Sambuca - Menu

I went to Sambuca whitley bay and had excellent service from two staff called louie and Jenny I would fully recommend this restaurant as it is was exceptional

Absolutely stunning, the beef simply melts in your mouth. Excellent value for money, outstanding service with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place.

Had the 3 course set lunch. Nice soup, good meatballs, excellent sole with lemon and garlic, decent salad, tasty chicken with pepper sauce, lovely home made big chips, v reasonably priced drinks, v good service. 100%recommend View menu

Terrible service. Me and my partner where having dinner with our newborn baby. We hadn 't finished our meal and my partner was just walking around with our baby trying to stop her crying, then all of a sudden they came over and said you have you leave because yous are intoxicated! And made us leave! Whitley bay is a lovely place but I 'll not return to this restaurant

Garlic bread to share fabulous, thin crust, we all had filet steak with prawns and chilli off the specials board. Very tasty , good price. Bottle of house red £13.99 unbelievably good ! Cheap and cheerful type of place. We all had our steak cooked differently from rare to well done and they all arrived at the same time cooked to perfection, some high end places struggle with that! Definitely recommend, well done that Chef

4 of us went here for a Saturday night out. I had heard bad stories about the place but was surprised by how much better it was than I expected. Yes the person who greeted us downstairs has no customer service skills, but once we were allowed up things changed a bit. We had a pleasant enough table. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. For what you pay the food is reasonable. I had a calzone pizza. The pastry was a bit hard but otherwise fine. If you are after a cheapish night out its worth going. View menu

Sorry guys, the galic bread was great, thin cripy nicely done but my pasta was awful, I ordered linguine and got spaghetti, the sauce was essentially water that had been shown a tomato and the seafood like rubber. Worst of all a small glass of house white, takes a lot for me to give up on the wine (seriously revolting) and the food. Maybe I should have gone for pizza? For the price I actually got a slice of my companions garlic bread and a few forks of pasta. We both tasted the wine as well, it wasn’t just me.

I am very disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. I have visited many times in the past but the quality has significantly declined. The Sunday lunch used to be enjoyable, but this time the beef was tough and difficult to cut. Additionally, the lack of heating on one of the coldest days of the year and the excessively loud music were unpleasant. We had planned to host our Golden wedding celebration with 30 guests there next year, but now we are considering going to Cassia Sambuca instead, where we have always enjoyed great food. It was also noticeable that the restaurant was not as busy as it used to be on a Sunday. Perhaps a change in management or chef is needed.

I called ahead to make a reservation and inquire about gluten free options. I was informed that they offer gluten free pasta and pizza, and that other dishes could be adapted. When we arrived at our reserved time, the restaurant handed us menus. The furniture appeared worn out and the leather on the chairs was peeling off. We ordered drinks, but it took 20 minutes for someone to come and take our food order. Despite several staff members standing around, only one was taking orders. When I finally placed my food order, I was disappointed to learn that the only gluten free option was pasta, as they did not offer gluten free pizza bases. I ordered the gluten free carbonara, but found the bacon... View menu
