We're closing our Gateshead Italian restaurant because of economic factors and local roadworks
A highly rated Gateshead restaurant has announced it will close.
Sapori, which is situated on Gateshead High Street under the town’s Tesco Extra, released the news through a social media post on Tuesday, January 20.
The team behind the site explained their reasons for closing were ‘numerous’, citing economic factors and roadworks in the local area.
The full statement reads: “After much thought, we’ve made the difficult decision that we won’t be opening the doors again here at Sapori Gateshead.
“This wasn’t an easy choice. What started as a dream of sharing our Italian food became so much more because of you - our guests, neighbours, friends and family.
“Thank you for every visit, every kind word, every celebration, and every plate shared at our tables. We are endlessly grateful for the support you’ve shown us over the last year and a half.
“Thank you all for all of the glowing reviews!
“We have had no choice but to close as a result of numerous issues including the economy, road closures and increasing costs to operate.
“With gratitude, Team Sapori.”
