The kitchen actually allow you to split entrées; my friend and I had 50-50 where we actually took an entrée and he had half a plate of one thing have to put another and I had half a plate of one thing and half a plate of another because we couldn't decide and so they split the plates (it's just pasta sauce easy) but who else does that?

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. Milan is hidden down a walkway off the street so it may take a tiny bit of effort to see. Go find it!

I had some sort of fried food with nduja (a spicy sausage that I forgot how to spell) for my starter and it was incredible. Then I had a beef and onion pasta that was great but the onion was completely different to what I imagined. The place looked really nice with mutti candles and other nice decor. But the best part was the service. The workers made me feel welcome. It felt like the whole restaurant was a big family gathering. Shame that the menu changes because what I had was great and I would order it again. Will come back

Adorable little Italian restaurant with authentic flavors, fresh dishes, and friendly service!…read moreHighly rated and for good reason, we had to book a reservation in advance and you get charged for no-shows or last minute cancellations as the restaurant is very small and would lose out on a table. The menu is rotational and the one in my photos are for the summer; we ordered a side of bread that came with olive oil/balsamic vinegar and was given a complimentary cup of gazpacho. They complimented each other very well and it was so wonderfully fresh with tomato, onion, basil, and oregano. My sister ordered the seafood linguini & I got the Agnello (Scottish lamp chops with veggies & potatoes). The linguini was quite salty that made the dish a bit unbearable but my lamb chops were absolutely delicious! They were a lot smaller than I anticipated, even though there were four I left the restaurant pretty hungry which was disappointing.

Although it was full the staff was quite kindly and helpful to their guests. We chose bruschetta as starter and a pizza and a vegetarian risotto respectively as main course. Finally we had an expresso and Tiramisu as dessert. But also pasta, salads and some dishes with meat/steak or fish are available. Special menus for kids are also available and vegetarians will find a sufficient variety of menus. We were lucky to gain the last free table today for 2 persons. But it is highly recommended to make a reservation in advance especially when you come with more people or groups. Anyway we can thoroughly recommend this restaurant with 5 stars.

Click on the following link for the full menu http://dalpatino.co.uk/menu/a-la-carte/. Massimo, the maitre'd and server was amazing. They actually recognized our voice when we called for reservations the second night. Reservations are recommended as this place is small and quite busy. The food is fantastic! Quite possibly the best Italian I've had to date. We tried appetizers, main dishes and desserts.
