About Prima Nova

Housed in a railway arch under the old high-level bridge, Prima Nova has been a fixture on Newcastle’s Quayside for two decades and is one of the city’s largest and most popular Italian restaurants. It can seat up to 300 diners with tables on two floors, an outside dining space and a new third floor lounge bar. You can choose from a wide range of pizza and pasta dishes as well as chicken and steaks from the grill with a choice of sauces and meat and fish mains. In addition to the main menu there are plenty of special deals and offers running throughout the week including an all-day Bottomless Brunch. The wine list is largely Italian and they do a mean cocktail too. It’s a lively and atmospheric venue and a great choice for a celebration.

Service and food second to none top notch atmosphere was also really good however one thing you need to be upfront regarding your service charge added to the bill without telling your customer I always leave a tip if I think I have good food and service any way but that is customer choice not yours.will definitely be back thanks

This is one of my favourite restaurants I have visited. The location is superb as it is just a quick pleasant walk to the bars afterwards if you wish to extend your evening! We were greeted by pleasant staff and the service was very prompt, despite it being a busy Friday night we were not waiting long at all for our excellent food. (Which is so reasonably priced). So flavoursome and leaves you wanting more! I will definitely be returning this weekend when I go to Newcastle.

One word: unique. Me and my family went there for my mother's 50th and had such a fun time. The large room with authentic stone walls from the bridge is unlike anything I've seen before! The staff seem a lot of fun and the pizzas are probably the best around. Highly recommended!
Peter
We took my father there for his 60th birthday and it was the one of the best meals we have ever had. The staff looked after us and really made my parents our younger children feel very welcome. A great family restaurant i would highly recommend. Value for money was also good can't wait to go back.
Elaine
I have only been twice the first experience was a work Christmas night out and I found the food awful on that occasion. However I gave it the benefit of the doubt and went again for another occasion and had a completely different experience the food was good and the staff friendly but not intrusive. Glad I went back!
