Italian eatery Prezzo invests £700k and creates 50 jobs opening new York restaurant

Italian eatery Prezzo will be opening its 200th restaurant in York on Wednesday June 11 at the Vangarde Shopping Park.

Prezzo has invested £700k into the milestone restaurant and created 50 new jobs. The restaurant can seat 182 diners and includes an outside garden terrace.

Jonathan Kaye, CEO and founder of Prezzo, said: “We opened our first Prezzo on New Oxford Street, London in 2002 and we’ve come a long way since then. We’re thrilled to officially open our 200th restaurant here in the prestigious city of York.

“All of our Prezzo restaurants are individually designed and our York Prezzo is no different. We’ve even created a special champagne cocktail to mark the occasion, the Prezzillini Minster!

“We’d like to say thank you to all of our present and future customers, as we wouldn’t be celebrating our 200th opening if it wasn’t for them.”

Deb O’Donnell, centre manager at Vangarde Shopping Park comments: “The opening of Prezzo has been highly anticipated and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the Vangarde family.”

Vangarde Shopping Park is home to York’s first John Lewis department store, the region’s largest M&S store and a state-of-the-art Next store. Prezzo now joins the impressive line-up of restaurants which includes Giraffe, Costa Coffee, Ed’s Easy Diner, Nando’s and Frankie & Benny’s.
