Northumberland, Mediterranean Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: A high street outfit ‘bringing a dash of Sardinian sunshine to Gosforth’, as their website proclaims – and which is well-regarded locally; they have now opened up an on-site deli, should you prefer to take away.

With its “buzzy atmosphere, friendly staff” and “good Sardinian specialities”, Roberto & Walter Pani’s deceptively “cheap ’n’ cheerful” spot is quite possibly “the best, most consistent and interesting Italian in town”. Just short of 30 years after opening, it remains for many “the go-to place when I return to Newcastle”.
