If you want true Italian food like you would get in Italy this is the restaurant for you!!! I recently came here for my birthday and am already planning my next trip to Newcastle just to come back and eat here. The night I was there we had Napoli Style Garlic Bread - The bread is cooked in the woodfire oven and stuffed with garlic, oregano and mozzarella cheese, I can never eat any other garlic bread again after eating this one it is that good Margherita Pizza - The best pizza I have ever eaten, the pizza here is done in the true Napoli style, thin crust soggy middle (flip up the nose and curl in the sides) beautiful rich sauce and blobs of mozzarella cheese Pasta Alla Norma - Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente in the most amazing red sauce with chunks of beautifully cooked eggplant and ricotta Sicilian Canoli - Omg I dream about these!

Prices were really reasonable I hightly recommend. Only minor negative were the olives they used in their Italian salad were not great.

The breakfasts menu is more imaginative than most and they make their own potato rostis rather than buy those nasty frozen hash browns that you normally get as standard cafe breakfast fare. I have since found that he roasts his own coffee, and this makes this place all the more special. Go for this experience alone!
