The Italian bar and restaurant Porco Rosso on The Ginnel in Harrogate has permanently closed.
The restaurant was owned by the people behind another Italian restaurant, Stuzzi, on King’s Road, and opened in summer 2017.
It reopened after the coronavirus lockdown in July but a post on the Porco Rosso Facebook page earlier announced its demise.
The post said:
“Due to the ever-changing current circumstances and the difficulty the hospitality industry is facing at the moment we have taken the difficult decision to close Porco Rosso and concentrate entirely on the Stuzzi brand.“We would like to thank all of our loyal customers from over the years who have frequented the venue and helped make the place what is was. From hosting various wine producers from all over Italy for civilised, informative and often one-off wine tastings and events, to debaucherous bank holidays and New Year’s eves of dancing on the sofas and binge drinking.”
The site is set to reopen at an unconfirmed date as a new bar and pizzeria called Hidden Bar.
