A visit with my Mam and Dad on a return trip to my hometown and this little ristorante did not disappoint. A homely feel to the place which is above a local pub. A specials board and what appears to be a regular Italian menu - however the food that we were served was beyond that. We ordered a variety of starters garlic breads and main courses - each and every plate was delicious - creamy sauces, soft tasty garlic bread, steak cooked to your exact liking with a specific sauce to suit - all served by friendly attentive staff. Each table was full with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Lovely coffee to finish and if you have room for desert then go ahead they look amazing. Thank you very much if I get the chance I will be back

We used to regularly have Sunday lunch at Papas Tapas when they were based at The Isis and were disappointed when they closed. Overjoyed to see them now established at The Copt Hill. Still the same first class Sunday lunches (but now a carvery) and warm welcome.Best roast beef dinner ever! Cheers boys, see you again soon.

We were staying in Sunderland for the World Transplant Games and decided to treat ourselves. We visited Shandiz as we wanted to try food we'd never tried. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is a little worn around the edges. The waitress was fabulous . So helpful , friendly and accommodating. We ordered our food and wow! When it arrived, my taste buds exploded.the food tasted so good it was some of the most delicious food I've had. I can't wait to be in Sunderland again.

Food was good, had the roast lamb which was a good sized portion and very tasty. However service throughout was poor. Long wait to order mains, didnât bring drinks we ordered (had to chase) and were left waiting after main course. Restaurant wasnât heaving, so surprised at level of service.

Mid-week family visit when on holiday. Rustic environment, nothing that a lick of paint wouldn't cure. However staff not generally not interested in what I was ordering. Menu was basic UK adapted Italian. We ordered Muscles (wine/garlic) - very bland. Also the chicken Milanese didn't come with any napoli sauce (so basically dried deep fried chicken in breadcrumbs) - had to order the sauce seperatly (at cost). The restaurant would also not swap out chips with spaghetti - how unaccommodating. Only saving thing was the home double cooked (I presume) chips were nice to accompany my chicken/white wine main.Uneventful food/atmosphere/restaurant. Surely others are better.....As soon as I read âstaff not interested in what I was orderingâ I realised this review is simply not genuine. How muscles or rather mussels can be bland when served with garlic is mystifying. Pollo Milanese is not served with tomato, leastways not where the owner of Tosca comes from, which is actually Italy, yes a real Italian running an Italian restaurant, a rarity these days. Wonât bother responding to the rest of this review which is obviously from a competitor.TA just look to the previous review if you want a genuine Tosca experience, not this tissue of lies.

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
