Pizzeria Francesca

What an amazing restaurant in Newcastle. When you enter the restaurant it feels like entering Italy with the nice interior and music. Besides, the food was amazing. I mostly recommend the pasta arrabiata: it was so tasteful and so unique! Our whole dining experience was just perfect from the vibes, to the nice staff, to the food.

Went for a dinner date on a Tuesday, nice and busy restaurant with fast service. Very welcoming, accommodating & efficient staff. Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure!

We love it here, fab vibe on a weekend - you'll have to queue as walks in only but that's all good as it moves fast since there's a lot of tables and you can drink in the queue - I recommend a limoncello spritz. Fave thing about here is the half pizza half pasta option and you don't need to split with a friend either so you get exactly what you want, been a few times and fave combo is tbe pepperoni pizza and pesto pasta

Had to cue as it was so busy but that was not a problem, once seated service was super fast, staff were amazing and very friendly nothing was a problem, atmosphere inside was lovley, the food was beautiful cannot fault it and plenty of it the portions were huge. Planning my next visit already.

They saved us from freezing to death as other restaurants in Jesmond were fully booked or closed on a Friday night. We were seated very quickly despite the length of the queue, and their food was really good. I’ve never had tomato-based vongole pasta before, so that was something new to try. The staff were very helpful and friendly as well.

Really nice authentic Italian restaurant, excellent food and value for money. Great friendly service..

Real Italian family run restaurant serving authentic food. You won’t be disappointed!!! I had the Melanzana parmigiana which was to die for. And a super nice pizza 🍕 Definitely recommend

Lunch on a busy Thursday. Staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient, food is excellent and good value for money. Just like being back in Italy for a little while! Special mention to our waitress from Lithuania, didn't get her name, very friendly and obliging.

Another excellent meal at Francesca's. One of our first meals out since the lockdown. They have barriers up between tables, visors worn by the staff and the prawns as good as ever. See you again soon!

Great food large portions for a great price. The line can be long, hard to find a parking space and it can get a little hectic but it is worth it. Try the lasagna or half pasta/half pizza.

This is a Pizzaria at its authentic best. Everything thats served here is from Italy, and everything is deliciously made. I hated pastas before I visited this place. Great service, great food. A nice place to chill out with friends without digging too much into your pockets.

Expect a queue from 5.30/6pm onward to eat at this non-booking Italian. Despite the name, it's a full menu of pizza, pasta and entrees. You can expect a warmer welcome from the younger staff, yet service is efficient all-round. It's Italian run and has a classic feel, even if the decor is slightly souped up much the way anything Irish is ultra green once you leave the country. But it's comfortable, bustling and family-friendly, and very good value for money. Food was tasty even if the pasta was less than al dente, but the portions were enormous, and we weren't waiting. Get there early though or you can expect to wait for a table - which let's face it is its own best endorsement for any restaurant.
