The two man team are friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming (and a little bit wacky sometimes).

The dough twists are lovely, the chicken wings divine, but their minestrone is simply some of the best soup you will ever have in your life. I think I've tried all the pizzas over the years, and all the pastas too. Yesterday I had a Carnosa, cooked to perfection as always, generous to the edge toppings with a completely authentic Italian taste. The glass of house red was delicious, the service as ever, attentive and polite. Families are always welcome, but single diners are just as valued. This would be a lovely restaurant in which to introduce children to dining out properly - formal enough to feel special, friendly so that children will relax. I never ever eat anywhere else when I visit Newcastle for shopping. Why would I want to go somewhere that could only be second-best to this. The negative review here must have been the work of a malicious rival. Either that or he/she was in a different restaurant.

It's a traditional looking Italian restaurant located on Wallsend High St. The interior is decorated with frame pictures from Italian Mafia movies. For £7 a head you might be expecting average food, but we were really impressed by how tasty our dishes were. Really very enjoyable, by any standards! The atmosphere of a lunchtime here is quiet, with friendly service from staff. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of Red Wine with our 3 course meal and the total bill came to around £22. An absolute bargain! We'll definitely be returning here for lunch again.

The staff there are really friendly and very accommodating we've celebrated a few birthdays there and they have helped us organise surprises. The menu is very varied, not just sticking to the bog standard pizzas and pastas, they branch out into other more interesting dishes, their specialities include roasted monkfish with grilled lettuce, red pepper relish and polenta. Porchetta, a Tuscan-style pork roast with fennel, herbs and garlic, and Tuscan braised beef. I'm a big fan of the pizzas here though. Menu prices are about average for an Italian restaurant and they do also have happy hours. The décor inside is great, very rustic and cozy. A great place to dine.
