la Famiglia in Northumberland

Great food but unfortunately the two young waiting staff were kept so busy serving drinks they simply couldn't keep up with food orders. We had such a long wait for a pudding menu and then for someone to come back and take an order that we gave up on pudding. They were both working really hard though

Tasty food, authentic Italian, well-cooked. Reasonably priced, service was really quick. We got seated without pre-booking and parked right outside, so all good and would dine there again if we were in the area.

Nothing less than a 5*. Originally we had not booked and upon arrival a couple of tables free. Lovely waitress/manager seated us which she didn’t have to and she put in one hell of a shift! Evidently short on staff but this lady has the whole restaraunt on point... never an empty glass and food was DELICIOUS. Travelled from Croydon, South London and this place beats all the Italian cuisine we have had! 5*!!!

Brilliant service, really friendly staff and food was great. Really attentive to our toddler (who obviously loved it!)Strongly recommend!

Fabulous food! We had the calamari (light, crispy and tender), pizza (wonderful flavour in the tomato sauce) and mushroom risotto (the most delicious I have even had). Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I originally awarded 5 stars but feel the need to edit after our last visitWe returned after a lovely meal on our first visit ( see review further down)My husband ordered steak again as it was cooked well the first time (he loves steak and cooks a good steak himself)When the steak arrived he said it didn't look as good as the last time and when he started to eat it it was very overdone on one half and very underdone on the other half. He had asked for medium rare. He ate the steak however left quite a bit that was inedible. We rarely complain so didn't say anything. However when asked how the food was after our meal my husband commented politely that it was not as nice as the last time which was met with a very abrupt response saying they cook it all the time! No apology or asking what was wrong with it, making us wonder why they even bother asking if they aren't prepared for an honest answer. I'm hindsight my husband should have sent the steak back but we didn't want to make a fuss. We just offered an honest opinion when we are asked! We left quite disappointed by the lack of interest and abruptness. So will now find somewhere else local that values customer experience!Really lovely meal, I had pasta, my husband had steak. Excellent menu choice. The restaurant was very busy but the service was still great, staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We will definitely return.

Clean and welcoming restaurant with friendly staff giving great service. We were in for a lunchtime special which was an absolute steal- extremely tasty fresh food for the price. The garlic mushroom starter was perfection😁

Family friendly Italian restaurant with a good,varied menu. Welcoming staff and comfortable surroundings. Service very good,food hot but for me not seasoned very well. Having said that It is a very good place to eat. Early bird menu particularly good value.

Early bird special is a good deal, three courses. We can't even finish two courses. Garlic bread is a must, the tomato soup is the most authentic we've had, really fresh and spicy. The Alfredo is a tad salty for me but that's just me used to low salt. And really friendly service. Good value even if without the early bird special. Plus nice seating.

Called here for the early bird special on a trip to Amble. The food was fantastic as was the service & prices & the restaurant was spotlessly clean. We will definitely be calling again in the future
