“ Gino was our server and he was absolutely beautiful! Super friendly and even asked the chef for a hint on the recipe for the red wine sauce we LOVED. We’ve never had food like it, and the dessert oh wow what can we say! Everything was absolutely amazing, 1000000% recommend. You’re missing out on such a stunning little restaurant with the most delicious food and friendly staff!! ”
“ Wonderful Greek meal at Salparo. Food was absolutely delicious, as was the cold Mythos, reminding us of our holidays of many years ago in Crete. Our server Roni was very friendly and attentive. A lovely experience. Finished off with a Rakito cocktail, far nicer than the raki shots you get in Crete. Well done Salparo. Highly recommend. ”
“ Had a fantastic meal at Salparo. Lovely ambience, atmosphere and very attentive service. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and halloumi, which were delicious. Make sure you leave room for the baklava. ”
“ We had a voucher to try this place; we can say it does not dissapoint. Food was divine. Portions are reasonable size but worth the money. It is a small restaurant but it is a lovely atmosphere and we were lucky to have a window seat. Gino was our server and he was very attentive. We will be back to try here or the sister restaurant in Jesmond Chilly Rd. ”
“ If you like greek and mediterranean food, this is an absolute must go place. Awesome food, super friendly staff, and great service. All at a very reasonable price. ”
“ Loved everything about this place. The food is delicious and so authentic. My personal favourite was the deep fried dough balls stuffed with feta and honey. The menu is a small plates sharing format. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I think finding good Greek food in newcastle is difficult so we will definitely be back! ”
“ Lovely food. Midweek walk in (one person). Three dishes were plenty. Not massive, so would book outside of quiet times. Would like more than house wine by the glass (and would go by cocktails next time). ”
“ Delicious Greek Food and Greek wine, we asked the waiter who was very helpful for recommendations and everything he suggested was just so tasty. The restaurant was busy too which is always a good sign. Would definitely recommend this place to people for amazing Greek food! ”
