Italy has a reputation for romance and an Italian kitchen-brewery in Gateshead is drawing inspiration from both Valentine's Day and our passion for beer to create a menu first which it hopes diners will love.
Doppio Malto in Gateshead Metrocentre has announced new craft beer-inspired dishes which are out to capture a taste of Italy and diners will be able to enjoy the likes of pastas, Roman-style pizzas and authentic Italian grills made with specific craft beer pairings in mind. In what marks the restaurant's first Valentine's special, the new menu will launch in the run-up to Valentine's Day and extend just beyond it.
It will also mark a first year birthday for the kitchen which opened in the Gateshead shopping centre last February. It became the Italian company's first restaurant in the country - and just its second in the UK - and extended its reputation for serving authentic pasta and pizza plus a range of around 15 house craft beers.
