Reviews in Newcastle City Centre

Extremely consistent service. Every visit enjoys a warm reception, attentive staff, an unhurried yet vibrant atmosphere and an extensive, simply prepared and delicious menu. A true Italian restaurant in fact!

The lady friend and I went Tapas crazy on Friday and hit El Torero and we were not disappointed. A great atmosphere, quick service and fantastic food We ordered seven dishes all of which were superb. From the juicy King Prawns in chilli and garlic to the Mussels in white wine. Together with a bottle of red wine and a dessert to share the bill came to £33.40. The dishes come separately as and when they are cooked, which I liked, as it made the whole experience less daunting. I left after two hours feeling 2 stones heavier and slightly suntanned FANTASTIC!!!!

Pricey but on a quiet night, its a good place to spend with friends. Come weekends though its full of pretentious and fake crowd flaunting any signs of wealth in order to out do each other. Good service though.

Its simple and the foods good. Can't fault the place.

This place is alright. It? by no means a GREAT restaurant but not a bad one either. If your easily enticed by a CHINESE guy imitating a JAPANESE CHEF juggling eggs in between cooking what is essentially a variation of Chinese food, whilst surrounded by the odd youth team graduate footballer then so be it. However, if you?e after a true traditional Japanese food sushi experience, you should have gone to Nagomi on Stowell Street before Newcastle? uncultured crowd closed it down through their ignorance to try GOOD food. Anyway, on a different note, Hanahana is quite fun when you go with a large group of friends and the owner and chefs are happy to indulge in SAKE drinking sessions past closing time. All in all, it? worth the higher price, just for the experience and entertainment.

It was absolutely fab!!! The food was lush and the swinging music really got me wanting to dance!

This place is absolutely fantastic, it puts all the other Chinese restaurants to shame. 10 out of 10

Great atmosphere, warm and welcoming. The Italian manager does the rounds of the tables and is great with kids. Good variety of tasty food.

This is a great restaurant, exceptional value for money: 3 courses, two bottles of wine and two bottles of water for only £60 (2 people). The staff are friendly - the only thing is some of the tables are extremely close together but this is the Italian way. A firm favourite!

One of the best Chinese restaurants that I have been to and the prawns on the banquet are to die for they are so fresh and tasty. The whole meal was very enjoyable and if in Newcastle would go again. Like the previous review the only down side is that smoking IS allowed.

dined here whilst working in Newcastle recently. fantastic starter of local cheese fritter and tomato jam. the tenderest piece of beef i think i've ever had. bailey? pud was not in keeping with the quality of the rest of the food. i think it had been microwaved. all in all though a terrific meal.

This little place is terrific the whole restaurant is lit with fairy lights candles and dim wall lights makes it look very romantic and Italian. The meal was brilliant really nice food and very very well prices we had a nice surprise at the bill it was really worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone who is in Newcastle and would visit again if in the city.

I booked a table for our anniversary and can honestly say this restaurant has ambience, quality and style. The prices were very good as well as the service. Would recommend.......

The best food I have eaten in Newcastle and i've been back 5 times..! Can get quite busy and noisy tho

The most relaxed atmosphere and most beautiful of any restaurant I?e been to in Newcastle.

Great food here. The salt and pepper prawns were perfection. The guys who own it are great too !!! Portions could be bigger however !!

Amazing lunch in cafe royal with fantastic steak and classy atmosphere and an amazing selection of cakes and coffees.

During my visit to Puccini? in Newcastle I fully enjoyed it throughout the evening, we were always made welcome, although at the end of the night we felt that we were rushed out. staff explained they needed the table back, however it was good overall.
