For the past few years, San Lorenzo restaurant has been one of the highlights of the eateries along Gosforth High Street.
Now the chain has expanded to Cramlington where it has opened in the village area's Old Church.
Eating Out went along last weekend for a quick sample of what it had to offer just days before it opened to the public and we are pleased to say it looks set to maintain the high standards we have come to expect from the San Lorenzo team.
Alessandro Calista, the general manager at San Lorenzo Gosforth and the new Cramlington site, says: "Not only are we replicating our winning formula of mouth-watering traditional home-made Italian food with an honest and friendly service by opening a San Lorenzo in Cramlington, we've also opened a new bar below the restaurant taking full advantage of our expertise gained from owning venues such as Popolo (Newcastle) and Saltwater (Nottingham)."
All your Italian favourites are there, and the taster nights that we ventured to should have ironed out any rough edges.
