Frankie Benny's New York Italian Restaurant Bar Newcastle-upon-tyne

Just had the classic meatballs.WOW. The meatballs were tasteless solid lumps. The only flavour was the herb used and one of the meatballs was hard. There was too much pasta and not enough tomato sauce although that again had no flavour. Feel as though I have eaten a car tyre.

Great staff and food was perfect as always, nice music clean cutlery and very reasonably priced meal, clean toilets and attentive staff

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my daughter. She ordered a grilled chicken wrap, but halfway through her meal, she noticed blood coming through the chicken. We informed a staff member, and the dish was taken away. It was brought back to us and we were told it was fine, but it was clear that it was not properly cooked and not suitable for eating. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

The hotel was ok and the food the same as every other Frankie and Bennys. The restaurant was kept clean.

Enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant in the early evening, with spaghetti Bolognese being the perfect choice to fuel up for a half marathon the next morning.
