Italian Food in Toon

yeah i was still in my suit from work also, had gone into town to watch the arsenal v juve game and hadn't eaten since lunch so i was desperate. never again though.

starvation aint a bad thing to consider if it means you dont have to mingle with the filth of the bigg market!

bet they were all looking funny at you and had a rather confused look on their faces....what the hell is he wearing?!?! they wont ever have seen a suit before

well, maybe when they are up in court

had my wig in my bag, god only knows the grief i would have recieved had i left that on.

nah, it keeps all the scum together in one place

serves a purpose

you should have put it on and they would have all fled!!! would fetch back memories of when they got sent down :laugh:

went for me birthday last year, was very impressed

thinking of giving la vita on heaton road a chance soon, anyone been?

good call!

It's only a small taxi ride and wait

Franchescas - is the best imo Sleepy.

Does anywhere do greek food in town apart from simply greek?

dont think so

greek rules

i can't remember what it's called but it was mozzerella & parma ham with bread crumbs & a tomato saucey thing for starters is lush

that sound bootiful

I quite fancy trying it there, looks alright!

I know totally

best italian in town is the cheapest... panis cafe.

seco's ok not a fan of azzuri.

but take them for an english - best authentic english cuisine is blackfriars - very traditional cooking.

agreed

Marco Polo on Dean Street is pretty nice went there for my 21st, service was spot on aswell. Never tried anyhere else really so couldnt comment

As they are Italian I would avoid anywhere like Coco Mos, Prima, Marco Polo etc like the plague. While the food may be ok, it is a million miles from anything really Italian. Personally I would go for Cafe Roma (Collingwood Street, Newcastle's first Italian restaurant), Franchescas or Sabatinis. These are actually run by Italians and about the closest you will get to authenticity.

words of wisdom although i'd actually add sabitinis to the list

i had lunch in sabatinis and it was awful. slow as well.
