Italian Farmhouse Sunderland

Would recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone in or going to Sunderland or its surrounding areas It woz divine we both had the Spaghetti carbonara and my carer had the bread with caramelised onions (it looked lovely but I'm allergic to onions so couldn't try it) Absolutely gorgeous food

It's been about 6 years since I visited these parts and ate here. Despite having a lick of pain and looking even more Italian than the last time I was here, there visit this time just didn't live up to my anticipation. Firstly, I was on my own and it was a Wednesday night in May. There were only 4 other tables occupied and I w as seated at about 8:30. It's a great menu and I shot straight for the musscles, which were deliciously cooked in a cream and garlic sauce. I ordered a capriciosa pizza (I think that's how it's spelt) for main which is ham, mushroom, artichoke, and an egg in the middle. The egg is supposed to be cooked btw, it wasn't. So when I got the pizza back, the egg was cooked but the pizza was now black which ruined the taste. Now, I accept mistakes happen. The staff were all so polite too. My issue was, (a) the staff were perfectly friendly and polite but the service was very slow, so what would happen on a night tbis restaurant was busy. And (b) a chef made a mistake, we all do. But rectifying it with another mistake doesn't solve the issue. I like it here and I will come back, hoping tonight was just a one off.

Fantastic meal with excellent service. We went for the illuminations with two small kids and were very well looked after. We'll definitely be back

The food was gorgeous. We had a table for four. We all chose different things and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and welcoming and even though we hadn't booked ( Friday night) they were able to accommodate. Totally recommend this place to anyone and we are definitely going back.
