Welcome to Sambuca Percy Main, a friendly Italian spot on Station Rd, Percy Main, North Shields, that has become a go-to for hearty portions, affordable prices, and that cozy neighborhood charm you don’t always find in chain restaurants. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, making it just as good for a family meal as it is for catching up with friends over plates of pasta and pizza.
The menu offers a wide range of choices, and one thing regulars love is the unbeatable lunchtime deal, where you can grab a pizza or pasta dish for a fraction of what you’d expect to pay elsewhere. I tried their spaghetti carbonara on my last visit, and while it came out quickly, it still had that creamy richness you want in a classic Italian pasta. The pizzas are baked thin with just enough char on the crust to give them flavor without being too heavy, and the toppings range from traditional margherita to more indulgent meat feasts. Reviews often point out the value for money here, especially when dining out with a group.
For mains beyond pizza and pasta, there are hearty options like chicken dishes served with vegetables and chips, and the portions are generous enough that you won’t leave hungry. Their house desserts, including tiramisu and cheesecake, are simple but satisfying, rounding off the experience nicely. What stood out to me most was the friendly service—staff seem to genuinely enjoy chatting with guests, and that adds warmth to the dining experience.
In terms of location, being right in Percy Main makes it convenient for locals, with easy access to nearby transport links, so popping in for a quick meal is never a hassle. It’s the kind of restaurant where consistency and affordability matter most, and that’s exactly what you get here—good food at a price that makes you want to come back again.
