    After what felt like an incredibly long day at work I thought I would treat myself to a slice of…read morepizza at this New York style deli that only opened its doors earlier this month from the ambitious owner of Capology. I had high hopes this would revitalise me on a Friday evening and satisfy my taste buds and I was absolutely right! Manny's is ideally located on a side street off Northumberland street making it very convenient for shoppers, students or city centre workers alike. There were 4 different pizza's on display on my arrival which were explained to me by a very friendly lady behind the counter however there are many more options on the menu. They had meat options, vegetarian slices and even a white pizza (for those who are unaware this is pizza without the tomato sauce) so all in all a good selection. I opted for the prosciutto and rocket slice which was delicious....lovely thin base and beautiful combination of flavours! I chose to sit in the window which meant I could people watch which is always fun but you can also take out or have your pizza delivered which is great! I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see any of the desserts on offer in the counter although possibly a blessing for my waistline. There is also supposedly a Man Vs Food challenge which could be interesting. I will definitely be back to try something else!

    I can't comment on the location or atmosphere here as I ordered take out, but what I can say is…read morethat these pizzas are something else! Definately felt like a real New York style pizza and it was very good! I would definately eat from here again as it's great to share with friends because it's so ginormous! My only complaint is that they forgot to put the milkshake I ordered into the delivery.

    Best and most likely the most healthy pizza (or 'pie') you can get in Newcastle…read more Cal clearly knows his stuff as this pizza left a delicious after taste in my mouth, unlike dominoes/pizza hut which just leave me feeling sick. This thin pizza was the bees knees!

    Cal's Own has completely changed, so any review prior to April 2016 will be for their old location…read moreand old menu. Now they are in Jesmond, with a bigger restaurant and a huge, awesome pizza oven from Italy. Their soft launch menu features only Neopolitan-style pizzas - you know the ones that are only baked for a minute or two in a super-hot oven, you eat with a knife and fork, simple fresh tomatoes and the finest mozzarella, not heavy with toppings? They're very busy, as everyone is excited about the relaunch, but we came on the second night they were open and got a table after waiting only 10-15 minutes at around 630 pm, but if we went any later we would've been waiting longer. Staff are still figuring out the kinks of having a new restaurant, but you can't hold that against them at all! They'll have it down to a science within a few weeks, no doubt. Just be prepared to forgive a few occasional serving missteps. The new building is casual but sleek and shiny, with a huge open kitchen where you can watch the master work! We enjoyed some huge plump green olives and drinks while we waited for our pizzas. And what can I say, for what they are, they are the best we've had outside Italy (and probably tied with those). Perfect crust. Light, fresh ingredients. Good size for one person (a rocket salad split between two is the perfect accompaniment and will help you fill up). The spicy sausage on top was great, but you can't beat the pizza margherita for sheer simplicity. However, my husband and I both agreed that though these pizzas were great, we terribly miss the old Cal's Own. His Brooklyn-style pies were absolutely second to none, and that's what we crave when we want pizza. Neopolitan style is elegant and wonderful, knife-and-fork pizza. But Cal did huge pizzas that were sliced, and topped with all sorts of wonderful things, and we miss those every day! We hope that after a successful start, that Cal will expand his menu to include those beloved Brooklyn pies, but we'll definitely be back to try these again too!

    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!

    Very reasonable prices. Food was delicious. Wait staff was amazing. We got the mussels with salmon…read more The Sticky toffee was really good too! Great location in the heart of the city.

    There is no doubt Portofino's is a stunning and beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious and…read morethe service is great and cost is reasonable but and I know that its quite a long restaurant and there's nowhere for the staff to roam around but to stand nearby opposite diners and watch them eat is quite uncomfortable and off-putting, for me anyway. Also I noticed that as the queue was beginning to grow, I was getting 'the look' and felt a bit pressured to give up my table which was fine as I was preparing to leave but I didn't appreciate the pressure. But I cant take away from the exceptional food and the building and decor is stunning and for that I would recommend Portofino's to others visiting Newcastle.

    Cannot believe I have only just discovered this place! I went here with the girls last night as we…read morewere looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful seeing as it's not quite pay day and we had heard of the happy hour menu offering 2 courses for £8.95. I wasn't expecting such high quality and delicious food at the same time so I was pleasantly surprised! What a beautiful building inside-the roof is quite spectacular and makes this relatively small restaurant radiate grandness! The service was spot on too-very attentive staff who went the extra mile when they had run out of one of the options on their 'sweet of the day' happy hour menu and let us replace it with any other dessert for the same price! My only gripe would be there is nowhere to wait if your table isn't ready and so you end up huddled in the doorway. My friends ordered pasta dishes and I've never seen one of my friends actually finish every mouthful on her plate which was a good sign! I ordered the Pollo di Pancetta which was beautifully cooked with a lovely selection of vegetables. The red wine sauce for me was quite subtle and not as thick as I would have liked but certainly didn't take the shine off the superb quality of the food. For dessert all three of us opted for one of the cheesecakes. All I can say is......wow! I highly recommend this restaurant and wouldn't be deterred from eating here outside of happy hour neither as I think the quality is worth paying for! That said...what an ideal destination for food straight after work!
