I love Joe Rigatonis and this one is no exception! Definitely go in Happy Hour as the price for…read morefood is so much better. This Joe Rigatonis is a little out of the main Redcar, if you park at Morrisons (sadly all parking everywhere you have to pay in Redcar) and then go to the road with the railway on, turn right and then take the next major road on the left and it should be down there. It's small as far as other Joe Rigatonis go, but it still has that gorgeous ambience about it. The staff are lovely and the happy hour is definitely worth every penny. One thing I think to check is whether or not drinks are refillable, they are at so many places nowadays, you presume they are everywhere else and I have a feeling they're not at Joe Rigatonis. Anyway I would definitely recommend any pizza dish because Joe Rigatonis really do do some of the best pizza I've ever tasted. The staff are all really polite and another thing, the cocktails here are gorgeous! Pricing is expensive and I suppose thats why I don't go that often but if I do I always love every moment of it.

My starter of Mussels in Spicy Tomato sauce was lush with just the right ratio of onions to spice and a really good portion of Mussels. Main course size, in fact. My main of stuffed Rabbit saddle, Wood Pigeon breast & Italian sausage on Polenta & gravy was cooked to perfection, really nice with good, strong flavours. And once again a really decent helping. The espresso & Amaretto topped ice cream was a great finish too. Our waitress (the owner, I think) was a mature, welcoming lady who was nice to speak with and knowledgeable about the menu. We used our Hi-ife card and would return anytime we're up that way. Bob On!

I have been to Eliano's Brasseria a few times now and each time I go I am satisfied with both the…read morefood and the high level of customer service that I receive. Although the inside of the building is not the classiest or even most chic decorated I have ever seen there is still a nice feeling of a warming atmosphere. We wee seated almost immediately and out drinks arrive several minutes after, at times it does get quite busy so if you are in a party I would strongly recommend booking a table otherwise you might be stood waiting for a while. Many other restaurants that I have been to don't offer authentic Italian food, I ordered the lasagne and I absolutely loved it and if I go again I'm certain this is what I will order. Surprisingly the food is quite reasonably priced. Definitely another one to visit

The menu didn't have a huge variety but I find that usually a good thing as gives more concentration and focus on dishes. I had enjoyed some mussels the other night so had them as a main here and my partner ordered a chicken wrapped in ham. To supplement this a house salad was ordered. The food did take a while to arrive but I thoroughly enjoyed mine but glancing at partner's it did look uninspiring and dry. Jealously we glanced at a lady who had ordered and epic looking pasta dish which she exclKmed was the best thing she had eaten in a long time lol I really think it is sometimes pot luck aka on what you order. The ice cream to finish was lovely in kinder, strawberry and vanilla. Overall nice atmosphere but could feel the staff under pressure .

Having had our previous restaurant booking cancelled due to 'technical difficulties' at short…read morenotice, we knew we had limited time to find a restaurant on a sun-kissed, hugely busy bank holiday in Whitby. Thankfully we happened on Cosa Nostra, a large multilevelled Italian restaurant on Church Street and they had a table free! Shown to the upper levels of the restaurant, it was a good place to relax away from the hustle and bustle on a busy May evening. The menu had a decent variety of traditional and more unusual dishes from pizza to pasta, fish dishes to calzone. Not feeling at our most ravenous, we opted for two standard dishes, linguini carbonara and linguini ragu, washed down with a pint of draught Peroni, accompanied by some garlic bread. When the dishes arrived, wow, the portions are enormous at this place! Two large bowls of pasta and a generous pizza sized portion of thin crust garlic bread. The carbonara was spot on, the creaminess of the sauce contrasted perfectly with the saltiness of the bacon, the garlic bread heavy on the garlic, as it should be and the ragu full of earthy tomato flavours. Gamely though we tried, we couldn't finish any of the components, as we both were just recovering from a cold. The head waiter was so concerned with our lack of progress, he offered to pack us up a doggy bag! Reassuring him the food was spot on, we vowed to return when our appetites renewed.

The food I think is very expensive for what it is. Although it does taste quite nice a lasagne cost around £9.50 for a small portion. The service was ok, it came quite quickly but they were quite slow in taking plates away and clearing up.A nice touch is if you are going for someones birthday you can bring and cake and give it them and they bring it out with the lights dipped singing for you. Embarrassing for the birthday person but funny for the rest of party.

It may also be advisable to make an advance booking as it can get quite full. It's very small inside and the tables are close together. The wait for food literally depends on your party size. We went with quite a large party and found ourselves waiting quite a while. The food is really good quality though a little pricy. There's a big array of pizzas and pastas and other italian foods. The desserts are nice though the choice of ice cream for children is very limited. The staff are really nice here and polite. Generally a nice spot for birthdays and celebrations. There is also an upstairs to hire out.
