About This Place

Corsaro Ristorante Tipico Italiano is a true culinary jewel nestled in the heart of Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Guests repeatedly praise the inviting atmosphere and the genuine hospitality delivered by the courteous staff, making every visit feel special and personalized.

The menu is a masterclass in Italian gastronomy, rich with vibrant seafood dishes and rustic specialties. Start your experience with delicate scallop and prawn starters or the heavenly Baked Scallops on Bread Crumbs that crackle with fresh ocean flavors.

For pasta lovers, the Squid Ink Pasta Special and creamy Ravioli Quattro Formaggi are must-tries, delivering a symphony of textures and tastes that linger on the palate.

If you prefer something lighter but equally flavorful, the large salads such as the Insalata di Tonno with seared tuna and avocado or the Corsaro Salad featuring king prawns and burrata cheese are perfect, blending fresh, crispy greens with generous, high-quality ingredients. Corsaro’s pizzas are no less impressive, with classic options like the Margherita and flavorful creations like the Delizia, which boasts speck, nduja sausage, pearl peppers, and gorgonzola—a culinary celebration of both tradition and innovation.

The coffee offerings, including a rich Cappuccino and smooth Americano, are ideal for rounding off your meal or enjoying a casual catch-up. Guests often mention the delightful surprise of complimentary pistachio shots, a thoughtful touch reflecting Corsaro’s passion for creating memorable dining experiences.

    The seafood selection here is excellent and clearly all very fresh. We went for lunch and ordered a few starters, the sardines were wonderful and calamari very crispy yet light. There was a squid ink seafood pasta special which was delicious, liked that they had shelled everything! Also had seabass and tuna mains.

    Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was so delicious and there was loads to choose from. They had a really great range of wines on the menu too. The waiter was so lovely, with only a small number of tables it felt very personal and authentic!
