SICILIAN FLAVOUR

SABATINI Ristorante on the Quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne has gained a reputation for the quality of its Italian, particularly Sicilian cuisines.

It has a chocolate and cream decor with good lighting and the full wall mirror makes it appear double its size.

The Brisk, hard-working and efficient serving team always offer a cordial welcome.

Grilled mixed vegetables an the Insalata tiepida cel contadino make very acceptable starters.

There is an excellent fillet glazed with a brandy, lobster and crayfish sauce and served with an al dente vegetable side dish of cauliflower, beans, carrots and potatoes.  The veal with Parma ham, deep-fried sage served on a well-seasoned mound of creamy arborio rice is also very good.

A panettone pudding with spiced sultanas and vanilla ice cream is a great dessert.  Others may prefer the profiteroles with choux pastry and chocolate butter icing.

There is street parking outside of Sabatini’s, but is probably best to use the nearby multi-storey car park in Dean Street.  Sabatini’s is only partially accessible to disabled customers.

It is open from 10:30 to 22:30 on Mondays to Saturdays.

Sabatini’s is near the Newcastle’s iconic Tyne Bridge and can be contacted on 0191 4415
