Pani’s Café Bar is a standout destination for anyone seeking a taste of authentic Sardinian and Italian cuisine in the heart of Newcastle. Nestled at 61-65 High Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 6BX, the restaurant has carved a loyal following, thanks to its inviting ambiance and a genuinely home-cooked feel across its dishes.

The Pani's Italian Menu captures the essence of traditional Mediterranean fare with a Sardinian twist. From the moment you walk in, the warm, family-run atmosphere is immediately noticeable, setting the tone for a relaxed, unpretentious dining experience. The menu features a robust selection of antipasti, handmade pasta, meat and fish options, and a strong vegetarian offering. Signature dishes like the Malloreddus (a Sardinian gnocchi with sausage and saffron) or the Fregola con frutti di mare showcase both regional flair and balanced seasoning.

What sets Pani’s apart from many Italian eateries is the consistency of execution and the evident passion behind each dish. Portion sizes are generous without compromising quality, and ingredients feel fresh and thoughtfully sourced. The daily specials often highlight seasonal variations, demonstrating culinary agility without losing authenticity.

Comparatively, while many Italian spots in the city lean heavily on the mainstream, Pani’s offers something more genuine-less commercialized, more soulful. Pricing is fair and accessible, especially given the city-centre location, making it ideal for casual diners and regular patrons alike.

In sum, Pani’s Café Bar delivers a well-curated Italian menu that balances rustic charm with elevated execution. For lovers of Italian food-or those curious to explore Sardinian cuisine-it’s a must-visit. Whether you're stopping by for a leisurely lunch or a hearty dinner, Pani’s proves why it’s a beloved fixture in Newcastle’s dining scene.
