The attention to detail here is incredible down to the cutlery. From start to finish you feel like you are some place special. The head chef is a wizard and creates some delicious masterpieces. There is a huge wine list with an impressive amount of choices by the glass and organic wines. Come here if you are looking for an experience!

Amazing Birthday Cake I recently ordered a birthday cake from Gem42, and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was the cake beautifully decorated, but it also tasted incredible. The attention to detail in the design made it truly special, and it was clear that a lot of care went into making it. The flavour were rich and delicious, and everyone at the party couldn’t stop raving about it. The texture was light and moist, and the balance of sweetness was just right. It was the highlight of the celebration. If you're looking for a cake that's both a visual masterpiece and a taste sensation, I highly recommend Gem42. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for future events. Thank you to Sergio and Pasquale.

I can’t recommend Gem 42 enough! We booked a table for 10 people as a celebration after our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t be more delighted with our choice. The food was incredible - delicious, so creative and so varied. I’d say the portion sizes were perfect - i wouldn’t have been able to eat another bite by the end! Every staff member was exceptionally attentive, they went over and above to make us feel so special. On top of all of this - they were able to cater for 4 different dietary requirements on our table, without any errors. We absolutely loved every minute and we’ve had fantastic feedback from our guests. Definitely a hidden gem in Newport. Thank you so much. We’ll be back!

We are almost 2 years removed from our visit here, and the food, atmosphere, and service still rank Gem 42 in our top 3 of dining experiences ever. The creativity in the menu, the balance of flavors, all of it combined for a truly memorable meal. We have long said that if we are ever in the UK again, we will make a special trip to Newport just for this experience again.

Honestly the best dining experience think I've ever had. We had the chef's signature menu which was 10 courses(!) And every one was a work of art and fully thought out with attention to detail. The chef explained every course, and even slightly altered some for my pregnant girlfriend which was a nice touch. It was also a nice coincidence to see the main course beef and lamb was from the same village I grew up in! We complimented the meal with the matched kombucha which was lovely as neither of us are wine drinkers. The service was excellent and you can really feel it's a team effort by the whole staff. Can't rate this place highly enough, if I could give a 6th star I would. Really is a hidden gem (pun intended 😉).

Fine Dining Delight at Gem42 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gem42 Restaurant, and I must say it was an exquisite experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped through the doors of this fine dining establishment, we were greeted warmly by the attentive staff . The ambiance of the restaurant was nothing short of enchanting, with soft lighting, tasteful décor, and a serene atmosphere that set the perfect tone for an evening of culinary indulgence. As for the culinary journey itself, every dish was a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. Each course was expertly crafted with the finest ingredients, showcasing the skill and creativity of the talented chefs behind the scenes. To start, we savoured a delightful amuse-bouche that awakened our taste buds with its intricate flavours and textures. This was followed by a series of impeccably executed courses, each one a delightful symphony of flavours that danced on the palate. Standout dishes included the chef signature scallop 55/55. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable, with our knowledgeable waiter guiding us through the menu and ensuring that every need was met with grace and professionalism. The sommelier’s wine recommendations were also spot-on, enhancing the flavours of each dish and further enriching our dining experience. In addition to the exceptional food and service, the attention to detail at Gem42 was truly commendable. From the elegant table settings to the flawless presentation of each dish, it was evident that every aspect of the dining experience had been carefully considered. Overall, a truly memorable experience that exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend this fine dining establishment to anyone looking for a taste of culinary excellence in an atmosphere of refined elegance.

FABULOUS!! The best meal I have ever experienced and it is an experience!! My daughter took me for Mothers day and we had tasting menu with wine. Each course was introduced by the chef and each course was a masterpiece in both taste and artistry. Pebbles which looked like real stones were in fact crispy shells filled with creamed oysters. A small tomato was a selection of heritage tomatoes distilled down and remade into a tomato in its own right. The wine pairings were fantastic and perfectly suited to each course. I really cannot praise this restaurant enough. Bravo

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.

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.

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.

This place absolutely blows the competition out of the water. I didn’t believe the reviews before my first visit, but now I do. It’s not just somewhere to eat, it’s theatre and magic too. The welcome, the layout, the tableware, the glassware, the food, the drink, the environmental ethos, the location and the service are all 5 star. My husband is an omnivore and I am vegan and it’s hard to find somewhere we both really enjoy, but Gem 42 is one. I also don’t drink alcohol and was delighted to see that they have not 1 but 4 homemade kombuchas on offer! I love that you are asked to order in advance to reduce waste, and that their food is seasonal and a lot of it grown by them. I can’t think of anything negative to say about this place, except that I wish it was in Cardiff!

Easily the best Restaurant in Newport One of the best in Gwent This was my first time here and it was a pleasure from start to finish, every aspect was right, from the staff to the decor, spot on but above all the food was outstanding, and I don't say that lightly. This Restaurant could hold its own in any City, not just Newport. The City itself is dire with very little going for it so why they don't champion this Gem more is beyond me, an establishment that is worth shouting about. Well done all at Gem 42 "a true Gem".

A must go if you're in Wales. An unassuming location with Michelin star quality food. Creative, delicious and the presentation is exceptional along with their attentive service. We had the 6 course delicious tasting menu, and every dish will have a twist/surprise. Signature Scallop, waygu beef, impressive display of starters and sprinkles of palette cleansers in between - you will not be left disappointed. Hope to be back!

I've posted about Gem42 and Gemellies before but Gem42 has truly astounded me this time. As always fantastic service, the food second to none, lovely to see new creations on the menu and true delight to be part of the experience. My top restaurant in Newport.

Gem by name, gem by nature!! What an amazing find in a most unexpected place. I cannot speak highly enough about the standard of food that this delightful tiny restaurant is producing. This is Michelin star level from a chef who clearly cares deeply about his craft, his staff and his customers. Every dish was presented as a work of art both in presentation and taste. This was not just a meal, this was an experience!! How lucky to have such excellence in South Wales! Thank you to everyone at Gem42 for an unforgettable evening of gastronomic excellence!!

Beautiful light lunch, and loose lea. Lovely feel and atmosphere, calming music, really welcoming staff. Ordered a tea, delighted it was loose leaf, and a cheese and ham croissant. Giid price, and croissant came with a fresh side salad, crisps and homemade dip. Food really fresh, lovely atmosphere and good service. Would definitely recommend, a gem.

What a fantastic find. Beautiful food in really intimate setting. Food delivered by the chef, giving his recommendations as well. Will definitely go back to try the dishes we didn’t manage to fit in this time.
