Top quality Sardinian cooking in a small restaurant tucked away in North Shields town centre. Highlight of this trip was an octopus and potato salad that I can't stop thinking about! Pizzas and pastas are absolutely lush. The restaurant is BYOB with no corkage which is also a plus. Also very child friendly. A lovely mix of people whenever we have visited, the staff are excellent and very welcoming.
Really friendly and welcoming staff. I was surprised it was full on a Wednesday evening. It obviously had it's regulars. I'd personally prefer more choice in pizza, particularly meaty ones. But, the food was lovely. They don't have a liqueur licence so everyone brings their own beer and wine. There's an off licence along the road which had a decent assortment should you need anything.
Incredible authentic tasty Italian food. Excellent personal service. Best Italian at the coast by miles.
Update: Just had the prawns, mussels, mushrooms, lasagna and pizza.
And they made amazing gluten free pasta for my daughter.
Outstanding
We went here for breakfast. I asked for bacon sandwich, well done. It was lovely. The bread was amazing. Staff were brilliant, very attentive but not too much. We were the only ones in, so atmosphere was disappointing, but not their fault. Would definitely go again x
Food is amazing, I only had pizza, but it was the lightest dough base I've ever had and incredibly tasty. The pasta on the table next to us was freshly made and also very good (I was reliably informed 😊). Friendly place and busy! Oh, and it's BYO Bring Your Own (wine/lager/whatever's your tipple), so it's incredibly good value! We didn't realise, so I had to make a quick dash across the road to the Offy! I'm glad that was there 🤣🙏 Would go again.
Cafe by day, really decent and GVFM restaurant by night. Hand made pasta using local ingredients where possible. I had a brilliant nudja and kipper (yes, kipper) pasta that worked really well. It's also BYOB with a reasonable corkage price. The staff are also really helpful. Get some!
Had lunch here - the pizza was delicious and we did not have much of a wait 😋 the lady serving was really attentive. Coffee was lovely- not too strong. And i took some cannoli away with me- which was also delicious!! Would recommend trying here
The food is exceptional and the service excellent. It's a basic cafe layout, nothing fancy, but pleasant to be in. It isn't licensed, so take your own drink. This place is a little pearl in the middle of a tired looking North Shields. Plenty of parking outside, too.
A first time visit to this small, unpretentious Italian restaurant in the heart of North Shields. The service was excellent and matched by the very good and authentic Italian food. Combined with the BYO bottle policy, what a find! We'll be back as soon as we can.
I’m from Montreal (we pride ourselves on good italian good) and was visiting my family in Tynemouth and they suggested we go to this small restaurant. I was skeptical at first. Boy was I wrong. VERY wrong. This is some of the best Italian food I have ever had in my life, from the foccacia starters all the way to my Caccio y pepe. 100% worth the detour. The service was also top tier and incredibly quick for two waiters. They should be proud of running such a fine establishment.
