Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo's pizza and prosecco restaurant inside Manchester's Arndale Centre has closed - but has swiftly reopened as new Italian restaurant brand Piccolo by Piccolino. The Italian TV star had launched his My Pizza and Prosecco Bar amid a blaze of publicity inside the huge Next in the shopping centre back in 2017.
Now it has completely rebranded as Piccolo - with new signs at the exterior entrance on Exchange Square as well as inside the first floor of the Next store. It is described as the "new younger sibling of Piccolino restaurants" which are already a popular Italian fixture across Greater Manchester.
Gino had previously worked in partnership with Manchester's Individual Restaurants group with his "My Restaurant" chain as well as on the "My Pizza and Prosecco bar". Indiviudal Restaurants rebranded its other previous Gino restaurant in Manchester at the Corn Exchange as Riva Blu earlier this year, amid a number of rebrands of its other Gino restaurants across the UK.
