Prima Restaurant Newcastle

Newcastle's Italian food scene has a quiet gem in Prima Restaurant, where the team have been turning out proper, no-nonsense Italian cooking that locals keep coming back for. Tucked away in the city centre, this family-run spot has built a loyal following thanks to its generous portions and warm, welcoming vibe. Their food hygiene rating speaks to the care that goes on behind the scenes, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in using quality ingredients to create dishes that feel both authentic and comforting.

You'll find all the classics here, done right: rich, slow-cooked ragùs, wood-fired pizzas with puffy, charred crusts, and creamy risottos that taste of real stock and patience. The carbonara is a standout – silky, eggy, and properly made without a hint of cream. Whether you're after a quick lunchtime pasta or a full evening feast, Prima delivers. They cover the whole Newcastle area for delivery, so you can enjoy a proper taste of Italy without leaving the sofa.
