    An Italian restaurant has opened in the former Lucia Harrogate site.

    Divino opened at 3 Ripon Road last Friday, March 29. The restaurant "is a testament to the rich heritage and impeccable flavours of Italy", according to its website.

    The restaurant's à la carte menu offers Italian classics with 'a French twist', including pasta, pizza and steak starting at around £14.

    Lucia wine bar and grill closed on March 10 after trading at the site for 10 years. At the time Lucia operations manager, Darioush Shahidi said the restaurant wasn't facing difficulties "it was a case of the right buyer with the right offer".

    Giuseppe Gentile, general manager of Divino, said:

    "The main changes are that the restaurant has a completely new menu, authentic Italian style with a French twist and the restaurant has been rebranded.
    "We decided to open here because we loved the building, loved the interior and loved the Harrogate area."
