You're wandering along Riverside Walk in Byker when the smell of waffle cones and fresh cream hits you — that's your cue to duck into Di Meo's. This isn't some artisanal micro-batch operation trying too hard; it's a proper neighbourhood institution where generations of Newcastlians have been getting their fix. The queues on summer evenings tell you everything you need to know about the quality of the gelato here. Family recipes passed down mean you're tasting something genuine, not just trendy.
