Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow, where do I start…
I visited Little Ninos yesterday as it was recommended by a friend. I love Italian food so I knew immediately I had to try this place!
When entering the restaurant I was greeted by a extremely friendly lady, I asked her for a recommendation and she pointed me in the direction of a Calzone pizza.
The food was ready within 15 minutes which impressed me for a calzone! The pizza was cooked to perfection! I’m so please she recommended this dish!
Customer service was impeccable and all of the staff were so welcoming! I even learned some Italian!
Thank you Little Ninos! I will 1000000% be back!

Oh my gosh I have never had such a nice experience in a restaurant in newcastle. The staff are absolutely amazing so lovely and helpful. The food is divine it immediately sent me back to eating in Rome. They use the same tomato sauce for everything and it is just unbelievable. Gina Luca the head chef is always in house and on great form to chat with customers. All over this is just an awesome place to go and get a great bit of food for a great price with deals for students.!!!!!!!!

Spoilt for choice with a rotating specials board plus the usual Italian favourites, using noticably fresh produce & offering full services from breakfast, cafe, lunch & dinner.
Eat in, take away options. The staff go above & beyond with my orders & are just ace. One of the few places that does fresh seafood extremely well in Newcastle. Its clean & pleasure to be in.
Simply put, great value for money & the food is the best quality.

I love the food at Little Nino's fabulous Garlic Prawns there are so many starters to choose from I usually just have a few of those. The pizza is amazing lots of choice . Different pasta sauce variations to those you would get in most Italian places.
The staff are so friendly even the take away drivers speak to everyone.
A great welcome for all their customers and the staff are very knowledgeable about the ingredients. Niot all the staff are Italian but they can understand and most can speak Italian, you could be in a little cafe in Naples.
We love going there for an intimate meal whilst shopping in Newcastle. It's proximity to the RVI means its an ideal place to go for a meal if visiting or attending the hospital.

Popped in for a bite to eat with my son not knowing what to expect as I hadn’t been before. The staff were really friendly and accommodating for my 4 year old, and the food was absolutely delicious and easily the best pasta I’ve ever had. I’m going go back ASAP to try more dishes. Thank you.

Fave spot with my 2 boys after school which is round the corner. A vibrant small family run Italian restaurant with great variety of authentic Italian dishes, the Pepperoni & Margarita Pizzas are a big hit, great pasta dishes available as Take-Away options. Serve great coffee , focaccia sandwiches and soup for lunch options too 🙏

I had the pleasure of a Little Nino’s Vegetariana pizza and it was delicious. Took back to my holidays in Italy and eating pizza there. A friend had a Penne Arrabiata and also commented on how delicious that was. Highly recommend the food and can’t wait to return!

A great little Italian cafe, not far from the city centre, offering unbelievable Italian food.
Very warm and welcoming staff, wide variety of Italian food and warm drinks to choose from, it has a lovely feel to the place.
I had a delicious pizza bolognese with homemade chips, really tasty, finished off with a very good strong flat white coffee.
I would highly recommend, great Italian food, coffee and service.

This is my go to place for Italians. The food is fantastic, never disappoints me every time I visit. I always end up getting more than I planned as I can never decide as food is just great.
My favourite has to be the pastas the sauces are to die for, the pizzas are just as delicious.
The staff are always so welcoming, friendly and chatty. I really enjoy going, once you’ve been you won’t go else where!

Lovely little takeaway near the city centre and close to the RVI hospital. I have been here several times for a quick bite to eat on my lunch break and each time I visit the service and food is exceptional. 👍

I got the pollo di Nino and it was cooked to perfection! My friend chose the bolognese pizza and this was fresh and tasted very good. For sides we ordered homemade chips and mixed salad. I will definitely be coming back again to the gem of a place!
