Biagio's Italian Kitchen

I love Francesca's restaurant. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. What more could you ask for? Be prepared to wait for a table, but you can enjoy a drink while standing and soaking it all in.

The restaurant had lovely staff, delicious food, and beautiful decor. I visited with my daughters and we ordered cannelloni, spaghetti bolognese, and penne bolognese. I ended up taking home half of my cannelloni. For dessert, we had a heavenly tiramisu and a portion of profiteroles. We had a great evening together.

Had lunch here with my wife and daughter, staff very friendly and sociable, served quickly with drinks (pinte by peroni, 1/2 peroni, diet coke and glass by prosecco) eating was beautiful, tomaten garlauch brot, smoked haddock risotto, penne arabiata, tagliatelle carbonara, and all for less than £ 50.

The food and atmosphere were excellent. The concept of being able to order half pizza and half pasta was novel and a great value for the price. The restaurant had an authentic, rustic Italian feel. The only downside was the longer than usual wait time and the inability to make a reservation. However, a long waiting queue is usually a sign of a popular and good restaurant.

Never changed always superb, authentic Italian service. The ingenious half and half is a must have. A Jesmond staple
