If you want true Italian food like you would get in Italy this is the restaurant for you!!! I recently came here for my birthday and am already planning my next trip to Newcastle just to come back and eat here. The night I was there we had Napoli Style Garlic Bread - The bread is cooked in the woodfire oven and stuffed with garlic, oregano and mozzarella cheese, I can never eat any other garlic bread again after eating this one it is that good Margherita Pizza - The best pizza I have ever eaten, the pizza here is done in the true Napoli style, thin crust soggy middle (flip up the nose and curl in the sides) beautiful rich sauce and blobs of mozzarella cheese Pasta Alla Norma - Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente in the most amazing red sauce with chunks of beautifully cooked eggplant and ricotta Sicilian Canoli - Omg I dream about these! You get three canoli's filled with beautiful fresh ricotta. My Grandparents had another pizza and I didn't try it but they told me it was great I cannot stop raving about this place, it is my favourite restaurant in all of Australia.

I was initially a little put off because I don't like to see food in bain-maries, but the food was terrific.

From the minute you walk in for sit down or takeaway the staff are super friendly and accommodating. They really know the food they are selling to which is a refreshing change from plenty of other places around. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming without being over the top. The Ribs are right up there with "World Famous Places" like Man V's Food feature all the time. We had the Beef and Pork ribs. Both were so tender that they literally jumped off the bones and OMG so tasty... no need for any additional sauces at all. Waffle fries were as good as Jethroes in Des moines Iowa and that's quite a compliment to the owner of Adam's. These guys arent just some place that pretends to be an American Ribs and Pizza place by splashing around a few crappy souvenirs and saying they do ribs.... These guys actually go to the US every year to learn from the worlds best.... AND IT SHOW'S.... If you've never had proper American style greasy spoon comfort food before then save the money on an airfare and just visit Adam's... trust us with the super affordable prices and huge portions will make guarantee you will never want to eat elsewhere. Great job guys.. we wilk be back very soon.

From the moment we asked to see a menu the staff were warm and accomodating and found us a table quickly on a busy Friday night. I had a veal dish with artichoke, mushroom and chilli and it was amazing. My wife had garlic prawns and a margarita pizza. She loved the prawns and I tasted the pizza which was great.

I would 100% recommend this place to anybody in the area and will be bragging to my friends that I had the best wings in Australia!

Turns out I had it all wrong and full points to him! Stepping into a large space where you take a menu and choose your table. We arrived shortly after opening (11:30am on a Sunday) and sat by the window. The openness was refreshing and perfectly illustrated one of their beers (Dads with prams) as the majority of patrons had young kids in toe and accompanying prams that had easy access to tables. My partner wasn't fussed on that beer but he lacks the relevant criteria. The food is American inspired with plenty of burgers getting dished out but the beer situation is just as, if not more important. It is a brewery after all! Plenty of varieties and the option of tasting paddles. If you prefer something non alcoholic it's Pepsi not Coke. Food was served fast and hot. Garlic pizza bread to start which was massive but thankfully thin. Foghorn burger for my partner and Philly cheesesteak for me. I loved the chilli but wished there was more steak to offset the large amount of onion and capsicum. The seasoned chips were delicious. I'd definitely return for lunch in this enjoyably casual atmosphere.

One note; I am curious why the hot fries are still on the menu. A friend ordered them when I was eating with them, and she quite literally couldn't get past a single bite. Multiple of us also tried the fries and ended up having a pretty bad reaction. ITS SO HOT. A bit of a waste of money, and the menu had NO WARNING they were so hot. Our waitress didn't clarify when my friend ordered either. When we explained how hot they were she seemed unamused and said that's often how people react (like they can't eat more than a bite or two)

My estimate is that it holds about 20 people. Very cute. Service was great - so thank you. And the food was fabulous. I had the Gnocchi and loved it.
