Doppio Malto, one of Italy’s leading restaurant groups based in Milan, opened its first UK venue in 2021, bringing its signature kitchen-brewery brand to Glasgow city centre. The brewery operates 28 restaurants across seven Italian regions, with one in France.<br /><br />Doppio Malto will opened its doors in a prime site on George Square that was previously home to Jamie’s Italian, creating more than 40 jobs. <br /><br />The 8000sq ft unit underwent a significant refurbishment, including the creation of a basement bar and a 180-seat restaurant. <br /><br />Announcing the sudden closure, a post on the restaurant's Facebook page read: "Doppio Malto has closed its doors in Glasgow. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of our journey and who found Un Posto Felice with us over the last 3 years."<br /><br />Doppio Malto had imported its beer kitchen menu from its venues in Italy with a range of drinks and a family-friendly welcome. The venue served 16 variations of Doppio Malto craft beers from breweries in Erba and Iglesias. <br /><br />When the restaurant opened in Glasgow, Doppio Malto’s stated goal was to open 100 restaurants throughout the UK following the group’s rapid growth in Italy in recent years.
