Antico Restaurant

Lovely meal in a lovely restaurant. We started with calamari and the goats cheese on red peppers. We then had the chef's specials of lamb shank and clams with pasta. The whole meal was delicious and the staff were pleasant and friendly as usual.

Friendly, efficient staff. We were shown to our table straight away. We ordered a bottle of chianti classico and a jug of iced water. I had a fish skewer to start with and my husband scallops. Both tasted lovely. We both had fillet steaks with peppercorn sauce which came with a small portion of vegetables. The steaks were cooked to perfection . We finished off with espressos and limoncello liquer. The restaurant was fairly busy with a buzzing atmosphere and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. The bill came to just under £100. It was a very enjoyable meal and we would like to go back and maybe try a pasta or pizza next time.

Fabulous proper Italian food and I should know being Italian.... but the kind of food we go to restaurants for rather than cook at home for ourselves. great ambience and friendly service too!

It was excellent. The staff were warm and welcoming, the service was efficient but unobtrusive and the food was lovely. I went with two friends and we agreed we had had a super evening.

Great food and service It was a quiet Friday lunchtime and we were able to take our time over the meal The waitress was very attentive but not in your face Great meal and the House White was good.

We had an enjoyable evening and the meal was very good. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Already planning to return with some friends in the near future.

Great décor and atmosphere. The service is so friendly and the food is very affordable. The helpings are of a good size and delicious ...

Fantastic food, really varied menu, it has great atmosphere, small and cosy, and really friendly staff one of my favourite restaurants in the north east

On a very busy evening when there really wasn't any room at all they managed to squeeze 2 extra guests in. Very attentive and friendly. Top marks and we will return.

Great food & service, relaxing atmosphere, not cheap but reasonably priced. Really nice evening, offering traditional Italian pasta dishes and really nice steak, fish & chicken too. Well worth a visit

Great little italian restraurant, does the usual italian fayre very well (pizza and pasta). The bread and olives are amazing value, very much enjoyed the prawn starter.

Received a very warm welcome, offered drinks and had the Specials described to us. This was followed by excellent service of delicious food - wonderful main courses & desserts.

I have never been disappointed with the food or service at Antico. The atmosphere is lovely, the music is never loud, unlike other restaurants i have been to. Staff are always attentive, only maybe one very small point, i think the meals are just slightly rushed, i do like to wait a little after my starter before main meal comes, but that is just a communication thing with the staff to say can i have little more time before main meal. But i would recommend Antico to family and friends and work colleagues known they will be have lovely food.

Although it was an early booking on a Thursday there was a nIce atmosphere as the restaurant was almost full.Lovely food, reasonably priced and very pleasant staff.

When we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful, the menu was a good mix of options and the restaurant had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The service was very good and the food was excellent, overall it was a really great night and I would recommend Antico and we will certainly be visiting again. Dave

Love the place. Go there regularly. Maybe my favourite italien restaurant in Newcastle. Really good food and wine, amazing service and atmosphere, one must definitely go there.

Fantastic restaurant. Food is really fresh, you can tell no frozen food used. Staff are really friendly, they even provided reading glasses to help with the menu!! Nice welcome, great food!

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere. Food was good and large portions for a very reasonable price compared to other restaurants in Jesmond. Would definitely visit again :)

Lovely restaurant, great food and ambiance, staff very welcoming and friendly. The manager always makes a point of saying hello to us. We will be back!

So happy with Antico.

Great food, nice and kind service. I am Italian and happy say that they properly represent our quality! I often eat at Antico and I do suggest it to friends.

Food excellent, but took far too long to get it. It was very busy, and the staff were good, but there just didn't seem to be enough of them.

Booked the table for 8.30 got seated just before 9 was very busy. Food was excellent and the waiters were very friendly. Definitely will go back

Fantastic food, great friendly service. Steak was amazing. Thoroughly recommend. Parking is tricky but we did find somewhere close by. Appears clean. Will come again.

Lovely evening! Nice ambience, friendly staff, gorgeous food and wine! What more can i say except that we will definitely be returning and I will be recommending Antico to friends

A very nice atmosphere with friendly staff. The food was reasonable quality - but good for the price. All in all a nice evening meal.

Another great meal at Antico.it was my wife's birthday so we went with the family and all had a great meal with friendly service. Thank you to the staff see you again soon

Good food, but the waiters were inattentive and the bench seats uncomfortable. Not cheap, but reasonably good value, and some unusual items on the menu.
