About Avanti

Welcome to Avanti, a cozy Italian gem tucked away at 52-54 Brentwood Ave, West Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne. This spot has been a favorite among locals for years, and it’s easy to see why. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by warm lighting, rustic décor, and the inviting aroma of freshly baked pizza and simmering pasta sauces. It feels like walking into a traditional trattoria in Italy but with the relaxed friendliness of a neighborhood favorite in Newcastle.

The menu here is wonderfully balanced, offering authentic Italian classics alongside a few modern twists. From wood-fired pizzas topped with fresh mozzarella and basil to hearty pasta dishes like tagliatelle with rich ragu, every plate feels thoughtfully prepared. If you’re after something lighter, the antipasti selection is perfect for sharing, with cured meats, olives, and cheeses that pair beautifully with a glass of wine. Guests often highlight the seafood dishes, especially the calamari, for their freshness and flavor. It’s the kind of place where you could come for a casual midweek dinner or a celebratory meal with family.

Looking at reviews, what stands out is how consistent the service is. Staff are attentive without being intrusive, often happy to recommend a wine that matches your choice or explain specials in detail. Research into hospitality trends shows that diners increasingly value this kind of personal touch, and Avanti seems to have mastered it. Families mention how child-friendly the restaurant is, while couples enjoy the intimate yet lively vibe.

The location in West Jesmond makes it a convenient spot for both locals and visitors, especially with its proximity to the metro. With its authentic flavors, diverse menu, and consistently positive reviews, Avanti has built a reputation not just as another Italian restaurant, but as a trusted dining experience where quality and atmosphere come together naturally.

“I went for my birthday meal - amazing service and the food was delicious! They gave me a complimentary cake and limoncello shots for the whole table. Would definitely go again, so friendly and attentive and very affordable food for how nice it was.”

“Avanti is my favourite place to eat - so much so that my partner complains we go there too often! The food is exceptional - in particular the gluten free options. Having celiac, eating at restaurants is often a challenge. That is not a problem at Avanti as all the pizza and pasta can be gluten free- and it’s delicious. The atmosphere is lovely - very cosy and quaint. The service is excellent. All staff are friendly and food never takes longer than 20-30mins. Overall a great establishment which I would highly recommend.”

“Where to start. Greeted upon arrival and shown to our table where we were given complimentary water. Moretti on draught, yes please. Ordered the volcano pizza which flew down like a pigeon without wings. Given a free limoncello shot to celebrate a buddy’s 21st birthday. Food excellent, service sublime, Avanti worth every penny.”

“We were backpacking through England and we met with a friend and had my birthday dinner here at Avanti. We had lots of pasta dishes over our time in England, but nothing and I mean NOTHING has ever come close to how amazingly spectacular our food was here at Avanti. My sister and I are both Celiacs...so we were over joyed that Avanti offers gluten free pasta! The server, who I think was the owner, was so kind too, he helped me decide what to have...I ordered the Cremolini pasta dish. It was so delicious. It has been a couple months since our trip and I still think about that pasta regularly. I have tried to re-create it at home but have been unsuccessful. The flavours had such depth and richness. I've never had anything like it. So please, if you get the chance...visit Avanti. You won't regret it! 11/10 :)”
