Young entrepreneur opens new Italian restaurant in Merthyr Tydfil

A young entrepreneur hoping to build an Italian restaurant empire in Wales has opened a new venue in Merthyr Tydfil. Casa Bianca is the first eatery to occupy the iconic Milbourne Chambers building on Glebeland Street in the town centre.

It is the fourth restaurant opened by owner Andreas Christou, who already operates Casa Bianca restaurant and cocktail bar in Abergavenny, Casa Bianca in Pontypridd and La Piccola Italia in Monmouth. Speaking to WalesOnline in Septamber, the 27-year-old said: "We chose to go with the Casa Bianca brand because it has taken off in Abergavenny...Since opening in 2018 [it] has developed a particularly loyal, tight-knit customer base – many of whom regularly travel to dine with us from Merthyr Tydfil.”
