Booked a table for 20 for our annual Christmas outing. 2 courses for 30.00 was the deal and from the menu it seemed fair because of the season. I opted for the fois gras and turkey Christmas dinner. Starter was ok but the figs had no taste, pate was just a slither and the toasted bread was stale. Turkey dinner was just inedible, only thing cooked in an oven was the Yorkshire pudding. Everything else was either boiled or microwaved. Turkey must have been cut from an anorexic bird, sprouts, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli felt like they had just been run under a hot tap, cut into a carrot and it flew across the room. Stuffing and pigs in blankets deep fried??? And the piece de resistance…no...
Positive the restaurant is clean, service efficient, and staff courteous Negative not the homely, family run, Italian restaurant of old, when Luigi and son Paul owed this establishment. Prices excessive and quality average. For example, a sea food pizza with tinned tuna prevalent £19.70 In summary, nice venue and staff, but very business focused, with happy hour quality food, but at Cordon Bleu prices, Nearby, Uno’s Trattoria is a much more preferable establishment, in our humble opinion
Overall we had a good experience at Prima. The service was very good, staff were friendly enough and did not require a deposit for a large booking. The food is really good here, but from previous visits the price has certainly gone up quite a lot and found it quite expensive for an Italian
Loved the food, service, decor ambience. Especially loved sitting in the room under the railway arches! Risotto, pizza steak were all great. Would definitely recommend a trip to this place. Lost a star as it is quite pricey but the quality is excellent. Thanks for a lovely dinner :

Horrible went for a birthday mealno salmon at all in the salmon pasta. Very poor service. Desert horrible so disappointed!!! Was it because it was 2 4 1 would have rather paid full price for decent quality food
Prima is a real gem of a restaurant, a stone's throw from both the Quayside and from the centre of town, so definitely a convenient location but it can get
I've visited Prima on several occasions as a party of 2 and party of 35, during happy hour and for sunday lunch so its safe to say I continue going back to
Visited for works Christmas night out, 18 quid for a pizza ? Not value for money at all as I've had better from Iceland for less than a fiver

Food was ok but the female waitress spoilt the night by being patronising and rude. Don’t think I’ll be back in the future
I've now been here twice as it's our go to restaurant when we work at the Great North Run.
