"Last weekend was the first time we've used this place and chose it based on other reviews. All our tastes vary so I'll be as objective as possible. My wife doesn't like spicy food so opted for vegetable spring rolls followed by stir fry satay mixed seafood egg fried rice both of which she enjoyed very much. I went for spiced belly pork to start which was good and followed that with mixed seafood special with coconut rice and found it disappointing. It was not spicy at all and the sauce it was in far too watery."

"The service was very poor not sure if they were under staffed. Main meals came with the wrong pasta they admitted they did it wrong as they served us. Everybody getting there main so just said OK we will keep it. Then no dessert menu given. We were massively over charged by £30 on final bill. They put 7 drinks on our bill we didn't get so had to have the bill changed. We asked for the bill and waited 40 minutes for it. I have been here loads of times and don't get why a good place to eat is now so bad. My advice is check your bill and maybe go somewhere else I will be in the future."

"I recently visited the Sunday Market at South Shields and decided to stop by Suzies cafe for a coffee. After finding a parking space, my husband went to order while I enjoyed a hot vegetable soup. Both of our choices were really enjoyable. As we sat in the car, we noticed a car pulling into a disabled bay without a disabled badge and not paying. As a disabled person myself, I always make sure to display my badge. Soon after, another car parked next to us in a regular bay without paying as well. As we were leaving, we saw two traffic wardens approaching the cars and hoped that they would get a ticket."

"We traveled from Nottinghamshire to Daniela's after Googling "best fish and chips in Sunderland," and wow, Google was spot on! My husband and I both ordered fish and chips (he had haddock, while I opted for the cod) and both dishes were freshly cooked to order and absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. We decided to dine in, and they provided proper cutlery along with our own salt and vinegar for the table. The entire place was spotless and welcoming. We will definitely return the next time we are in the Northeast. Many thanks to Daniela!"

"We have been eating here on a regular basis for a while now. We have taken friends as well as just going as a couple. It is positioned above the Jolly sailor pub so beware there are stairs to climb. There are seats as you enter along with a bar and a room at the back as well. Paula has a wonderful display of photographs from Italy on display to give it a more authentic feel.We have always been warmly welcomed by the staff and you definitely should book to avoid disappointment, they do have a lot of regulars.We have also visited on special occasions such as Halloween, Valentine's Day and new Year's Eve. On these occasions there are always additions to the usual menu or in the case of NYE a set menu which had to be pre ordered.There are always home made bread buns awaiting you followed by another treat on the house. The menu is varied and there is always a specials blackboard. The starter selection is varied but if you plan a dessert go hungry as the starters are definitely not mean portions.We have tried pretty much all the menu between us and whether your taste is pizza, pasta, meat or fish you will not be disappointed. A dish of either veg of gorgeous chunky chips comes with your main from the meat and fish and a side of salad is enough for two should you opt for that.The desserts are very reasonably priced and often have a seasonal special on them. Coffees are a good price and the wine selection is varied and again a decent price. There are a few typically Italian cocktails on offer too.At the end of the meal you are offered a digestif to set you on your way. We have been in a large group for an outing and they cope steadily with delivery of the meals to all without a long gap.The real draw is the friendly welcome and the kindness the staff display along with the obvious hard work to please the customers.Alex has a dry wit and is delighted if you have a good evening.There is a happy hour from 5 with 25% off menu prices.It is closed on a Sunday except for special occasions."
