Best Italian Restaurants in Hexham
Vercelli's modern Italian dining, cocktail bar, and bottomless lunch.
Italian food has a deserved place at the heart of Hexham's dining scene.
Vercelli
Vercelli at 36-38 Priestpopple is the standout Italian restaurant in Hexham and one of the most popular in Northumberland. Family-run and resolutely independent, it serves modern Italian cuisine with a terrace for outdoor dining. Best-sellers include Pizza Nduja, Rigatoni Salmone, Chicken Pomodoro, and handmade pasta. Portions are generous.
The cocktail bar at the front hosts live music nights. The bottomless lunch includes a three-course menu with unlimited Prosecco, Moretti, cider, or gin mixers — hugely popular and books up fast. A vegan menu ensures there's something for everyone.
Rated 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor. Bookings strongly recommended at weekends — reserve via OpenTable or call 01434 603350.
31 Market Place
From the same owners as The Beaumont Hotel, 31 Market Place brings Italian-inspired small plates and authentic pinsa to the Market Place. Casual, sociable format with outdoor seating — ideal for a relaxed lunch or aperitivo.
