere. Good menu all freshly cooked. This is our 3rd visit and we will be back next time we visit Southport. PS Free parking.

We had a very nice evening. Food is great. And staff very friendly. First time here and really enjoyed.

First time at Mamma Mia and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and polite. We will definitely be back.

Excellent food and ambience. Attentive staff and value for money. Went with friends but will definitely be taking the family. The calzone was top drawer. Well done Sal and team

The best carbonara I’ve ever had. All meals lovely and friendly staff. Pizza dough cooked to perfection

Another good pepperoni and garlic bread pizza from here on 15/10.

It was a lovely place and the food was perfect! I had the Pasta Valute from the special menu and it was the best pasta I have ever tried. The stuff was friendly and helpful at everything we needed, especially Aldo! You should definitely try this!!

We ordered a take away for delivery, and ordered it to be delivered at 8pm as we were due home just before then. Just eat then said it was was delayed until 9:20pm so we knew we had plenty of time. I received a call at 6:20pm saying they were outside. I apologised and said it was ordered for 8pm, we are not there to collect it. The driver apologised and said he would sort it. At around 8:15pm I rang up just to confirm that the food was still coming and a young girl answered and said she would find out. Suddenly a very rude and angry man came on the phone, he did not say who he was, and started actually shouting at me down the phone for refusing the order. I tried to explain the problem but he would not let me get a word in. He said on his end it did not say 8pm but I had the app open and it said 8pm on my end. I even tried to say it may be a just eat error but he would not listen. He was extremely aggressive. I asked to speak to someone less unpleasant so he put the young girl back on the phone, who was full of apologies and incredibly helpful. So I would like to thank her and point out how good she was considering how aggressive and unprofessional her colleague was. When the food was delivered the driver was lovely, and he did show the ticket that said 6:55pm (still later than they actually tried the first time) but I explained that I had triple checked and the app said 8pm. I absolutely think this was a just eat error and did not bother me in the slightest, these things happen. This review is based on the vile behaviour of one of the staff. This is the first time I've ever left a negative review for anything because I was so appalled by the way in which he spoke to me. We order from here regularly and enjoy the food, so I really hope the establishment get rid of this awful employee.

Went for Sunday lunch superb value for money for a thee course meal, both the beef and belly pork was excellent and the home made cheesecake’s are really good
