Six years ago, a much-loved Italian restaurant and patisserie that had sat beside a railway bridge in Newport for decades closed its doors.
Gemelli was famed for being among the best restaurants in Newport with its traditional Italian cooking and spectacular pastries earning twin brothers Pasquale and Sergio Cinotti many plaudits. A sister restaurant in Spytty proved very popular and brought in crowds with its increased capacity.
But Gemelli's closure on Clytha Park Road was to be simply a hibernation. In 2018, the small unit reopened as Gem42, promising a new art cuisine experience, a culinary concept that aims to stimulate diners' five senses over the course of a meal.
