Parm-O-Rama

You're on Chillingham Road in Heaton, and you've walked into the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Parm-O-Rama does one thing—Italian-style parmigiana—and does it properly, which is rarer than you'd think round here. The menu's refreshingly tight, focussed dishes that clearly know what they're doing, and the ratings speak for themselves. It's the sort of neighbourhood spot locals keep coming back to because the food's honest and the vibe's genuinely welcoming, not trying-too-hard. Order online or pop in, grab something proper, and you'll understand why people rate it.
