My husband and I just loved this restaurant. We had a 2 day stay in Newcastle, (Slieve Donard) and both nights we went to this cosy little restaurant. We were made so welcome and the food was not only delicious but top quality and large portions. They had to roll us out of there. The prices were so cheap, too bad it is not in Australia we would eat there every night. The staff were so friendly, and the owner is a genuine and lovely person. I would rate this 10 if I could.
Villa Vinci never disappoints. Food & service is always 1st class. It’s our go-to place when treating friends. Celebrated a few birthdays there. Can confidently recommend.
Called in today again and feel I need to leave a review...
Amazing staff, great surroundings, and the food well it speaks for itself I'd advise anyone wanting great food, nice atmosphere great service and at a great price get yourself to villa Vinci in Newcastle been there quite a few times and never disappoints brilliant wee place ����
Staying in the Slieve Donard for the weekend and thought we’d give a few other restaurants a go, booked here on our second night. Absolutely one of the best restaurants we’ve ever eaten in! Starters arrived promptly, mains were perfect and portions were huge! Definitely fantastic value for money and the nicest staff, nothing too much for them! Loved it & will deffo be back!

Great service from great staff and food was served quickly, despite it being a busy day �
one of the top three restaurants I've ever eaten at in the US or the World. I ate their four times in the past week.
My daughter and i were staying over in the slieve donard decided to check out Villa Vinci as recommended well they were right food amazing service was 1st class and the price was very reasonable more than happy to defo recommend it myself and to eat there again����
First experience at Villa Vinci and it was simply amazing. Great atmosphere, extremely pleasant and accommodating staff and above all the food was delicious. Highly recommend this establishment for anybody visiting Newcastle. 10/10
This was my first experience in Villa Vinci and it was excellent the staff were very friendly the food was superb and as a bonus it was great value for money we will definitely be back 👍🏻 😀
Excellent food, lovely staff and quick service. Food portions, particularly for the kids, are generous and well priced.
If your are coming here, book in advance to avoid disappointment, as it is always busy.
absolutely delicious, we had a sloppy pizza, cajun chicken pizza, and a gluten free spicy Italian sausage pasta, good portion sizes.
It was really busy we we arrived and we hadn't booked but they did manage to get us a table, service was good and was not long waits for our food to arrive.
Would we recommend, definitely
Manager is the heart and the soul of this place . We felt so welcome. Food is excellent
Dogs not allowed inside but outside was also cozy
Could not get through on the phone to book a table however, I walked around and it was clear to see why they couldn't answer. They were full.
The staff were great and were able to get us a reservation. Upon arrival our table was ready, a space for a wheelchair was already made and a baby highchair in place. This meant there was no fuss/attention drawn to us.
As I already said the staff were great all of them, friendly and professional. As for the food, well we all loved our meals to the point we were boasting how our meal was the best choice.
So wheelchair and child friendly, situated in a good location. Staff great and food amazing, highly recommend.
Food and service were very good. At certain times it's very busy so I'd recommend booking.
We had a pasta and pizza dish, both were excellent. As others have mentioned this place is popular as nice restaurant food seems to be a rarity in Newcastle and people flock to this place.
Vegetarian options are very limited but i have found this is often the case in rural Ireland.
A great evening celebrating a big birthday. On a busy Saturday night staff were very attentive and the food was just amazing. Also good value (hard to find these days). I had a lovely scallop & black pudding starter. For my main I had pappardelle alla Bistecca Thin slices of Angus sirloin steak pan-fried with bacon and mushrooms finished in a caramelised butter, Pecorino & Reggiano cheese and wilted baby spinach sauce tossed through Pappardelle pasta delicious!! I thoroughly recommend!

There is a reason why you have to book in advance and that is because this is the best restaurant in Newcastle. The pizza, service and cleanliness were all fabulous for a very reasonable price as well, so I will definitely return when back in Newcastle.
Went out for a family birthday party. Lovely food and fantastic staff. Recommended if you're in Newcastle county down.
Nice little restaurant with decent quality food. The staff were very helpful and the service was really fast. The pizza in particular was really good with generous portions for the kids.
BRILLIANT!!!!! Amazing staff, super friendly. Go every weekend with family. Amazing food and service. Couldn’t love it more :))
Beautiful restaurant with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Several good vegetarian options. Pizza was delicious and good value for money. Staff helpful and polite.
Beautiful food
Friendly staff
Great selection of food
Will definitely be back
Salmon with champ is excellent. Good service and good selection of meals. Usually needs booked but we go at 6 ish and be taken straight away. Recommended.
My sister in law and I dined in the restaurant on Oct 2nd and enjoyed the whole experience. We had the lasange seviced with the nicest giabatta bread I had ever tasted. The portion of food was huge and we thought we wouldn't be able to finish it but we did as it was so good. Owner very much involved with the whole operation and staff were friendly and efficient. It was a customers birthday and they brought out a little cake and sang to her. Atmosphere was great and place was full on a Monday night!! Highly recommend this restaurant. 🙂
Starters and specials were first class and good value. I wouldn't typically go to Italian restaurants as I am not overly fond of pasta or pizza as an evening meal out. Pleasantly surprised at the selection of small plates/starters. I will be back when next in the area. Book on advance as it is very popular in the evenings.
Amazing food and service. Highly recommended. We sat outside in the good weather. A little pup stopped for a well deserved drink while his family enjoyed the food. I will definitely be back.
Really good service and really good food. Highly recommend checking it out if you're near Newcastle. The brie wedges were the star of the meal. Go try.
