A popular Whitley Bay restaurant is celebrating success after scooping two awards just a year after it opened.
Pranzo Trattoria & Deli opened on Station Road in July 2021, with Tuscan-born owner Pablo Masucci wanting to bring an authentic taste of Italy to the coastal town. And the Pranzo menu has impressed at the Italian Awards, which celebrates the best of Italian hospitality across the UK.
The restaurant bagged both Best Newcomer and Best Trattoria at the awards, a result which has left Pablo and his wife Louise thrilled. The family has thanked Whitley Bay customers for their support after locals cast their votes for the venue to win the coveted awards.
