Little Italy — Restaurant in Sunderland

Never known nowt like it, spend hundreds of pounds on a meal that was overpriced, refried chips from chippy, peppercorn sauce was like pissy water, when asked how I wanted my steak and I replied I was told that I shouldn't have it like that, they left out someone's drink and after giving them 1 mins too give them a chance I asked for it too be told he deals with the food so won't chase up the missing drink, when paying the bill give the man a round number and although even after the disgusting food and appalling service I would have told him too keep the change I never got the chance he didn't even try too give me any change, then too add insult too injury they might as well of taken our money and kicked us out. Quite honestly I thought the place was closed down as it looks derelict and really don't know how they still open, they were more interested in looking after the people at bar buying beer for the beach that the customers coming for a meal. I will learn from that mistake 🤣 it was actually comical it's a bit like faulty towers, at least we had a laugh at...

Went with my Girlfriend for a nice meal out. What we got instead was a shock. This place has been open a long time and the reviews seemed okay so we gave it a try. I had seafood salad for a starter. It was tasteless. Quite literally, tasteless. It was if they had dipped rubber in fish brine and served that with bagged salad. For main, I got the veal. It had fake grill marks on and was dry. Now the veal itself I could get away with. The sauce it was in however, was unbearable. It was sickly sweet (Coming from someone with a sweet tooth) to the point of being sweeter than treacle. The staff were friendly yet unattentive. We were never offered basic things such as black pepper or parmesan. Best part was the veg which I had to soak in butter to eat as it was dry and tough. Which I also had to flag down the waitress for. Worst Italian's I've ever been to. Should have asked for a refund but I didn't want to spoil my night more than it already had. Just to add, the place was half empty when we went, so being busy was...

My partner and I went to Little Italy on the spur of the moment when we were having a night out along the seafront. I had been there years ago and was expecting a good time. They found us a table for two. It was busy but we were left to sit for an eternity with out being asked if we wanted a drink. The staff were dashing about and they seemed really understaffed. Eventually a waiter dashed passed and asked did we have and drinks. We replied no and got us some drinks and took our order at the same time. We ordered prawn cocktail starters which was nothing special and could of been off a supermarket shelf. I ordered the grilled steak with veg. The steak was cooked lovely but the veg was not nice and the one potato I received was dry and horrible. I can't remember what my partner ordered but it wasn't earth shattering. We didn't bother with desserts and couldn't wait to get out and enjoy the rest of our night. Little Italy was a good place back in the day but for me is not a place I would personally go back...
