Deano's Trattoria - Gateshead

I had been wanting to try the Tuesday night buffet for ages. I thought that if there was quite a few dishes to try I could try something new and see if I liked it or not. The starters were really nice but I did think there would be more choice of main dishes to try. There was only 2 I tried as I don't like hot dishes. I think even adding a couple more dishes would be good. But it was still good value and still had a great night.

I had a great time at this restaurant. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The red wine was also good. I will definitely come back.

I recently visited this restaurant with my family and we all enjoyed our meals. We ordered a variety of dishes including steaks, chicken, risotto, and kids meals, and they were all cooked perfectly. I typically get nervous ordering steak at restaurants because I worry it will be too fatty or not cooked to my liking, but that was not the case at Deano's. We all cleaned our plates and even had room for dessert. Highy recommend this place!

The restaurant has a charming and cozy decor. The menu is affordably priced and meets expectations for the cost. However, the food was a bit bland. I ordered the carbonara, which was very oily with the butter separating from the sauce on my plate. The Mediterranean toasted bread with cheese I ordered as a starter was simply a baguette with melted cheese. For two courses at around £9, it's a good deal, but there are better Italian restaurants out there.

OK food but the waitress forgot parts of the order so we had to wait some time. We had give message twice after the original order that we were still waiting on all the food.
