We had a gorgeous meal. The flavours were great, loved the atmosphere and had such kind service. Will be back!

My partner and I shared a gorgeous dinner at Osteria Papazzo. We felt very welcome from the moment we entered. Perfectly lit and with an excellent ambience, the staff were very friendly and Alessandra went above and beyond to make our night feel special. We started with sourdough and olives, our only regret is that we didn’t get the sourdough with mortadella! For mains we shared the ragu and wagyu, both cooked to perfection. After trialing the excellent selection of gin, I asked for Alessandra’s recommendation of red wine to pair with my meal and I was not disappointed. I would recommend Osteria Papazzo to anyone seeking an authentic, delicious meal in a cosy and relaxing setting. I will be coming back!

Such a uniquely charming and authentic Italian dining experience. From the moment you enter Osteria Papazzo you are instantly welcomed by smiling and caring staff, warmth, candlelight and acoustic music that instantly transports you to another world. Every single aspect of our meal was so thoughtfully and intentionally prepared, lovingly served on antique and vintage crockery. The ingredients fresh, dishes full of heart and flavour. My partner and I enjoyed fresh olives, baked sourdough, truffle cheeses, Caprese salad, pasta and gorgeous house made cocktails. Feast for the senses and food for the soul. Highly recommend for a special evening. We will be returning and absolutely cannot wait.

The closest you’ll get to Italy in Newcastle. Alessandra and Christian are a lovely couple who welcome you into their beautiful venue with genuine warmth. The food is authentic, village-style, and superbly prepared, featuring a seasonal selection of Alex’s cherished family recipes. Standout dishes include the ragu, eye fillet, and Alessandra’s homemade sourdough. The atmosphere is inviting, relaxed, and feels like home — a truly special place to share a family meal or a romantic night out for couples.

This place is the most delicious Italian ever! We went on walk in Thursday night and ate the most amazing pizza! Everything you want it to be, light, crispy, fresh, juicy amazing! The smoked buffalo mozzarella blew my mind and the family run warm gorgeous service is so refreshing in Newcastle! We walked away with warm tummies and hearts! It’s my new regular I reckon! Thank you Alessandra and team!
