However, the only locally-sourced food on the menu seems to be Minchella's ice cream, this was quite disappointing. Romano's is amazingly over-ambitious with pricing. £20.00 for a sirloin of steak? We're used to paying a lot less for food of the same (and better) par. £4.50 for a small bowl of olives, too. It would be great to see some sort of meal deal at Romano's - our fave restaurant, 'Room', has an excellent 50% off all food before 7pm. Maybe for an out-of-town restaurant, Romano would benefit from something like this.

Best in Town, good by any measure. I was told by a hostess…read morein a nearby town that if she had to eat in Wooler this is the only place she would go. I can't vouch for every place in town but the dinner here was excellent. I thought it to be of surprisingly high quality in a small town. Service was excellent even though they were very busy. (It was a weeknight but the beginning of school holidays. Call and make a reservation.) The starters and main courses were above the usual level of customary Italian. The desserts were artistic as well as tasty. The décor is an interesting sort of Bistro style and the bar well stocked.

From the owner: About Milan... The…read moreMilan Restaurant is located in the heart of wooler. It has gained a great reputation locally and much further afield, for serving fresh, innovative Italian food. The Milan is a 90 seater restaurant that caters for families, groups of friends or a romantic night out. Birthdays and any others celebration are made extra special by the friendly staff. Children are made to feel welcome with balloons and meals just for them. A word from the chef... We try to create a versatile menu using fresh produce, local where possible. Most of our suppliers are from Wooler itself or nearby. There is no doubt all tastes are catered for on our vast menu. Using the daily specials to bring new dishes to our customers as well as old favourites. All our desserts are made and prepared in house by our chefs to ensure high quality tasty treats.

Partner had a "caesar salad", which also was quite large, consisted of chicken ham, whole anchovies, over greens with a mayonnaise dressing on the side (which didn't add much). For mains we had eggplant over spaghetti, and pasta arrabiata-- both of which were quite large and quite flavorful. We then shared toffee cake and ice cream which resulted in an uncomfortable waddle home. Oh yes-- my prosecco and raspberry liqueur drink was large as well. Worth the money--especially if you don't over order like we did.

La Piazza is a nice restaurant in a nice location, with reasonably good service…read more Having dined here several times since it first opened, I would say that broadly the food is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. In short, perfectly fine, but not spectacular. I have personally had pizza here twice, and both times have found it dry and considerably lacking in both tomato and cheese - and therefore taste. The best item on the menu used to be a vegetarian goulash, though sadly this was taken off at some point last year.

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 .

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 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.

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.
