The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

Food excellent - service spot on . Only fault room was very cold

From the first moment when I stepped into the restaurant, I was deeply impressed by the atmosphere in the room, and the friendly and kind staff, the divine food, I felt exactly like in Italy, the chef Zia was excellent, although I had some special requirements, the menu was delivered exactly as I wanted it for both myself and my children. RECOMMEND WITH CONFIDENCE. Unfortunately I can't give more stars, if it were up to me, I would give 10+.

Great Italian. We went Sunday evening and we had two friendly and attentive staff members. We had bruschetta, potato skins and olives (starter); and pizza, meatballs and arrabiatta and vegetable lasagne. It was all fab and a bottle of Valpolicello Ripasso complemented the food. Highly recommended and not far from Crowne Plaza where we were staying.

Olivia’s energy make the food, the experience, the vibe worth a million next visit. Thanks Olivia for being so kind and absolutely enjoyed the meal recommendations. It must be tiring, but I can see you’re giving it your all and that definitely made this restaurant my top choice from now on. Hope you enjoy your weekend like you made ours ;) !

Starters were nice, main course was made with fresh pasta but the prawn linguine was too sweet for my taste and not a lot of kick. Prawns were cooked beautifully but overall a little disappointing.

Quality fresh breakfast on a cold day

Shabba saves this place. We’ve been when he’s not in and it is a disaster! We had red wine in champagne glasses, decaf coffee with no coffee…. Mugs of hot milk. Tonight he’s in and it’s fab again. Impeccable customer service and we got what we wanted (even if you’ve taken calabrese off the menu for no explicable reason). Seriously why is there no way to tip an individual or send messages to management about how good a staff member is because I’m not joking. He is why we go back!

Just moved up from London and live 2 mins walk from Angelo's. Been here 3 times and can say the food is fantastic the staff are first class and we just love the place. Had Sunday lunch today and didn't disappoint. We feel very lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep. We are being friends who are visiting in Dec and can't wait to show our local restaurant off.

Flat white coffee was okay. There are seatings in the back shared between neighboring restaurants. Thank you

Have been coming here on/off for months. The food is really good. There is however, often a long wait for it, partly due to things being cooked to order and possibly because there's only one member of staff taking orders and managing the bar. Fine if there's one or two tables in, but not if it gets busier. Not sure if the staff/client ratio changes later in the evening as always go early.

The pizza had no taste, ordered tikka pizza . This wasnt a tikka pizza at all, the peices of chicken were tiny you could hardly see or taste them.

Super fast service. Good tasty food.

India was incredible! Food was amazing too! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian food in the area!

Food was decent nothing special 50 people rimmed into a small room shoulder to shoulder with the table beside you unbelievably loud couldn't hear your self think never mind have a conversation

Wasn’t overly impressed with the food , the chips were hard and dry , Parmesan was ok but not very big
