Don Beppino's

Oh Lasagne World... how you value me. Although I am often afraid to order some dishes, as I cannot pronounce them, this has never stopped me from ripping into a yummy puttanesca. My fellas and I often try and go out for tea in the city, and are reliably crestfallen when popular venues are booked out. Sure, the ownice is on me for not making a reservation, but you mustn't blame a small town girl for chasing a spontaneous meal. In saying this, Lasagne World always has my back. I love eating succulent take away pasta's in Newcastle's most iconic locations, including: markettown carpark, mayfield white goods graveyard, and kooragang bp. Their pasta is always cooked as fresh as the prince of Belmont and their take away containers are so hot you could brand livestock with them. I am yet to meet the Don, but when I do, i'll give him a right handed shake. Would reccomend a trip to Lasagne World for the whole family.

Newcastle Institution This is home style Italian cooking and country hospitality at its best. I was initially a little put off because I don't like to see food in bain-maries, but the food was terrific. My husband and I tried the veal saltimbocca and a couple of pastas - parmigiana (tomato eggplant) and vodka chilli. The food was tasty, the portions were generous and the service was friendly.
