    This place is a hidden gem, where culinary delight meets magical innovation. The years of experience behind each dish is palpable, creating a mind-blowing gastronomic experience. 🌠🍽️ The Chef's Autumn Tasting Menu is a masterpiece, with creations like the Menai mussels and the mysterious scallop ‘egg’ that's a culinary illusion. 🐚🌟 And then, the bread buffet arrives, turning a simple course into an unforgettable experience. 🥖🎉 The grand finale? A dessert that's both a visual and a taste sensation. Fantastic.

    We had waited for a while to get our booking, my goodness was it worth the wait. Chef Sergio is an incredible chef and his team are producing culinary works of art, well done Overall an amazing experience! Had the Chef Signature tasting menu with wine pairing, everything was faultless, the food was just so good, the pairings perfectly complemented and the service was impeccable. The price is definitely reasonable. I'd definitely go back!

    This review is to express my utmost satisfaction and to commend the exceptional dining experience I recently had at Gem 42 restaurant in Newport. I have been fortunate enough to dine at several Michelin-starred restaurants across the country. However, my experience at Gem 42 was truly outstanding, from the moment I walked through the door, I was genuinely impressed by the warm and cordial welcome extended to me by the staff. Their professionalism and attentiveness throughout the evening enhanced every aspect of the dining experience. What truly set Gem 42 apart was the exceptional quality of their food, which seamlessly combined locally sourced produce with an enticing Italian twist. Each dish was meticulously prepared and presented, demonstrating the chef's dedication to culinary perfection. The exquisite flavours and creative combinations showcased the immense talent and skill of the kitchen team. It was evident that the restaurant's ethos resonated with the increasingly discerning expectations of modern diners, seeking an harmonious blend of culinary excellence and environmental responsibility. well done Gem42.

    What an absolutely incredible restaurant. The food was out of this world absolutely fantastic. A high-end Italian restaurant bringing food,wine,art,and fun together. My choice of menu was the summer "chef signature" menu. And the matched wine. I think I ended up being served eight separate servings/courses. I am including pallet cleaning servings as they definitely deserve recognition. Some servings consisted of several elements, and I will use the bread accompaniment as one example. I was served three pieces of bread,one piece from the North of Italy a second from the middle and a third from the South of Italy. Every element of the meal had an artistic flare, an attention to detail, and a storey to tell. I am going to pick one of the delicious matched wines. A Pinot Noir from White Castle Vinyards in monnmouthshire in Wales. "Yes," a Welsh wine that was absolutely fabulous. I have spent many a week roaming around the Vinyards in Italy, and it's my intention to visit White Castle Vinyard. Customer service is on another level. The chef actually prepares and gives an explanation of what you are being served. What the food is,its origins,its sustainability and how it was cooked, and what Pioneering cooking / preparation technique was used. And it does not stop there as your wine is served by a wine connoisseur who pours your wine. You are again given an explanation of why they have chosen the matched wines and their origins. I think the technical term is "retronasel olfaction," bitter,sweet salt,acid, and the physical feel from the tannins. The connoisseur encourages you to release your taste buds and enjoy your wine. Front of of house staff were amazing. Every little detail was given the highest attention,It felt as though I had a personal maitre d and waitress both were in a class of thier own and made a wonderfull team. I will and want to return as I would like to try the Classic menu. A huge thank you to everyone involved at Gem 42.
