Itâs been a little while since we had last visited DâAcqua and it was nice to see the new menu which has recently come in. It does look like the menu has been trimmed down a little bit since the last time that we had been here, but fear not the food is still top quality and very tasty. As always highly recommend a visit here!

My wife and I had wanted to visit this reataurant for a while but never got around to it. How much did we regret that decision.From the moment we arrived we received a warm welcome. The staff and owner were lovely. The food was superbly cooked by what ws clearly a skilled chef. The chicken shish was full of flavour and very juicy. My wifes Mousakka was equally good and the starters of paprika creamy mushrooms and home made hummus with delicious Turkish bread were equally delicious.Need we say more than the next time we eat out in Sunderland which will be soon we will be coming here.Highly recommended

Previously known as "Italia Retro Restaurant at The Board Inn"

We have eaten at this restaurant on two occasions recently, and on both occasions the food has been excellent. Each time we have arrived about 5.30pm and although not particularly busy when we arrived, the restaurant soon filed up. On our second visit we decided that the earlybird meal was inviting, so my wife went for pate' as a starter and I chose potato skins. My wife then chose stroganoff and I went for the sirloin steak with a peppercorn sauce. We both agreed that both courses were delicious, and with 2 glasses of Rose' the bill came to £41.80.which we thought was very good value. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and ambience, particularly when busy, and the staff are both jovial, and efficient. We will definately eat at The Board Inn again.

I haven't eaten in here in about 24 years when it was the Blacksmiths Table. We made a last minute booking yesterday for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant itself has been tastefully decorated and we just loved the fairy lights and candles. We thought it actually looked bigger.The food was amazing and my dessert......well I'm still thinking about the Ginger Ice cream and Warm Plum Bakewell. Well done to the chef, Lee. Well presented and very tasty. We'll definately be back.The staff were all really nice, especially Emma our waitress. Very polite and helpful.Until next time, thank you.

Had an early bird dinner around six pm. Two or three course special, Monday night.We shared potato skins and then a pizza each, very nice, too much to eat so they boxed what was left to take home. Service was very good, pleasant all throughout our meal.My only disappointment was the desert, quite a few items off the menu, my only choice was Sticky Toffee pudding with ice cream, normally that would be fine but too full to have it this time, I asked for vanilla ice cream, which seemed to be a problem, they said, I could only have one scoop with a coffee, I didnât want the coffee but that was the only way it could be put through the till, I thought I might have been able to have maybe three scoops of plain ice cream.We have provisionally booked for New Years Eve but staff couldnât say what the menu or price would be. Maybe a little late, Christmas menus have been available for a while.Dear Ian A, We are pleased to hear how much you enjoyed our great value Presto menu and that the service was also up to scratch, the confusion over dessert appears to stem from the fact that we do not offer our full dessert menu as part of the Presto offer with the only options being the Sticky toffee pudding or our 'Dolcetti' - mini desserts with a coffee, hence the offer of a scoop of ice cream with coffee. In terms of New Years eve the details are of course on the same flyer as Christmas, due to popular demand we no longer offer a set menu in favour of our regular menu along with some 'special dishes' created by our head chef.Ciao Team San Lorenzo

Visited on a Saturday evening, lovely setting with nice table layout and gentle jazz music. Food was very good, I had citron very beetroot salad to start followed my rump of lamb. My partner had the terrine followed by the sea bass. We both enjoyed the food however as a suggestion all the dishes had the same vegetables could there be different vegetables for different dishes?My partner had trio of desserts which were delicious. I must comment on the fantastic service by the young waiter team, absolute credit to the establishment. We will definitely return as great experience and real value for money.
