Adrianos Deli

A restaurant with serious Mediterranean flair, Adriano's is warm, inviting and it has the buzz of somewhere genuinely special.

Bringing a dash of Sardinian sunshine to Gosforth, Adriano Addis, the man behind the much-loved former Da Vinci's of Jesmond, has created a modern yet welcoming restaurant, which retains a rustic feel despite its chic design.

A comfortable lounge area, intimately lit, accompanies a large, roomy restaurant complete with an impressive semi-open kitchen and wood burning pizza oven something of a rarity so that you really get the feel of the restaurant. Throughout there is a pleasing mix of old and new.

A dramatic fireplace and black and white photographs of rural scenes from the old country combine with sleek wooden tables, a fetching glass atrium and sensitive modern lighting. Around this the friendly, knowledgeable staff move with grace and efficiency between the busy diners.

Relaxing yet vibrant, Adriano's seems to achieve the two almost simultaneously.
