The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

friendly staff and amazing food!

Mi esposa y yo hemos visitado Pizzastorm varias veces y realmente disfrutamos de una pizza rápida, de calidad superior.La pizza de pepperoni es genial. Las cuñas cargadas eran tal vez un poco demasiado para nosotros, pero una delicia.Todo tiene un precio razonable también, ¿qué no le gusta?

I have a chicken vindaloo every time I visit it an Indian restaurant and this was the worst I’ve had in a longtime. It was hard to eat the chicken as it was extremely chewy also there was very little sauce with the curry. This restaurant is very poor and does not live up to its reviews!

What a place! We were upgraded to a gorgeous suite, nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful breakfast, fridge with fresh milk and mineral water, wonderful Italian breakfast including steak and eggs, very generous with the coffee and juice and even offered me a latte in my travel cup the day we left. Great local recommendations. We also ate dinner one night, absolutely lovely! Easy walk to all the sights and parking on site is a real bonus

My favourite local restaurant never disappoints. Wonderful service and food as always. We went for the early bird deal, an absolute bargain for big, tasty platefuls of food! Peter is a fantastic host alognwith a team of friendly, helpful staff. Food was gorgeous as ever.

We were invited by friends as a birthday treat who had been before a few times and had recommended it to us. The decor is very nice, well laid out and can feel a little cramped but that could just be me, so could also be described as cosy. The food was good, nothing special just typical italian fare, don't get me wrong, this is a busy restaurant, which given the manners of one member of staff/owner is surprising. A mix between tetchy and rude could be a way of describing him, which is a shame as the rest of the staff were approachable and friendly, shame they weren't front of house instead.

I did do a 5 star review but today I changed it as I had an awful experience with this shop today the owner was so rude. The tone he spoke to me infront of my husband was absolutely degrading. Don’t get me wrong the food is lovely but I couldn’t possibly go back there. This owner shouldn’t be aloud to communicate with customers he’s disrespectful and down right rude. The lady is so polite and welcoming and worth a 5 star deffinatly but the owner lets the whole place down.

Was going to meet friends for a Sunday lunch here but two of our party are vegetarian and the veggie option is just the meat option without the meat. Went somewhere else instead. Not great. Would be nice to have a Veggie Wellington or nut roast option available. Veggie options are often overlooked here in Barney which is sad in this day and age. Have started going further afield which is a shame if you are trying to support some lovely local businesses . Would love to visit on a Sunday in the future if a tweak could be made to welcome more vegetarians.

I’ve been ordering from here for the last few months as it’s the best takeaway in Seaham, food is cooked to perfection & staff are very friendly, they have given me free food to try while in the shop & it’s all been very tasty…

Ordered tonight for the first and last time, my pizza or so called was a disgrace bottom was inedible and covered in some sort of white slime ,there were 5 pieces of ham smaller than a postage stamp and possibly 1 mushroom inside to day it was disgusting is polite £22.00 for that my partner managed slightly more than me which doesn’t say much, I save to occasionally have a takeaway from my disability and it was vile

Delicious, hot, on time. Perfect!

Beautiful meal, and fantastic service 👌
