“ We went there really early around 4:30 pm so it was not at all busy. We had bruschetta for starters base was really soft and delicious. We ordered Arrabiata and ravioli very well made balanced flavour. Dessert was the best part chocolate fudge and tiramisu extremely yummy also fresh. I got hangover from their delicious food. Wish they add more vegetarian variety in their menu. ”

“ Top quality Sardinian cooking in a small restaurant tucked away in North Shields town centre. Highlight of this trip was an octopus and potato salad that I can't stop thinking about! Pizzas and pastas are absolutely lush. The restaurant is BYOB with no corkage which is also a plus. Also very child friendly. A lovely mix of people whenever we have visited, the staff are excellent and very welcoming. ”
“ A vibrant cafe with authentic Italian cuisine. My party ordered pizza and pasta as seen in the attached photos. I would definitely recommend as a place to visit for a relaxing meal with friends. ”
“ Really friendly and welcoming staff. I was surprised it was full on a Wednesday evening. It obviously had it's regulars. I'd personally prefer more choice in pizza, particularly meaty ones. But, the food was lovely. They don't have a liqueur licence so everyone brings their own beer and wine. There's an off licence along the road which had a decent assortment should you need anything. ”
“ Incredible authentic tasty Italian food. Excellent personal service. Best Italian at the coast by miles. Update: Just had the prawns, mussels, mushrooms, lasagna and pizza. And they made amazing gluten free pasta for my daughter. Outstanding ”
“ Went in for our second visit today. Just a light lunch but everything was lovely. Nice, laid back and friendly vibe. Reasonably priced and the food was very nice. Really I'm reviewing this place on what I saw happen today when I was just minding my own business eating my lunch with my son. A lady came in on her own and quietly let the waitress know she was homeless and someone had told her the place might be able to offer her something to eat. She wasn't demanding, she was very quietly spoken and seemed a little embarrassed about asking. The waitress chatted with her for a while and then briefly had to go into the kitchen - I think to get my lunch. Out of the kitchen came a guy who spent a little time with the lady and said that the restaurant had offered some free meals at Xmas for people in need but it was just a one off. He then very kindly offered her something anyway and the waitress came back out, they carried on chatting and the lady was given some lunch and a drink. No fuss was made, it was all done very quietly and because no one else was in I overheard bits of what was going on. What a lovely thing. ”
“ Fantastic food at reasonable prices. All the dishes were tasty, hot, and well presented. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere good. The Tiramisu was light and airy, delicious ! Definitely recommend this place ”
