About Prima

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.

Dinner before gig at the Sage. Great pasta, delicious sauces. Service was fantastic & the close work magician was an awesome touch. Looking for an excuse to come back!

Visiting Newcastle we enjoyed our first meal at Prima. Loved the ambience and the food was excellent…My wife is Gluten intolerant and highly recommended the food…. pity we had to leave to catch the train so had to skip a dessert. Will make more time when we visit next. Staff were very helpful and courteous.

I came here for a late valentines meal as i was working, the place has always been a nice place to come for food! Very busy yet we were served quite quickly i was surprised! There was also a singer on, just loud enough to appreciate but not too loud. We had the mussels to start and then a rigatoni genevese pasta with cheesey garlic bread, i definitely recommend the pasta, delicious. All at a fair price!

Great food and fantastic service despite being extremely busy on a Saturday night.
Heather Woolfries
The food was only warm not hot enough we were never asked how we wanted our steaks cooked and we didn't get the blue cheese sauce as apparently there was none left it was more like a Sunday dinner. I think most of us would have gone for the other menu knowing this.

Recently had a family meal celebrating our daughters 18th, food, atmosphere and service was fabulous. We’ve eaten at Prima several time and they never disappoint.
