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.

The restaurant itself was nicely laid out and decorated. I was given two menus, one was the standard menu and the other was their "before 7:30pm" menu. I ordered a green salad, garlic bread and the carbonara. Interesting note on the pasta dishes, I could pick the type of pasta I wanted (fettucine, spaghetti, fusili, etc.) Nice touch. About 45 seconds after I ordered, my food arrived. Massive portions of pasta, a garlic bread the size of a dinner plate, and a solid green salad. The carbonara was outstanding, the garlic bread was just right. The only criticism I have is the asparagus in the salad was soggy. But other than that, outstanding. And check this out, this is the best part....so salad, huge bowl of pasta, massive garlic bread, and a soda.......£15. I know, right?! Unbelievable.

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.

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday, but didn't fancy a traditional Sunday lunch.  The weather was…read moregood, so we sat outside on the patio to people-watch.  It's a lovely spot, lively and scenic in the heart of the Quayside. The menu was full of Italian standards, and seemed fairly inexpensive.  I really had no expectations as I'd heard nothing about Uno's before, and the whole family was pleasantly surprised by how good our lunches were.  We started with whitebait and calamari - I didn't taste the calamari, but the whitebait were piping hot and perfectly crisp.  Even my 20-month old loved them, to my great surprise!  The calamari came with the Sunday lunch - only £14.95 for three courses, and my mother-in-law thought the sea bass (Chef's "fish of the day" option on the Sunday deal) was absolutely gorgeous, and it came served with bright vegetables.  My husband and I shared a lovely Rustica pizza (£9.95) with a crisp crust, juicy tomatoes, lots of parma ham, Parmesan shavings, and rocket.  Even better was the spaghetti meatballs - not an enormous portion of pasta, but the meatballs were abundant!  For £9.95 you really get your money's worth in the meat department, but more pasta would've been nice!  However, the meatballs were truly a cut above.  They really reminded me of...well... meatballs that I would cook.  You could see inside them the onion, spinach, herbs - they were not uniform, hard balls - they were hand-formed and full of different ingredients besides meat, and they were soft and delicious.  The toddler really enjoyed them too! Desserts - sticky toffee pudding and tiramisu - were just fine.  Classic and well-presented, but not staggering. Everyone enjoyed their meal, even those who are normally quite hard to please, and we all felt it was a little unassuming gem of a place.  Would absolutely come back next time we are craving Italian!

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.
