Every Sambuca is a neighbourhood Italian: a table for two on a Tuesday, the whole family on a Sunday.

It all started at Union Quay in 2001, looking out over the Tyne. Over the years we’ve opened our doors in town centres, by the coast and along the river, from Morpeth to Middlesbrough. Each one is part of its local community, and each one has the same warm welcome.

From first dates to fiftieth birthdays, there’s always something worth celebrating.

A steak cooked just how you like it, a pizza to share or Sunday dinner with all the trimmings: our tables have hosted birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and plenty of ordinary evenings that turned into good ones.
