    Lucia wine bar and grill Harrogate is set to retain its Italian flavour when it re-opens under new management next month.

    Lucia, which calls itself "Harrogate's favourite al fresco Italian restaurant & cocktail bar" will serve its final customers on March 10, before being refurbished and rebranded as Divino Italian.

    The restaurant on Ripon Road has been Lucia Harrogate for 10 years and underwent a £750,000 refurbishment in 2021. The venue is set over three floors and serves Italian cuisine and cocktails.

    Lucia has two more restaurants in Beverley and York, which will remain open. The company also owns The Cut & Craft, a fine dining restaurant with branches in York and Leeds, with another one due to open in Manchester this summer.

    Darioush Shahidi, operations manager for Lucia, said:

    "Lucia is still really successful and is not why it is closing. It was a case of the right buyer with the right offer and that money will be invested into the Cut & Craft restaurants. We thank all our loyal customers of Lucia Harrogate over the years."


    He told the Stray Ferret that staff would transfer to the new restaurant.
