Maximo's Italian - County Durham

We had made a reservation for a table of 8 in advance, but upon arrival we were asked to wait outside until the table was ready. We were eventually seated and ordered drinks, only to be told we were at the wrong table and had to move. We waited a long time for our drinks, and two were missing and had to be reordered. Our starters were good, but we waited over an hour for our main courses which were disappointing - one was overcooked, the dessert was burnt, and another dish was served cold. After a 2.5 hour meal, we gave feedback to the owner but they did not seem interested. It was a shame that such a nice place could not provide good service, and unfortunately we will not be returning.

Flawlessly from beginning to warm welcome then drink menu in quick success starter of fishcake very good big diving sauce followed by steak perfectly boiled medium rare for me huh for my wife, the steak was great and a decent part. the chicken was just small on early bird menu the next order of the chips seasonal vegetables very freshly cooked, the rest of any good cook he or she can cook a steak sounding bright yes the sauces for both dishes to die for a great birthday tasty bites for my wife would highly recommend very clean and fantastic attentive staff well made all and management

My man and I visited maximos for Sunday dinner on 27th this month. I just want to say that it is the best Sunday dinner we spent in a long time. eating and presentation were excellent and very cheap!

This is a local kitchen that always produces good food. the atmosphere is very welcoming and the personal is professional and courteous. the menu is varied and well done! well done to all involved and we will be back!

Visited for tea with my family food ok but when we got the bill 3 orange and tap water 2.80 each absolutely disgusted at the cost of this.
