"I recently visited Liosis Cafe Bar for breakfast with my grandparents, hoping for a delightful morning of catching up. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. The main issues centered around the quality of the full English breakfast. The plate arrived cold, and the bacon was notably anaemic. The sausages were of poor quality, and the poached eggs were disappointingly hard and overcooked. At a price point of £10 per breakfast, the overall quality fell short of expectations, leaving me feeling quite upset. While the coffee and juice were acceptable, the lack of attention to detail in the preparation of the main course overshadowed any positives. Additionally, our table wasn't checked on throughout the meal, denying us the opportunity to address our concerns with the staff and give them a chance to rectify the issues. In summary, my visit to Liosis Cafe Bar for breakfast was marred by subpar food quality and a lack of attentive service. For the price paid, I expected a more enjoyable experience. I hope that these points can serve as constructive feedback for improvement."

Decent menu, generally pleasant staff, food served quickly. This visit garlic bread, seafood risotto and a pasta dish with spicy sausage, washed down with soft drinks. Used to be regular visitors, not so much now.

Always delightful! Staff are always great! Food was super! We both got pizza today and loved it. I’m half Italian and feel like I’m a pizza expert (haha not really, just love pizza)! The new extension looks fab too, was really surprised! Well done Liosi’s keep up the good work! View menu

Friendly, authentic, rustic delight! Flavours were gorgeous! A real delight and a proper gem. Nice spot along Tyne but enough out of the way to be away from riff raff. Gets busy but a nice crowd. Went at 2pm on a Sat. Perfect timing as it busied up but was lovely on so many levels. Planning our return!

Absolutely stunning (for the eyes and the stomach plates of Italian cuisine, best Italian I've tasted since my visit to Sardinia in March (or anywhere in Newcastle, if not the UK! . Must try their specials (only offer on Thur-Sat , coz they are truly special! Proper Italian chefs, a real gem not to be missed.

First visit today small but nicely decorated. Young waiter was very welcoming and attentive. Good lunch menu with plenty of choices. We ordered penned vegetarian paste and linguine amatracine and a side salad. The pasta was nicely cooked and the tomato sauce well seasoned. We also ordered two glasses of merlot. The bill came under £40. Will be returning soon View menu

We found this cafe by chance during a short trip to Newcastle. We were welcomed in by the friendly staff and offered a table on the terrace. The breakfast food choice was very good and we chose some hot sandwiches and hot drinks. Both were excellent! The rolls were very unusual but very tasty. They seemed to have some type of Sicilian/Italian flavour to them. All in all, a fantastic little place in an unusual location. We’d love to return!!

We had some guests from USA staying at the Copthorn Hotel. We decided to try Liolis on Newcastle Business Park after reading some good reviews. We were not disappointed, as this is a cracking little cafe on the banks of the Tyne. The English breakfast is a combination of quality and quantity. Trust me you won’t be eating lunch after this hearty serving . The food was served with freshly baked bread . My only gripe was the tea was very weak . All in all a super cafe with outside tables looking out on the river .

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."
