Review Coal River & Co - Newcastle

Amazing venue, delicious meals, super awesome service :) What an experience! Highly recommend!! Thanks for welcoming and treating us like family Evan! we felt super spolit!!!!! Cheers from Team BeLLCORP Property :) :) :)

The meal began with sourdough toast with grated cheese, the cheese may have been a Grana Padano. The toast was crunchy and was generously grated with cheese, the fragrant backdrop was thanks to the butter had been slathered on. The salad was akin to that of a farm picked vegetable, fresh and crisp the balance of the sourness and creaminess was spot on. The gnocchi was indulgent, every morsel was savored. The meat was tender and flavourful thanks to the tomato jus. The meat was somewhat lacking but what could you expect of a young and energetic young man? The chocolate dessert was worth the wait, if you like a freshly baked dessert, that is. The dessert takes around 20 minutes from finishing the last meal to delivery. Bask in the dark chocolate goodness, the dessert was crisp on the outside, velvety spongy throughout. As I broke through the insides, a lava of dark chocolate flowed as Mt. Vesuvius did. The semifreddo was creamy and perfectly understated in its sweetness. Two thumbs up to the staff for their attentive and prompt service.

The food was brilliant. I ordered the crab fettuccine and it was beautiful. Extremely authentic. I really like the vibe of the place and the service was really good. I loved the place would recommend.

An Italian Sydney-grade restaurant to match Norton Street, Leichhardt. Amazing food and consistently friendly staff. Their seasonal menu is tasty and creative. Every time we visit Newcastle we make sure we visit Coal River, the food and service is too good and we always leave impressed (and full!)

We went on a vacation to Newcastle. I went to dinner on Friday in time for the opening. The food was excellent and the staff were kind. I want to visit again next time. I think you have to make a reservation for the weekend evening.

I was looking for an Italian restaurant that made their own pasta and Coal River did not disappoint. I had the blue crab fettuccine and my partner had the pasta and meatballs. It was probably one of the best pasta dishes I had ever eaten. We talked about it for days. We thought surely if the pasta was that good their pizza would be amazing. Unfortunately, we weren’t too impressed with the pizza…. We’ll stick with the pasta 👍🏼

Great place to visit, very busy and cosy. Had to wait for a table even on a rainy Wednesday night. Food was excellent and came out quickly. Service was friendly. Try the Wagyu bresaola, it was a real standout.

The food, atmosphere and staff are just amazing It really is the best Italian in Newcastle 😍 Only downside is the wait time on waiting list, but I can say it was well worth it!!

Quite possibly the best service, food and wine I've ever experienced. The staff are so happy, friendly and accommodating. Our meals were so authentic, delicious and came out so fast! And that wine!! I've never made a review for anything, but this place was so amazing yet still affordable and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable night out. Thank you Coal River & Co! Keep doing what you do.

We had wanted to try Coal River & Co for some time. On Saturday night four of us went for dinner. The food was amazing it was 5/5. Unfortunately the service did not match the quality of food. We all felt the service was poor and unfortunately that is the first thing that comes to mind from our night out.

Service was great and the food delicious! The highlight of the evening was certainly the gnocchi with Baba Ghanoush, eggplant and zucchini crisps. What a great and innovative take on gnocchi. We loved it and will be back next time we are in Newcastle.

A magnificent meal with some incredible buffalo mozzarella deep-fried and crumbed and some beetroot cured trout to start that was beautifully presented and amazing to taste. We couldn’t decide and our waitress came up with a cunning plan to share. Our pasta mains and desserts were also brilliant. Very rare I order 3 courses. Service was impeccable even though they were understandably busy they made us feel special. Loved it! Wine was also top quality and reasonably priced.
