"I visited this restaurant for the first time with a friend, and I can guarantee it won't be my last! The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. You’d be hard-pressed to find food that’s both delicious and beautifully presented anywhere else. The owner and staff truly made us feel at home and valued. Everything was absolutely perfect! I'm quite picky, but I couldn't find a single thing to complain about."

"We were here on Saturday, really feel the 1 star review on the same night is unjustified. The blonde girl was in training and very nervous, but equally very pleasant. The rest of the staff, friendly and knowledgable. The food was lovely, 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 side and 4 drinks for £50, you can’t complain for that price! The only thing missing was the harbour view of Turkey rather than the streets of Sunderland! But they had the carpets on the wall so it felt the part"

"This restaurant had a lovely ambiance and a promising menu, but ultimately fell short in a few key areas. The menu was limited and the service was mediocre, with long waits between ordering and receiving food. The duck dish looked beautiful but was dry and had an odd taste. The roast potato and sausage roll were also disappointing, tasting as if they had been left under a heat lamp for too long. However, the starters of squid and pigs in blankets were superb. Overall, the food did not live up to the price and potential of the restaurant."

"Booked in for Saturday night and from start to finish we had an amazing night out, seated straight away, the waitress was straight over to get drinks orders and then menu followed (we couldn't decide what to have) so waitress gave some recommendations and came back a few minutes later and took our order. We were not disappointed!! The food was fresh and hot and I asked for a couple of slices of bread for the sauce from the homemade lasagne. Nothing was too much trouble. We waited a little while to order dessert (ice cream) which was gorgeous and not to filling. The restaurant was very busy but we weren't made to feel rushed at all and sat for a little while with another round of drinks and got the bill. Very reasonable prices. Would recommend booking and it's great to see a much loved restaurant busy again. Staff are so friendly, attentive and polite, nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to visit again and also loving the fresh new look with the decor. We will be back. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Carbonara Pasta, Hot Pepperoni Pizza, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Spaghetti Bolognese, Potato Skins, Parma Ham and Mozzarella, Lasagne"

"We have been eating here on a regular basis for a while now. We have taken friends as well as just going as a couple. It is positioned above the Jolly sailor pub so beware there are stairs to climb. There are seats as you enter along with a bar and a room at the back as well. Paula has a wonderful display of photographs from Italy on display to give it a more authentic feel.We have always been warmly welcomed by the staff and you definitely should book to avoid disappointment, they do have a lot of regulars.We have also visited on special occasions such as Halloween, Valentine's Day and new Year's Eve. On these occasions there are always additions to the usual menu or in the case of NYE a set menu which had to be pre ordered.There are always home made bread buns awaiting you followed by another treat on the house. The menu is varied and there is always a specials blackboard. The starter selection is varied but if you plan a dessert go hungry as the starters are definitely not mean portions.We have tried pretty much all the menu between us and whether your taste is pizza, pasta, meat or fish you will not be disappointed. A dish of either veg of gorgeous chunky chips comes with your main from the meat and fish and a side of salad is enough for two should you opt for that.The desserts are very reasonably priced and often have a seasonal special on them. Coffees are a good price and the wine selection is varied and again a decent price. There are a few typically Italian cocktails on offer too.At the end of the meal you are offered a digestif to set you on your way. We have been in a large group for an outing and they cope steadily with delivery of the meals to all without a long gap.The real draw is the friendly welcome and the kindness the staff display along with the obvious hard work to please the customers.Alex has a dry wit and is delighted if you have a good evening.There is a happy hour from 5 with 25% off menu prices.It is closed on a Sunday except for special occasions."
