Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Newcastle

Food at Lola’s is always superb. Today, I had the lamb kebab and it was terrific. I would have loved it to be less sweet, but it was still really good!

Service was phenomenal and timing of food and drinks being brought out was great. We liked how small it was and maintained a very intimate setting. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate us with no problem. Burrata, paella, and risotto were all very good.

I told our waiters, who was FANTASTIC, that after going to many restaurants on Queen Anne over the past 30 years, that Grappa is one of the only ones that I can say has continued to trend upwards in Service, Quality of Food and consistency. While almost all others up here have become stagnant in those areas, Grappa has become a Go-To restaurant.

What a great dining experience, surpassed only by the quality of the food.

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!
