REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Dave (9 November 2008)
We went to Frankie and Benny’s on Saturday night. We were not asked if we wanted a drink and had to ask for it. We were asked what we wanted for starters and got loaded potato skins, which were burnt around the sides. For the main meal we had a pizza and frankly there is more cheese in a cheese string than there was on the pizza. The service also was not very friendly and we would never eat there again, even if it was free!

Featured Group Restaurant
Nando's - Newcastle The Gate
With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
