What Susan likes about Sambuca:
1st time in Sambuca's... Absolutely beautiful meal Steak done exactly as I wanted it, Partners meal was excellent, as were the meals our 2 guests had. Serving staff were impeccable.. Will be going back. What ThePurespenny doesn't like about Sambuca:
The food was decent but the prices they charge doesn't justify what you get. Found the service to be relatively lack luster also. Most likely won't be visiting again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 View all feedback.

Nestled in Hartlepool, this restaurant boasts an impressive menu and friendly service, making it a popular choice for special occasions. Diners rave about the delicious food, although the noise level can be overwhelming during busy times, often detracting from the atmosphere. While staff are generally attentive, inconsistencies in service, particularly during peak hours, have raised concerns. The revamped interior enhances the dining experience, and ample parking is available nearby. Despite some notable drawbacks, including limited drink options and menu changes, many guests leave with plans to return, praising the vibrant flavors and inviting ambiance.
