Dolcella - Northumberland

Very long wait for food, salad leaves gritty. Was the loud rap music for the benefit of the staff or the customers? Shan't be going back.

Now cafe piazza, terribly slow, food tiny in portions, 1 tablespoon of beans on the jacket potatoes and other meals mixing ingredients and undercooked jacket potatoes

I received my food after my dining companion had already finished theirs. It was burnt, so I made the decision to leave and go to Greggs instead. The staff appeared to be quite flustered and disorganized. I have no plans to come back to this restaurant.

Sun was shining, so myself and my daughter decided to sit for lunch, very soon we realised that there was a shortage of staff, and the three members that were there were stressed, not very convivial, but the sun was shinning, so we stayed, ordered at the counter, I had an antipasto board, when it eventually arrived it was dreadful, 3 ingredients were missing, olives, sun blushed tomatoes and basil, the Italian meats were on vet thin slice of salami, cooking pepperoni, and vet thin couple of slices of Parma ham, a quarter of pepper, some crumbled mozzarella and at least nice bread, not worth £6.95, my daughters panini was better but missing the marinara sauce, I did complain, and was no charged for my meal, coffee was nice. Will not be returning

Went here for the first time last week, the staff were friendly and the service was fast. I heard it's good value but I wouldn't know because the lovely person I was with paid for me, so...!
