Oli & Joes Gosforth in Newcastle upon Tyne

1st time at this Ollie and Joe's and the service was OK polite staff but lacking some knowledge of the drinks they served.I asked what brand lemonade they had and server no know went off to get im guessing manager and he just said draft ...tried to explain I don't like certain brand and he came back with yes it has sweetners in it...I let it go and went for a pre bottled drink...as neither of them had any idea of what I was asking about...food served hot and nice....but glad I have no allergies as the staff would have no idea and putting on an Italian accent doesn't help....I know he spoke plain English as I heard him over at the bar. ..Will use another O&J next time our Preference is Prudhoe....

Food was great staff gave a excellent service would recommend it to friends

Excellent service, staff friendly, cosy atmosphere and meal served quickly, food hot and delicious. We have been every week for 3 weeks now, hoping to try everything on the menu ha!!!!

Food was absoultly lovely, service was amazing polite staff, would highly recomend this place great prices will be returning

Had a lovely 3 course lynch with family. We all loved our various meals and had a great time

Staff were very friendly. This is a cosy place to eat. The desserts were OK but the cheesecake didn't taste home made. We had veg lasagne which was pleasant but slightly sloppy. Would have benefited from more cheese and less liquid I think. From other reviews I gather the restaurant has signature dishes but we are veggie so were limited..

All of this for £ 6.95? This is a hidden gem for sure. Penne arrabbiata wasn't exactly real Italian penne arrabbiata but I didn't mind it because it was still pretty good. The soup was delicious. Ice cream was okay, but all this together was great. Thank you guys!

Lovely food and great service, would recommend

What an incredible find! Looks like nothing special from the outside but this is a hidden gem! Seriously spectacular food. We were a family of five and between us we tried the pizza the pasta and the steaks in sauce and we were blown away by the quality. And the prices! There are several family friendly Italian restaurants in Gosforth but I think you absolutely cannot do better than this one for quality and price. Five stars no question.

Lovely atmosphere, been coming here for years, good prices and amazing food, highly recommend the lasagna.
