Famed Italian restaurant group San Carlo has swooped to buy celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo's Alderley Edge fine dining Italian restaurant Luciano. Gino had only launched the restaurant just over a year ago, after taking over the former Piccolino site in the upmarket Cheshire village.
San Carlo is known for its northern flagship on King Street in Manchester city centre beloved by footballers and superstars. It also owns the Cicchetti, Fumo and Bottega restaurants in the city centre as well as San Carlo Fiorentina in Hale.
The family-run restaurant group plans to turn Luciano into its first ever Alderley Edge San Carlo restaurant. Gino's Luciano will remain open for business until February 14 for a last Valentine's Day supper before closing.
