Fabulous menu plenty to choose from. We had a party of 12 and the service was excellent considering the number, everyone served pretty much the same time. The venue is great, plenty of room no one squashed close together. Food delicious (forgot to get pics) and staff so friendly.

Lovely food. Great service. Although we weren't told how half and half worked so ended up paying for a full pizza when only half was ate as the rest was taken away. Couldn't fault any of the food. Everyone finished it all. We were there for a birthday and the staff kindly brought out the cake and sang happy birthday, 18 year old loved it 😅😁

Brilliant place to head on the fish quay. It's cheap and cheerful with lovely staff who are happy to help. The food came out fast and very hot. Couldn't fault any of it! There's also big toilets available if you're taking kids and are worried about juggling them in tiny bathrooms. The place was quiet when we went but normally it's buzzing with people. Staff were all very friendly!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was authentic and bursting with flavor, with every dish cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. Definitely a must-visit Italian restaurant in northeast!!

Hands down the best 3 course meal I've ever had, £17.95 is an absolute bargain and the staff are excellent and give a warm welcome. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

First timer at Sambuccas. Sunday lunch was finished, so settled for a tasty burger. Don't often eat them, however this was delicious. Reasonable price and very friendly young staff. Mission accomplished.

Decided to call in here for Sunday lunch today. Glad we did. The three course special is an absolute bargain. It was quick service, the staff were friendly and upbeat and the food was nice. Great atmosphere. They had outdoor seating too over the road. Will definitely return next time we're in the area.
Can't fault the food at all. Mussels to start were lovely. Steak main was also faultless. Cheesecake for dessert mmmmm. Great price and great service. Will definitely be back.
Gorgeous steak on the three course special and the house wine is good too. Service is great and everyone is really friendly and helpful.
