The Prima Restaurant Menu at 40-46 Side, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 3JA, United Kingdom, offers a delightful dive into Italian cuisine in one of the city's most iconic and atmospheric dining locations. Nestled within a beautifully vaulted cellar space, Prima delivers a memorable combination of warm hospitality, stylish surroundings, and a menu that balances traditional favorites with modern flair.

From the outset, the menu impresses with its variety. Diners can expect an expansive selection of pasta dishes, stone-baked pizzas, antipasti, meat and seafood mains, and classic Italian desserts. The pasta carbonara, for instance, is rich and creamy without being overly heavy, with pancetta that adds a smoky depth. The lasagna is also a standout-layered generously and baked to perfection. Pizza lovers will appreciate the thin, crispy base and well-balanced toppings like prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, and rocket.

What sets Prima apart is the consistency in both presentation and flavour. Ingredients taste fresh, portions are generous, and the service is attentive yet relaxed-ideal for a leisurely dinner or a celebratory gathering. Their set menus offer excellent value, especially during lunch hours or for larger group bookings. In comparison to other Italian spots in Newcastle, Prima excels in its combination of ambience, quality, and affordability.

Drinks-wise, the wine list is appropriately Italian-leaning, featuring crowd-pleasers alongside a few lesser-known regional selections. The dessert menu brings a sweet end to the experience-try the tiramisu or the panna cotta for a traditional finish.

In summary, Prima Restaurant offers not just a meal but a full dining experience. The Prima Restaurant Menu captures the essence of Italian comfort food with a refined twist, making it a top recommendation for locals and visitors alike seeking a taste of Italy in the heart of Newcastle.
