I have been a regular at this wonderful restaurant virtually ever since it opened - the prices have…read morecrept up a little over the years, but the lunch remains fantastic value. 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 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?

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.
