"Prima is our go to Italian restaurant and it is always spot on. We dined here yesterday for my boyfriend’s birthday and the food was so good. We had a cheesy garlic bread which was excellent (cheese pulls were insane) and skinny fries. For mains we had the linguini paolo and the Mexicana risotto, which were both amazing. My go to is the linguini paolo and I can’t actually count how many times I’ve had it, it’s so good! We also had some strawberry daiquiris which were really nice and well presented. I’d definitely recommend dining here"

The location is large, there are many seats, the food is good, and the service is friendly, but the price is a bit expensive. View menu

Our dinner was a few months ago and I have very fond memories of it. The servers were adorable and efficient. The dishes were generous and very successful. This is a good place in Newcastle to eat Italian cuisine. I recommend!

Food amazing. Getting showed to our table when manager stopped us and told us no you can't sit in there. Then let next 3 tables go through. They hadn't booked either. For him to dance and slyly laugh at us . Rest of staff were wonderful though View menu

Great atmosphere. Busy but not too noisy. Had garlic bread which was really good, and marinara pizza. Also very good. Partner had seafood linguine which was packed with prawns. Friendly staff. Good service. On the pricey side for an Italian but worth it for the good quality food.

I have visited this restaurant many times in the past and been very happy, but feel the prices have shot up since our last visit. No complaints about the food or service however I don’t feel the prices are justified. There are cheaper Italian restaurants in Newcastle, where the food is as good, if not better.

"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."
