We came for dinner mid-week and I must say the pizza and pasta are one of the best we’ve tried in Newcastle! Thanks and congratulations to the chef Darren. The food and the service were spot on, we will definitely come again!

Called in on a Saturday evening and got seated with no issues at all. Restaurant wasn’t overly busy and ordered the steak and lemon chicken dishes. The wait was longer than we anticipated but the food was cooked to perfection. Probably the tastiest restaurant food we have had in a long time.

First time here, I don't know what I was expecting but whatever it was I was definitely impressed! Smart place, we had a Groupon for Saturday's which was incredibly good value. The is on another level, cooked super fresh from scratch, it's up there with the best I've had. I liked the bar as well comfortable. The open plan kitchen pizzeria was nice. The staff were super accommodating and mega friendly! I'd come back for sure.

Visited after getting a cracking deal on Groupon. The service was exceptional and the food superb. The seating was good with plenty of space between tables, nothing was rushed and the food was served piping hot. Really brilliant main courses (pizza and pasta) - big portions and good value. The stuffed churros were divine!! The waiting staff did a brilliant job. Thank you

Nicely surprised! We didn't expect such a lovely meal at a hotel adjacent restaurant, but this place really came through with great Italian. Beautiful pasta, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Service was a little slow at times, especially since we ended up being the only table there, but willing to forgive and will be trying again!
