The best restaurants serving Italian food in North East

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.

Been to this place a few times as a family of 3 but came as part of a larger group today and could not fault this wonderful pub, the staff are all super friendly and helpful the food is 10/10 and plentyful the portion sizes are huge but so delicious.. the adults in our group all had Sunday lunches which we can not recommend enough and the kids had pasta again must have been delicious as they cleared their plates .. If you are looking for good food in a friendly comfortable place this is the place to.go

Great staff and delicious food!

Hice un pedido por teléfono, la persona que tomó mi pedido me pidió que lo repitiera tres veces debido a tener una conversación con otra persona al mismo tiempo. Llamaron y me dijeron las mujeres clientelares que no paraban de referirse a mí como “cariño” esto es lo que ordené cuando en mi opinión era el orden equivocado que obviamente se disputaba. La comida era muy pobre, evita.

Shabba was a lovely waiter. Super efficient and helpful. Good humour and gave our friend a free shot for her indigestion :)

Had a lovely time, lovely food and staff were amazing. Shout out to Maddy for making us feel very welcome ⭐️

First Time we have used this restaurant for a take away pizza, excellent staff service and very good pizza also, would recommend this establishment.

Disgusting Takeaway. Found clumps of dirty hair in the kebab, the whole family was put off from eating there food, the company owner refused to give us a full refund and said it didn't come from there which they know is a total lie. The owner from the start was rude and said at one stage 'its always new customers like you that complain'.

The food was extremely nice with quick service and friendly staff. The atmosphere was quite nice even though it was quiet at the time of the visit. Our server Kayleigh let us have extra toppings on our desserts.

Triple cheese burger came with cheese spillage over paper not on the burgers . No salad on any of the burgers ordered.

We stayed here with friends for a short break. The welcome was warm, friendly and professional. The Warkworth suite was spacious,not particularly modern but entirely suitable for us and clean. The toilet flush handle loosened which I sorted easily. A seat for the desk would be good. However, we were entirely comfortable. The managers and staff of the restaurant and bar were exceptional. They were warm, friendly and really went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Kaitlyn and her colleagues helped us celebrate my birthday and our friends anniversary with cards, balloons etc making the events unforgettable. We will definitely return, hopefully soon. We'll done and thank you all very much.

Lovely food and great service. Cakes are delicious and the panini was amazing. Thanks Peter

Quick service and enjoyed the food that we had,reasonably priced too,with a good portion.

La comida era buena una cantidad decente de comida por el precio Me fui por el menú especial de 2 platos al sur el entrante de pudín negro que salió tan rápido, seguido por el risotto de porcini esto era delicioso pero muy rico, ahora mientras que la comida era buena el joven en la barra estaba a la par, tomó órdenes sin embargo tomó tanto tiempo para entender que queríamos pagar por nuestra comida separada y no abrir una pestaña, pregunté y pagué por una bebida sin embargo luego comenzó a tomar la siguiente orden sin servir la mía Tuve que pedir que lo ordenara, que era un poco extraño. Todavía volveré como disfruté de la comida y el ambiente, solo espero que una persona diferente del bar trabaje la próxima vez

We had a great dinner, food was delicious. Thoroughly recommend the hanging chicken! Waitresses very friendly and professional. Lovely decor and atmosphere- will definitely be back!
