A taste of Italy is coming to Fleet with the opening of a new restaurant.

Award-winning Italian restaurant Prezzo is opening in Fleet Road on Friday May 1.

A total of 20 new jobs are being created at the restaurant.

Prezzo, which features a contemporary design, has cost £600,000 to develop.

The restaurant will serve popular and innovative Italian food, including a fantastic range of pizza, pasta, salads, flatbread salads, risotto and grills.

It has seating for 114 diners; 104 in the restaurant itself and a further 10 in a dining area at the front of the restaurant.

Prezzo chief executive Jonathan Kaye said: “The restaurant will serve the highest quality food in comfortable and stylish surroundings.

“I am confident that Prezzo will prove popular and be a great addition to the restaurant scene in Fleet.”

Prezzo will be open from 12 noon until 11pm throughout the week.

It will serve a children’s menu.
