Reviews in Newcastle City Centre

Went for a birthday treat with family. 6 adults and 2 children. Children didn't want spicy food so we asked if there was anything else. Waiter said they could do fried chicken and chips and we agreed that would be very nice. We didn't ask the price (more fools us) and they didn't say. When we got the bill we found that most of the dishes were between £5-£7 but the children's meals were £9.95 EACH. Their meal consisted of about 5 or 6 pieces of chicken about the size of a 50p piece each, chips, peas and a bit of salad garnish. We all thought this was outrageous and they have lost some regulars through this.

i felt the manger and staff very arrogant and generally unpleasant the waiter on the occasion came to the table numerous time within the space of 25 minuets very excessive the food was ok, the risotto was good although it was a little hard, a few other members of my party didn't receive the same "high" standard the restaurant that we had be told to expect the ambience was well dead and the smell of the lace was of cleaning products seemed veery over powering.

I have been eating here for a number of years and recommend it most highly! Especially if eating before 9.00 p.m. - £7.95 for 4-course meal - excellent. Definitely give it a go. Food is superb.

Awful

I love this place, great to calling for bite to eat after work and its always consistently lovely. The salads are always fresh and well dressed but I have a particular taste for the pizza boschetto which I seem to order alot. Staff are always lovely and you never have to wait too long for food. people always recommend places to try but i keep coming back to La Vita as nothing is seems to compare.

Last night was the first time at Zizzis. Very loud and crowded.,you cannot eat your meal properly because you are so squashed.Very impersonal staff, you feel like you are on a conveyer belt for service. Pizzas ok, lasagne is the smallest I have ever seen, a small strip in the middle of a oval dish and very thin and well below average with no garlic bread or salad ,just sitting there looking lost.Pasta very bland, and rissotto quite tasteless ie, the one with chicken breast and mosserella is just 2 strips of chicken on top of runny rissotto.Banana and chocolate dessert was a burnt waffle in sauce , could not find the banana,torte lemone was below average bought in.All in all a not very good experience.

It was okay, the tomato and pesto flat bread to start was lovely, but the rest of the meal was a bit disappointing; bland and long wait for a quiet lunch time.

We are not vegetarians but this place does not let anyone down, nice food, served by people who seem to care about what they do! Especially nice for lunch, but a nice change for evenings! Bring your own booze!

best indians take away i have ever had the pizza's are really nice and cheap too 10* try it out.

I LOVE IT !! Its my treat... always a good buzzin atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and food is YUMMIE what more can i say except try it and you will enjoy especially the squid and brocolli and dumpling soup mmmm.....

i have lived in Newcastle for three years and am really pleased to have found such a chilled out friendly place to eat and the food is delicious, not two ponsy just right! the whole place has a relaxed anything goes atmosphere which i really like.

No fuss, relaxed atmosphere to eat excellent quality food with good range of western-chinese and chinese dishes at very reasonable prices. I'm still working my way through the menu and haven't had a bad experience yet. The staff are very friendly and always willing to explain the less familiar dishes to us.

Really good home from home food. Big range from excellent breakfasts to supper ( you can take your own bottle). Very good sandwiches - real bread and no packaging. Food organic and very fresh. Nice people running the place and there's a nice atmosphere to the place.

Marvellous!

I visited Newcastle for a long weekend and ate here three times - it was so good. I am a veggie and there were excellent veggie and vegan choices - the beetroot soup was first rate and the bean chilli delicious and spicy. One of my companions had an omelette which looked very good indeed. Additionally, there was plenty for the meateater - seemingly the sausages are outstanding and the lamb casserole very popular- all the meat is locally sourced and all food is organic.

My wife and I must have hit a bad spot. We saw Luigi's while in Newcastle fro a short break, on Tuesday evening September 4th. My wife is a vegetarian, and Italian restaurants usually offer more choice for her and me. Starter was OK, both had potato wedges [a bit greasy and watery sauce]. My wife had some pasta which she said was reasonable. I ordered a Calzone Pizza. The pizza pastry was hard while I really was not sure what was served to me inside for ham. It had a very different texture to any ham I have ever had before, not nice at all. I only ate a mouthful. I was only charged for my starter - fair enough, but then they tried to charge for wine costing £10 + when we had asked for a half litre of house wine, which was priced on their menu at £5.??. They did amend the bill for this when it was pointed out. The atmosphere was not pleasant, obviously problems in the kitchen and a number of dishes coming out wrong etc. [I was facing the kitchen window and could see the staff]. The waiter was pleasant enough but we would never go again.

Mamma Mia Pizzeria is warm friendly restaurant with friendly staff. once you've been you won't want to go to any where else for an Italian

Luigi's is a haven in the heart of Newcastle. Its delightful array of simplistic pizzas and pasta, along with its affordable prices make sure you don't miss Luigi's! Dan and Kathleen Married for 25years
