My girlfriend and I had the most perfect date night here. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel truly looked after from the moment we walked in. Our waitress was so helpful in guiding us through the wine list and recommended a beautiful red that paired perfectly with our meal.
The food itself was outstanding, full of flavour, authentic, and beautifully presented and the portions were just right. For the quality of both the food and service, the price was amazing too.
A wonderful place for a romantic evening.
Thank you.- Service

Absolutely wonderful. The food was fresh, well portioned and tasted amazing. Service was fantastic, not constantly being approached. Just the right amount. Fairly priced. We fell lucky in getting a table as they had just had a cancellation. I'm so glad they did because I couldn't fault one single thing. Will definitely come again if ever we're passing through!

Highly recommended: the cannelloni and the homemade desserts (optionally with ice cream). Simple, clean, not so big, on the main road.

Been dining here for over 10 years and one thing you can’t knock is the consistency. Prices are extremely reasonable and the quality of the food is excellent. Good Italian food can be hard to master, but they do it right here. Always a wonderful meal and the staff are lovely - would recommend!

Lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of Alnwick. Fantastic value for the price - in the age of overpriced slop, Caffe Tirreno was a breath of fresh air. Our waitress was very friendly and lovely as well. Coming back again for more spaghetti for sure.

Alnwick Castle was our the only destiny here in this area. But after spending several hours on castle grounds we decided to find a place for eat in town. Caffe Tirreno located close to castle seemed to be a proper restaurant.
And really it was. Delicious spaghetti Carbonara, calzone and pizza that we ordered were delicious and perfect service let us feel very special.. Definitely we will come back to taste other delicacy of Italian cuisine- Service

Thank you for your comments and ratings, glad you like it.
Very good! We stumbled across this as there weren't any pubs open for lunch, but very glad we did. Friendly service and willing to check picky dietary requirements for us. The food was refreshingly good! Would recommend.

We ordered the starter and main combo and were blown away by the taste of this Italian place. I savored every drop of the cream and gravy on my plate, did not want anything wasted. The thing is, this restaurant was just happen to be near us and we were so hungry to be picky. It did not disappoint. The lady who served us was attentive and so caring too. Really appreciated the service and the food we received.

We had a wonderful dinner here - popped in before seeing a film across the road - quick service, took our dietary requirements into account with no issues, and the most delicious Italian food I've eaten outside of Italy! We had the artichoke and buffalo mozzarella to start - so fresh! The cannelloni and risotto were excellent, and the pannacotta was also great! Would highly recommend stopping by if you're in Alnwick.

Beautiful food, good size portions and excellent value for money. Good social distancing between tables, sanitiser on every table, track and trace in place. Staff, friendly and professional. Felt very safe here and very well looked after.
Lovely food with great service. A strong recommendation if you’re in the area.

Arrived around 6.30pm on a Friday night and was able to get a table. Great choices on the menu and a few additional Specials. Loved that they offered smaller plates of pasta which you could have as a starter course which whilst you see in Italy isn't common place in UK based restaurants.
Good choice of drinks. The house white was easy drinking. Water brought to the table as standard, I like that.
The pasta Picante was nice and spicy with the recommended pasta of tagliatelle. Husbands Carbonara went down well.
We both opted for the special pizza that had spicy Italian sausage and dolcie latte cheese. A white based pizza (no tomato sauce) Good pizza base and the lightly flavoured creamy blue cheese gave it moisture. The sausage wasn't very spicy but was still tasty.
The home made canoli were small and delicious particularly the pistachio and lemon ones.
Great service. Bubbly personality and smiles greeted us. The home made limoncello was excellent and very drinkable.
A lovely evening.- Food

Delicious Italian food. You can't reserve, but staff will take your name and call you when there's a free table. Effectively reserving a table at the time if you're prepared to wait . Worth it.
