Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Newcastle

Overall we would eat there again We had a large party and they were able to accommodate us well. A couple in our party felt their food proportion was small for price. The bread was not cut through so we had to tear it making us touch pieces of bread others would eat. One person said the chicken was dry in their salad. Good menu choice and majority felt it was a very good meal.

It was a great experience. Everyone was very nice and polite. As always. My girl wanted a drink that wasn’t on the menu. The bartender was so nice and made something especially for her. Which she loved. Me and my girl will be back for sure 🤤 food was outstanding I can’t even find the words to describe. Thank you. we’ll see you soon

Love it so much we are coming back on Saturday bringing my parents. Another fantastic meal, we may have to rent a place in Kirkland so that we don't have to keep driving the hour each way to get here. Fernando, Cindy, Tony and the rest of the wonderful team makes us feel like family. The food is excellent, I love the selection of wines and my Wife and I have decided to go through the menu trying everything. Started with Prosciutto e Melone a great bottle of Super Tuscan Wine, the directly to the I had the Pasta Meatball with Marsalla Sauce and the Wife had Lemon Chicken and finished it off with Limoncello Gelato with a shot of Limoncello (according to my Wife that is the best way to have it). Everything was wonderful and had great flavor. I am not sure what they did to the marsalla sauce but it was the best I have ever had. When we come back on Saturday I may have to have it again. My Parents love coming here, but they only want to come when Tony is there becuase they love his singing and the energy and extra love he brings. What a great start to Christmas week.

Wonderful catch up lunch with a friend at Stella. The ambiance was fantastic, as was the service. And the food was excellent…crisp lettuce in our salads, excellent fruit, and the chicken was grilled to perfection. We were very happy.

This is our second time visiting Messina and it is amazing. The appetizer of Sicilian Meatballs is so flavorful and reminds me of my recent trip to Sicily. The Beet salad is probably my favorite, but I left just a little room for my Short Rib Lasagna. I am going to enjoy that the next day for sure. The sauce is so flavorful, perfection in every bite.
