Very enjoyable meal! This restaurant is clearly doing something right, because it was pretty much full from when we arrived at half six until near eight o'clock at which point the tables were beginning to empty - and this on a Wednesday evening. Despite being busy it wasn't too noisy to hold a decent conversation.
There's a very good choice on the menu, from budget pasta dishes to sirloin steaks. We had starters (a good minestrone and a particularly good prawn cocktail), pasta for mains and sweets.

Read moreLocated up an alley just off the Front Street, Deano's is Chester-le-Street's hidden gem of a restaurant. Italian is my favourite cuisine and I've eaten a heck of a lot of it over the years, and the food at Deano's is way up there with my favourites. The restaurant has a warm and homely vibe with a friendly, casual atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and food is served quickly and piping hot no matter how busy the restaurant is. All dishes I've tried so far have been excellent to exceptional with all friends and family saying the same. Prices are very reasonable, possibly too cheap considering the quality of the food! Chester-le-Street's hidden gem, definitely...
