Fratellos Airport

Fratellos Airport brings a polished slice of Italian-leaning dining to Woolsington, Newcastle upon Tyne. It balances comfort and craft with an editorial eye for detail, offering familiar favourites alongside contemporary touches. The tone is unhurried and sociable, the kind of place where conversation flows and plates arrive with quiet confidence.

The cooking leans into bold, sunlit flavours. Hand-crafted beef and pork meatballs nestle in a caramelised onion sauce, while garlic king prawns are lifted by herbs and sundried tomato. A crisp caesar salad sits happily beside a bulgur wheat number dotted with roasted butternut squash and pumpkin seeds, both bright with citrus.

Heartier appetites are well met: think glazed confit pork belly with crackling and sautéed spinach, or a 50-day aged Black Angus rib steak, charred and proud with broccoli and chips. Pizzas range from a classic margherita to the diavola, where pepperoni and nduja bring a gentle fire. Triple-cooked chips and sautéed spinach make easy companions.

To finish, tiramisu whispers of espresso and amaretto while a dark chocolate fondant yields to vanilla ice cream. Settle in, take your time, and let the kitchen do the talking. Book a table, follow your appetite, and let your tastebuds take off.
