The best restaurants serving Italian food in Northumberland North East

Great value Sunday dinner 2 courses for £15, meat was lovely and so were the veg. Only £4 extra for a king size. Main menu was also available so that was great for pizzas for the kids. Friendly fast service too, will be back!

Extremely good food with more than enough quantity. Fantastic all round.

Fantastic fish and chips. Big portions, but not cheap. Very tasty.

Had table pre booked for 7pm. Arrived promptly and shown to table. Waited 20 minutes and not even asked for our drinks order. Meanwhile 2 other couples turn up and are seated and orders taken. Got up to leave and was asked what wad wrong. Said we had waited 30.m8nutes and we were met with a sneer. Not good service not good for your reputation.

Waited 1 and a half hours for a seafood pizza when it arrived it was stone cold, unless you order then go and pick it up I wouldn't advise to have it delivered

Lovely friendly attentive staff Meal of spinach & pepper stuffed field mushroom & asparagus/pancetta carbonara was the best meal I’ve had in a long while

Our second visit to this amazing place. If you are looking for superb food at very competitive prices with great service and lovely staff ...this is the place to come. The food here is seriously good... On the special's board as a starter were meatballs on toast with Napoli sauce topped with mozzarella.. I had this as a main course... WOW ..what a superb dish.. I have eaten meatballs all over the world and then I come to newbiggin and in this unassuming rural restaurant I get served the tastiest most delicious meatballs ever. You couldn't make it up.... I hope they read this and put it on their menu full time rather than as an occasional special. If you are a meatball fan you have to visit, might be worth contacting them first and ask for the meatballs. You won't be disappointed.

Well, I'm sad to say that Giannis has really gone down in my estimations. I dined there recently with a fairly large number of friends and was very disappointed. Most of the staff were quite sombre and an atmosphere was non existent, although the food was ok. Towards the end of the night, as there was a large number of us, we were told by the staff to go and pay for our food, individually, at the bar!!!!!! I have never been told to do that at any other restaurant in Morpeth. This is also the first time that I hadn't received a 'bill', strange. Would I go back, NO, there are other more popular Italian restaurants in Morpeth, who would make my myself and my friends feel more welcome, provide us with a bill without us having to queue at the bar to pay individually.

We were welcomed and served straight away, staff were knowledgeable of all the wines, so friendly and professional! Food came quickly and was delicious, great lunch time special offers.

We had been recommended to try this restaurant, so we tried it. Our first indication that this might not have been a good choice was that no one ever came to our table to begin the service! Everything was on us, from ordering drinks, food, dessert menu or the check. We never received any water or were asked if we wanted anything. Now we did see a glimmer of hope from some of the staff, but one waitress seemed like she would rather be somewhere else. It was like it was the first night they had been open and no one knew what to do. Now it was not all bad, as the food was good, plenty of it and at a fair price. Proceed with caution and definitely be assertive with the staff!!!

We booked Rialtos for a joint Xmas party for our staff. This was a table booked for 16. Orders were requested and provided ahead of time. The service was super slick. Every single dish was cooked to perfection and as ordered. We have used this establishment for over 25 years and can honestly say you won’t get better quality food and a great atmosphere. Thank you Sonny and staff. We all had an amazing evening, sorry we were so loud!

Intrigued by Greek/Mediterranean vibe we booked Mambos for an early evening dinner. Reception staff showed us to a table in a largely empty restaurant and we ordered drinks, wine, mains and desserts and coffees afterwards. The waiter / waitress were really friendly and swift. The food was good and served hot, although due to the questionable orange/pink neon lighting, the chicken appeared perfectly no and uncooked. Note: it probably was cooked, only in appearance it was off-putting. Dessert and coffees were also nice. But here is the rub: for the first time in any restaurant on any continent, myself and partner were asked to vacate the table and finish our drinks at the bar while the restaurant remained with many empty seats. Poor management decision! I took back our generous cash tip from the bill wallet before leaving with great disappointment and will never return. Shame on you. You have good efficient people, good food and drink, but poor management decisions do not encourage local return business.

Christmas Dinner was a let down. We went for the 3pm sitting and it was chaos when we arrived. Portions missing and they ran out of key drinks not worth £95!

Always attentive staff, one of the only places you can get Soa milk if you are celiac, lots of places now only offer glutenous oat milks. A little tired, needs a make over for 2025.

Once again a delicious homemade soup and scone. Lively but not loud atmosphere and excellent friendly service. Had already had a smoothie earlier, which was also delicious.
