Since 1997, La Fornaretta has been thrilling our customers with authentic Sicilian cuisine, prepared from scratch using the finest ingredients imported from Italy and the freshest meats, poultry, fish and produce from local merchants, all served in a warm and friendly environment. Part of a family tradition dating back over 35 years, our special combination of traditional Italian hospitality and wholesome, delicious food has made us Newcastle's year-round choice for affordable, casual dining. Located in a historic fruit-packing shed, in an atmosphere which brilliantly merges rustic Sicily and Old California, La Fornaretta offers comfortable, climate-controlled indoor seating, with additional al fresco dining on our patio, and a Banquet Room for private and corporate events. Salute!
