D’Acqua

Here's a more positive post: I hope they find buyers who will look after the restaurant, maintain its standards, and perhaps put their own positive stamp on it. It is one the best places to eat in Sunderland, and while I have no commercial interest in it I do as a consumer (I'm going this weekend, as it happens). Sunderland, where quality restaurants are few and far between, needs places like this to thrive.

We took the bairn to the one near Nandos. Pottering about the town and went in out of curiousity as much as owt else.

£10 for adults, £5 for kids. £3 for refillable drinks. All the pizza and ice cream you can eat. I forced a pizza's worth down, our lass and the bairn had a few slices each, me and the bairn had an ice cream each.

The price doesn't really make sense like, like you say it's not easy to eat a load of pizza.

It won't be open for long. Daft idea. I'd rather just buy one freshly cooked pizza.

As for D'acqua, it's had a great run and hopefully a new owner might keep up the required standard.

Sadly I think they might struggle to sell it as a going concern as they'll instantly lose most/all their staff such is the nature of the business. Good luck to them though.

You can say that again.

Yeah I agree. Seems a nice enough place. The bairn's 6 and liked it more than he would have liked being sat in Frankie & Bennys or Divinos (both would've been comparible on price) when they were open. I could see it being popular with teenagers who might get a few quid off their parents and head out, but aye I'm not sure whether there's that market there for it.

Things come and go all the time. It's hidden away in some backstreet. Nobody would notice if it was shut tomorrow. I'm sure it has it's regulars but life goes on.

I noticed Frankie & Benny's is stood empty now - is that a big miss?

I quite fancy trying the scallops and carrot cake some fucker had a twist about on trip advisor.
