Tuscany

Tuscany is located on East Parade, on the seafront in Whitley Bay. This is a fantastic Italian restaurant which tends to source it’s ingredients locally. I have never been disappointed with a meal from here. The portion sizes are generous and the quality of the food is excellent, very fresh and tasty. The staff there are really friendly and very accommodating – we’ve celebrated a few birthdays there and they have helped us organise surprises. The menu is very varied, not just sticking to the bog standard pizzas and pastas, they branch out into other more interesting dishes, their specialities include roasted monkfish with grilled lettuce, red pepper relish and polenta. Porchetta, a Tuscan-style pork roast with fennel, herbs and garlic, and Tuscan braised beef. I’m a big fan of the pizzas here though. Menu prices are about average for an Italian restaurant and they do also have happy hours. The décor inside is great, very rustic and cozy. A great place to dine.
