Another Italian restaurant has opened on the former site of the Gino D'Acampo restaurant at Thorpe Park.
Piccolo, a sub-brand of the famous Piccolino chain, has opened at the Next site, off the M1. Piccolo – meaning 'small' in Italian – aims to deliver 'wonderfully authentic Italian dining experiences that invite you to pull up a chair and enjoy just like in a proper Italian family home'.
Menus at Piccolo restaurants have been designed by head chef Mark Window, who has more than two decades of industry experience, with breads and doughs by master baker Davide Argentino.
